Psyche Continued

Psyche was sent back down to Earth, but she didn't go back to her parents kingdom. She was determined to find Eros and win him back.

Psyche traveled far away. Once, she found a beat up and abandoned temple to Hera, which she immediately put her search for Eros on hold to clean up, because Psyche was a very kind person who respected her gods.

After cleaning it up, Hera showed herself to Psyche, saying that she would reward her for cleaning up the temple.

"Please! I just want one thing!" She cried. "To see my beloved Eros again!"

Hera shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry. Aphrodite forbids Eros from you, and I can't fight another god. But when you do need help or guidance, I will be there to help."

So Psyche went on her way. She found another abandoned temple, which after cleaning up she found was a temple to Demeter.

Demeter arrived, and gave Psyche a wish, such as Hera. And Psyche wished for the same thing, but Demeter answered just like Hera.

Psyche went on, but was beginning to give up hope of being able to find Eros again.

Psyche Continued

Psyche's sisters pretended to be nice to her as Psyche showed them around the palace. On the inside, her sisters burned with jealousy.

Psyche's sisters convinced her to let them visit again, and while they visited the put doubt of Psyche's husband in her mind. Eventually, Psyche was desperate to see what her husband really looked like. So, at night, she got up with a lamp and saw who her husband is.

Psyche's jaw dropped as soon as her eyes fell on her sleeping husband.

"My husband is... Eros?" She whispered, which probably was a bad idea. Eros' eyes snapped open, and he flew in the air, wide awake. Psyche looked around and saw the palace crumbling into dust.

"Psyche! Do you not remember my rules?" He said, his eyes burning. Psyche cringed and whimpered.

"Now we can't be together! I don't want that, but that's  how it has to be. I don't want to leave, especially when you have the baby to worry about.."

"Wait, what?!" Psyche exclaimed.

"I'm sorry. This is goodbye." And with that, Eros flew away, leaving Psyche weeping, pregnant, and heartbroken.

Psyche Continued

After a long time, when Psyche and her husband (which I assume you already know who it is) have lived with each other a while, Psyche was starting to miss her family, especially her two sisters, who had already married off down below. But, why would she miss her sisters? They were always so mean and jealous of her. But, I guess that's the kind of person Psyche is.

It was day, which meant Psyche's husband wasn't home.  She thought of her sisters.

When night came, Psyche talked to her husband about her sisters coming to visit her. Her husband was very hesitant at first, but Psyche managed to get her husband to agree.

The following day, Psyche told Zephrys, the wind god who took her their in the first place to take her sisters their. So, her sisters had been swept up from Earth and taken to the floating palace. But, as soon as her sisters landed, Psyche regretted it. She suddenly remembered how mean her sisters could be.

This wasn't going to be good...

Psyche Continued

 Psyche was sat in her giant comfy bed when she sensed someone enter the room. She looked to the door, but saw nobody.

"Hello?" She asked timidly.

"Hi." A voice said back. "Uh, I'm sorry we have to meet this way. The thing is, I kinda wanted to be with you. Oh, gods, this is harder than I thought."

Psyche jaw dropped. This was an invisible man! And, I guess he is her husband too?

"Are you supposed to be my husband?" Psyche asked.

"Yes. Sorry, but this was the only way I was supposed to meet you. There are people after me and you, which is why I can't show you what you look like. I can't be here during the day, either. And the number one ground rule is you can't look at me while I'm sleeping. This is the only way for us to be together. Oh, yeah, I forgot... You may not love me back..." Psyche's husband trailed off.

"You think you love me because I'm beautiful?" Psyche inquired.

"Well, not really. I mean, yes, you are beautiful, but I love you because of how you handled it. This is kinda creepy, but every time I watch you I think of how you haven't let your beauty go to your head. You stayed kind and sweet. That's why I love you."

Psyche's eyes widened as she smiled. That was the nicest thing anyone had ever said to Psyche in her entire life.

"Well, if we're going to be a couple," Psyche said, "I guess we'll have to get to know each other, then."


*Hi! Sorry, Psyche's story is very long and I haven't been able to write in a while. After Psyche's story, I am going to to try out something else. Thanks!*

Psyche Continued

Psyche sighed. The sun was going down, and she was incredibly nervous to meet this super rich and powerful 'monster' of a human.

After some exploring, Psyche found what could have been the master bedroom. She looked around, seeing the pretty design of the room. She saw a giant closet, and decided to see if there was anything she could wear to bed.

As she opened the closet, she was surprised to find that all of the clothes in there looked like they would fit her. And even more surprising was, that all of the outfits looked familiar. With a jolt, Psyche realized those were clothes that Psyche would wear.

Psyche changed into a pair of pajamas, the comfiest she'd ever had, with adorable little footies. She crawled into the giant bed, for the sun had gone down completely now. She was very nervous for what her husband was, if he was this monster like the oracle's prophecy said.

Psyche thought of what her husband was like. She tried to go to sleep, but her thoughts racing around her head keeping her up.

It was going to be very hard to go to sleep.

Psyche Continued

The more Psyche explored this mysterious floating castle, the more intrigued she was own who the owner was.

She found closets full of diamonds and jewels. There was a gigantic all-you-can-eat buffet. Psyche also found out that there were invisible floating servants cleaning everything constantly.

"Who lives here?" Psyche spoke aloud while she was exploring.

"The master of this house," A voice answered. Psyche jumped, then realized it must be one of the invisible servants.

"And who is the master of this house?" Psyche asked.

"Why, your husband." The maid said.

Huh, Psyche thought, so the monster even the gods fear owns this castle?

"And who's my husband?"

"The master of this house."

Psyche sighed. Who was this monster and where was he?

"Don't worry, your husband will come when it becomes dark. Until then, enjoy the buffet. It is quite delicious." The servant said.

So, I guess I'll wait until my new husband comes...

Psyche Continued

You would think that when Psyche jumped off the tallest mountain in her kingdom, she'd have died, right?

Wrong.

Just before Psyche was to hit the water, she stopped in mid-air.

"What?" She exclaimed, looking around in bewilderment.

"Hi, Psyche! Thanks for boarding Zephyr Airlines. We know there are lots of winds you can take, so we appreciate your service. Have a nice flight!" A voice said, it's source invisible.

"What?" Psyche repeated, but her voice was carried away as she was swept away by the wind into the distance.

~~~~

For what seemed like forever, but was probably only 5 minutes, Psyche was taken to an enormous palace in the sky.

"Thanks for flying on Zephyr Airlines, Psyche!" The voice said, probably Zephyr, god of wind. "Go on inside, He'll be waiting."

"Wait, who?' Psyche asked, but Zephyr was already gone.

Psyche turned around, took a deep breath, and stepped towards the palace.
