Sasha relaxed, very glad to hear that. "Thank you. That means a
lot," she said softly. Sighing happily, she returned to finishing
her soup. Suddenly, a loud, bosterious voice boomed through the
temple. The male voice carried across the entire island. "Daughter!
I've come to meet you!" The footsteps echoed through the halls as a
Poseidon made his way into the room. He had broad shoulders and was
dressed with just a high quality cloth wrapped at his waist. He was
grinning, not that Sasha could see. She had closed her eyes,
squeezed them shut as tears rose to the surface. Her snake hair
thrashed and writhed around her head, clearly angered and agitated.
She couldn't even speak, despite trying. "Will you not come here
and give your father a hug?" Poseidon asked, chuckling. Finding her
voice, Sasha shook her head, slapping her empty bowl off of the
table as she rose to her full height, tail flickering angrily
beneath her. "No! I am not your daughter! I am not your great
granddaughter! You are nothing! You are a monster! Leave my island!
Leave my home!" "Me? I am a god, child. And not one boasting snake
features," he replied dryly, looking annoyed by her reaction.
"...then my Medusa is long dead...I had hoped to see her again. You
look just like her. No matter. I am here now. Great granddaughter,
you say? Well, I am still happy to meet you." Sasha's jaw dropped,
wiping away her tears as she struggled to regain her composure. Her
eyes remained closed and her head facing the floor. The world had
teased her. Things had just gotten better, she was happy. But that
only meant a higher height to fall from back into depression.
