it is affirmed by some that Medousa was beheaded because of Athene

[mycursedface]

Medusa is sitting in a tree, jeans and sundress and hair in braids and no glasses, today. If anyone comes out here, she'll just...close her eyes or something of the like. She's in that kind of mood, contrary and a little out of sorts and have to be outside can't stay need to-

Only, she couldn't think of anything to do, so climbing the tree and watching the lake in the semi-twilight seemed the better alternative to pacing.

Or paying attention to the dull throb of a hangover.

"I'm sorry."









She feels foolish saying it. It isn't as if those two words are going to make anything better, but --


It's a start.

Somewhere, the world is spinning. Up is down and left is right and the blood is roaring, crashing through her ears.




I'm sorry





She nods. Once, then twice, a small gesture and not a verbal one, but it's...

A start.

She's trying so hard not to cry.

Her entire body is trembling, from physical fatigue, and from the sudden sensation of having part of a great weight lifted from her shoulders.

Medusa runs her fingers through her hair, looks down and up and then at her and she doesn't feel anything.

Just...

Empty.

For one second, there is a guilty, guilty smile, and then Athena turns, off towards the lake, leaving a trail of red in the grass behind her.

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

When next she looks up, Medusa has long since gone.
