Chapter 5 : Goddess

'Well I think there is something important you should know concerning you.'

I wanted to say no matter what Mark told me it wouldn't change anything to me. I was totally wrong, first when he started to talk it sounded like gibberish but I focused as much as possible and then,

'Your real name isn't Merylin but Artemis, you are the daughter of Zeus and Leto, twin sister of Apollo which is M who is also a god. Goddess of the hunt, virginity and midwifery and some other stuff I am not really acquainted with. You and Alollo were sent away from Mount Olympus because you were accused of committing a crime. Apollo decided to stay with you. Father and Uncle Zeus believed you were innocent so they sent me to help you and M remember who you really are because you guys were taking real long to return home. Now your goddess soul is stuck in purgatory but if you are able to remember who you really are and everything concerning you and fully accept it then your souls don't have to defeat the seven deadly sins or spend eternity in purgatory. By the way I'm Pan, son of Hermes god of nature, the wild ,shepherds and I'm always associated with sexuality in general.'

°Pan, God of nature, the wild, shepherds and sexuality

The painting of Pan is Not my work***

' Ha haha you stoned? You high or something because I totally don't get anything you said. You just spoke rubbish I swear' I said between laughs. 'What are you talking about? Gods and goddesses. You mock me. Dear cousin'

' I wish I didn't have to do this...' He mumbled. I was confused.

Mark got up from the kitchen chair and all of a sudden I see a shorter form of Mark with hindquarters, legs, and horns of a goat, in the same manner as a faun. He freaking turned into a goat man how is that shit even possible.

I was hit with a kind of momery or scene from someone else's life and everything went fuzzy...

'Artie!! Artie!! Wait my Daddy said you must go to the blessing fountain for flute lessons and do not run away today too.' yelled Panny, standing on the balcony by the fern hedge at Dad's court.

...my head started to spin and I started to see black spots then everything became black and I was left in a silent dark place not feeling anything.

Mark/Pan's POV

I very well know it was a bad idea to turn in front of her and I know she wouldn't have believed me if I didn't. She was like a sister to me so I know her very well but I didn't expect her to blackout just like that. It's been 3 hours since that happened and I don't know how I'm going to explain to Aunt. Since I couldn't carry her upstairs I placed her on the couch.

'Good morning Mark. How are you?'

'Hey aunty. I'm good. Umm... Aunty, Mer desmaiou e ela está no sofá.'

'Oh my! I hope she wasn't stressing herself' she said really worried. Thank the gods no questions.

'She'll be fine don't worry and it's Sunday so she can lay in for a while and she'll be good and dandy for school by Monday'

But then o I had to explain everything to M because of the state Mer was in when he came downstairs for breakfast and he took it pretty well he seemed very interested and asked for every detail and how to save their souls from spending eternity in purgatory. I just had a feeling Mer was gonna doubt in every way possible.

Mer's POV

My head really hurt when I woke up. Mum was overly worried but I told her I was fine. When she asked what happened, everything that took place that middawn came back to me so I went up to M and Mark's room to ask him about what I saw, if he was really a goat. I knocked and when they both responded I entered.

I didn't want to believe that Mark was some goat god and that M and I were from a godly family because I know very well that all existence of gods and goddesses are myths.

'About this morning Mark, was everything that happened real?'

'Well yep I'm a god of fauna and I look like one but I'm still good looking. M knows as well, he kinda took it pretty well. You guys have some serious memories to recover.' he replied shaking his head and laughing.

'But gods and goddesses are just myths. M you know that very well, right?'

'Well we exist very much Artie..' said Mark or Pan.

'Wait you know that name?'

'Yes! He and I used to call you Artie, you and I called him Pollo and you guys called me Panny. We were like triplets. Inseparable from infancy. I miss those days.' he said with a distant look in his eyes.

'How is that possible? Before I passed out I had this vision of a little goat boy yelling at me that his daddy said I shouldn't miss flute lessons by the blessing fountain.'

We spoke some more about these other gods and goddesses, well Mark or Pan whichever is his name, telling us about our home, his dad and our father, Zeus as well. It was actually too good to be true.

The day went pretty fast and it was evening, we all sat down for a light dinner except dad he was no where to be seen. Dad grew distant ever since the incident with his brother, Silas.

I turned in early for the night because the following day was Monday and the information I received today was too much for my brain to handle.

Soon after I liad down I drifted to dream world...

'How dare you. You little brat'

'Your daddy my brother can't do anything about it. He's a scariedy little shit like you. He can't beat me up for touching your body or fucking it can he? No he can't.'

'Dont ever forget you belong to me!!!'
