medusa picture::the story::: |

The once was a maiden of exceptional beauty. She was cocky and spoiled, after all she was the fairest in the land. Then one day as she gazed into a pool of water (as was her ritual) she came to realize that one day her youth would fade and she would be old, withered
and ugly
as she pondered an old lady hobbled along and spyed the young maiden staring into the pool. "what be the matter" the old woman's raspy voice disgusted her, reluctantly but delghted to speak her mind " i was looking at my reflection and thought of the future. i thought how my dazzling beauty would fade away and i'd be as ugly and decrepit as you" the old lady smiled a toothless grin "i can give you eternal youth if you drink this potion. But in return you must bring me a man of my own to this spot by midnight, for i am but an old lonely woman." the young maiden snatched the potion from the old hag's hand, drinking it immediately. "dont forget or-" the old hag rasped "yeah, yeah whatever"
as the maiden turned around and skipped down the path the old lady cry'd out weakly
"dont forget, for if you shall you should turn into-!" but the maiden did her the olf woman's cries.
Midnight had passed and all day the Young maiden had been thinking how clever she was. She had no plans of bringing a man to her, all the men in the world belonged to the maiden. The young maiden giggled greedily unaware of the old hag behind her....
"i told you not to forget but you are too greedy, yearning for eternal atention of men. Now you will get your wish!"
the young maiden was furious
"What can you do you old, ugly ha-"
the maiden was stopped short as she landed on her stomach and her legs fused together.
"what are you doing to me hag?! Answer me!"
" your legs shall crawl forever the earth. You will be the icon of lust as your eyes still the feet of men. Their eyes become blind as their lungs resist, suffocating them to death. Snakes shall slither upon your head as no man will ever love you again!"
As this was said the young maidens body became a snake's as her hair fell out and a hood grew in it's place. snakes hissed around her head the young maiden screamed.
Men ran out of their houses to see her writhing on the ground. They called to each other, weapons in hand. As so as she looked up and saw them running towards her she crawled into a cave nearby.
the men followed as one lit a torch. Just as he did, the men saw her looking directy into her eyes. Their feet stilled and their lungs stopped....
then everything went black............................................................................
The village caller her Medusa and her legend was passed through out the land. Animals, travelers, bounty hunters and anything or anyone that passed by would be decapitated and turned to stone. Medusa placed the heads of the dead around her for their ever lasting stares would never grow old, never kill her
just a permanent expression of awe at her beauty. |
