My name's Medusa. I'm a gorgon. Until recently I found myself happily dead following being killed thousands of years ago by a hero called Perseus. Back then I was resigned to living in a pit with the almost uncontrollable ability to kill anything that laid eyes on me. Why? Because I was raped. And apparently it was my fault. Now I've returned to find myself cast as the villain in that tale. And people honestly wonder why I'm not a people person.

Oh my gods, people.

I feel like my father right now and it’s terrifying me. I don’t feel very upset. Perhaps it hasn’t sunk in? Triton and I weren’t together for very long, after all. I think he grew attached much faster.

Why should you feel like Zeus if you didn’t have chemistry with him? And what makes you say that?

I thought we did for a while but… It was only in the moments he stopped being himself that I felt a connection. He’d act more like I wanted him to and it’d spark my interest, but then he would return to being himself and I didn’t… I didn’t want that.

He…he’d say things and always want to hold me or keep me around, and he’d give me gifts and pet names…

Oh…I’m sorry to hear that. Did you not think he was on par with you in terms of constitution or…no, I shouldn’t ask about that. That’s not respectful. 

So was he needy?

    I’d hope so… but I don’t know what aunt Amphitrite will think.

    Worried? Because of Zeus and Poseidon?

    I don’t know, worried? The air in this academy feels charged with tension. And you?
