Mesperyian: Goddess of torture and punishment

Mesperyian

(goddess of torture and punishment)

(symbol is the mask or black roses)

Mesperyian is the daughter of Hades god of the underworld. Mesperyian was born when Persephone left for the first time to visit Demeter during the warm seasons. During her absence Hades found himeself so lonely after being with the lovely Persephone that he constently found himself thinking of her at the most randomest times. At these times he sometimes found himself experiencing a type of day dream. He began to see and vision what a child with Persepone would be like. Sometimes Hades would vision this child so much that she took on a form, but soon as though never there, the image would vanish into thin air. After several weeks though and no word from Persephone, Hades grew so lonesome that he took on depression. This depression became so stong that when he began his now daily dream he visioned the child so perfectly down to her last strand of hair that when he was done she did not vanish this time, but came forward and sat down next to him. He named her Mesperyian who grew to be a lovely woman more attractive than Aphrodite. Aphrodite hearing of Mesperyian grew very jealous of her gossiping beauty. So one day Aphrodite took it upon herself to visit the underworld and forever set straight who was the most beautiful. When she got there she was so astounded and awed by Mesperyian's looks that she hesitated, but sure enough was enraged with jealousy and hatred. Aphrodite knowing she could not kill Mesperyian because she was a goddess soon devised a plan. Weeks passed and word traveled and Aphrodite become more jealous, but she knew she had to wait for the most perfect moment and sure enough a few weeks later that moment soon arrived. Mesperyian longing to stretch her legs and breath fresh air surfaced to the ground from the underworld for a walk. Being envisioned as Persephone's daughter she also loved nature. So Mesperyian walked to the far east for many steps when she came upon the most lovliest comb Mesperyian had ever seen made of gold and pearls with leaves of the most highest quality etched into the gold. Astounded by this discovery she became very excited and decided to try the comb so she used it to pen back her silky strawberry blonde hair not knowing that the comb was part of a devious plan on Aphrodite's part. Having stuck the comb just right into her hair, the gold picked up the heat of the sun and burst into blazes of fiery heat and wicked flames. Mesperyian caught off guard tried to demolish the flames with her right hand only did she stop when the fire was out. Hurriedly she ran to the nearest river only to be revolted by the image reflected back towards her for her silky hair was no more than mere ashes and her face a mass of hideous remains. Peering down to her right hand she saw the hue of charcoal and cracked nails. Being a goddess Mesperyian could not die, but she had a weakness due to a lack in her system that Hades had left out of the vision, her skin was not immortal to fire. The only harm fire could do to Mesperyian was to shrivel her skin and burn it dark as coal, the damaged would never worsen nor would it ever heal. This was one of the reasons she was to never go outside for fear that she would somehow catch fire, but curiousity of the upperground air had led to just that. So before further complications could accur Mesperyian returned to the underground miserable and angry at heart where she soon ordered for Hephaestus to make her a mask of intemidation. Upon wairing the mask she did not feel whole though and felt as if something was missing. To fix this she did as Hades had done to create her, she envisioned wings of darkness and evil to take root and grow out of her back to give her the strength to fly and a right hand of metal and sharp claws for power and pain. With the new attire also came a change of heart, Mesperyian had always taken after Persephone's kind heartedness and love of nature, now only yearned for torture and punishment. So when Mesperyian saw someone misbehaive her ways or her mind she grew angry and would go about seeking her revenge on poor souls who was the root of the situations by flying upon them and sweaping them off the ground only to tear them to shreds with her metal hand and feed them to the three headed beast of the underworld. Some day Mesperyian punished more people than of other days, many say that the day she most seaks was Judgement Day, but others would disagree saying that the day was forever called Halloween and Mesperyian that was the start of costumes to scare people off with her blood chilling mask, wings of only thought of only as a demons and hand of metal spears.
