Long ago Ruled Aneres, goddess of books and stone. She ruled, with her powers, all of Crete. One day her friend came to her in tears.
"Hades chose Persephone over I, the goddess of light. Anger fills me with hatred. I need revenge," cried Firenight.
"What is this nonsense you speak of! How dare he beseech you to be his queen, and turns around to marry Persephone," Aneres said horrified. "We must besmirch his name!"
The next day, Aneres visited the villagers of Crete holding books.
"Behold be books I created to inform thee about the god Hades. Take them annd spread the word for I am your queen. Once thee read thy books, you shall be intoxicated with truth about the so-called god, Hades," Aneres preached.
The villagers did as they were told, and soon Hades came to collect his share of villagers about to die. He saw that everyone was laughing at him while reading the same book, so he killed a villager and took his book away.
"Who dares besmirch my name with such filth,"Hades yelled.
No one responded.
"I did," Aneres yelled back.
"Then shall you be cursed," Hades said as he raised his hands.
Once Aneres heard this, she used her powers of stone and shot it Hades. Hades quickly dodged it and the obsidian mirror in back of him was hit. Some how the powers reflected back to Aneres and she was turned to stone. Hades threw her in the Meditteranean Sea, and Aneres was never seen again. A week later, Firenight ruled Crete.

Wow. And not in a very good way. There are no descriptions. My six-year-old brother could write that, and I'm not joking.
Don't give me any excuses about how 'your best work is not up here for security reasons because people will copy my uh-maaaaazing work.'
One I am Twelve and Two This Was A School Assignment
Thu, July 9th, 2009 3:47pmbesmirch my name? er, if i were you I'd put something up that's a little bit better then this. If your not gonna share some of your best works then whats the point of having a booksie account? no one wants to read this, it's boring.
Thu, July 9th, 2009 8:54pmSure you're twelve. I can believe it, many people here probably are. But on your profile you wrote about how amazing you were, so excuses aren't allowed.
Fri, July 10th, 2009 12:47amOkay, seriously. People, stop beating up on a 12-year-old. Sure, she didn't have to brag on her page, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people may find her works great. And I for one didn't think it was too bad; it actually did sound like a mythical tale to me!
Good job, hun :]
I agree with Shantilove32 :) I think you did a pretty good job for someone so young :) If you want this story to reach its full potential then, as Renee White said, maybe you could add some description and develop the plot a bit? I think it's great that you know a bit about Greek mythology (I find it fascinating) and like to write. Skills are developed through practice and experience so keep writing and you'll see how you improve!
Good job, hun :)
I know how you feel about not feeling safe, but it's okay because you can totally sue if someone copies your work in any way! Everything on Booksie is copyrighted. Therefore, nobody can take your idea. It's like being a real author: If you look on the first five pages or so..you can see the whole copyright thing, and that's similar to how Booksie is protecting your work. Confusing I know, but..the point: you're writings are safe!
I think it was entertaining. It could use a little work and I believe you when you say it's not your best work because I've seen your other writings, and they're pretty good :)Also, the ending is sort of undeveloped..to me at least. It doesn't really wrap up the story quite bit.
Good job!! :D
A very interesting write. I always did like Mythology. I used to know all the Gods and Goddess' names and the demi gods as well. You did a great job on this.
There are a few typos but who cares.
Really liked it.

see, you guys should read feelings of a normal person, and see what could happen if you keep bullying her, i think it's beautiful
