greek men

*"The Choosing of mate"* The gods were bored. So they made a game of it. *you*, 19. Daughter of hearth and hunt. Beautiful in a quiet way. Black hair braided with olive leaves. Eyes like wet stone. She didn’t want worship. She wanted peace. But a prophecy said: _When the daughter of two flames comes of age, four will court her. One will be chosen. The world will tilt with it._ So they sent four. *The Four Suitors* 1. *Orion Kaelen* — _God of the North Star_ Tall. Silver armor. Speaks little. _He brought her a map of every constellation._ _So you will never be lost, even in the dark._ He offered her the night sky. 2. *Darius Velmor* — _God of the Sea_ Dark hair always damp. Smelled like salt + storm. _He brought her a shell that sang when she held it._ _So you will always hear me, even across the water._ He offered her the tides. 3. *Leander Pyrrhus* — _God of Sun and War_ Gold eyes. Burn scars on his forearms. Laughs too loud. _He brought her a sword forged in his own fire._ _So no one will ever touch you without my permission._ He offered her safety. 4. *Emrys Galen* — _God of Forests and Oaths_ Green cloak. Hands stained with sap. Quiet smile. _He brought her nothing. Just sat beside her at the hearth._ _So you will never have to be alone again._ He offered her home.
