“With every step, I sucked back all the life I had given in the soil. This time it was not pain I couldn't control, nor lack of care. It was a clear decision that was sharply made. If my daughter was not to enjoy this world, to see it bright, colourful and blooming, then no one was going to.”

“What have you done to yourself?” he asked and took a step back from me.
I could say that he had done that to me. He had been the one to push me to that cave and force me to change, but I didn't. I didn't want to give him that power. I had been the one who changed myself. I had transformed myself, again and again, so I could win this battle and finally stand my ground. My soil.
“Anything necessary to win,” I said.”

“You will have agriculture,” he declared. “Making flowers and trees grow pretty, making seeds turn into plants for me to smell and trees to bear fruits for me to eat. You will have the laborious work of harvest, hard and tiring.”
I smiled at him. He was so arrogant. He missed completely that he indirectly made me the Goddess of Food, one of the most vital elements of life.”

“Hermes approached me and examined my face. “He is the King of the Sky, of Olympus. He can do whatever he wants,” he whispered.
“Not this,” I said firmly. “And when you go back up to Olympus, tell him that should he not hurry, all of life will be dead and then the strongest God will not be that of the Sky and Olympus, but Hades in his Underworld. And my daughter will be the most powerful Queen.”

“I don't care if it starts a new war or or makes me a monster in everyone's eyes. I don't care about the cost. They will come to me. I will not go begging. I will not go and accuse. I will find a place and stay still there, waiting for them to realize they need to come and beg me to stop. And when Zeus is forced to come and see me, to look me in the eye and admit how he disrespected me, and promises to bring back Kore, then I will only allow the barest of life to come back.”
