Birth of a goddess

[Megaera]

The mirror

At home I looked at my hands and pictured how Aya's blood ran between my fingers. I kinda felt indifferent about it all. I also wondered why that was. I felt like the incident with Shin changed me somehow.

I stood infront of the mirror and looked at the long scar running across my belly. It healed a long time ago, but it was still very visible, like a white river running across my skin. I sat down and stared at myself in the mirror. What if I never really survived that event at all?
Did I die? Is that is why people ignore me so much? But no... I am very much alive.
I tried hard to remember what happened that day, but only flashes came back. The pain, Shin's head, the voice...

The voice.
It was a lady who started whispering to me. She was trying to comfort me.
Was she a goddess? Did she save me?
No.. she did not save me. I could not be saved. I was not worth saving.
I was just a pitiful girl that not even father cared about. And yet... she did.
No. She remade me, improved me. That is why I am different now.

I smiled. She cared about me. She must have remade me, because she cared.
In the mirror I could see a tear running across my cheek.
