30 years ago, a woman named Tulip Moon made a bet against Nemesis, the goddess of revenge.Tulip bet that Zeus would defeat Typhon, the worst monster.Nemesis bet that Zeus would lose.”It’s a deal.” said Tulip.But after Zeus did defeat Typhon and Tulip won the bet, Nemesis was angry that she lost.She vowed to have revenge on Tulip’s firstborn, a girl named Aisha Moon.Aisha Moon lived in a small city in Greece called Athens.She loved a boy named Theneas sun, but was afraid to tell him.So Nemesis took this opportunity to call Aisha to her tower in the Underworld.Aisha was curious, so she went.
The tower was an inky black, with red curtains that stretched up into the darkness.Aisha was beginning to think no one was home, when a voice called out…show more content… Aisha whispered.They walked into the temple.It was pitch black.There were spider webs hanging in the corners.It looked like no one had been in there for years.Then suddenly, as they turned the corner they saw a monster that looked like a combination of a goat, a lion, and a snake.The name tag said Chimera.”Run!”Theneas yelled.Just as they turned the corner, Aisha felt a hot blast.The curtains were on fire.”It can breathe fire!”Yelled Theneas.They ran down the hall for what seemed like hours, when they saw a light coming from ahead.It was coming from under a…show more content… “Well, I’m not.”Aisha gave him a hug.For the first time, Aisha wasn’t worried about monsters or getting Theneas to love her.She blushed.”Where are we?”They looked around at the room.The paint was peeling.Old photos of Athena’s victories and accomplishments were on the wall.They had made it to the main room.A glowing statue stood in the center of the room.This is where Theneas would finally love her.Wait a second.Back there she had that feeling when she hugged Theneas.It had felt like love.Why did Nemesis say the only way to get Theneas to love her was to kiss in Athena’s temple then?Back there, they loved each other without kissing.Did Nemesis lie?She remembered an old story her mom used to brag about.”Once I won a bet against Nemesis.”She would say.Aisha pieced it all together.”Uh oh.”She said.”What.”Said Theneas.”It’s a trap!” Said Aisha.”Run!”They ran toward the door when a familiar voice called out.”Not so fast.”Nemesis stepped forward.”You!”Said Aisha.She took out her blade.”You really believed a temple could make true love?”Nemesis sneered.She took out a seven-foot-long blade made of celestial bronze.Aisha struck hard.Nemesis swatted it away like an annoying fly.”I will have vengeance!”Nemesis yelled.She swiped.Aisha ducked, and almost lost her balance.Nemesis was really angry.It looked like there was a fire in her eyes.I can use that anger, Aisha thought.”I can’t believe you, a god lost a bet to a mortal.”Aisha Yelled out.Nemesis screamed with rage.She struck.Aisha
