Styx The Useless Goddess

[A Few Months Prior To Current Events]
"Am I really useless? Not worthy of my title? Pointless..?" Styx
thought as she quietly looked around the area of where she was
in. A cool breeze flowed through the plains of a non-descript
area. She hadn't thought much about her location. She just
wanted somewhere..quiet to think and reflect on life. What was
her purpose in life? Her family all hated her. She had really
done a good job screwing up her immortal life. Styx The Useless
Goddess..a fitting title for a being such as herself. She sighed
and looked up towards the sun. Letting it's warmth grace her
pale skin. Devli and Angle slowly materalized at her sides
looking over her in concern. "What's wrong Styx?" asked Angle.
"Yeah, anything we can do to help?" asked Devli. "Nothing,
girls. Just..tired...so very..tired. I want to stop being a
waste of space. In order to truely help those I call friends and
family. You included!" she said, smiling to the duo of
immaterial lights. They were at full power at one point, how she
longed for that feeling again. This made her come to the
conclusion. She'd train herself in order to become better at
creating and making things! To restore her full power. She began
by creating small intricate objects at first, the process would
be long and tedious, surely long enough to last her a few months
of work. Day and night, night and day. She was either meditating
or creating slowly increasing in size and intricacy items and
creatures. Utilizing her fullest extent of goddess powers to
really test herself to her limits. She also decided to meditate
while wanting to sleep in order to further increase her powers.
As the days turned to weeks, and the weeks turned to months, she
noticed Devli and Angle gaining more..what was the word to use?
Substance? Yeah..she noticed they were gaining more substance to
them. More..materialized. Even gaining some of their former
luster! She was estatic. She continued this cycle of creation,
populating the world with new creations from the Goddess Styx
and her powers. Meditate, eat occasionally to feel some vague
form of humanity, create, etcetera. This was her cycle for the
months ahead. To make herself less useless. She longed to be
needed again. To be sung about in song and tale once more. But
most importantly of all...
She longed for acceptance of her sister once more. While she
outwardly became more and more cold towards Hera. It was only
for her own protection. She didn't wish to lose her again; so
she forced herself to hate her so she wouldn't get close to her
again. On the inside her heart desperately ached for Hera's love
and acceptance; like when they first created the world. "Hera..I
miss you." were the only thoughts running through her mind every
once in a great while.
The training eventually came to a close when she met Damien...
To Be Continued.
