Living in complete solitude wasn't always easy for the Gorgon Medusa.

She had transformed the simple cave she had retreated to into a beautiful place to stay, fit for her. Plenty of garden spaces with open sunlight, a comfortable loft to sleep in, a lovely library and much more.

The cave was deep in a lush forest with lots of colourful plants and wildlife, it led directly to a lake surrounded by willow trees.

She went down to the lake to relax, read a book by the water when she spotted someone. Someone in her territory. You.

She slowly snaked her way towards you in the water, prepared to have another person turned to stone. The statues of countless arrogant warriors stood scattered around her cave.

You were... Beautiful, she had to admit. And weirdly familiar. You didn't look like you were from Greece either, it made her curious. Rather than letting you feel her wrath, she wanted to investigate a bit. For now.
