If Fate Allows

If Fate Allows

An old man put some white flowers on the bed and a red petal roses surrounded it. Then he wears white garments, wash his feet and lay down.

Eros: (sigh) it’s my time. I miss being god and an immortal (watches over the window beside where he laid) but who cares? I’m happy being this, I’m contended.

The old man was a god before, yes a god. He’s god Eros, the God of Love.

Eros: and now (as he close his eyes and put his two hands above his chest) my love and I will meet and continue what we’ve started.

FLASHBACK

Mt. Olympus where the gods and goddesses lived. Zeus rule their world. It is a magical place where there are two-headed serpent and a combination of many animals. Where the gods were powerful and mortals are forbidden to enter and to live.

Aphrodite, the Goddesses of Beauty that even gods adore and love her. One morning, on her throne. She is observing the mortal world. And saw Psyche, a beautiful and lovely mortal lady that caught her time and attention.

(Aphrodite, sitting crossed-leg on her golden throne while eating a perfectly red apple)

Aphrodite: (mad) who is she? How dare those mortals adore her so much than me? I am Aphrodite, the Goddesses of Beauty, cannot be compared to a mortal like her. (rolled her eyes from her crystal ball)

Stands from her throne, walking back and forth.

Aphrodite: I am insulted, very insulted (yells and throw the apple at her back)

Eros, her son at that time sharpening his 5 golden arrows.

Eros: aw! (Eros touch his head as he look towards the direction where the apple came)

Aphrodite: (look at Eros and smiled delightly) my beloved son, come here. (sits back to her throne) I need your help.

Eros: (set aside his arrows and stand up) I am grateful that you’ve come to me. (fly to his mother’s side) what can I do mother?

Aphrodite: (seductive and devious voice) I need you to use you power (touches Eros hand) the power to make anyone fall in love with any person.

Eros: well, I can do that...
