Chapter 3: Realization
"I’m Althea, the Goddess of Lust and Love."
"Goddess of Lust and Love..." I echoed the title absentmindedly.
Almost immediately, I wanted to respond in the same manner. "I’m Kratos, the God of War, then."
Thankfully, I bit my tongue just in time and was able to keep my funny thoughts to myself.
Still, I found her introduction, especially her title, utterly absurd.
’Goddess? What’s she talking about? Is she roleplaying?’
Althea suddenly smiled and suggested. "Why don’t you take a good look around?"
’Take a look around?’
Her suggestion surprised me, yet on second thought, I felt like there was a deeper meaning behind her words, as if it might lead me to answers I’ve been dying to know.
Her words also made me realize how much I had been neglecting my surroundings.
I had been so preoccupied with my own situation that I had barely paid attention to where I was. As I finally took a moment to observe the room I was in, I realized I was sitting on a queen-sized bed, surrounded by red roses, giving the impression of a bed prepared for a newly married couple to consummate their first night. Though, in this instance, I was alone - well, not entirely alone, as there was a cute doll beside me.
The room had no ceiling and was exposed directly to the night sky above.
