Everything is quiet. Too quiet. The wind barely stirs, and the sounds of animal life are sparse. You wonder how you ended up here, how your wanderings led to this hidden place. One could think there are no other Pokemon around for miles.

Except there is one.

You see a ragged old Mew laying by a pool, her tired gaze distant, her fur marred with large burns. She is almost as still as the land around her- if not for the movement of her sides with each breath, you might have thought her dead. Even as silent as she is, though, you can feel the power within her- you can feel it is an ancient being.

You can guess it would be a very bad idea to frighten her.

Do you approach?

SINOPE // DAUGHTER OF ASOPUS

“She was one of the daughters of Asopus and thought to be an eponym of the city Sinope on the Black Sea. According to Corinna and Diodorus Siculus, Sinope was carried away by the god Apollo to the place where later stood the city honouring her name. Diodorus adds that she bore to Apollo a son named Syrus, supposedly afterwards king of the Syrians, who were named after him. However, the Argonautica and Valerius Flaccus relate that Sinope was abducted to the site by Zeus, who, in his passion, swore to fulfil her dearest wish. Sinope declared she wished to remain a virgin. Sinope later tricked Apollo and the river Halys in the same fashion and remained a virgin all her life.”

Sinope

Etérea sombra de blanca seda, caminando en silencio junto al mar, al caer tus lagrimas no distingues, tu triste llanto del agua con sal.

Pálido recuerdo sin nombre ni fecha, que añora un ayer ahora fallecido. Cuentas tus noches en soledad, y sientes que el tiempo se ha detenido,

Refúgiate en la noche sin almas, y busca un susurro en el silencio. Mas los espejos que te acompañan, observan y callan sin hacer aprecio.

La Luna tu compañera y amiga, va y viene como un desaparecido no hay tregua para la diosa herida, que ansía lo que nunca ha tenido.

”Miss Mewmew?” Matcha asked, curiously approaching the Mew. “You’ve got lotsa boo-boos. Do they hurt lots? Matcha can get you a bandaid for them.”

"...yes, they hurt sometimes.... but I am alright, young ones, thank you... are you here alone..? Where is your parent..?"

Propaganda:

Ourea

What's The Love Story?

Ourea is a nymph, and daughter of Poseidon! When Apollo and Poseidon were in Laomedon's service in Troy, she and Apollo got together. They had a son named after Troy, Ileus, who Apollo loved very much.

Why Should They Win?

All I can think about is Ourea skipping to the walls of Troy each day to flirt with Apollo in front of her dad lmao

Kids?

Ileus! :3
