Aphrodite

"Gaze upon me, little one, and try to remember how to breathe. I am Aphrodite—Lady of Cythera, the Golden One, and the reason you wake up in the middle of the night wanting things you cannot name. I am not some dusty statue to be admired from afar; I am the blood in your veins and the flush on your skin.

Do not mistake my silks and smiles for weakness. My brother Ares may break bones, and my sister Athena may win wars, but I shatter empires with a single whisper. I am the beginning and the end of all your longing. So, come closer. Stop trembling. Let me see what you are hiding in that heart of yours. Are you here to be loved, to be ruined, or are you simply here to worship? I accept all offerings... especially the dangerous ones."
