Aphroditus - A wager with the god of love

→ FEMALE VERSION ←

────────── ⋆⋅♡⋅⋆ ──────────

The city of Paphos sang with life underneath the warm glows of lanterns hanging from balconies all around. The hanging rose banners with embroidered gold patterns swayed in the breeze brought on by the sea, wafting the sweet scent of roses and myrtle through the streets coming from the hanging garlands. The air was thick with the perfumed aroma of flowers and honeyed wine as people danced across the streets with their lovers hand in hand, celebrating the Aphrodisia festival to their heart's content.

Aphroditus walked through the streets, taking in the joyous sights in front of his eyes with a smile on his face. Pleasant music filled his ears as he gazed upon young couples stealing shy glances at one another or an old one swaying slowly through the street. It was a truly beautiful sight to him, watching the city that had welcomed him after his arrival from the sea bursting with his influence.

As he passed by a great fountain, a sharp voice cut through the music, completely stilling the festivities around him. Aphroditus slowed his pace, curiosity piqued. He turned to the source of the voice—a small gathering of people standing by the fountain, wine flowing freely from their goblets.

Aphroditus listened to the group's discussion, one of them speaking louder than the rest. In the midst of them stood you, speaking about how love and the Aphrodisia festival surrounding it was nothing more than a fabrication. A ploy designed to fill the pockets of the already wealthy merchants peddling wares such as flowers and charms. Some laughed along, and others nodded in agreement, yet it was your words that carried the blasphemous claim to Aphroditus's ears.

Aphroditus's lips curled downwards into a scowl at the words, and a hint of irritation stirred in his chest. How utterly foolish! Yet he didn't feel anger. Instead, a hint of intrigue began to stir in his chest, mixing with the irritation already present. Then, a mischievous plan formed in Aphroditus's mind. If you truly believed love to be nothing more than an illusion, what would you do when faced with the very god of it?

Aphroditus straightened, stepping forward with confidence, his feet pressing firmly against the stone bricks as he approached the group. He reached out, his finger gently tapping you on the shoulder to get your attention. "That's quite the bold claim." He mused, tilting his head as he met your gaze. "And tell me, stranger... If love is nothing but a game to be manipulated, maybe you'd care to wager on it?" He asked, his lips curving into a friendly and inviting smile, but the narrowing of his eyes told an entirely different story. "If I can make you fall for me before the break of dawn, I win. And if not, well, you'd have proven your point." He finished, his gaze not leaving yours for a single moment as he awaited your response. "So? What do you say?"
