Andromeda FMG of the Titans (Short Story) Greek Myth (Patreon)
Content
The tale of Andromeda is one of great tragedy, and also of great triumph. It is a story of beauty, of strength, and of love. It is a story of the power of faith, and of the determination of the human spirit, and the power of love, and the might of mighty female muscles.
Andromeda was a young girl of incredible beauty, with a face that could light up the night sky. Her hair was like a golden sun, cascading down her shoulders in waves of shimmering light. Her eyes were like two shining stars, bright and full of life. She was a goddess, a queen among mortals, and all who saw her were awestruck by her beauty.
She was the daughter of Cassiopeia, the queen of the land, and Cepheus, the king of the sea.
Cassiopeia foolishly boasted that she and her daughter were more beautiful than the sea nymphs. The sea nymphs, offended by Cassiopeia's arrogance, called upon the great sea god, Poseidon, to punish her.
Poseidon, angry at Cassiopeia's boastfulness, sent a massive sea creature to ravage the land. The creature was so large and fierce that it could not be defeated by any mortal man. The people of the land were terrified, and they begged their king and queen to do something to stop the monster.
Cepheus and Cassiopeia, desperate to save their people, consulted the oracle of Apollo. The oracle told them that the only way to save the land was to sacrifice their daughter, Andromeda, to the sea creature. And so, against her will, Andromeda was chained to the rocks by the sea, to be eaten by the monstrous beast.
But Andromeda was not alone. She had a champion, a hero who was determined to save her. His name was Perseus, and he was a brave and valiant warrior. Perseus loved Andromeda with all his heart, and he would not let her be sacrificed.
Perseus prayed to the goddess Hera for a way to save Andromeda. And to his surprise, Hera answered his prayers. She gave him a potion of might, a potion which contained the blood of the titans themselves, which would give him the strength of a thousand men. Some might think it strange for Hera to help the young man. But, Hera giving young Perseus the potion was an attempt to lead him to his doom.
For she knew he was told to go on a great and impossible quest. A quest involving taming the winged and fabled Pegasus, and eventually slaying one of the immortal Gorgons. She knew no matter how strong, no one could face a Gorgon and survive, so she gave him this gift. Not realizing what a clever young man Perseus was, and how love can truly be inspiring.
At first, Perseus thought to drink the potion himself, but then he realized that it would be much more useful if he gave it to Andromeda instead. But when Perseus arrived at the rocks by the sea, he found that the sea creature was already there. The creature was huge and terrifying, with sharp teeth and claws that could tear a man to shreds. Perseus fear was as great as what the monster was large, but he was driven on by love and so with love giving him courage he pushed himself onward.
Quickly, Perseus climbed up the steep rocks, his heart pounding in his chest and reached the princess's side. He put the potion to her mouth and Andromeda drank it down, and in an instant, her muscles swelled with power. Her biceps bulged and rippled, growing bigger and stronger with each passing moment. Her chest expanded, her abs tightened, and her legs grew thick and muscular. She was imbued with the strength of the titans, and she flexed her powerful muscles, and the chains that bound her to the rocks broke like twigs.
With a mighty roar she lifted the massive boulder that lay nearby. It was a feat of strength that would have been impossible for any ordinary mortal, but for Andromeda it was child's play. She lifted the boulder with ease, and with a mighty heave she tossed it at the sea creature.
The boulder crashed into the beast with a thunderous crash, and the impact sent shockwaves rippling through its body. The creature writhed in pain, its scales cracking and shattering under the weight of the boulder. While the beast thrashed and struggled, it still did not die.
Andromeda was not deterred she picked up a second boulder, this one far bigger and far heavier, so heavy that even with her great strength it was almost an impossible task for her to lift. But, just like how Perseus was empowered by love, she was too. It was her love for Perseus that gave her the resolve to lift that immense boulder.
Her great muscular arms trembled from the strain of the task, and her veins throbbed from the impossible challenge, and her legs buckled under the extraordinary weight, but lift it she did. And with a second mighty roar Andromeda lifted that massive boulder and hurled it at the sea creature, crushing it beneath its weight.
The beast was dead, and Andromeda was saved.
And so, thanks to the bravery of Perseus and the strength of Andromeda, the people of her kingdom were saved from the terrible fate that had been inflicted upon them. The people rejoiced, and Andromeda and Perseus were hailed as heroes, they were married in a grand ceremony. They had many strong and brave children, and their daughters were particularly strong, taking after their mother.
