Psyche's Despair:
- Characters: Psyche, Sister 1, Sister 2, Pan (God of the wild) and Echo (Mountain Goddess)
- In this story, Psyche has discovered her husband is cupid, and after taking her sister's advice, she is paying for her sin. Psyche tried committing suicide in the river, but the Pan, advises her to pray to cupid, not knowing cupid was her lover. She then wonders to where her brother-in-law is king, and meet with her sister, telling her of what has happened. When hearing this, upon Cupid's promise to make her sister's pay, her sister jumps off a cliff to her death, the same happens to the other sister. I think a good way to change this would be Psyche opening up to Pan and Echo and telling them of her troubles, and maybe they could find some way to help reunite Psyche and Cupid (maybe give her wings to chase after Cupid). Also, I think it would be good to include Zephyr (the wind god) more. It would be cool if he played a role in reuniting Cupid and Psyche (he could use his wind ability to take Psyche to Cupid of vice versus). Also, instead and just instantly killing her sisters, I think maybe adding some type of curse into the mix would really add something and keep her sisters in the story a little longer. Instead of dying instantly, maybe torture them a little, as they have tortured their parents and Psyche. As of right now, I want to read the second half before making any decisions to change anything. I feel like this story may have a happy ending all together, but right now at the halfway point, it is rather sad.
