Dust Made Stone.
Some say the old gods died long ago. Some, they say, were reborn with different names, only to die again.
Hermes became Mercury, Eros became Cupid only to be lost again in time. I have heard it all before, more than I care.
Most of their statues are reminders of what was, but some are not. These are the scariest of all – for they are prisons, holding the dust of what was.
Imagine: trapped for all eternity, staring out at the nameless faces passing below while you live on, eternally damned.
That is my fate, since I met Medusa.
