of many, many flowers I would one day know.
It was also the first time this dark palace
began to feel familiar, like the home
I had once known.
Attempts at Discovery
Styx, Pallas and Charon
all tried to help me
discover my powers.
Styx brought me to
a lake of tears in the Underworld
and showed me how to control water.
I tried for days and the water
would not rise to my fingers.
Pallas showed me fire,
and how to forge.
But I simply made a mess
of every metal I tried to tame.
Charon showed me
how to manipulate the winds.
But try as I might,
I could not create
even a slight breeze
to take me anywhere.
I was determined
to find out
what I could be.
But no matter what I did,
the discovery of who I was meant
to be felt out of reach.
