when she did he
immediately thought of the constellationthe galaxy it moving towards Earth towards our Milky Way
they will collide in an approximated four billion years
she read him humour piqued her expression
False positive.
because she was humoured an beautiful an he was confused he
smiled
uttered repeating her
Yes.

I believe you’re thinking
of the galaxy.

of Queen Cassiopeia and King Cepheus.
Am I in
over your head?
No no Thank you for correcting
my thinkingIm familiar

giggled Maybe a bit, it’s unusual to meet a someone who knows
mythology . which fascinates me.

she smiled bigdimples dominated her cheeks a
soft peachblush washed her face and throat
Mygawd shes beautiful
he thought Ill take it
Her parents were
boastful of Andromedas beauty so godsbeing gods thinskinned were angered
They wanted to destroy the entire kingdom but relented instead they demanded Andromeda be sacrificedchained to
a rock to be eaten by a seamonster
Pretty
original if you think about it

come into her face
An Perseus who beheaded Medusa saved Andromeda from Cetus the seamonster in exchange for her hand in marriage
she
was absolutely radiant
Mygoodness . I'm impressed.

stories However if I laughedenjoyed
mythology I wasnt made to kneel on a
broomstick

Art as a white woman Shes black a princess
of Ethiopeia
she cleared her throat a
wee bit

The seamonster
Cetus. Yes.
Is Latin Greek is ketos Root for cetacean Of whale of any large sea creature Or seamonster
