Alex and the Lie

Once upon a time on Mount Olympus, there was a mortal named Alexandramerlandacostalona lll, but the gods call her Alex for short. One day she went to Mount Olympus to see her immortal father Zeus, the god of all gods.

“What brings my favorite mortal daughter to Mount Olympus, the home of all gods?“ said Zeus.

“I bring news of a marriage back at home.“ replied Alex.

She was going to tell her father that she was getting married to the farmers son, Brandon Johnson.

“I hope you aren’t getting married, my precious daughter?“ Zeus said in a loud and angry voice.

Alex was shaking in fear “No father, never will I get married, father.”

That is just the beginning.

 

The next day, Alex told her mother (who is also her aunt) that she was getting married to the farmer’s son.

“Oh, how wonderful it is that you are getting mar….” paused Hera.

“Please mother, do not tell father about the marriage. He will surely punish me for lying.“ pleaded Alex.

Then all of a sudden, Cupid came through the door,

“I have found out who is getting married, the farmers son, Brandon Johnson, and Alex.”

“WHAT“ Zeus yelled louder than ever.  “ALEXANDRAMERLANDACOSTALONA lll, YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE!”  screamed Zeus.

The ground started to shake and the ground split. The gods on one side, and Alex, all alone, on the other side.

She saw Brandon, crying to Zeus “Don’t take her take me instead, I beg you.”

“NEVER, YOU WANT MY DAUGHTER BUT YOU CAN NEVER HAVE HER!” yelled Zeus.

 

As the gods were watching the conflict, they noticed Alex’s side was becoming smaller, and smaller, and smaller, and smaller until the side became a rock.

“Zeus” interrupted Aries, “your daughter’s side is becoming none more than a rock.”

Zeus turned around to see Alex crying and shaking in fear to her father “Father, what is happening?”

“You are being punished Alex. You lied to the great and mighty Zeus, so you must fall and be sent to the center of the earth.”

The rock became just a pebble with Alex holding it. Zeus stopped time to say his last words before Alex fell to the center of the earth.

“I am sorry I have to do this, but you did something wrong and there are consequences.” Then everything went unfrozen and Alex fell.

 

Now, she controls the earthquake all over the world since the day she was sent to the center of the earth. Everyday Zeus sends a prisoner to spend 30 long years in the center of the earth to keep Alex company. As for Brandon, he still got married to Alex and lived with her in the center of the earth for eternity. That is the story of the earthquake.
