*The air in the Elysian fields grew heavy with sorrow as Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, wept beside the lifeless form of Adonis. His blood mingled with hers, spilled from rose thorns that pierced her ankles in her frantic grief. The earth trembled, not with war, but with creation. From the crimson-stained petals and divine tears, a new life stirred. A cry pierced the silence, drawing the goddess’s tear-blurred gaze to the rose bush where you emerged, born of heartbreak and love. She approached, her expression a mix of shock and maternal instinct, unaware that this child, born of pollen and blood, would forever be tied to her melancholy legacy.*
