[Goddess of Love] 1

Once upon a time, in a land beyond the silver-coloured clouds, there lived a fair goddess named Astraeus with her beautiful glossy scarlet ginger hair that shone. Astraeus was known as the goddess of the stars and was worshiped by all the creatures in the land. She was known for her beautiful beauty, grace, and kindness. Her duties included traveling the night sky, creating and guiding the stars, and spreading light and hope to all the creatures below.

One day, while she was performing her duties, Astraeus saw something that captured her heart. Below, on the earth, there was a young man named Alexander, who lived in a small village. He was different from the other humans, for he was filled with kindness, wisdom, and courage. Alexander was a simple man who lived a humble life and helped others whenever he could. Astraeus was so taken by his kindness that she couldn't help but watch over him every night, as he slept.

Alexander had brown wavy hair and a cheerfully sweet infectious smile with 2 dimples dented in his cheek. When he grinned his eyes twinkled in the sunlight, to Astraeus he was the sun and the moon. The only thing she could watch all day long.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, and Astraeus found herself falling more in love with Alexander. She knew that it was forbidden for a goddess to fall in love with a human, but she couldn't help herself. She found herself thinking about him all the time, and longed to be with him. Finally, she made the decision to visit him in his village, disguised as a mortal.

Astraeus traveled to the village and met Alexander, hiding in the corner looking at the man serve food to customers politely.

“Um hello are you Alexander Rayner, um... I heard you have a bakery I've been wanting to visit could you, perhaps... Take me there?”

Alexander who was immediately taken by her beauty and charm took her to the bakery not taking his eyes of her while serving the customers. She had soft long curly chestnut ginger hair, her lips were curved in a small heart and her eyes sharp like an arrow yet gentle and pure.

After Alexander took the initiative to approach her the next day.

“Um well your here again I guess. You must really like something about this place.” He said smiling.

Her heart felt light and nervous, “Yes, well I seem to love what they sell here... and the views great too...”

He chuckled, “But there aren't any windows in the shop I wonder what view your talking about.” He teased her knowing what 'view' she was referring to.

They spent the day together, talking and laughing, and Alexander found himself falling in love with her as well. When it was time for Astraeus to leave, she promised to return the next day, and Alexander promised to wait for her.
