There once was a world called Tropius, where Demi gods and gods lived together. They all had wonderful powers. Some were scary, while others were incredibly unheard of. Each of them had their own personality and emotions—except for one goddess.
She was the most beautiful goddess in all of Tropius. Her name was Flora, but she did not understand emotions.
If someone was crying, Flora would stare at them and ask, "Why is water coming out of your eyes?"
People would simply look at her in confusion, while others would run away. Everyone knew Flora was different.
One day, Flora came across a little demi girl crying by herself. She walked over and asked, "Why is water coming out of your eyes? How are you doing that?"
The little demi girl stopped crying, looked at Flora, and started laughing.
"I'm crying because some demi boys have been picking on me," she said. "They keep telling me that their powers are stronger than mine."
Flora replied, "If I deal with these boys, will the water stop coming from your eyes?"
The little demi girl smiled and asked, "You would help me?"
"Yes," Flora answered. "Show me where they are."
The two of them walked together until they found the demi boys. There were three of them. One was named J, another was named Max, and the last one was named Billy. The boys were playing with their powers when they noticed Flora and the little demi God girl.
"Hey, look who it is!" Billy said. They all began to laugh at the little demi girl.
She started to cry again, but Flora wasn't paying attention to the boys. Instead, she watched the water coming from the little demi girl's eyes.
Flora reached out and caught some of the tears in her hand. She looked at them with curiosity and asked, "Where did they go?"
The little demi girl, Lea, looked at Flora and said, "They disappeared."
Flora looked at the tears in her hand and asked, "How can I make the water stop coming out of your eyes?"
Lea looked at Flora and asked, "Why do you care?"
Flora replied, "I don't know. I just don't want the water to keep coming from your eyes."
Lea smiled and said, "I can't stop my tears because I'm hurt."
"But you said the boys were hurting you," Flora replied. "If I make them stop, then your tears will stop too."
Lea nodded. "Yes, I guess you're right."
Flora walked over to the boys and stood in front of them.
"Can I ask you something?" she said.
The boys looked at each other and laughed.
"Sure," Billy said. "What do you want?"
Flora looked up into the sky for a moment, thinking about what Lea had told her. Zeus looked at Flora and asked, "What have you done? You have killed three boys with the snap of your power!"
Flora face looked blank.
Flora continued, "I just wanted the water to stop!"
Zeus asked, "What water?"
Flora pointed toward Lea. "The little demi girl. The water wouldn't stop coming out of her eyes."
Lea began to cry again.
Zeus asked, "Why is she crying?"
Lea told him, "It's all my fault. I told her that I was being bullied by those demi boys."
Lea quickly said, "I didn't know she would kill them! I just wanted her to make them stop."
Lea continued to cry.
Zeus looked at Lea and said, "Little one, we will take care of this in the Court Room."
There was Astra, the Queen of the moon and stars. There was also Hera, Goddess of the Wilderness, Animals.
Astra looked around and said, "What should we do about this? This is a mess. And what about the creator of these demi boys? We will have to tell them what has happened."
Hera looked at Flora and asked, "Do you even know what you have done?"
Flora looked with a blank face.
Hera shouted, "You must be punished. I am sorry, but you are being exiled from Tropius."
Before Hera could finish, Zeus interrupted.
"Wait! The creator of the three demi boys is here you can speak up now!"The creator of the three boys stepped forward. He had long black hair and wore a flowing black coat. A dark cloud hovered above his head, spreading across the courtroom. As he walked, everyone could feel the weight of his powerful aura. The room fell silent.
He stopped in front of Flora and looked deeply into her eyes. Then he turned toward Zeus.
"This is unacceptable," he said, his voice filled with anger. "You're just going to send her away? Why not take away her life, just as she took the lives of my three boys? They are dead, Zeus. They will never come back."
The pain in his voice echoed throughout the courtroom.
Zeus looked at the man calmly.
"What is your name?" he asked.
The creator answered, "My name is Enor."
Zeus gave him a sympathetic smile.
"Enor, there has been enough bloodshed today. This is not the way of the gods. Flora will be punished, but you must understand something."
Zeus paused before continuing.
"Flora did not understand what she was doing. She has never known emotions the way we do. She did not act out of hatred or cruelty. She acted out of ignorance. That does not erase your pain, nor does it bring your sons back. But taking another life will not heal yours."
Enor lowered his head for a moment, though the dark cloud above him remained.
"I hear your grief," Zeus said softly. "And I promise
you, justice will be done—but it will not be vengeance." Zeus can hear everyone in the crowd whispering I know this is hard to believe this replies but Flora she's not the same like all of us. Flora's creator did not give her any emotions. “She though she was doing good my friend. I understand your frustration, and justice will be served.”
Enor looked at Zeus and said fine he nodded
“Okay.”
Hera looked at Flora.
“The time has come. Flora, you will be exiled from here. We will take away your powers, except for one—the power you were born with.”
Flora looked up and said, "I thought my creator gave me my powers."
Hera replied, "No. The gods gave you your powers, but your creator gave you an inner power—one we knew nothing about."
She continued, "The power to make someone disappear with the snap of your fingers was never meant to be yours. We did not know your creator had given you such an ability. You are not responsible enough to control a power that great."
Hera paused before explaining further.
"When the gods created gods and goddesses, they placed their powers within the stars. Each god or goddess receives powers from the stars, but no one knows exactly which powers they will receive. They are forbidden from using those powers against one another or against the planet itself."
She looked directly at Flora.
"But your creator is different. As creators bring life into existence, they may place a unique inner power within the beings they create. That power belongs only to the creator's creation, and even the gods cannot take it away or fully understand it."
Flora lowered her head as she tried to understand everything Hera had told her. She had never realized that there was a power inside her that even the gods feared.
Flora looked at Zeues.
“Will you send me away?” she asked.
Zeues nodded. He held up a large globe. It began to glow.
Zeues placed his finger on the globe. It started spinning faster and faster. Then, it suddenly began to slow down.
Zeues's finger was still on the globe, but something happened.
A huge portal opened.
“I'm sorry, Flora,” Zeus said. “This is the only place you can live. It might be hard for you there.”
Flora stood up and walked through the portal.
Then, the portal closed. In the courtroom, everyone was still upset, frustrated, and confused. Everyone believed that whoever created the monster needed to pay as well.
As everyone in the court began to talk, all the demi-gods looked around.
Suddenly, Zeus said, “No one knows because Flora was not created like everyone else.”
Everyone looked at him.
“What?” someone asked. “What did he just say?”
One of the demi-gods asked, “So, she's not one of us?”
Lea looked at Astra and asked, “Is she one of us?”
Astra replied, “Yes, she is one of us, but she was created differently.”
Hera interrupted. “No, she is not like us anymore.”
She spoke with anger in her voice.
“All right, everyone, go home. This is over. There will be no more talk about what happened today. Go and live your lives.”
Everyone in the courtroom began to leave.
Enor stayed behind.
“Zeus, I need to speak with you for a moment,” he said.
“Okay, old friend,” Zeus replied.
Lea saw Zeus and Enor talking. She wanted to go somewhere else, but she also wanted to apologize to Enor, so she followed them.
Lea was scared.
“It's all my fault. What if they punish me next?” she thought.
Lea quickly hid behind a bush. Then she heard Zeus talking to Enor.
“Do you think this was the best way to help her?” Enor asked.
Zeus stopped.
“I know you want to help her, but—”
Before Zeues could finish, Enor interrupted.
“Yes. It was. She must learn, or she will never understand.”
