Boreas: A Short Story

One serene spring evening, the snow goddess Chione was helping her mother Orithyia grow trees in time for the season of winter. Chione was a wonderful young lady, she had long luxurious dark hair indistinguishable to that of a wolf, splendid cocoa eyes that mirrored the sap that is expelled from a Sycamore tree, and snow white skin. Being the daughter of Boreas, the Bringer of Winter and divine force of the North Wind, she had inherited her father's forces of the cold. Moreover, she had been honored with his great looks. Despite the fact that she acquired a large portion of her father's qualities, Chione's identity was the finished inverse of Boreas, much the same as her mother. Boreas is frequently known for his cruel and irritable conduct
They didn't see when she had been blown away and kept working when the impacts of the sudden wind died down. It was just when the snow and ice began to melt that Cleopatra saw Chione was gone. Chione had been blown to a little ridge in the mountain side. Boreas, acknowledging she had been knocked unconscious, took the chance to execute his arrangement.

Boreas flew past the most distant mountains into the skyline and in the end halted at a cloud. The cloud was a little forlorn cloud remaining all alone. He wrapped her up in the cloud thus she couldn't move. He wrapped her up firmly so she couldn't breathe, only struggle to do so. When he had wrapped up her up, Chione had stirred awake. Panicked, she demanded to know who he was and what he had done to her.

"I am Boreas, the lord of the North Wind and your father," he said. "Your mother has infuriated me awfully by abandoning me and escaping to Mount Haemus in the wake of bringing forth my children, and now I will take her prized one from her."

Boreas took off back to Mount Olympus leaving Chione alarmed, caught, and confounded. How might this threatening man be my father? She thought
Everybody has been looking for you without end for over a month." he said, worried. Chione had no clue it had been just a month since she had been trapped, to her it felt like a large portion of a year has passed by. Quickly, Chione disclosed to him of Boreas' shrewd deed and let him know she dreaded he will hurt her sister and mother in the event that he hasn't as of now. Exasperated, Hermes asked how he could offer assistance.

"You must find the cloud nymph Nephele, she is the only one who can free me," Chione cried.

Hermes knew this was the only way and set off to search for Nephele.

Nephele had been working with the rain clouds for the following product harvest when Hermes came to visit her. She was shocked to see a generally quiet and gathered Hermes so stressed and on edge. When Hermes disclosed the issue to Nephele, they both set off to where Chione was trapped. Chione was overjoyed to see that Hermes had succeeded in bringing Nephele. Nephele rapidly started unwrapping the cloud off of Chione as Hermes helped her in sitting up.

"How might I ever thank you for saving me?" Chione cried, throwing herself completely into an embrace with Nephele in gratitude.

"Why must you be the one to repay me," Nephele asked, "for you are the person who has sustained this lonely cloud. It has been nourished by your godly tears, and it now can join the other clouds so it may nourish the crops just as you did this
