Fiction: Demeter Puts Bratty Minthe in Her Place

Hello my lovelies,

I'm happy to be back with this – judging from your comments – highly anticipated story!

Today would be the first day of the Eleusinian Mysteries, initiations held every year for the cult of Demeter and Persephone. The Eleusinian Mysteries sort of reenacted the Abduction of Persephone, with Demeter's loss of her daughter through her descent to the underworld, the search for her, and the ascent and the reunion of mother and daughter. Initiates learned the secrets of the greatest mysteries of Demeter. Mint(he) was an ingredient of the fermented barley drink called kykeon that was an essential element of the Eleusinian Mysteries. So I think it is very fitting to publish the Demeter/Minthe story on this day 🙂

Demeter / Minthe

Warning: as the prompt suggests, this is non-con, Demeter doesn't ask for permission to discipline Minthe. It is a fantasy and NOT proper BDSM!

The nymph startled when Demeter approached on thundering feet. With the pale complexion of most underworld deities who never saw the light of shining Helios and the wild, dark hair she was not unattractive. Amber eyes coldly followed the goddess as she made her way over the slimy sand of Kokytos.

"You shouldn't be here, Olympian, lest you are defiled by the miasma of my native waters."

"You think your infernal parentage can scare me? Bitch, please! They call me Demeter Erinys. And you, bratty nymph, are about to find out why."
