## Events Of Criminal Case

### Still As Stone

Once they felt ready to encounter Medusa, Alex, Kaleb and Jennifer used the bowl they found in the cave to collect water from the pond and marched into Medusa’s cave. They went in deeper than they had done previously, and once they heard Medusa’s hissing, they looked at their bowl where they caught a glimpse of Medusa. Ignoring the snakes on her head and the sinister red eyes, Kaleb saw that Medusa was indeed one of the most beautiful women he had laid eyes on, with her large eyes, a nose that was neither to wide or to small, small full lips and a perfect bone structure, one could not blame Poseidon for falling for her, but it certainly gave him no right to do what he had done to her. Her eyes then glowed brighten and she opened her mouth revealing her long, terrifying fangs. She then attacked and the trio quickly ran from her, Kaleb following Alex who held the bowl, while Jennifer was laying on the corner with her eyes closed to avoid Medusa’s gaze. Medusa looked around and realizing that none of the three had weapons on them, she changed to a confused expression and shyly asked them what they are doing in her cave if they brought nothing to kill her with. It was Jennifer who found the courage to speak, and told Medusa that they simply want to talk with her and that they know that she isn’t as bad as she is portrayed to be and they came to ask her to leave the cave and allow the creatures of the forest to access it again. Medusa’s eyes shone again and she started to shout the word “Lies”, telling the trio that she knows they came to kill her, they just thought of a different, more witty way to do so and started sliding around the cave, freaking out Alex who dropped the bowl. Seeing their only source of seeing Medusa had gone, Kaleb and Alex closed their eyes like Jennifer had done, expecting the worse but strangely, the loud hissing stopped. Kaleb risked a glance, where he saw Medusa standing with wide opened eyes while Jennifer approached her, wearing her sunglasses, raising her hand. Jennifer started to speak, telling Medusa that they know her story, the true story and that what Poseiden and Athena did to her was awful and no man or woman should go through the same thing and they are the true monsters in the situation. Jennifer admitted that at first they came to kill her, believing the lies said about her and under the orders of Simonetta who promised to pardon Alex if he slain her head, but after her sisters told her what the things they went through, they decided to spare her and instead to talk to her and convince her into stopping this madness. She then put her hand on Medusa’s forehead where they both closed their eyes and Jennifer took off her sunglasses and put them over Medusa’s eyes. They then both opened their eyes and when being assured that Medusa would not accidentally turn anyone to stone, Jennifer asked her if she’d like to face the forest dwellers and show them that she isn’t what they were made to believe. Suddenly, Jennifer’s wrist glowed, where everyone in the cave looked and saw that a tattoo of a dove had formed and then shortly after, it disappeared. Jennifer looked at her friends and asked Alex if he knew what that is where he smiled and told her that it’s a blessing from her mother: Aphrodite.

After Jennifer had spoken to Medusa, the gorgon agreed to follow her and her friends to court along her two older sisters. As they walked, Kaleb looked back at Jennifer being exposed as a demigod to their eyes, Demeter admitting that Felicia is her daughter, Austyn and Zachary learning of their relations to Poseidon from Skylla and thought, what if he was a demigod too? But then he thought of his mom and dad, and saw that he resembles Kristof a lot, meaning he’s obviously his father and then thought of Sarah Jessica and how they have the same hair, yet, that’s the only resemblance they shared, making him fear the idea as he loved his mother and could not possibly think of someone else to trade her with, especially a Greek goddess, assuming their all like Athena who supposedly is the goddess of wisdom. The six companions then reached the court, where Simonetta grinned at Alex asking him if he brought Medusa’s head until she saw behind the three quest members, three gorgons, Medusa and her sisters. Wearing Jennifer’s sunglasses, Medusa gave a smile that she meant to be lovely, but it showed her fangs that scared off the satyrs and nymphs in the court. Terrified, Simonetta ordered her people to attack, Alex came in between and told them that everything will be okay and that Medusa is a friend, she won’t harm everyone. Simonetta looked down at Alex and asked him if he’s serious, stating that Medusa is a monster, making her sisters hiss at her. Jennifer stepped in and told Simonetta that Medusa is anything but a monster and that whatever story they were told of her is false, and that the true villains in the story are Poseidon and Athena. This made Demeter gasp and she asked Jennifer if she dares mock the gods, where Jennifer told her that god or not, what they had done to her was horrible and that they should be ashamed of it. She then told the council that they came because they wanted to ask the forest if they could let Medusa and her sisters have a place among them and live with them in peace, promising that none of them would do them any harm, but Simonetta didn’t want monsters around the forest and told her people to seize the gorgons, Alex and the humans. Right then, Pan appeared and told everyone to stop. Simonetta crossed her arms when she saw him and told him that it was about time he came and that they are already done and will have Medusa and her cronies killed. Pan told Simonetta that he came to stop her from doing this and demand that Medusa and her new friends be spared. Simonetta barked at that and reminded him that she is the leader of the forest and she decides who should be kept or not, where Pan nodded and told her that this is true and that he can’t stop her from banishing any of the creatures, but he can stop her from killing them. Simonetta glared at him, while the rest of the judges told her that Pan is right and that they can’t kill the wrong-doers against his word, however, she can still decided whether Alex and Medusa should be punished or not. All the forest creatures looked at Simonetta, waiting for her word where she announced that Alex shall be pardoned for his crime as for Medusa, she wants her and her sisters to be gone at once. The snakes on Medusa’s head bowed to indicate sadness and she wept as she crawled away from the forest, her sisters following her whilst hissing at the forest dwellers to show resentment.
