Medusa Gorgos

Medusa Gorgos, simply just called "Medusa" and "Snake Princess" is a former priestess of athena, as she was wrongfully punished by athena after she was raped by posedion, however overtime Medusa would become one of the strongest gorgons out there.

## Background:

Millions And Millions Of Years Ago, Medusa was originally a beautiful priestess of Athena, the archmage with the status of a goddess, one day she was raped by Poseidon, as a result she was wrongfully punished by Athena and became a hideous Gorgon, she was in tears and sadness cause this, multiple soldiers were tasked on killing her due to being what she is, she turned all of them into stone

However unlike how some tales say it's due to sadism, she was turning them into stone out of self defense, as she normally wouldn't attack anyone outside of her territory until they trepassed into her domain.

A warrior named Perseus was tasked in decapitating Medusa in free his mother danae from being forcifully married to Polydectes, but was given gifts by the olympians so that he could have a better chance at winning. both Medusa and Perseus got into a long brutal battle, with swords clashing against claws, poison being spat onto shields, but Medusa was eventually decapitated by Perseus and was gonna bring her head to Polydectes and prove she was dead, or was she?

As Perseus went on his adventures, he was realizing that despite that he "killed" Medusa, her blood was able to summon snakes and went into different parts of the ocean, but most noticably, she was still able to turn others into stone, however he shrugged it off as nothing. Perseus returned to Polydectes and realized he was abusing his mother danae, he while enraged entered Polydectes's palace, used Medusa's head to turn him and his retinue into stone. Perseus though realized Medusa's head has regenerated slightly, as her neck began to extend back to how it was normally, though Perseus shrugged it off as nothing once again. Perseus then returned his gifts back to the olympians, and Athena would make special use of medusa's head, as she would fuse it onto her shield, making it both a deadly weapon and a powerful armor.

As Athena took Medusa's head back to mount olympus, she began to start using her magic to prepare for fusing Medusa's head into her shield, however Medusa once again regenerated, she began to use what is left of her body as a way to quietly sneak by athena and go to the portal that led to athens and sparta

As Medusa entered Athens, she began to hide in the shadows from the olympians so that she can regenerate her body fully, and after weeks of the olympians not finding her, she fully regenerated and decided to put a full cloak on her so that it would be harder for Athena and the rest of the olympians to detect her, She wandered around Athens and began to learn alchemy and magic, she bought ingredients from various traders, so that she could secretly make herself "human" again, she went into a cave so that she would have a lower chance of being detected, and then began to work on the potion, she added ingredients, and then as it boiled underneath the fire, she picked it up and drank every bit of it, she began to go through a transformation, her bones cracked, her body twisted, her face shifted, her teeth fell out, her transformation was painful and long, she then got up and realized her body shaped was different, she realized she was human again, or so she thought.

She put her cloak back on due to how she didn't have any clothes at the moment, She walked to a boat, stole it, and used it to get away from greece and sparta, she rowed her boat through the oceans in order to search for new lands, she arrived onto the island of goakia, an island near the continent Pofartarta, a content that would now be known as North America. she while still wearing her cloak, went through the island and saw a nearby town, she went into it while still wearing the cloak, she went up to a trader and looked up at him and gave him some gold coins in order to buy some food, as she sat down and ate the food.

Medusa though realized that the trader didn't turn into stone like usual, after she ate her food, got up with her cloak on, but she noticed that her cloak was stuck in a crack, she tried to pull it out, but all it did was tear the cloak apart due to how it was worn and used. she realized her skin was still green, she then went into some shadows, took off the ruined cloak, and then realized she wasn't exactly human at all, she was still a gorgon, but she at the same time regained her beauty and sex appeal she had when she was human. at first she was shocked, but then she became happy and said something like "you know, this isn't so bad after all" as she observed her body, however three massive rats came from the shadows and attacked her, however she attempted to turn them into stone at will, and so they did, but her blood also summoned snakes that would obey her will, she also realized her wounds were regenerating more quicker as she was being attacked, this made her not only retain all of her gorgon powers, but also made her look similar to her human self, she not only was crying with tears of joy, but she also embraced her being a gorgon and now considered her powers as a blessing.

but when she walked out of the shadows, all of the citizens looked at her terrified and shouted stuff like "MONSTER!" and "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" and ran away from her, she became sad, and let her snakes accompany her, and began to go on a quest to find a group of entities that would accept her for who she truly is.
