One-shots(Queen)

Freddie and Roger

(Based on Echo and Narcissus[myth])
Winfred Taylor, the river nymph, gave birth to the most beautiful child. Once out, Winfred brought the child to the blind seer, Tiresias. She wanted to know his destiny.

Tiresias told her that he would grow old only if he never "came to know himself."

The child's name was Roger. Growing older only caused him to grow even more beautiful.

His gorgeous looks had made anything and everything that looked at him fall in love. They fell in love with his long blond hair, his bright blue eyes, his milky white skin, but the problem was, while they all fell for him, he was so oblivious.

He had so much pride in himself and his beauty that he couldn't care less for the feelings for others.

One nymph by the name Freddie, had once saw Roger chasing deers and immediately fell for him. Just like every one else, he wanted to get his attention but there was one problem.

He could only repeat what was said to him.

Why you may ask. Well, a long time ago, Hera, a goddess and the wife of Zeus, cursed him.

Said that Freddie was helping Zeus cheat.

You see, Freddie was telling Hera how beautiful she was and that he loved her dress while Zeus made his escape. Hera found out about this and then cursed Freddie.

Now, trying to get Roger's attention was the hardest thing.

Freddie silently followed Roger every morning, trying to figure out how to tell him his feelings.

One morning, Roger wandered away from his mate, John, and was now looking for him.

"Is anyone there!" He yelled out.

"There!" Freddie called

"Come here!" Roger said

"Come here!" Freddie repeated

"No, I said it first." He said, a smile growing upon his lips.

Freddie repeated once again.

"Come. Let us meet." Roger said

Freddie took the chance and stepped away from the tree he was hiding behind. "Let us meet." Freddie smiled, which was quickly wiped off once Roger took a step back.

"You are not John. I would rather die than be with you." Roger growled

"Be with you." Freddie pleaded.

Roger quickly ran away from him.

Freddie was beyond devastated. He loved Roger and couldn't live with knowing that he wasn't enough for the angel. Freddie made his way into a cave a dropped down, sobbing.

Slowly, Freddie faded away, leaving just his bones and even these became rocks. But, his voice stayed.

Now, every time someone walks by, they can still hear it, answering them with their own words. Freddie still could never forget Roger. The beauty that broke his heart.

Meanwhile, another nymph had fallen for Roger. Roger had too, rejected her.

But, she was different. She didn't go and curl herself into a cave like Freddie had. She wished upon the gods and goddesses that Roger would too, fall for someone and it would not be returned.

The goddess of righteous anger, Nemesis, answered her. Nemesis agreed with the nymph.

So, one day, when Roger was getting a drink from a pool, he saw his reflection in the water and he immediately fell in love with it.

"My, are you a beauty." He watched in awe but was confused why they were repeating his actions.

"Come out. Please, I would love to meet you." He pleaded but nothing.

"Are you scared my angel. Don't worry, I'm not scary." He looked around but couldn't see anyone.

He decided that it was best to stay where he was because that was the only way he was going to be able to see his angel.

Days and days passed without eating. Roger was scared that if he left he wouldn't ever be able to see his angel.

He slowly started to get weaker and weaker until one day, he was no more.

The nymphs heard of his death and decided to retrieve his body for a rightful funeral, but when they went to the place he died, all they found was one single flower.

And yes, it was the most beautiful flower they had ever saw.

Okie dokie, this was the first story. Hope you liked it. This won't have an actual set in stone post day, I'll just post when I write it, which will probably be often considering this is a study guide for school. Bye loves.
