Cassandra

My name is Cassandra, and you probably don’t believe that either.

Apollo cursed me to know the future and always be thought a liar. I predicted the fall of my city, and my own murder. I was laughed at.

As I died, alone, my soul walked to Olympus, where I found Apollo on his golden chariot.

“You will be forgotten,” I said. “Your believers will dwindle, your power will fade, and you will be nothing but a voice on the wind. People will sell trinkets where your temples once stood.”

He laughed at me, too. “That will never happen.”

Heh.
