The mysterious figure

LO: Can show what type of character my god is?

I glanced up from my loom and saw a dark figure stumbling through the crowd. ‘Excuse me, could you possibly move’ he kept saying in a soft trembled voice. His calloused hands, which were wrapped around his shaking stomach, were jet black. They were old and worn out they had been working hard I could tell. However his eyes were flinching at the smallest movements that the crowd made. They were like a never ending earthquake. The cowardly figure was getting on my nerves if he wanted to tell me something he should just step forward and talk to me. But I knew that he wouldn’t talk me unless I talked to him first. ‘You their’ I bellowed ‘just come and talk to me’ the figure trembled and stepped forward. ‘Well the thing is you have apparently gone against the gods, would it be ok if you possibly stopped?’ he asked in such an anxious voice. The figure had been sent from mount Olympus. He was a god, but he hardly acted like one.

 

 Which Greek deity has arrived to warn Arachne?

A mysterious figure……….

 

 

A MYSTERIOUS FIGURE

I was weaving well as usual, sitting on my stall, when I glanced up and darting through the crowd, I saw a mysterious figure. She was light on her feet and always looking around. Her dark eyes were scrunched up and constantly darting from side to side. In the strong wind her wild, wiry hair flowed. Her eyes brows were thin and low and the bones were showing on her cheeks. She was creeping low, like she was hiding from the crowd. Like a spring, she leapt out the way as a strong bold man was about to bump into her. Then she saw me. She crept closer and closer to me, she was so low down she was almost on the ground. “What are you doing?”She whispered.  “I’m w…w…w…w…wea…wea…weaving,” I replied nervously. “Yes, you are weaving. But what have you got that effects you and everyone?”She said. “I…I don’t know.” I said. “ You’ve got hubris, and you need to stop.”

You know that this is a god going to warn Arachne to stop having hubris, but which god? In your comments write which god you think it is.
