My Constellation

Apollo, the God of light, insulted Eros, the God of love. In revenge Eros took away Apollo’s first love, Daphne. Hundreds of years pass. Eros married a mortal woman named Psyche. Eros approaches Zeus and begs for him to turn Psyche into a God. Zeus grants Eros his request.
Eros and Psyche were playing in the forest when the sad and depressed Apollo walked by.
“Hi Apollo. How are you in this fine day?” asked Psyche.
“Great. Perfectly fine,” replied Apollo sarcastically.
Apollo continued to walk on with a look of longing on his face. When he was out of sight Psyche turned to Eros.
“Poor Apollo. He looks so sad,” said Psyche.
“That is what he deserves. Apollo insulted me, and so he will never have a true love,” vowed Eros.
“I think you have punished him enough. He has had several loves, but has never found a wife. Apollo has no one to share his life with,” insisted Psyche.
Eros asked, “Why are you so concerned about Apollo?”
“I think it’s sad, that a God like he should be alone for eternity,” Psyche said sadly. She continued, “I find such comfort having you in my life, through good times, and bad. I think a married God is a stronger God; happier too!”
Later that day, Eros walks to the water, and sits on the sand. He thinks about the conversation he had earlier in the say with Psyche. Eros realizes that she is right, as he as been much stronger since meeting her.
Eros goes to the bay where Daphne lives in the form of a tree. He approaches her father, Peneus. Eros talks to him and asks him to change his daughter back into human form. Peneus too wants his daughter back. He has always feared that his daughter would be alone, and unloved in life. Now that he knows there is someone waiting for Daphne, he agrees to turn her back into human form.
Eros and Peneus agree to change Daphne the following day. Eros goes to Apollo to convince him to come with him to the bay. They travel together back to the bay. At first, Apollo is unsure about what is going to happen. He sees Eros with a silver arrow. He remembers many years ago, that Eros used a lead arrow to shoot Daphne, causing her to despise love. He had been shot with a gold arrow, which made him fall in love with Daphne. Since she despised love, she ran away from him, leaving Apollo heartbroken.
“Apollo, I brought you here today to right a wrong. It is time to bring love back into your life,” states Eros.
As Eros picks up a silver arrow, he signals Peneus to reverse the spell on Daphne. As Daphne returns to a human form, Eros releases the arrow and shoots her in the heart with the silver arrow. Picking up the gold arrow, he waits until Daphne is looking at Apollo. When they see each other, Eros draws back quickly, and fires again at Daphne. The gold arrow has the same affect on Daphne as it did on Apollo; love at first sight.
Daphne and Apollo run toward each other, realizing their lives are meant to be together. Psyche, comes out free behind the trees, and congratulates the new couple. She turns to her husband and says, “Well done!”
Apollo goes up to Eros and says, “Thank you for letting me have a second chance. From this day forward, your bow and arrow shall be in the stars showing they are superior to mine.”
From that day on, you could see the gold arrow and trusty bow as a constellation on stars in the nighttime sky.
