Title: Ariadne Wakes
Word Count:110
BONUS: Yes
Rating: G
Original/Fandom: Greek myth
Pairings (if any): Ariadne/Theseus.
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con/etc): none
Summary: Ariadne awakes alone and wishes she could dream.

Ariadne opened her eyes to meet the burning sun. Feeling great pain, she cast her gaze to other quarters of the brightening sky. Ariadne saw two white birds. Shadows clouding her vision forced her to look away again as one flew towards the sun.

She closed her eyes and hoped to dream. Instead she remembered. Ariadne played with Icarus in her airy, labyrinthine dancing ground. With her brother's birth it became a sealed, stifling, sunless prison.

Last night she aided in the slaughter of her beloved monstrous brother to win herself a visiting hero.

Ariadne stood. The white sail fell from her body. She finally found her fearful voice.

"Theseus?"
