The Athenian Cleric (and the Golden Bridle)
The Athenian Cleric
(And the Golden Bridle)
The Hidden life of Professor Lowell McWilliams’ Wife
End Part to the story “Black Bubble” (Part Three)
Professor Lowell McWilliams’ wife Shauna was a strange bird, and Lowell knew it but as his personality would have it, he paid little attention to it until of course his trip into the Yukon, and back. But before all this the question comes up, where did she get her magic, and what kind was it, and where did she come from. So many mysteries in the life of Lowell’s wife, he never paid much attention to it as I have already mentioned, but I will now share this with you, thus, if you care to reread the story, “The Black Bubble,” written in 2005, you may have a better handle on things.
It wall started out with her life long ago, with Athena, the Greek Goddess. Shauna’s real name was Shamhat, when in a small village in the high ground near Thessaloniki, she learned the art of magic, Athenian Magic, and she changed her name, once she became a cleric of the order, to Arachne. She became a worshiper of Athena, and became a cleric of the LG, the highest form, and valued her wit and wisdom, her shrewdness over brawns. She was a shinning example to all who belonged to her sect, and learned Divine Magic (she became SPEAR to the 7th Level; she could cast a spear a thousand miles, so the villagers had said, and had proficiency in other weapons). In all major spheres she was excellent: to include: animal, astral, charm, combat, creation, divination, divination, guardian, healing, necromantic, protection, summoning, sun and weather; and, elemental and planets.
Furthermore, she knew the entire book of spells by heart: Anti Fear, Spiritual Hammer, prayer, and detection of lies, question and answering choice, heal spells, Succor (bringing one to safety).
She was of such a high quality, Athena herself appeared, and said she’d grant her any wish she desired.
She asked, knowing she was one of the few and gifted Athenian Clerics, to ride Poseidon’s horse, and with his golden bridle. Athena asked Poseidon for permission and because he wanted to keep his name in the minds of the dwellers of the land, as to not just the sea faring people, he agreed, plus it was a special favor for Athena, and the wish was granted.
Well, this young and beautiful Cleric took it upon herself to steal the golden bridle, and for some odd reason, no magic from Athena or Poseidon could uncover it. Athena liked her worshiper, but she would not return it the item she took, thus she stripped her of her honors, and humiliated her to the village people, and cast her off in despair to the world outside of Greece, never to return, that she could although pick another time in history she would like, and thus, she chose the 19th century.
And so good readers, this was the background of Arachne (or as we know her as: Shauna) McWilliams, whom now is the wife of Professor Lowell McWilliams, whom took that great adventure into the Yukon not so long ago, in 1897.
