Pic1000: god of Thunder

avatar

Sophia was envied among her sisters, she was the only one whom the gods had given a gift. She could command thunder and this made her the most powerful woman in a time of war. As days went by, the envy among her sisters grew, they felt Sophia was taking all the glory and them not being recognized. They planned a conspiracy against her and it led to her banishment. They had assumed Sophia's absence would create a space for them to be noticed, not for the gift which they didn't have but their beauty which was astonishing.

The village of Ur started to face defeat in battles. All their treasures were looted and their valuables were ruined.

The people of Ur were made slaves, and were taken to a land where they were strangers. Sophia's sisters regretted their actions, they never got the admiration they sought for, and once became slaves soon after. Only in their exile did they know Sophia's gift was a blessing to them. They prayed day and night that someday Sophia will come for their rescue.

What I see and Feel about the picture

I see a young lady on an open field. She is seen commanding thunder from the sky and by this i believe she has power to call forth thunder from the heavens. The story above is inspired by the image and my thoughts about the same image.

Wow!! Envy will take us no where, God empowered us according to what we can handle, I believe even if we have nothing, we are not useless, we just haven't discovered our place yet.

Sophia's sisters thought they were getting rid of their problem not knowing they were inviting woe uno themselves and the entire kingdom at large

Envy with large green eyes is an evil which made Sophie's sister conspire against her to the extent of banishing her.
What goes around comes around because they thought doing away with Sophie would bring them fame and recognition but the opposite was the case and they suffered greatly for betraying their sister.

That's true, sometimes we don't know what harm we bring to ourselves by destroying someone

Reminds me of the story of the biblical Joseph and his brothers. Later Joseph was their savior in a time of drought.

I believe their sister will come and rescue them.

Why envy your own sister? Her glory shines for all. Now they are being held captive, I hope they have learnt their lessons.

Envy of one another has plunged the world into what we have become today.

Your story reminds me of the old adage "you don't miss your water until the well runs dry." Little good did beauty do Sophia's sisters before and during the time they were taken slaves. Banishing someone from the family or community out of envy only is never a good thing. It always comes back to bite you. I feel that Sophia could have helped save her village from pillagers with her gift.

What her sisters failed to realized is that we all have gifts of some kind. Drawing from each other's gifts help society as a whole.

Thanks for sharing your story. Nicely done. Take care.

Instead of praying and waiting they can escape. That will put them in the spotlight!

With such a gift it's not a miracle without it is.

Thank you for joining. 👍
