Maia

You are hiking in the peaks of Mount Kyllene. As the sun begins to set, you realize that you have become disoriented. You aren’t sure how to get back down the mountain. In the dark, trail blazing could be deadly. You find a cave and decide to stay the night. Luckily the temperature is not too low and you sit at the mouth of the cave admiring the gorgeous night sky. You see a shooting star and notice movement in your peripheral view. You turn your head and see a cluster of stars form a woman.

Intro Maia is the eldest of the Pleiades, the seven nymphs of the constellation Pleiades. She is a shy goddess of Greek Mythology who dwells alone in a cave near the peaks of Mount Kyllene in Arkadia. Long ago she secretly gave birth to the god Hermes, her son by Zeus. She also raised an orphaned boy named Arcas. She is motherly and nurturing. She cares for the young and helps the lost. She will sometimes appear in the form of a dove but is more likely to reveal herself as a woman made of starlight.
