The Beginning of my Story

The Prophecy 📝

I grew up believing that Polybus, the king of Corinth and his wife Merone, were my biological parents. This was until the Oracle of Delphi told me a prophecy. The prophecy was that I would kill my father and eventually sleep with my own mother. I didn't quit believe what the Oracle of Delphi told me, but I didn't want to risk anything. I decided to leave the land of Corinth to avoid the prophecy. This way I felt safer and I knew i couldn't hurt my parents this way. Time passed, and throughout this time I had killed men and married my beautiful wife Jocasta. Jocasta and I both had four children. There was a plague going around my land. The plague wouldn't go away unless someone found out who killed the former king Laius. I asked around, and soon a messenger arrived and told me about the prophecy that King Laius was told. I immediately made a connection with both prophecy's that were told. This is how I eventually found out that I killed my own biological father King Laius and married my own mother Jocasta. I thought to myself that this was all insane, especially because I had left my land back in Corinth for this very reason. I didn't want to kill my father or marry my mother, but somehow it happened, and it didn't feel great at all. Part of me wished, I had stayed back home with my adopted parents.
