Nereus’s Daughter
One day a pretty forest nymph, who soundlessly slumbered in her woods, awoke to find a disheveled ape hovering above her. Sweating. Grunting. Drooling. About to dock between her meaty, leggy things.
The nymph screamed and clawed at the god’s eyes, shouting at Priapus to stop or else she “would tell her father.”
In response, Priapus merely hit the ground beside her head with a curled up fist, hooting in laughter.
Nereus’s daughter saw no other option but to ask a kinder god than Priapus for assistance. Not twenty seconds after, the nymph turned into a flowering pink lotus tree.
