OWL by Antigone
For what does the OWL want? Quote the Raven.
"I can see into many things using the Virgin Line," echoed Hestia, goddess of Virginity.
"But to perhaps some reason, I cannot see into YOU, dear Vestal Virgin named Shelina Denise Chapman, after this

This is a Western Muslim belief; HER beliefs are strictly Christian.
But if all else knows, all else wields. I named my virgin line after the independent state, The Virginian State Commonwealth. I traveled back and forth through memories of the Virginian registry as it gave birth to itself back on June 25th, 1788. Here it is 2023, and I meet the Virginian seal goddess Hestkal, a woman I call Hestia or Virginia, alien to the one I spoke of before, with a giant, brown teddy bear holding it close as she celebrates my virginity's birthday.
It was later that the goddess Hestia came to me wondering to know why the Creator came my way. Hooks! I guess I'd be wondering to...
