Reply to comment by Lionessia76 in [WP] All your life, mythological beings have tried to pick you up. Childhood? Forced adoption. Teenagehood/Adulthood? Marriage. For example, selkies purposefully left their skins where you'd find them; banshees serenade you outside every night. Now at 30, you've learned why you attract them all... by MidgardWyrm

If you like this, you might like a short story by an author I love. It's one of the stories in "Tortall and Other Lands" by Tamora Pierce. It's called The Hidden Girl.
You don't need to have read any of her books to be able to read it, just know that it's set in a fantasy land.
It's about a young woman and her father who travel as wandering priests in an Islamic (I think) type country. Except they teach the whole thing, not just the parts that suit the people(men) in power. The God/dess in question reaches out to the girl to become their herald in an interesting way and I really like it
Anyway, I highly recommend all her books, but this short story made me think of that book. Might go reread that now
