Itami
Hestia is the goddess of the hearth, in case you didn't know. Hestia, I've come for the annual meeting with my Father. He says to her, the small goddess smiles and nods, And how sweet it is that you come back to visit her every year, she says with a smile. Itami cringes a little when she says "she", hopefully Violet and Alex wouldn't pick up on why the goddess had said "she" instead of "he" when Hades was a male god. He tries to play it off, Mhm, anyway, can we go inside? He asks. Hesita nods and the golden double doors swing open. Upon going inside the 12 Olympians ring them in their respective thrones. Hades, of course, was not an Olympian, he normally lived in the Underworld and did not have a throne here. Instead he sat on a stool. The gods were in their human forms, all life size, not the massive giant forms they would have otherwise. The gods seemed to be arguing among themselves. The boy wants to see her, I come here so that he doesn't have to go down to the Underworld, where I remind you is a very dangerous place for demigods! It would help if you did not try to kill him every time he travels, brother. Hades says to Zeus. Zeus seems to be throwing one of his tantrums, I remind you that I only allowed this because I owed you a favor! I'm sure that by now, I do not need to uphold this ridiculous shenanigan! He bellows at Hades. Hera, Zeus' wife and voice of reason, puts a hand on his shoulder, [color=magenta]Now, now Zeus. Remember that a gods promise cannot be broken, unless you want a one way ticket to tartarus?[/color] She asks with a raised eyebrow. Zeus sighs and relaxes back into his throne. This time, Aphrodite speaks up, [color=pink]He clearly loved her, seeing her is the best we can do to ease his heartache. True love is everlasting after al- Here comes the boy now.[/color] She says, seeing Itami, Violet and Alex. Itami cringes a little more, a lot had been said in those few snippets. Information he didn't want Alex and Violet to know. Uhm, remember, top-secret, can't tell anyone. I would appreciate you not blurting everything out... He says quietly to the gods. Hades gets up and walks over to Itami. My son... And my daughter? He asks surprised, looking at Alex. Then he looks at Violet, This one is yours Artemis, he calls back to the goddess. Artemis looks at Violet but keeps a cool expression. I will speak with you in a bit Alex, Violet, feel free to talk to your Mother. Itami, follow. Itami follows after his father, exiting to the side. Leaving Alex and Violet to the 12 gods that stood before them, looking at them as if they were beneath themselves. Mortals they called them. |
