Olympus December 21
It was the Winter Solstice and the Greek Pantheon was back together again. It had been two years since the defeat of the Titan Lord Cronus and all had been peaceful, things were quiet.
Most of the Minor gods now had cabins at Camp Half-blood and even Hades went and erected a small black house in the woods for Nico. Percy Jackson's wish was granted.
Apollo draped his arm around his sisters shoulders he had drank too much of D's wine his face was noticeable red "Arty Chu knows what you need . . . " Apollo Slurred
Artemis sighed and sat her brother down on his bed. Often she ignored Apollo all together however lately she felt more tolerant of her idiot of a twin "No Apollo however I am sure you will tell me what I need" she said sarcastically folding her arms her long fiery hair cascaded down past her shoulders "So Oh Wise Brother Apollo, do tell what does the goddess who has everything Need?"
Apollo looked at her he was starting to sober up however he was still a bit tipsy "You Sister needs a good lay " he said grinning. The Moon Goddess snorted "I will let that one slide brother because I feel generous today" she said ruffling the hair of her younger brother "I will see you later dear brother " and she left him.
- Olympian Throne room -
A large table with six chairs seated around it and in those six chairs sat the eldest Greek gods. Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter and Hestia. Each had two cards in front of them as well as stacks of coins all except Hestia that is who was acting as dealer. She smiled faintly to herself as she laid down a King of Diamonds, already she had laid down the Ace of Spades, Queen of Hearts and Ten of clubs.
The chip leader was Hades while Hera was next strongest then Poseidon, Demeter had lost a good portion of her coin to Hera last hand and was not pleased with her Little sisters dealing and Finally Zeus had lost all but five of his coins . . . certainly he would lose them if he didn't have a Jack and Ace.
The King of the gods had already loosened his tie, he hoped Hades didn't have a jack because he certainly didn't have one. Poseidon chuckled and tossed his cards to Hestia "fold" Hera did the same as did Demeter. Hades grinned as the river card was a duce of clubs "Well . . . Well brother let us see what the 'King' has" Hades chuckled revealing a jack and King of Clubs. Zeus sighed and showed his King of Hearts and nine of clubs.
Hades handed his cards to Hestia and he raked over his winnings "looks like all your luck went poof after you won Olympus Brother " said Hades
Zeus slammed his fist down on the table "Hades I've been wanting to throw you off my mountain since you got here " he growled getting up from his seat "don't tempt me to make my thoughts real " Hera sighed and got up "I'm cashing out and going to bed " she looked at her husband "if you play nice with your brothers ill let you join me in bed " the goddess walked out of the throne room a small smirk tugging at her lips. Demeter chuckled and cashed out as well bidding her sibling's goodnight, Hestia sighed "It was nice all of us together but . . . I should get back to the hearth" she mused.
" Looks like the game is at its end " the lord of the sea's said depositing his winnings into Percy's bank account. Hades gave a nod "indeed . . . well I guess I should be getting back to my Kingdom of pain and suffering" he got up and shook his brothers hands "until the summer solstice" he tapped his foot three times he slowly began to sink into the shadows
Once Hades was gone Poseidon looked at Zeus "Things have been peaceful, have they not?"
Zeus nodded slowly "yes things have been very good so good Hera lets me sleep with her again"
Poseidon snorted "ah yes what pretty little mortal will you use to screw up things with your Wife this time"
Zeus shrugged "Im not sure will this time" he said softly as he looked down on the city of New York.
"you faithful that'll be the day but I guess stranger things have happened" The sea god said walking up beside Zeus "I shall see you again in the spring brother"
The King smiled "Perhaps we will go fishing"
"Perhaps we shall farewell bother" Poseidon jumped over the ledge and fell to the earth in the form of rain
Zeus turned around and walked back into the throne room which was empty "what is a normal family anyway" he said to himself. He was unsure if he would retire to his own chambers or to Hera's for a nice roll in the sheets.
He conjured a glass of Irish whiskey and sipped it "I have to hand it to those Celts thy make a fine drinks" he sighed as he headed toward Heras Bedroom. By the time he was done with the whiskey he was at her door which he found was ajar he pushed it open and walked inside the chamber. The room was dark which was strange as Hera normally slept with an oil lamp burning
" Hera I've come to bed you my sweet " Zeus said with a grin though when no response to his words came he was for the second time in his LONG life worried "Hera you're a cow and the horrible in the sac" the grey-haired god said walking up to the large bed his wife called her own.
He lit the lamps with a small clap and he recoiled as he discovered Hera . . . she was a bloody mess. Her arms were where her legs should have been, and her soft hands were sewed to her legs and her hands to her arms. Her Face was frozen in Terror and it was severed from her torso which had been cut open her organs were removed.
Bile began to rise in his throat and he ran from the room. Whoever had done this to Hera knew how to kill a god. " Hermes " Zeus boomed once he was back in the throne room. A man in a brown UPS suit strolled in "yeah pops what can I do ya for" he said taking out a note book and clicking his pen so he could write down a message
Zeus gulped "Alert the rest of the Pantheon . . . Hera has been slain . . . her organs are gone . . . her body desecrated" his voice trembled "Shut off all access to Olympus . . . after you've sent out the word"
Hermes nodded gravely and dashed out to deliver bad news.
The king was without a queen.
Hera was Dead
