There are cries of a newborn heard by all of those a 15 mile radius of Aeolos's, the god of air, cave and the sound was wonderful to his ears.
"It's a boy." Artemis, goddess of the hunt, says as she holds the infant.
"Is he healthy?" asked his mother, the goddess of peace, Eirene.
"Very."
"Let me see my boy." Aeolos chortled; Artemis laughed and handed the baby to Aeolos.
"Look at him," Aeolos kneeled down to Eirene's bedside. "He has your eyes, Eirene."
"With a hint of honey brown in them" Eirene commented.
Aeolos chuckled "Grey with a hint of honey."
Artemis grinned and decided to take her leave; the young couple probably thought she had left long ago.
"Congratulations." She whispered before disappearing.
Everything was perfect; Aeolos and Eirene were graced by a beautiful baby boy and were playing with him until…
"Ah, my son." A booming voice thundered.
Aeolos and Eirene looked around confused as the cave began to shake. A figure appeared in the form of the all-powerful…
"Zeus" Eirene gasped.
"What are you doing here?" Eirene questioned, her eyes narrowing.
"I'm here to see my son."
"You're son?!" both yelled.
"Yes."
"You're lying; I have never been unfaithful to my husband."
Zeus laughed "You didn't have to be. You could have been thinking of me and…"
"I suggest you don't finish that sentence unless you want to keep your privileges of having children." Aeolos snarled.
"And I suggest you take that back." Zeus bellowed
As the two gods argued, Eirene secretly called for Athena, the goddess of wisdom, to help resolve this. She had no doubt that her child was not Zeus's, but she was not sure of Aeolos's judgment as of yet.
Athena appears suddenly silencing the gods arguing.
"Athena," gulped Zeus "What are you doing here, my dear child?"
"Eirene has asked me for my wisdom to resolve this conflict."
"Father," Athena began, "You are jealous of Eirene's and Aeolos's good fortune. You know this child is going to grow up to be great and strong, more so than yourself, so you want to claim him as your own to bring up in your own image. You probably would have gotten away with it, if it were other gods, but neither Eirene nor Aeolos has been unfaithful."
Zeus's eyes widened, Aeolos smirked, and the baby gurgled.
All three gods and goddess stared at him anticipatingly, waiting.
"Okay!" His booming voice thundered, "I was jealous and I apologize, but I still believe he should be raised in my image."
"What!" The wind howled angrily along with Aeolos's scream.
Zeus spoke calmly, "If he is going to be as powerful as me, I might as well train the boy."
Before another argument could break out again, Athena spoke.
"My suggestion is that we make him a child of the gods." The others looked at her confused.
"I mean all of the other gods and goddesses have a little bit of their power in him and make him a child of the gods, though he would still be biologically be linked with Aeolos and Eirene."
"How does that sound Aeolos?" Eirene asked her husband
"I'll go along with it if you're willing to."
"Father, is this alright with you?" Athena asked Zeus
"Yes."
"Great, I'll get the other gods."
"I give him the gift of the love animals." said Artemis
"I give him the gift of prophecy and wisdom." said Athena
"I give him the gift of knowing his true love." said Aphrodite
"I give him the gift of a happy marriage, a happy home, and a happy and fruitful life." said Hera
God after god, goddess after goddess the child was slowly but surely becoming the child of the gods, until they was only one goddess left…
Eirene inhaled sharply, "Eris."
Eris grinned wolfishly, "I think it's time to present my gift."
Eris smiled sweetly at the child and said "I give him the gift of mischievousness."
Eirene was surprised, to say the least, "That was actually wasn't bad Eris; I thought you would give him a worst gift than that considering you despise every fiber of my being."
"I hate your powers, not you. Plus I have bigger plan in the works" whispered Eris as she disappeared into dust.
Eirene and Aeolos looked lovingly at their child, and then Eirene giggled.
"I just realized we still haven't named him."
Upon hearing this, all the other gods and goddesses offered names, all were great, but a name whispered in her ears that she liked most of all.
"I know what I want to name him." Eirene spoke above the clamor
They started to whisper and asking 'what is it?' over and over again.
"Aang, the child of the gods."
Two days later, there are cries heard by all of the creatures known and unknown to the depths of the sea.
"It's a girl!" Artemis shouts as she hands the babe to Amphitrite, goddess of the seas.
"My little girl."
"Don't you mean our little girl?" Poseidon asked slyly.
Amphitrite giggled, "Yes, our little girl."
Poseidon chuckled, "I want to share this with the whole world!"
"And you will." said Eirene
"Eirene, hello! Come, come, meet my-"
Poseidon clears his throat.
"I mean our daughter."
"She's beautiful." Eirene complimented
"Just like your son. Speaking of… where is he and his father?"
"Right here, I was changing him."
Amphitrite laughed, "God or no god, they are still kids."
"Um, that is why we are here."
"We want Aang to have a normal life and to be a kid; he can only have that on Earth." explained Eirene
"That make sense." Poseidon pondered
"So we were wondering if you would do the same with… uh…. You know we never quite caught her name." Aeolos chuckled
"Oh, Poseidon and I are naming her Katara, and as of the matter of placing my child among mortals to live a normal life? I would love nothing less for her. That is if Poseidon agrees with me."
"I would need more information."
"It would only be until their seventeenth birthday, where we would bring them back so they can train in Athena's school, to be better Gods." said Eirene
After a few long moments of silence,
"I agree."
Everyone drew a sigh of relief.
Amphitrite looked at the newborn in her arms and kisses the top of her forehead.
"Katara, child of the seas."
And that's my story hope you like it.
