This is going to be a series of drabbles featuring Horus and Athena basically falling in love with each other throughout history. Horus is head of heels with her at first sight while Athena's love for him has to grow a bit. Not to mention they are fighters not lovers. I personally think this would be cute. apart from this one and the next one, each of the drabbles will be revolved around a historical event, and the gods role in it. They will happen before, during, or after the event. They are also short, as they are drabble. feel free to take the idea of HorusxAthena, just give me some credit.

Horus was seriously screwed. It all started when Anubis visited him in his practice room and it still continues today.

500 B.C.

"Hey bird brain." Anubis greeted him. Both were in their strangely favored form, Anubis with the head of a jackal and Horus with the head of a falcon. They were cousins, and got along well, though they had a tendency to insult each other. Horus ironically took an older form at 25 rather than sixteen, even though Anubis was older and acted more mature. It was probably because Horus felt older after spending the millennia with mortals.

Horus looked up from the shards of shabti he was practicing dueling with. "Speak of the devil," he replied with a grin. "So what brings the almighty god of mummies over to his highness training room?"

"Your mom wanted me to deliver a message. New gods are visiting from what is going to be Greece. One of them, the newest, takes a form around your age, with the name of Athena." Anubis replied smoothly. "They prefer humane forms, so neither of us can go around like this."

"New gods, huh," Horus said thinking. "Have you met them yet?" he asked.

"Only one, Hades. He is the ruler of the Underworld over there." Anubis shivered. "And he is creepier than our fathers. Also pretty lonely, too. He seemed to be nicer once I and Osiris visited. He seemed, more… solid than us. Isis said that like us they can be in many places at once but there was a more grounded power. They don't live in the Duat; instead most of them live either on earth or above earth."

"In nut?" Horus asked surprised.

"No, they have other sky deities there. Our control does not have its reach there, especially as our power wanes."

Horus grimaced. There were more battles now as Egypt fought to keep the land they owned for centuries.

"Anyway, Isis recommends you make alliances with at least the younger gods. Their humans are supposedly going to make a big impact after all…"

"Fine. When they do they come?"

"In about an hour." He replied. "Get changed into formal clothes." Horus groaned. He much preferred his armor. Anubis smirked and added "One more thing, Athena, -the one who Isis wants you to show around- is the Goddess of wisdom and battle strategy."

Athena is a woman?

In about an hour Horus was ready. He was wearing typical linen, but his outfit also surmised of a gilded collar around his neck, a dyed sash around his waist and of course the Pharaoh's crown. His eyes were lined with kohl in a way that they mimicked a falcon's.

Now to the average ancient Egyptian he would have looked very regal and calm. And he was. Truth to be told, Horus never took an interest in women. Most of the Goddesses he regarded as friends, nothing more.

Isis strolled into the throne room where they were hosting a small diner. She had her wings flowing behind her and was decorated with much more jewelry than him. She could have doubled as a queen with all that gold.

The shabtis opened the doors to find one of the smallest families of gods, at least in Horus's opinion. As their family was so young, it would take decades for the Greeks to gain all their members.

In the front was a regal couple, but not in the same dress as Horus was in. The male was wearing a long beard, and wore a dark blue tunic. Horus guessed it was warmer there. His eyes were the color of lightning. There was something that reminded him of his own father, Osiris. The woman was wearing a light blue tunic, with a golden girdle and a silver necklace. Silver was incredibly rare in Egypt, and was more valuable than gold. Her sharp eyes, -while a warn brown instead of gold- could have been a twin expression to his mothers.

"Isis." The woman regarded his mother.

"Hera and Zeus." Isis replied with the same amount of respect.

Zeus cleared his throat and looked at Horus. "So I believe you are the one in charge, Horus. You look quite young."

Horus replied calmly. "I am thousands of years old, sir. I just prefer to look young."

"Anyway, this young woman is my first daughter Athena, and my second child." Zeus stepped to the side to reveal her.

In front of him was the most beautiful woman, at least in Horus's mind. He swears his hear skipped a beat. She was wearing a green ( accurately olive green) tunic with a cloak behind her back. On her arm was a silver bracelet. She looked sturdy and strong, clearly built for battle. Her eyes were a stormy grey, and were as regal as Horus's. Unlike him she wasn't wearing any make-up, but her lighter skin looked flawless. Her black hair was tied backwards, to keep her hair out of her face.

"Woah," he said breathlessly. Now he understood what true love at first sight was. He walked forward and took her hand and kissed it. "My name is Horus. Do you want me to take you on a tour?"

so, what did you think? like? dislike? just comment on it, and if you have any ideas, post them here.

Also, sorry for not updating More Heroes (yay), this idea came along and I just had to write it. but don't worry, the next chapter is already under construction. This is more for fun, my main focus is that story.
