Prologue

"For the fairest?"

Eris was laughing while Aphrodite, the most vain of all the goddess in Olympus (since being the goddess of beauty and love) Hera, the most powerful goddess of them all (since she is the wife of the mighty god, Zeus) and Athena, the smartest yet the fiercest goddess in the kingdom (and the favorite daughter of Zeus) are offering Paris the power, wealth, wisdom and beauty just to prove that they are the most fairest in the entire kingdom of Olympus.

"I will offer you the power and wealth that no one else can give you." Says Hera.

"I will offer you the wisdom that no one else can give you." Says Athena.

"I will offer you nothing but the most beautiful woman in the whole world." Says Aphrodite.

Paris, being just like any man in the world, chooses the offer of Aphrodite. Well, who is it to blame? The offers of the goddesses are very tempting but if you're a man, and you have needs and lusts? You will definitely choose the offer of the goddess of love and beauty, why? Simply because you can have the power, the wisdom and wealth in any kind of way, But, but having the most beautiful woman beside you is another thing.

"Well, guess I'm really the most fairest in the entire Olympus" Aphrodite said while smirking.

And that started the war, Aphrodite get Helen and give her to Paris as his prize (or bribe) by choosing her to have the golden apple that Eris threw. Helen chooses to be with Paris and left her husband and as what they say the rest is history.

After defeating Ares in the war, Zeus and the other Olympians celebrated their victory, but during the banquet, Artemis the goddess of hunt noticed that someone is missing.

"Hermes, Where is my brother?"

"Why? Is Apollo not there?'

"Obviously, that's why I'm asking." Artemis frowned.

"Oh, come on' Artie, your brother must be there somewhere with a girl. Ha-ha."

"Funny, Hermes…Very Funny." Artemis said and left.

Hermes followed her and join the other Gods celebrate their victory.

"Eris, don't be like that." Apollo said while looking at Eris who is already crying.

"Don't be like what? Like a crying baby? Like a fool? Like What Apollo?!" Eris shouted.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Apollo walked near her and hugged her tight.

"I'm sorry too, I didn't mean to say those words Apollo and I know that our relationship must be kept as a secret, I don't want you to feel that I want to expose us, I'm…I'm just scared that Zeus or someone might force you to marry another woman…I'm…scared."

Eris has been known as one of the scariest and terrifying goddess in Olympus other than Hera, and of course…Hades. She is famous for her frightening temper and cold heart, but when it comes to Apollo, she is so vulnerable. Just like a common woman who is head over heels in love with her boyfriend, Eris is willing to do anything for Apollo to the point that she is willing to keep their relationship as secret for the two of them to protect Apollo's image and dignity. Their relationship started right after Eris thrown the golden apple and started the war. Apollo confronted Eris about her childish acts and warned her to stop since her wrongdoings doesn't do anything good for her; Eris was surprised about Apollo since it is the very first time that someone, especially one of the Olympians, approached her and told her that she is more than what she is doing and she can be good instead of the rumors and things that everyone mocked her to be. Eris heart slowly softened by Apollo's goodness, and finally told him that she is willing to change as long as Apollo will become her friend (the only friend she might have) and adviser about what being good really is. Apollo accepted her offer and after some times, Apollo courted her (secretly) and that is when they decided to have a special relationship that is a secret to everyone.

"It's time for me to go; surely they've been looking for me at the banquet." Apollo said to Eris, while kissing her forehead.

"Can you stay just for a minute?" Eris begged and tightens her embraced to Apollo.

"As much as I want to stay here, I really have to go. I don't want them to think that I'm doing something that they don't know. I don't want them to be suspicious."

"Fine"

"Eris…"

"I said you can go." Eris withdrew her hand and looked away.

Apollo sighed and looks at the girl in front of her whose eyes are already wet in tears.

"I'll stay with you tonight, I promise."

Eris's tears turned into smile and kissed the handsome man in front of her.

"I'll be waiting. I love you."

"I love you too."

Apollo smiled and then left her once again.
