marshmallows

by no name to speak of

Just one time. I wanted that they would be a family for one last time. It seems my wish can't come true. I look at them all of them are arguing. They don't notice what is happening to me. While everyone is fighting they don't notice that this very well may be the last time that they see someone.

1. Chapter 1

I don't PJO or HoO

Line break

I look around the room. All the Olympians, Hades, the Seven, Nico, Thalia and Reyna were there. The reward ceremony was just finished and as usual all the gods were in an argument. Scratch that, EVERYONE was in an argument.

Athena and Poseidon were bickering about Athens again. Zeus and Hades were arguing about who was loved most by mother, while Hera was scolding Zeus. Aphrodite was trying to bully Artemis. Jason, Percy and Thalia were fighting again etc.

I sighed. Couldn't they just sit together like a family and be happy, without the constant bickering. I was getting quite sick of it and that says something.

I was just about to try and stop the fights when I felt it again. It was a feeling, it was actually a quite calming feeling. It felt like I could leave everything behind. My power was slowly slipping through my fingers. I knew what would be happening.

I looked at the hearth. The fire was still big, but it lost something. Something important. I looked at my arm and saw that it was a little bit transparent.

I heard a crash, when I looked around I saw that the fights were getting bigger. This wasn't how I wanted it to end. Why couldn't I see my family as a family for one last time.

I felt myself getting weaker by the second. With the last of my powers I summoned something. One last try for my family.

Before me lay some sticks and a pack of marshmallows. I tried: 'Why don't we all calm down and just eat some marshmallows at the hearth.' My plea wasn't heard or just ignored.

Wait, someone did look at me. He slowly walked to me. In front of me stood a child in black clothes with black hair. 'Marshmallows?' asked Nico. I smiled at him. 'Yes, do you want one?'

'Of course, but Hestia aren't you a little pale?' I gave him a sad smile and gave him a stick with a marshmallow on it. I returned to my seat in front of the fire. Nico sat next to me.

No words were needed anymore. I began to become more transparent. I looked at Nico and said my last wish. 'Nico, will you try for me, to let them at least one time sit next to the hearth as a family' Nico's face was spilled with tears. 'Of course.' His voice cracked and I smiled for one last time.
