YEAH! This is my FIRST story and I'm so excited! Oh, and since The Star of Darkness is a long name you can just call me Kip or Star.
Okay, so I came back many years later and fixed the cringiness.

Zeus POV
Well the family decided, without me, to have a get together meal where everyone brought something.
Here is the list of what was brought.
Hades, something that looked suspiciously like road kill.
Demeter, (you probably guessed it) cereal.
Persephone brought a bowl of fruit.
Here is where it went horribly wrong!
Apollo brought stag sausage knowing full well that this is one of Artemis's sacred animals.
Artemis brought burgers made from sacred beef to make both Apollo and Hera angry.
Hera got mad and brought grilled goose (another one of Artemis's sacred animals) and steamed crane revenge for Hephaestus for being ugly.
Hephaestus was seething and brought fried jaguar, one of Dionysus's sacred animals.
Poseidon was already having a terrible day, so when he walked in to a room of complete chaos he got mad that he had to bring something and brought boiled owl.
Now this made Athena angry, so she plotted the perfect revenge! She brought dolphin as vengeance for Apollo because he started it (another one of his sacred animals.) and Poseidon for reasons you can easily guess.
Dionysus brought wine, but he got mad when he saw the fried jaguar.
And guess what! I figured out the road kill stuff that Hades brought was sweet, sweet revenge for me because it was eagle.
So I Zeus, brought a black ram because black animals are sacred to Hades, but I forgot that a ram is also one of Hermes sacred animals.
Hermes was boiling mad, but his revenge was going to be a prank or thievery. All of the sudden Aphrodite came into the room and then burst in to tears screaming, "Where's the love?" Then for no apparent reason Demeter chucked her bowl of soggy cereal at Ares as he was sitting down at the table, anticipating a good fight.
The flying bowl of cereal, thrown by Demeter, hit Ares in the eye, sloshing him with milk and soggy corn flakes (which is not, I repeat not a good sight for the stomach!) Aphrodite still bawling and screaming stormed out of the room and fist fights broke out all around me. I wanted to help Athena choke Poseidon or help my wife kick Hephaestus off the mountain, most of all I wanted to throttle Hades, but he was out of reach. So I did the next best thing.
"STOP!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
The room fell still. I waved my hand and the table repaired itself
"This is the first time in centuries that we all get to be together and you guys can't act civil for a simple meal," I made a tisking sound and I hoped I was doing the disapproving face correctly. Apparently I was, because all the gods look ashamed for their actions. Artemis dropped the chair leg she was beating Apollo with, and Athena stopped trying to stuff a whole dolphin down Poseidon's throat. Hera even helped Hephaestus up from the cliff he was dangling from. She did trip him on the way back to the table, but at least it's a start. And mortals complain about their families.
Please review and honestly tell me what you think!
