AN: Hey so I had a weird dream about this story so I told a friend of mine who convinced me to write it here and gave me some ideas I really do hope you enjoy this! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Heroes of Olympus. All rights go to Rick Riordan.
Chiron's tail swished nervously as he awaited the arrival of his divine visitor.
"You came." He called out when he saw her striding towards him in her infamous earthen robes. Gaea, Primordial of the Earth, smiled at him soothingly.
"But of course I did, a woman is only as good as her word and I always honour my promises, Chiron."
"Of course, my Lady." Chiron said, bowing. Gaea waved him to rise. "May I ask what is your proposal to stop the war?"
"What better way to unite our people than by marriage?" Gaea gave Chiron a wolfish grin. "How about a union between a princess from the gods' side, and a prince from my side?"
Chiron pondered over the idea for a minute with narrowed eyes. "You're asking me to force one of my pupils to marry?"
"Come now Chiron, that's the only option. Unless, one of the goddesses can take the place as a bride. But most of them are married, and I'm sure the virgin goddesses wouldn't like the idea of their freedom being taken away, now would they?"
Chiron felt helpless. What Gaea was saying was true. "And who would she marry? One of your ruthless Giants?" Chiron knew he was walking on thin ice, but the proposal could go very, very wrong.
Instead, Gaea smirked with a certain glint in her lush green eyes. "Oh I think you'll find my son, Orion, quite charming. Dear Thalia Grace will be very attracted to him."
Chiron's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. "Lady Artemis will not be pleased," he managed in a strained voice, "and neither will Lord Zeus. Can we not provide the prince, and you, a princess?"
"No. Do not for one moment think there is room for more bargain. If it were not for me, your precious demigods would already be slaughtered." Gaea said, with a dangerous edge to her voice, and a tone of finality.
Chiron had no choice but to quietly bow farewell, and agree to Gaea's term. Gaea smiled a poisonous smile, and vanished in a brilliant flash of white and gold.
Once she left, Chiron was left with the horrible task of figuring out to explain the situation to the gods, and more importantly, to the fierce lieutenant of Artemis/daughter of Zeus. At least, Chiron mused, having an unhappy marriage was better than a repeat of the horrible Giant War.
A.N: Sorry, but I have to say this. Chapters will not usually be so short. This was sort of like the prologue.
And this story will hopefully be updated weekly.
We we both would like to thank all those who decided to read our story.
