OLYMPIAN FAIRY TALES
Disclaimer: Okay, guys. So I just thought of this because I came across a fairy tale book that belonged to me when I was like two or something. It's along the lines of that new "Family Guy" episode where Peter's telling Stewie some bedtime stories about fairy tales and stuff…
Anyway, hope you like! As always, reviews are welcome!
Oh, yeah, and for the sake of this story, let's just say that the demigods live with their parents. And they're all the same age. AND I have brought all the dead people back to life! MWAHAHAHA!
PROLOGUE
It was eight-thirty on Mount Olympus. There was the nightlife, but the Olympians were busy putting their children to bed.
In a huge palace were a family of two. Zeus was the head of the household, and three-year-old Thalia was running around playing with her dress-up clothes.
"Are you done playing, honey?" asked Zeus. "It's almost time for your bath."
Thalia pouted. "No, daddy! No bath time! I go play in my room!"
Zeus picked his daughter up and carried her into the bathroom, where he set her in the warm water and let her play with the bubbles while he washed her hair.
"But, Thalia, Daddy needs to get you ready for bedtime, or the surprise won't happen."
Thalia stopped giving herself a bubble beard and stared up at her father. "A surpwise?"
"Yes, sweetheart. Daddy's got a big surprise for his little girl." Zeus beamed down at his daughter as she made a bubble beard again and slapped at the water. "Hey, no splashing," Zeus scolded as he dried Thalia off. "Now, which pajamas would you like: your black ones or the cloud ones?"
"Cloud ones, daddy!"
"All right! Clouds it is!"
Zeus put Thalia in some footy pajamas and tucked her into bed. As he was going out of the room, Thalia sat up quickly.
"What, honey?"
"Daddy! You forgotted the surpwise!"
"That's right! I did!" Zeus sat on the edge of Thalia's bed and stroked his daughter's black hair. "Well, Thalia, remember that book that I got you for your birthday?"
Thalia nodded.
"Well, we're going to give that book to someone else. Daddy's got more stories where that came from."
"Like what?"
"Oh, there's 'The Three Little Gods,' 'Artemis and Apollo,' and 'The Goddess and the Rock.'"
"Well, they sound fun, daddy." Thalia yawned widely.
"Well, honey, we don't have to learn them tonight," Zeus said. "Maybe I'll just—"
"No!" Thalia moaned into her pillow. "Tell 'em now, daddy!"
"All right, honey. Which one would you like to hear?"
"'The Three Little Gods,'" Thalia replied sleepily.
"All right," said Zeus, stroking Thalia's hair some more. He put on a thoughtful face, like he was trying to make up the tale, but couldn't figure out how to do it.
Okay. I know it's kind of short. Chapter 1 is coming up next. You guys know some other good fairy tales? I have a boatload of them, but can't think of what to call them!
