A/N: This story is about Hera and Amphitrite, how they struggled the years in their marriage with their husbands.
Hera I
It was always like this, every day for the last 3000 years of her Immortal life. It had been a millenia and she was still known as the bad, arrogant and cruel ruthless queen of olympus. Every day all she hears were the soft mumbling and whispers of others whenever she would walk down the hallways and whenever she would turn her gaze to those nymphs that gossiped about her would run and scurry away in fear of her wrath.
But that wasn't her problem, no it wasn't because she was already used to others gossiping about how scary she was. She didn't mind them, all her problems and headaches was caused by her husband, Zeus, the almighty King of Olympus.
Ever since her selfish of a husband started his infidelities and sired many half bloods over the past thousands of years it fueled her rage and she would try to do whatever it takes to try to harm or even kill every demigod that her husband had conceived with a mortal. Because of this she was viewed as cold and ruthless, a monster. He turned her into something she didn't like, he turned her into a goddess with a terrible wrath.
Many Deities and Mortals would view her as the evil queen, like a villan in most fairytale stories. But she was not like that, she was never like that, they didnt know her other side. Behind that icy cold glare and terrible rage of anger was a lonely queen, a goddess with a sad and tragic past. She used to be a lively person, she would offer help to anyone and would kindly grant wishes, she was a happy goddess and many would fight for her hand in marriage even mortals.
Sadly, she got tricked by her very own husband who forced her into marriage with him , the one who defiled her and took the most precious thing she had. After their marriage, for the first three hundred years he was loving and he cared for her, she started falling for him deeply then and she was happy with him even more so when she conceived their children. She was filled with joy, she thought that maybe he was the one for her the one who will love her for eternity and she just ignored the fact that he forced her to marry him. She thought that she could be happy and she didn't regret the day he and her were married.
But that all changed after three hundred years, those happy loving times she had received from him were changed into a cold and distant relationship. They weren't happy anymore, when she first discovered his infidelity she cried and confronted him and he whispered loving words into her ear, telling her that it would not happen again. She believed him, she trusted his words but he broke it again and she was heartbroken, it repeated until she got mad and became enraged. Her lovely smiles and laughter were changed into frowns and scowls, she started harming each and every demigods that he had sired with mortal women.
It continued on, repeating itself and she grew tired. Until world war II that she had hear her husband declaring and swearing upon the river styx to never ever sire another child ever again, she was happy and pleased when her husband made the oath.
That is until another mortal had attracted her husband, her name was Beryl Grace. A young uprising starlet with big poofy eighty's hair, she was beautiful. And with her, her husband had sired the demigods Thalia Grace through his greek form and Jason Grace through his roman form.
She was angry yet again, her husband had broke yet another one of his promises. That day she had thrown a tantrum and had a big argument with her husband who ignored her and left the room to let her yell all she wants, but after he left she had broken down in tears. Her heart was completely shattered, broken to pieces. No one heard her pleas and cries, no one did and if they did they would just ignore her.
Hera sighed, looking at her reflection in the mirror of her beautiful dresser. She takes off every piece of jewelry she had on and puts them away in her jewelry box. Her husband was not yet present and has not come home to their palace in awhile, she notices everyday but she didn't care anymore she doesn't have the time or energy to waste on even being angry anymore, she was still mad but she learned to calm herself down and control her temper.
She took off her crown last and looked at it, seeing her emerald eyes reflect on it her eyes that used to sparkle in magnificence but now became dull and tired. Hera sets down her crown and looked outside the window, staring out the kingdom of Olympus the kingdom which she and her husband ruled happily in the past which is known no more for there is nothing but hatred and sadness.
It was unfair that Zeus had the fun in roaming the mortal world while she was stuck arranging problems and maintaining peace in Olympus while he was going around hooking up with some whore he finds.
She remembers how Aphrodite told her about how fun the mortal world was and how interesting it was, telling her that she should have a visit once in a while since work in Olympus had been stressing her. Hera's mind had an idea, that was it. She should take a visit in the mortal world for once, it wouldn't be bad after all other deities especially her husband would come down there once in awhile.
She smiles, it would be great that she would leave this dull place for once. Hera grinned widely and decided that she will leave right away, no one would even notice her leaving. She looked at herself, she was still wearing her royal robes but it didn't matter because she could use her abilities to disguise herself as a normal mortal being.
Looking back at her room she smiled gently and left immediately leaving her wedding ring behind.
