Sinbad awoke to find himself on the deck on the Chimera and had a bunch of worried faces looking down at him, but the one face that he was most interested in was Eris', she looked paler than usual and she also looked close to tears. Sinbad's first instinct was to help her but with the crew watching it wouldn't do well for them to see their captain so vulnerable, it could, no would ruin his image. Next to Eris Sinbad noticed that Kale with no judgement in his eyes was offering him a hand up. Taking the offered hand gratefully Sinbad was hauled to his feet and immediately looked once again to Eris.

"How is this possible?" Sinbad asked her confusion evident in his voice.

Eris immediately scowled at him and answered back fiercely. "How do you think it happened Sinbad? Did your mother never teach you about the birds and the bees?"

"What do birds and insects have to do with you being pregnant...oh."

"Yea oh, is that all you can say? You fucking knocked me up you stupid bastard, now a better question is how are you going to get me out of this?"

"Eris, what are you talking about? Get you out of what?"

"My mother, Hera, knows and she told my father, Zeus! And now they are both telling all of Olympus that I'm pregnant! Thank the fates they don't know that it was you." Eris sighed and ran her fingers through her hair as she looked expectantly at Sinbad for a response.

"What do your parents have to do with anything Eris, this is between me and you no one else!" Sinbad proclaimed.

At this Eris burst out laughing her voice tinkling like bells.

"That is the funniest thing that I have ever heard Sinbad what did you truly think that they would just leave us alone to figure this out ourselves no. They will probably kill you and lock me up with the Titans for having done something this foolish."

Sinbad gulped and rubbed his neck at this.

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Pray Sinbad, pray that they don't find out that you are a mortal."

"What does me being a mortal have to do with anything?" Asked Sinbad genuinely confused.

"There was a proclamation that no mortal must know Olympus' secrets." At Sinbad's confused look Eris elaborated. "No mortal may become a god."

"I don't understand Eris." Sinbad said growing more confused by the minute.

"The easiest way for my parents to solve this problem would be to force us into marriage."

"M-m-marriage?"

"Yes marriage, from their point of view it is the simplest way to fix this problem, and by now they have probably realised that you are most likely to be the father and are going to snatch you up to Olympus and interrogate you."

"When can I expect this?" Sinbad asked, now fearful.

"Anytime and anywhere."

And just as Eris predicted there was a flash of golden light and Sinbad disappeared from the Chimera and reappeared on Mount Olympus.

Sighing Eris quickly followed him, determined to protect Sinbad from the wrath of Olympus, leaving a confused crew in her wake.

When Eris reappeared on Mount Olympus she was not so surprised that her father had already started the questioning with a rather embarrassing topic...love.

"Are you in love with my daughter?" Zeus boomed as he gazed down superiorly at the mortal before him.

Sinbad was shaking he was that intimidated, this was Zeus, Zeus, the all powerful king of the gods who could squash him like a fly if he wanted to. He doubted that Eris would approve but well since when would a single woman's opinion matter to a being such as Zeus.

"No, sir." Sinbad said in a small voice, figuring it wouldn't hurt to lay it on thick for him.

"Well then, what are your intentions towards her?" Zeus asked Sinbad once again, looking down at the mortal before him, clearly not impressed with his daughter's choice in men.

"I had none sir, it was a surprise to me and to be fair she was offering. What I mean is have you seen her, she's stunning how could any man reject her?"

Zeus laughed at this his voice booming across the heavens.

That was when Eris appeared next to Sinbad, and took his hand and reassuringly smiled at him. She spoke into his mind telling him to not be afraid as that would only increase his chances of getting killed.

"Gee thanks." Sinbad responded out loud which seemed to snap Zeus out of his laughter as he turned to his wife and said.

"This one amuses me Hera."

Hera, in turn gave Sinbad a probing look and studied how he spoke to her daughter, there was a degree of tenderness, potential for love, and a closeness that spoke of that he was definitely the one Eris had been so captivated with and that left no doubt in the goddess of marriage's mind that he would be the first mortal made into a god.

Zeus looked to his wife and asked her if she approved. Hera turned her attention to her husband and gave him a scathing look.

"I do not approve dear husband for this mortal seems to be nothing more than a scallywag and an average one at that he has no plans for the future and has no means to provide for our daughter...but she does seem to genuinely care for him and it is about time that our little Eris was happy."

Zeus nodded wearily and said "Very well," Raising his voice so that the assembled gods and goddesses could hear Zeus added "Be prepared everyone for there is for the first time in our histories a mortal shall be made into a god."

Eris squealed and hugged Sinbad, who despite his shock hugged her right back. He was going to live!

Zeus and Hera unfortunately took the pairs happiness that they were pleased to become married not that Sinbad would not be killed.

Whispering to Hera Zeus said "I think there is hope for them yet." and Hera for once in her eternal existence agreed wholeheartedly with her husband.
