It was after the war with the Titans and the children of Kronos and Rhea were celebrating their victory. The throne room of Olympus was filled with the allies who had helped them with winning the war with the Titans. As the celebration was winding down it was time for the gods to get their new domains and for the choosing of the new king and queen of Olympus and, therefore, the earth.

From the eldest to the youngest the six children of Kronos stood. The fates came with a bright flash and the ceremony started.

The fates said "Hestia, the eldest daughter of Kronos and Rhea please step forward"

Hestia meekly stepped forward and they pronounced "All hail Hestia, goddess of the hearth, architecture, and the right ordering of domesticity, the family, the home, the hatred, and the state. The first Olympian. Keeper of the hearth."

As the fates pronounced this a throne rose out of the ground and stood in the middle of the room. The throne was white in color and there was a hearth symbol made on it. There was a noticeable change in Hestia's appearance. Her eyes had turned to a darker shade of brown and it looked like her eyes consisted of fire itself but it was not a harmful fire rather a peaceful one. She bowed to the fates and went to sit on her throne. As she sat there was applause for her. She smiled thankfully to everyone.

The fates continued " Hades, the eldest male of Kronos and Rhea. Step forward"

Hades with his confident, self stepped forward. The fates pronounced " all hail Hades, God of the Dead, the Underworld, Subterranean Regions, Night, Dreams, Curses, Death, Darkness, the Earth, Fertility, Riches, the Afterlife, and Metals. The second Olympian."

There was a power surge where Hades stood and after it faded, there stood a handsome man with onyx colored eyes and black hair and a pale face. There was another rumble and now beside Hestia there stood another throne, but it was pitch black in color with souls depicted on it, there were different gems and different rubies that were on the throne and it seemed to suck the lighting in. Hades bowed to the fates and he took his throne.

Next, the fates said "Demeter, second eldest daughter of Kronos, step forward"

Demeter stepped forward and the fates pronounced "all hail Demeter, goddess of the grain, agriculture, harvest, growth, and nourishment. The third Olympian" now there was a power surge and Demeter's appearance had changed, she now had grassy green eyes and brown hair. She bowed to the fates and took her seat on the throne which had sprung from the ground. As she sat on the throne it became rocky like a field and the throne was covered with patches of grass.

Next, the fates announced " Hera, the daughter of Kronos, step forward."

Hera reluctantly stepped forward "All hail Hera, goddess of women, marriage, family, and childbirth. The fourth Olympian." The power surge again took place and the only thing that changed was her eyes changed from blue to brown. A deep rumble and another throne sprung from the ground. She bowed and took her seat of power. As she sat on the throne, it didn't change much except for small depictions of women appearing here and there.

Next up the fates in sync announced " Poseidon, son of Kronos, step forward"

Poseidon with a comfortable smile stood in front of the fates "All hail Poseidon, God of the sea, earthquakes, soil, storms, and horses. Lord of the seas. The fifth Olympian" the power surge happened and as it happened there was a lurch from the ocean as if acknowledging its new master and ready to obey his will. Another seat of power rose from the ground and as Poseidon seemed to move towards his feet made small earthquakes shook the room. As he took his seat of power the throne morphed into a fisherman's seat with a cup handle that was bottomless. It looked like it was rickety but it stood sturdy as Poseidon relaxed into it.

Last but not the least the fates announced "Zeus, the youngest son of Kronos, step forward"

With a cocky grin as he was sure that he was going to be made king because no one of Olympus was made he stepped forward "all hail Zeus, God of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order, and justice. King of the sky. Lord of lighting. The sixth Olympian." Zeus' face fell as he realized that he was not going to be king. The others in the hall also realized that no one was pronounced king by the fates. Zeus bowed and went to his throne. The throne morphed into a cloud and small arcs of lightning shot from his throne.

The people in the hall now fell in hushed whispers, talking about who is going to be king now?

Zeus taking the opportunity spoke to the fates " Milady, who is going to be king now? Surely because I saved my siblings I would be king?"

Fates as if waiting for him to speak spoke harshly "silence Zeus!!! The king of Olympus would be your eldest sibling as is hid right."

Every god looked at Hestia in wonder, but she was just as confused because she doesn't remember 'queen of Olympus' in her titles.

As if sensing this fates spoke, " not Hestia, she is not your eldest sibling." Now people were confused. Continuing " before anyone of you was born Kronos had copulated with Tethys and she bore him a child. His name was Perseus, but due to Kronos remembering his father's warning ate him too, but not before Gaia giving him her blessing. Tethys got angered and left him. And then he married Rhea and had you six. The thing is Perseus was very old then you six and because of him being eaten he was in Kronos stomach for a long time and in the very depths but when you gave Kronos the drink of wine and mustard he was not able to regurgitate him. But when you killed him he sprung out. And we hid him from you. Now all hail Perseus, god of power, time, earth, stars, tides and light. The seventh Olympian. Blessed by Gaia herself. KING of Olympus."

As soon as they finished saying that a portal appeared and out came a man with raven black windswept hair with sea green eyes that had a clock in them and some twinkles like that of the stars. He had a troublemaker smile on and his smile eased everyone.

All the siblings were aghast. How could they not know that they had an elder brother though illegitimate? They should have sensed him through their familial bond. Hell, he could have helped them in the fight. These thoughts were running in all the sibling's mind.

Another throne rose from the ground and as soon as he sat on it changed to a golden color with clocks and black twinkles that look like black stars. The armrest moved wavelike and the headrest was made by an ever-shifting piece of the earth.

The siblings were both shocked and in awe by the beauty of the throne. Perseus, like he was made to be a king, walked to his throne and sat gracefully like he has been doing this for centuries.

He smiled at his half-siblings but his smile faltered when he noticed that they were all giving him a frown or a scowl. He quickly made his face expressionless and gave a nod for the fates to continue the ceremony.

As the ceremony concluded several gods were given proper domains. Some of the many being Hecate, Nike, Janus, Nemesis, Iris.

As each God was given a domain Perseus provided each of them a seat of power or a throne

In the council room. Each good though surprised Bowed happily and accepted the throne. Everyone was happy except the Olympian gods whose scowls and frowns deepened as more gods were given a throne.

Finally, the ceremony was over and the fates flashed out of the throne room. As every God was leaving Perseus addressed them "Even though I did not fight with you in the war against our father, I will try my hardest to prove to gain your trust and support. Now you can go for your duties and get to know your domains. Can all the Olympian gods stay back?"

As soon as the last minor for left the throne room and uncomfortable silence settled in. Perseus addressing this "brothers and sisters, are you not happy to see your elder brother here?"

Zeus in his snarky tone replied "happy? Far from it brother, why are you here all of a sudden? Where were you when we were fighting the war? Now that we have won you have come to claim your birthright as king? I or Hestia should be king, not you who did not even do anything." Zeus said brother with enough venom to kill the Kraken. All of the siblings agreed with Zeus' thoughts.

Perseus in a calm tone countered "brother you know where I was and why I could not help you in the war. If I would have been outside his stomach then I would have definitely helped you with the war"

Perseus wanted nothing more to be in the good graces of his siblings but seeing it on their faces he could tell he has a long way to go. Perseus then sighed disappointedly and just dismissed the meeting. As soon as the last of his sibling left he was in deep thought as to how to make his siblings believe in him or at least try to befriend them.
