A/N: This is my first Fanfic, please be gentle. .


Prologue

The Hall glistened in the light. The pearl columns reaching into the sky, the hall shining brightly with various colours never before had the throne room of Olympus looked so festive. Never before had Zeus been as frightened. He didn't show it of course; with his sandy blonde hair blowing in the winds, and his regal posture, one might be fooled into thinking that he was the epitome of calm. They would be dead wrong. Only those who saw his fearful emerald eyes understood that he honestly feared for his life.

Hera. No matter how many times he banished it, that one name kept coming back to him. Even worse was the fact that it was always followed by conflicting emotions; fear, regret, and anger were only a few of those emotions that plagued him. Part of him wanted to blame Demeter for everything, but couldn't. It took two to tango after all. He could at least blame her for the flamboyant party she had set up. That he was currently attending. For his newborn daughter. Demeter's daughter.

His affair would not go unnoticed and he knew it. What he didn't know however, was how much time it would take for Hera to get revenge. He couldn't even fathom what revenge she would take. That was what scared him the most.

Zeus sighed. The only reason Zeus had married Hera in the first place, was the fact that she had the most support from the other gods. No one else was as powerful politically as Zeus and Hera. That was the rationale at least.

Zeus snapped out of his train of thought when Hephaestus prodded him. The young god was ugly but soft-spoken sort of a and had a rebellious streak. He reminded Zeus of himself in that last quality.

"You may speak my son," he relented.

"Mother said that after the party, she wishes to speak with you,-" Zeus let out a breath he didn't know he had taken. As long as she didn't ask for-, "and Aunt Demeter."


A/N: This is a little bit short but I will edit this later. Please tell me about any grammar mistakes, or anything you think should be added removed or improved. This little story will start from her party to the Epilogue with Hades.
