It was a beautiful sunny day up on Olympus, the streets bustling with everyday life. The Muses sung with voices that filled with elegance that spread far over Olympus. The Olympian Market bustling with minor Gods and Goddesses, nature spirits laughing and dancing around. The smell of the sweat flowers blended in with the sweet smell from the bakery. Life on Olympus was cal...
"HOW DARE YOU SLEEP WITH ANOTHER WOMAN ZEUS! WE ARE MARRIED! MARRIED I SAID!"
Ah never mind, Olympus may be the most beautiful place on Earth but it definitely is not calm, not with all the fights that take place behind palace doors. *sigh* Well let me just show you.
" This is the third time this week Zeus and I am sick and tired of you shagging some mere human girl." Her voice said it all, the mighty King of the Gods was dead...well as dead as an immortal can get that is.
While Hera continued her rants about Zeus's unfaithfulness, the other Gods and Goddesses were also having their own squabble.
"Poseidon how dare you bring that wretched girl of yours to my temple and did who knows what in there! I hope to Hades you go to Tartarus and fade!" Poseidon not really paying attention to Athena played around with a glob of water in boredom.
"Bring my daughter back you slime eating son of a Kronos! DO YOU HEAR ME YOU LITTLE FU...!" Ooops hehe, guess the Goddesses of harvest isn't as quite and calm as you thought.
"Hey little sis, how's the hunt? Hey could you put in a good word for me eh?" Apollo asked with a suggestive wink.
"I AM NOT YOUR LITTLE SISTER YOU BIG BALL OF GAS! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU! And don't you dare look or even talk to my hunters EVER."
"Uhuh, so when are you gonna put in a good word for me little sis?"
"UGH YOU INSUFFERABLE LITTLE SLUG!" Screaming in frustration at her idiot brother, she thought again how they were siblings.
Over at the hearth, a woman with a warm brown red Greek dress tended to the hearth in front of her as she looked on at her family.
Hestia P.O.V
As she looked on around at her family, a sudden heaviness settled in her heart as she stared back at the hearth. Oh how she wished her family could once again become whole.
Your wish is our command.
Startled by the sudden voice, she dropped the stick that she used to tend the hearth. At the sudden movement from the quite Goddesses, her family turned to her in worry.
"I...I..." She never got to finish as there was suddenly a bright light that appeared in the center of the room, a light that soon dimmed to reveal Heracles, Theseus, Orion, Perseus and the hunters of Artemis.
No ones P.O.V
"Why are you here hero's? And what is the meaning of this Artemis, why are your hunters here as well?"
Heracles stepped forward kneeling before his father, "We do not know Lord Zeus. I was...somewhere with a friend of mine, the others...I do not know. We thought you had summoned us my Lord." At the sight of the brute, Zoë sneered, the horrible memories of the pig of a boy came crashing full force into her mind.
Seeing her lieutenant looking at that slim ball, she rose off her throne and addressed her father " I also do not understand father, I did not summon my hunters here. I am just as confused you are father."
"Then what is the meani..."
Another blinding light one again arose from the center of the throne room. Dimming, the light showed the three Fates.
At once, the three Fates opened their mouths, speaking as one, "We have gathered the hero's and hunters here in this throne room because of the future." As soon as the last word left their mouths, whispers broke out.
"The future? COOL!"
"What about the future? There gonna be some wars? Better be wars or I'm leaving."
"The future? But if we know of the future... this is a wreck...can't know...but knowledge...no Athena we can't know the future...KNOWLEDGE...wait NO!"
"We have gathered all of you because of a wish, a wish from Hestia," Startled, Hestia realized that the voice she heard was the Fates. The Gods and Goddesses were confused, what wish did the Goddesses of the Hearth wish for? What does the future have anything to do with this wish? "wanting her family to be whole again. Well we agree with her and we have come to a vote, all of you will read about your future children," Shocked at the revelation, they are once again speechless.
"We will be transporting your future children here to read with you, there will be three groups from different times in the future. The first group is your future children between the ages of 12-17 (AN: six years after Thalia was turned into a tree. Luke had gone on his quest already. This group is before Percy comes to camp) The second group is also from the future, they take place 6 years in the future from the first group, these children will be between the ages of 13-16. And finally the third group are the two groups future children, your future grandchildren. We will be sending the books here after everyone is here and have introduced themselves, the first five books are about one particular demigod, he will accomplish many things, things that have been accomplished by these hero's and other accomplishments that have never been accomplished. He is a hero among hero's and have outdone those before him. Most importantly he will show you what family truly means. There will be some short stories of this demigod as well. The other five books consists of seven demigods, one being him. And we hope after all this is finished, Hestia's wish comes true. Goodbye for now." With that, the three Fates vanished with a flash, leaving in their wake the shocked faces.
Heras P.O.V
Hera was the Goddesses of family so this surprising event was something that interested her. She hated demigods, specifically her husbands but If this brought her family closer and the only way for it to happen was to have to read the book about the future with future demigods, then so be it. She'll have to thank Hestia for this opportunity, she like her sister, wished for their family to be better.
"Well while we wait for the children's to arrive, why don't we make some arrangements. Let's have some seats for them to sit, hmm?" Nodding, the Gods and Goddesses flashed in seats ranging from size. Hestia quickly added a table with snacks and drinks. As soon as they all sat back down, a bright light shown brighter than before, so bright they had to look away. As the light dimmed, they turned back only to see Chiron, a young satyr and twelve young children, ages ranging from 12-17— wearing an abnormally bright orange shirt that read Camp Half-Blood with a picture of a pegasus—looking around confused but kneeled in front of the Gods.
No ones P.O.V
Stepping further then the demigods, Chiron kneeled before Zeus "My Lord's and Lady's, may I ask why we have been summoned here?"
"Rise brother, you and the children have been transported to the past by the Fates to read of our future. Two other groups from different times in the future will be arriving as well, you are the first group. The second group is 6 years from your future. The third group is from all of our future, they are the first two groups children, our grandchildren.
Wait did Zeus say grandchildren? As in his young demigods will live long enough to start a family? Oh that certainly made him happy. Not many lived long enough to reach the age of 20. The young demigods behind Chiron was as confused as Chiron.
Hestia became excited, maybe after this her family will actually feel like family. The Fates have outdone themselves and she was oh so thankful. "Children please introduce yourself and your parentage. Hero's from our time will introduce themselves after the second group arrives."
"Of course Lady Hestia. Luke why don't you start us off." Chiron stepped back.
