This is a new story, based on The Little Mermaid with a little bit of Rapunzel. I hope you enjoy.
Athena was conflicted.
She had never been in a situation before where the father of her child was unable to take care of child, in this case her lovely daughter Annabeth. She knew what Zeus's rules stated, that the child should be turned over to Chiron and raised among others of her kind but she couldn't bare it.
"Having issues, dear sister," Athena turned from the beautiful child in the crib to the beautiful goddess of love. Aphrodite smiled at the girl in the crib. "She is lovely, as are all children. Though, something is different about her. I can't quite put my finger on it yet."
Athena groaned, turning from her sister and picking up the baby. "Sister, we have fought since the beginning of time. Whatever proposition you have, I won't-."
"I can convince Hera to let you keep her."
Athena's eyes snapped to Aphrodite before narrowing in suspicion. "How?"
Aphrodite shrugged. "Telling her it would keep the family together, she'd be vulnerable without the camp and even at the camp she wouldn't fit in." The girl placed her manicured hand on her own chin. "She would want something though; most likely an agreement the girl would go on a quest for her if she ever needs it."
"Hera hasn't needed a quest since Greece was at it's peak."
"All the more easier for her then," Aphrodite gestured to the baby. "Just say the word, Athena. I know I can make it happen."
Aphrodite's voice was pleading yet alluring, she knew there was something about this young girl that was tied to a hero. She just didn't know what hero or how, she knew the girl would be important but only if she was with her mother.
"Let it be so." Athena agreed as she rocked her baby in her arms. "I can't allow one of my children to suffer, knowing I could have stopped it."
And so it was.
