Chapter 4: The Three Marriages Part 2:

Simon's Journey Into Becoming A Not-Decent God that Isabelle will surely Cheat On.

If there was one thing really sure about Isabelle and Simon's Marriage, is that Simon was way out of Isabelle's league. All the Gods wanted Isabelle's hand, and no one really wanted to date Simon.

Isabelle was the beautiful Goddess of Love, Beauty, and the Sun, so in a party she'll be the first lady you'll see and want to date. Plus she has a belt that will make anyone fall in love with her. She was worshipped so much in Greece cause who doesn't want Love in their life. If you worship her very well, she'll give you a pretty good love life. Also she was the sun goddess which meant her skin glowed pretty well.

She was worshipped and admired throughout Greece and probably had the longest list of lovers.

Simon was well….kind of invisible. He was respected because he was the god of blacksmiths and messengers, but there were already two inventor gods before he became one, and what can you pray to a messenger god. Oh great Simon, please make sure you help my letter reaches my mother. He's not exactly the God to be admired.

In battles, Isabelle would be in her glory, standing beside her brother, whipping any enemy who dared to cross her. Simon would probably in the forges getting shouted by Gods to finish making their weapons.

Isabelle was also feared because she could easily make your love life, a tragedy, and she could burn a whole village if she's angry. Simon couldn't really do much when he's angry cause he's a bit too nice for a God.

And so Simon's story of becoming a Not-Decent God started when Clary had to choose a husband for Isabelle.

"Hmmm…"Clary looked at the list of Male Gods that she had. "There's no one here that will surely not make the other suitors jealous." She threw the paper in frustration.

"Don't messed up the records. It takes me fifty years to organised those files." Alec scolded. They were both currently in Idris records library.

"Well, there are more important things than your files." Clary scratched her hair in distress. "If your sister doesn't get married right now, a whole war will start! And Jace is seriously going to start one even if he's married to me!"

"Is that why you burned her closet yesterday?" Alec asked calmly.

"Oh come on everyone ,who's not in love with her,hates her! She gets too much attention!" Clary screamed in jealousy. "Don't you feel jealous of her?!"

Alec rolled his eyes. He had enough rants from the other goddesses about their jealousy of his sister, but admittedly he could be jealous of her sometimes. "Rarely." He answered honestly.

"See?" Clary pointed out.

"Anyway…what do we do if we can't find a 'suitable' God?" Alec air quoted 'suitable' because they had to find a God that is way out of Isabelle's league, like very out.

Clary tapped her chin, thinking. "Is it possible to make a new God?"

"Yeah, Helen was made into a God, before she was a nymph."

"Right. How about we make a mortal into a God? Because mortals are the lower that us Gods, making one into a God will mean that…well that God we'll turn will be looked down on a lot."

Alec gave her an approving nod. "That's a pretty good plan, but we can't just turn a random mortal into a God. They still have to be 'worthy' like how Jace favoured Helen for being his friend, and I won't just give my sister's hand to someone not worthy, that would be insulting to my sister's name."

"Then we'll have to find a mortal and make him into a hero or he'll have to do something in our favours, or do something extraordinary." Clary said. "That'll be hard cause that guy also has to be way out of Isabelle's league."

"Well, it's your job to choose that man, so good luck." Alec stated. "But I'll be there to test him."

Alec left leaving Clary thinking in the library.

Simon was a very ordinary guy. He was born in the city of Argos, which was a city who patron Clary as their state God. His family wasn't rich but they weren't poor either. His father and mother handled a small market place, and his older sister was married to a very nice carpenter.

He wasn't really special in any way. He had normal brown eyes and hair. Everyday he would go to school and he had okay grades, but everyday he would get bullied because he had a weird obsession with inventing. Everyday he would draw new ideas, and sometimes he would make one invention but it wouldn't work , but he would never give up.

His inspiration for inventing came from his admiration of Clary, their city-state god. Every afternoon, he would go to her temple and give offerings. He would also pray to her that he wished he could be a great inventor like her.

Clary favoured that kid for being so devoted to worshiping her, but she also thought that he was way out of Isabelle's league. Desperate. Skinny. Normal. Weak. Perfect husband for Isabelle.

"He's perfect." Clary whispered to Alec. They were both disguised as mortals in the marketplace of Argos. They were watching Simon helping his mother carry some vegetables.

"He seems nice enough…" Alec said. "He's definitely not worthy of Isabelle, but how do we make him worthy of being a God?"

They both looked at each other when they created a plan.

When Simon was walking towards the temple of Clary, he stopped in front of a river to drink some water.

"Young man…" A voiced drawled beside him.

Simon almost jumped when he faced the voice. It was a sickly old lady wrapped in black cloth. It had teeth like a witch's and her feet were so small.

"I need help. Can you please carry me to the Temple of Clary, I wanted to pray to the goddess for my family's safety before I die?" The old woman asked.

"Uhhhhhh…" Simon said. He really did pity the old lady but what if that woman was a killer or had a rare disease. "I'm not really sure…"

"Well….You might not know, I could be a goddess testing you." The old woman muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about those legends when a god would appear to someone in disguise and would test them…"

When Simon heard that, he immediately decided to help. He heard stories that if you don't help a god in disguise they would punish you. He carried the old lady over his back, and walked over the river with a heavy woman on his back.

He managed to reach the temple and set the old woman down in front of a marble statue of the Goddess.

"Thank you, young man.." The old woman said.

"You're welcome." Simon huffed. He was pretty tired, that lady weighed a ton.

"Congratulations, Simon Lewis." A voice boomed throughout the temple.

Simon looked at the statue of Clary and saw a tall man with raven hair and blue eyes standing beside it. He wore a long chiton with long sleeves ,unlike Simon's shorter and cheaper one, and he had a staff with an owl on it.

"Who are you? How did you get here?" Simon asked, terrified at the other man's intelligent eyes.

"You once cursed me because your teacher gave you a very hard math test…" The blue eyed boy stated with an annoyed voice.

"Oh you're…Alexander…god of the moon and wisdom.." Simon paled and rambled. "I'm sorry I cursed you for that test….Also I'm sorry I killed that owl once…"

Alec interrupted him. "I'm not going to punish you for your lack of wisdom, Simon Lewis. Besides this isn't my temple, and another god wants to speak to you." Alec indicated to that old lady who was sitting at the feet of the statue.

Simon stared in amazement when the old lady, transform into a beautiful girl with bright red hair and green eyes. She wore a gold coloured dress and in her hand was a staff that had a lotus flower on top of it.

"You're…Clary." Simon said in awe. He couldn't believe he was meeting the goddess. He never thought he could ever see her in all his lifetime.

"Hello, Simon Lewis." Clary smiled. Unlike Alec's cold calculating look, Clary had a warm smile of a mother's.

"I can't believe it…"

"Me and Alec are here for a reason…" Clary explained. "We need you to do something for us, Simon Lewis."

"What is it?" Simon said 'll do anything for that goddess.

"I want you to defeat a very dangerous monster and bring me it's head." Clary said. "Also you'll need to steal a golden apple from a dragon after you get me the head."

"Wait! What?" Simon said shocked. "I can't do that I'm not strong or a hero."

"Use your head then.." Alec suggested. "Don't just think that everything is fight and blood. Don't think like Jace."

"Isn't Jace like the king of the gods?" Simon asked.

"Unfortunately." Alec rolled his eyes as thunder rumbled because of Jace's anger. He then snapped his fingers and a mirror-like shield appeared in Simon's arms. Also a coin appeared in his hands."The shield will help you with the monster, and the coin will get you to the Underworld."

"The monster you're going to kill is Medusa. If you look at her in the eye, you'll be turned to stone." Clary explained. "Bring me her head and the golden apple to me. Also you can't kill the dragon.."

"Why?" Simon was seriously confused right now.

"Jace would kill us…" Clary said. "The apple is in the mountain where Asmodues holds the sky and Medusa is located in the Underworld."

"I suggest you go after Medusa then the apple." Alec supplied.

"Why am I doing this? Can't you just get a better guy for this?"

"You need to prove to us, Simon, that you're worthy of becoming a God.." Clary said sweetly.

Simon paused. "Me? A God."

"Yeah…" Clary averted her eyes and lied. "We needed more Gods in our council and we thought you were worthy of becoming one.."

"Wow…" Simon smiled. "I'll make you two proud."

He ran and left the temple, leaving the two gods to talk.

"You sure, it's alright to lie to him?" Alec asked.

"Well, it's better than becoming a God to just be a husband that your wife will obviously cheat on." Clary said.

Simon quickly left the temple, with a coin and a shield. He went to the local blacksmith and asked if he could make a sword. The blacksmith and him were great friends so Simon managed to create a sword. It was sharp and long. He loved it.

He packed some supplies for the journey, and told his parents he was on a quest for the goddess, Clary. Now I know what you're thinking, why would his parents let him go on a dangerous quest? Because it's quite common for men around that time to go on quests for the Gods or they'll be punished.

First he put the coin under his tongue. It may be gross but before it was tradition to put a coin under a dead body's tongue so they'll make it to the underworld, and manage to pay Charon, the man who'll guide you to the underworld.

He appeared in the scary place and gave the coin to Charon, who nodded at him and direct him in the underworld.

"So where's this Medusa's place?" Simon asked.

"I'm taking you to Magnus's palace, first." Charon said through his robe. "He wanted to see your presence first."

"What?"

Simon was guided into the scary-looking palace. He first saw a giant three-headed dog called Cerberus, which almost made him pee in his pants. Then he was called in throne room, where he saw the God of Death siting on a throne of bones.

He didn't really expect Magnus to look..well…colourful. He expected the god to be dressed in black and looked pretty depressed, but instead he saw a smirking man wearing a gold and purple chiton. His hair was spiked up and has glitters in it. He had a goblet of wine in his hand, and he wore make-up.

This was a weird day for Simon.

"You're Magnus Bane?" Simon managed to utter.

"It's annoying, how people see me as an emo depressed king. I knew getting this domain was wrong." Magnus scowled and took a gulp of wine. "But anyway why are you here mortal? I know that you are still alive and I sense a god's blessing on you."

"Uhhhh…on a quest." Simon answered. "Clary and Alec told me to defeat this monster…."

"Clarissa, you say?" Magnus said.

"Yeah…."

"I know now, why you're here?" Magnus growled in a dark voice, making Simon shiver in fear. "You see, mortal. Isabelle warned me about you.."

"Ummm…I don't know what you're talking…" Simon attempted.

"Silence!" Magnus scowled. "I'm not going to let you get Isabelle! She deserves someone better!"

"Dude, chill!" Simon said. "I seriously don't wanna get Isabelle!"

"Too bad, you have to marry her." Magnus mocked.

"What?"

"Isn't it obvious? You're becoming a God to marry her."

"Really?" Simon said flattered. "Wow, I must be that worthy."

"Yeah. Yeah." Magnus snapped his fingers and flames surrounded Simon. "But too bad, she's mine."

Simon was terrified. He knew this quest was a terrible idea. He looked at the blue flames around him and saw Magnus' angered face. His face just didn't seem….right. He remembered Alec's words about using your head.

"Wait! Do you really wanna do this for just some girl?!" Simon screamed.

Magnus looked at him like he had grown two heads. "She's that goddess of love and beauty. Who wouldn't want her?"

"Do you really love her?" Simon reasoned.

"Of course I do."

"You sure, she doesn't have some love spell on you, like every other god."

"Uhhhh…"Magnus was speechless.

"Then tell me why you love her?"

"Well…she's beautiful."

"Beauty isn't everything." Simon said. "Besides she just spoke with you earlier, maybe you just got charmed by her charmspeak."

"You're probably right." Magnus said thoughtfully. "But why shouldn't I kill you?"

"Because….uhhh…." Simon didn't really know what to say. "You're never gonna get rid of Medusa."

"She doesn't really do anything but kill mortals." Magnus answered bored.

"A war will break out between the gods."

"I'm sure they can get over Isabelle like what I just did…"

"uhhhh…" Simon felt hopeless. "I can make you a better throne chair.."

Magnus's eyes lightened up. "Really?"

"Yeah…" Simon said unsure. "I mean bones are so….three minutes ago."

"Well, make one, right now." The flames around Simon died down. "I'll be the judge of it. If I like it, you can go do your quest, if I don't like it, you die."

Luckily Simon had both the blessings of Clary and Alec, so he got a large stone of onyx black stone, and carved into a chair. He attached multiple gems on it making it elegant and colourful. He put gold designs on it's edges and put velvet pillows on it to make it comfortable. Overall, it was a pretty cool throne, he even put one skull to finish it off.

"It's a magnificent chair, Steve." Magnus complimented.

"I'm Simon."

"Whatever, Simone." Magnus shooed him away. "Go finish your quest, and tell Alec I said 'Hello'."

Simon left the palace without turning back. He managed to find Medusa's palace.

He was scared when he entered. He couldn't even look at the enemy. She was a woman with snakes as hair and a lower body of a snakes. Simon could only look at her with his shield.

Using the shield to find, he slice her head without looking at her, and place the disembodied head in his bag. He knew he could still use the head to turn someone into stone, but he couldn't turn the dragon into stone so what could he do.

He realised an idea and got the mirror shield, and split it into two pieces. He put Medusa's head in the middle and put together the two metals again. He looked at the shield and saw there was a sort of design of Medusa's head, but instead of turning him into stone, he felt waves of terror and he felt frozen from fear. He knew he could use the shield and he called it: Aegis

When he returned to the living world, he got a boat to sail to the mountain where the golden apples are. On the way to the mountain, he encountered another jealous suitor of Isabelle, Jonathan.

The sea god appeared on the deck of his boat, and when he saw Jonathan, he screamed. "Does Isabelle want to kill me that much?!"

"Yeah.." Jonathan said. Simon thought that he was more laid-back than Magnus' anger earlier. "She thinks marriage is suppose to be formed by true love."

"Listen, dude, I didn't do this quest because I wanted to marry her. I had to do it because either I become a God or I get blasted into pieces." Simon answered. "Besides I don't really get you Gods, what's the big deal if I marry her? She'll obviously cheat on me. She dates everybody."

"Yeah, she probably will. You're way out of her league." Jonathan agreed making Simon feel offended.

"So will you leave me alone, now?"

"Actually I came here to check on you for my sister." Jonathan said. "I also know now I can't get jealous of you, because no offence you're kind of a joke."

"I know." Simon said miserably.

"I feel bad for you, bro. Maybe after this whole quest, you can hang out with me when she ditches you during the honeymoon." Jonathan suggested.

"Thanks man." Simon thanked him gratefully.

Jonathan melted into a puddle and disappeared.

Simon reached the mountain and saw the golden apple tree and also Asmodeus holding up the sky.

"Mortal, how about you hold the sky for me for a while, and I'll get an apple for you?" Asmodeus suggested.

"Nah, I'm good." Simon prepared his shield.

Simon used Aegis to scare the dragon away from him, and he managed to get a golden apple from the tree. He left the place and went back home to Argos where he visited the Temple of Clary again. He saw the goddess, and Alec waiting for him there.

"Simon, finally." Clary said.

He gave the apple and his shield, Aegis.

"Pretty clever." Alec said looking at the shield. "You impress me, Lewis. My sister may think you're too low for her standards because of your looks, but I can see you have a clever mind in you. Something I admire greatly."

"Thanks." Simon said.

"You may think you're going to be in an unhappy marriage but give my sister time. She'll learn to love you. She's not as shallow-minded as you think." Alec gave him a rare smile.

Simon nodded.

And so Simon was made into the God of Blacksmiths and Messengers. He told his family goodbye, and he went to live in Idris.

"Let's just get this over with." Isabelle scowled.

Simon stared in wonder at the Goddess. She really was beautiful and he could see why the other gods were fighting over her. Maybe it was the magic belt that made him fall in love with her at first sight.

They got married. No other male gods argued for Isabelle's hand in marriage, but they were satisfied because she still dated behind Simon's back.

Simon was pretty satisfied at Idris. He didn't really mind Isabelle's cheating like Clary. He made inventions that everyone loved.

But did they fall in love with each other in the end? Well that's another story for later.
