Alright please don't kill me. I had the biggest writers block in the world in regard to this story and one of my other stories was sapping all my inspiration. Also I've begun training for my cross country team and that includes waking up at five every morning and running four miles. Then going to camp. Then coming home and sleeping. So I've been a little busy. But then I looked at my profile and I was like. Omfg! I need to update! So here I am.
I do not own.
There was a slow change in the mind of Hephaestus. No longer was Aphrodite a petty, and shallow, young girl. No, he was starting to look upon her as his equal. She had abilities, she had power, and most of all she could think for herself. This was an insight that he had never considered. Not since he had received Aphrodite from his mother as a bribe to get her off the golden throne he had crafted. Contrary to popular belief he was not nearly as drunk as everyone believed at that point he had already known that he would end up releasing his mother, he had just wanted to string everyone along. To show them that he had his own power.
But now really was not the time to be thinking on that. At the moment, in fact he was checking up on the young demigod, Percy Jackson. He had recently blown up Mount St. Helens. At the moment he was recovering at Calypso's island. He pitied that boy, he really did. He couldn't catch a break and he knew that his wife was having a lot of fun with him. That was partly why he had survived. She had landed him on this island. It not only saved his life, something he knew that Poseidon was grateful for, but also helped her mess with his love life. And he didn't know whether to feel guilty or not that it had been his side quest that had put Jackson in this…position. Meh he had a hundred years to work it out, he was fine.
Hephaestus flashed to calypso's island. As reluctant as he was to even think about Deadalus this child had almost killed himself for him, he had to reward that somehow. He was also there to bring him news on the Annabeth girl. She was worried sick. The thing was the Hephaestus didn't know if Percy Jackson was going to go back to his friends and family. Love was like that it made you think that down was up and up was down. Then again the feelings that Jackson felt for Calyspo might just be his wife's meddling. What he had said about her was true she was tricky and quite possibly landed him there just to make his life harder. He wouldn't have thought it of her before but now, after seeing all of her power, he felt quite certain it would not have been a problem.
Having said his part he flashed away back to his workshop. He went back under the Corolla that he had previously abandoned. The suspension still needed some work.
Look at my line break!
Aphrodite was a nice person. She really was. I mean sometimes she did cruel things, but it was all in the name of love. And she was nowhere near as cruel as some others like Hera or Athena. She believed that she was a nice Goddesses. That she did her job and didn't shirk. But because of her doing her job she felt underappreciated and mocked. She just didn't understand. She was supposed to be loved by all for her beauty and charm. Instead she was laughed at for being 'shallow'. If you wanted shallow look at Hera. Or Demeter. They both refused to see under the surface because of the ugliness on top. Hera with Hephaestus, and Demeter with Hades. When would she realize that Hades and Persephone genially loved each other and how painful it was for them to part. All Demeter cared about was how she saw Hades and her own selfish desires for her child. Was that not the definition of shallow.
And yet while she was accepting of all love, the brain, the gay, the lesbian, the false, the true, the love at first sight. Demeter was only content with seeing the stereotypes of Hades. She actually enjoyed Hades presence he was a very nice god. And he didn't judge her on the set ideals. Their conversations were always interesting. In fact if she wasn't already married and if Hades hadn't been happy with Persephone than she would have considered marrying him herself. Then again she had once been that shallow as well. Looking only for the perfect husband, strong and handsome, just as Hera was always in search for the perfect family. But she had her eyes opened. It didn't matter what something looked like on the outside. It was the feelings underneath.
She remembered, that back when she was a new goddesses she had matched up couples based on there appearance. She had learned quickly that it was not the looks that made the couple. But she hadn't learned the whole lesson. But now she had.
I bet you guys all hate me right. Yeah I thought so. But I got one review for my last chapter! I mean I know that I probably deserved it but the reviews are what keep me going. And no reviews equals two month long breaks. Along with all the reasons above. So REVEIW! Totallyawesome out!
