Author's note:
Read this first. I made the chapter too long and split it.
Sorry for taking so long. I kept rewriting it over and over. Also, I had a weird dream where I was using my computer to create a new story. I woke up confused, trying to find it, but I couldn't.
I want to thank everyone for liking this story and following it. I forgot to say thanks when it reached 100, 200, 300 favs, and finally at 400 follows. I didn't think people would like it, but I'm happy you do. Don't forget, it's AU since some of you would still complain that it didn't happen or that you don't like it when you read through the chapters. All I can say is that I can't please everyone. Anyway, enough of this on to the story, enjoy.
Brianna's Pov:
'Oh hades, please tell me this is a dream,' Brianna thought desperately, trying to push her skirt down, trying to cover more of her legs, but failed. This is not what she was expecting when her mistress summoned her.
Aphrodite would usually summon servants for different things like to help her pick out clothes for the next day, help bounce ideas off of them for her next book or help her release her frustrations from dealing with the gods/goddesses. What she did not expect was to be summoned to the same room as her mother.
She could feel her mother's piercing gaze on her, trailing down from her head to her feet; no doubt she's disappointed in her for wearing such a revealing outfit.
On the surface, she's trying to keep calm, but on the inside, she's panicking badly. She could feel the heat rushing up to her face as she tried to think about something else other than this embarrassing situation she found herself in. She thought, 'Why, why is she here? I didn't know my mom and Lady Aphrodite are friends. If I did, then I would have worn something that covered more of my skin, not my uniform.'
/( T - T )/
"Alrighty girls, help Athena set up her things while I'm going to give my son a bath." Aphrodite clapped her hands, making her cringe a little, coming back to the situation at hand.
Is there a way for her to go with Aphrodite and Ben? Maybe she could speak up, but would she let her? Perhaps she wants to spend some time with her son. What should she do if Aphrodite says no.' Brianna's thoughts ran rapidly as she came up with the idea that might not work, but she had to try.
Luckily before she could speak, she was saved by her best friend, Katherine, who spoke up to give her a hand, "Maybe Brianna could help you. He looks like a fussy baby when you bathe him. Having her there could be useful while you set things up and help put his clothes on after your done."
''Hmm,'' Aphrodite looked at Katherine than to Athena for a second before finally setting her gaze to Brianna. She nodded in agreement, ''Excellent idea, Katherine. Let's do that. Come along, Brianna.''
Brianna sent Katherine a grateful look, and she returned it with a wink. Maybe she'll give her a ticket to Cerce's resort or a ticket to one of the hottest concerts ever as a thank you. She's a real-life saver, saving her from this situation.
Aphrodite brought their attention back to her when she started speaking, ''Ok, so everyone but Brianna follow Athena to set up the equipment inside Benjamin's room. Just go down the hall on the left and one the first door with his name on it. You'll find it.''
As everyone started to move, Brianna happily walked up and arrived next to Aphrodite, who handed Ben to her.
She sighed in relief to avoid an awkward situation with her mother. She looked down and blinked at Ben, who started to drool while staring at her. She smiled at the cute baby as she picked up a napkin from the table and dabbed at his mouth.
Brianna pushed her hair behind her ears, so none of it would land on his face, irritating him. She brought her face closer to him, making some cooing sounds, and poked his chubby cheeks as he looked at her. A thought popped into her head while she was playing with Ben, which she then asked Aphrodite.
''Um, quick question, mistress. Do you know where to go? Are we going to the master bathroom or the guest bathroom?'' Brianna asked as they started to walk down the hallway on the right on the other side, where everyone left. She thought they would follow the group and split off after a few feet, one going to Benjamin's room and them going to the bathroom, but it didn't happen.
''Of course, I do, and we're going to the best room in the house, which is the master bedroom. I received a tour of the house before, so it's fine. I know where I'm going.'' Aphrodite said, leading in front, walking sensually past two closed doors on opposite sides, and she kept walking as another hallway appeared on the right.
She turned the corner, and after a few more steps, they finally stopped as Aphrodite opened the door, ''Here it is.''
They walked inside a room that's painted dark blue; hanging on the wall is a few pictures of Johnny and his family, a king-size bed with dark blue covers, two medium sizes lamps with stands underneath, a walk-in closet, a dresser, and a bathroom at the end.
''Nice room, if a bit plain. Could use some more furniture or something." Brianna said, eying the area, before landing on the bed, "At least he has a comfortable-looking bed."
''I know, right? I said the same thing, but mine's so much better and softer.'' Aphrodite nodded and bragged at the end. She sighed at the fun times she had in here with Johnny. She shook her head, going back to the present.
They walked past the bed and went into the bathroom. Aphrodite hummed in thought as she saw the ordinary shower, a sink, and a toilet.
She snapped her fingers, changing the plain bathroom to a jacuzzi-sized bathtub that appeared with a shelf of different assortments of baby shampoos, baby clothes, lotions, wipes, and diapers. ''Much better. Now, let's get him cleaned up.'' Aphrodite said, starting to remove her clothes as the bathtub started filling by itself.
Pretty soon, it stopped, filling 3/4 of the way. Aphrodite dipped her fingers inside and happily nodded to herself, finding it to be the perfect temperature. Not too hot or too cold and a small chair for her baby boy to sit in without falling and drowning.
"Uh, mistress? Why is it a big tub, and why are you removing your clothes? I thought Benjamin is getting a bath?" Brianna asked, confused. What she didn't say and kept to herself, 'You don't need something that big, a small one is fine. It's not like you need to fit more than one person, not for five.'
Aphrodite hummed in agreement before she spoke, starting to remove the last of her clothing, which was her red lacy bra and panties, "That's true, but I won't be able to have a chance to bathe with him later on; also, my skin is all dirty, so it's fine." She pointed to her arms and chest, but Brianna couldn't see anything dirty on her skin.
Brianna sighed, used to the whims of her mistress, and laid Benjamin on his back next to the sink. She started to remove his shirt, but he was such a fussy baby. It's like he doesn't want to get a bath. After a few minutes of struggling, she finally removed his socks and handed him to his naked mother, who was reaching for him.
Aphrodite went in first, making sure she has a secure hold on Ben, and started to walk towards the small chair to put him in.
"Don't worry, my little boo, mommy, got you. Yes, she does, yes she does." Aphrodite said in a babyish tone, slowly letting Benjamin feel the water on his little pink foot. He smiled in joy, happily kicked the water as Aphrodite slowly sank, moving Ben to the seat. It soon covered up to his chest as he started splashing, playing around.
''Come on in, the water is perfect. Help me wash my back, and I'll wash yours after I clean Benjamin.'' Aphrodite said, waving her hand in a come hither motion towards the only other person in the room.
Brianna nodded and started to remove her clothing quickly. After removing the last article, she dipped in her smooth leg, one after another, and after fully submerging herself up to her neck, she sighed in joy; she could feel the water somehow messaging her whole body, making all the stress disappear.
Ben's POV :
We arrived back from the bath, and I am mostly content. Although, I could do without Aphrodite washing me with the rose-scented baby-safe soap, which caused me to sneeze a lot. What's worse, at the end of the bath, she wanted me to wear baby pink bunny pajamas with a bit of flap on top for the ears and a round ball at the end for the tail. Thank the gods that Brianna persuaded her to give up on that idea; instead, she put on me a baby blue fluffy one-piece pajamas of an animal that I don't know the name of. All I know is that the color is tan; it has a hood with little ears flaps and a small tail at the bottom in the back.
I would do something good for her when I'm able to move about without whacking myself properly. Maybe I'll make her some chocolate or something when I could raise my cooking level high enough.
One positive thing that came out of that is that I got three skills. Two of them are the Heat and Cold resistance Lv. 1, and I raised it to Lv. 3. Sadly, for the third one, well... it's a skill called Peeping Lv. 1, and it was raised to Lv. 5 pretty quickly, much to my frustrations. (See skill detail on the end of the page)
'It's not my fault, though. It's both heaven and hell for me, just sitting there watching them... no-no, get the thought out from your head, that's your mother. Though the greeks do practice ins... Not thinking of it. How can any straight man ever resist the heavenly view of two super attractive females in front of them as the water drip down their... no no, don't think about it. Or how they wash each other... 'Gaahh, why game?! why do this to me?! Why couldn't you make me older?! Why isn't gamer mind activating, like at all?!' I whimpered a bit, but it was soft enough that no one heard me.
Sadly, I didn't receive a response, but I thought I heard a voice snicker somewhere, but when I looked around, I didn't see anyone else. Maybe it's just my imagination; if not, then I'll have my revenge on the system for this.
'I want to have a photograph or, better yet, a video... mainly because it's my first bath and I wanted to keep it for... educational purposes, no other reason, scouts honor; even though I was kicked out, but still. Sadly, I couldn't enjoy it even if I had a video of it. I have to wait for so many years until puberty to start.' / ( T - T ) /
We soon arrived back at my room, and it shocked me how my room looks so different now than before. My room went from a small room with a crib and a table with a baby monitor to a photographer's wet dream come true.
There are so many lighting, background pictures of places, battery chargers, extension cords, power strips, and plug adapters, light stands, umbrella heads, ankle weights, reflectors, a step ladder, lint rollers all arranged in the perfect position for the best photos possible.
I fidgeted in Brianna's arms wanting to escape, when I spied Athena behind the camera, getting it ready as Katherine took out a babby-sized teddy bear costume amongst others from a big bag on the floor. I felt my stomach drop at the costumes.
''Are you finished with the bath, Mistress?'' Naomi asked, finally finished setting up the lights and the backdrop with Atlantia's help. Currently, it shows a forest with trees and shrubs.
''Yes, my little Benny-poo is all cleaned up, and smell's good.'' Aphrodite gushed, pinching my cheek a little. She kissed me on the other side of my cheek before she moved to Katherine to decide which one they would do first.
I ignored them talking, deep in thought, 'Maybe I could use my skills to set the place on fire and ruin the costumes. Use a mana arrow or mana knife to make holes in them? How can I do it without drawing attention, though? Can I make a mouse or a rat and have them ruin the clothes?'
In the end, I could do nothing with the two goddesses in the room with me. I gave a bored sigh while they took multiple pictures of me in cute costumes. I could feel my manliness dying inside each time they dress me up and trying to make a pose for them. Why do they have so many costumes? They dressed me like a baby duck, a teddy bear, a panda, and other cute outfits. Hopefully, this lion costume would be the last one; if not, I would have to do something drastic, like pooping myself or throwing up.
''Come on, Benny, try to open your mouth and move your hand up,'' Aphrodite said, shaking a raddle in front of me. I just gave her a deadpan look in response and just sat there looking at her. I blew bubbles from my mouth at her before laying on my back giving up.
She pouted, picking me up, bringing me close to her face. She took a pink cloth and started to wipe my mouth, ''Are you bored? Do you want a nap, or are you hungry?''
I gurgled happily, patting her cheek, telling her, yes, I'm bored, but she mistook that as a no. I pouted, and she just squealed and pinched my cheek lightly. She moved me back to the ground and somehow made my teddy bear appeared from behind her.
'How the hell did she do that?!' I thought, not seeing a flash of light or her picking him up from the living room. As I pondered, she moved it in front of me and shook it a little. I started to reach for it, but she moves it out of my reach.
''That's it, my lil' Benny-poo. Give a big smile to Beary. Come on, honey, look at the camera.'' Aphrodite moved back just enough to get out of the frame, now standing next to Athena.
"Beary?" Athena asked, moving her head away from the camera to give Aphrodite a look at the dumb name. She shouldn't have been surprised at Aphrodite for coming up with a crappy title.
Aphrodite noticed the unimpressed look and spoke in her defense, "What? It's a good name." She huffed as Athena gave her an eye roll and said nothing while ignoring how her servants found something fascinating to look at, not willing to comment on their mistress naming sense.
I opened my mouth, with my hand reaching for it. I figured I should at least do this once and pretend to fall asleep afterward. It's not like anyone would see this or understand what I'm saying, so I'll go all out. I closed my eyes for a few seconds, and when I opened them, focusing only on my bear, ignoring the snickers that only I could hear around me.
''I am the mighty lion, king of this room, and I will rescue my friend from your evil clutches, you attractive witch,'' I said, but all they heard was this, ''Waaw, avaba. Ahh, aba aaah.'' I started to slowly crawl towards them as the lights flashed, pushing myself up after each time I fall on my face. I ignored them, calling out, ''you could do it, don't give up, your almost there and awws'' near the end. I finally reached my buddy, and I hugged him. Thankfully no one knows what I said, and I planned to keep it that way. I'll find a way to destroy all the photos somehow.

Unknown to Ben, Naomi not only took pictures, she is also recording it all, and Aphrodite planned to show it to all her friends, servants, and other goddesses in their monthly spa get-together. They're all be jealous of her having the cutest baby ever.
Aphrodite Pov:
''Do you think this is enough pictures, Aphrodite?'' Athena asked after taking the last few pictures; she gave the camera to Brianna to show Aphrodite.
''Hmm, I think so. It should be fine.'' Aphrodite looked over Brianna's shoulder, watching the pictures go by. Some are good, others are perfect, while a few of them could have been better, but she wouldn't say that out loud. She's not crazy enough to say that, not after saying that to a different goddess. Nemesis couldn't even take criticism well.
''Thanks, Athena, you make good photos. Now let's...'' She trailed off, really looking at Athena. She just noticed two strings coming from her.
Once she followed their path, it led to Brianna, which she wasn't surprised by, but the other one, she is surprised about. She followed its path, going down to the floor and it was... connected to her son.
She blinked a few times, ignoring the questioning looks Athena sends her when she looks at Athena and back to her little boy. A thought popped into her head, 'Could I use this to my advantage?' She remembered what she saw when she left Athena alone with Ben and the reaction she gave when he sucked on her finger.
Could she use this to make the proud Athena finally fall and realize what love is? Maybe she could give it a little nudge? Not a big one though, the last time she did that, it ruined Priapu's chance with Hestia. Though she made sure he would never have an opportunity to do anything like it again with anyone.
'Would Hestia be better? She is nice, and she deserves someone that would love her for putting up with all of our crap throughout the years. I'll wing it and let it happen without interfering, much. I wonder what Athena's and Hestia's children would look like? No, no, Aphrodite. Don't think ahead. You need to plan it out...maybe a June/July wedding? I bet their child would look so cute, though. Ooh, it'll be good.'
Ben's Pov:
I perked up in joy, finally happy that this will end when I got picked up by someone. I turned to look up at Katherine as she looks down at me; I tried to grab her hair to put into my mouth, and she smirks and starts to play keep away, bringing her hair back and forth, away from my chubby fingers. I giggled in joy, and her smirk softens a little. I kept an ear on everyone's conversation, just in case.
''What?'' Athena questioned, noticing the look Aphrodite is giving her and Ben. She then looked down at herself and thought, 'Does she want me to model with him?' She looked at Ben's costume and imagined herself wearing a more extensive lion costume. She wouldn't put it past Aphrodite to make her dress up as a slutty lion with a short skirt or something similar.
Aphrodite was about to respond when everyone heard a stomach growl. They all turned to look at the sound. They saw me and Katherine paused in mid-game. I looked up at Katherine, thinking it was her, but she was looking down at me. I just blinked and moved my head to look at everyone else.
The room was quiet as Katherine could see the weird looks they were sending her. She quickly spoke up, ''That was Benjamin's stomach growling, not mine. That was pretty loud. Maybe he's hungry from all that modeling.''
''Aw~, is someone hungry? Come here, baby, mommy will feed you.'' Aphrodite said, reaching towards him as Katherine reluctantly handed him over. ' I could use this.' She thought devilishly, giving a secret signal to Katherine to record this.
I giggled at Aphrodite, happy that I can raise my skills quickly and drink that delicious milk. Don't judge me; the milk is beyond heavenly, and if I can make my mom's relationship meter to 100, then I would have someone that would have my back, and I would most likely get something special out of it.
I felt myself drooling as Aphrodite pulled strings from the back of her neck with Naomi pulling a chair up for her to sit down. I'm surprised that Aphrodite isn't wearing a bra, but I remember she put one on. That is strange, but I didn't complain at all. It made it easier for me to drink, so I don't mind. They were firm and a pretty decent size as well, at least from what I could tell. They might look bigger than last time, but it is hard to know since I'm tiny.
''Here you go, sweetie. Drink up.'' Aphrodite cooed until my lips were pressed into her impressive breast so no one could fault my following behavior as I breathed in the aroma of her body coming off her. I started sucking, and my skill, Sucker of Breasts activated.
Aphrodite started to coo, feeling good. Her eyes are fluttering from the simulations, and as she suspected, she felt her panties starting to become a little moist.
I felt her milk land on my tongue; it's better than the most delicious chocolate dipped in the sweetest of strawberries and better than sex combined. I impulsively sucked harder, which made her start to moan louder.
'Why does it taste better than the last time I drank this? Maybe she changed or added something?' I shrugged in my head, dismissing all thoughts, focusing on drinking.
She started to squirm, feeling heat build up in her lower body. She felt her body stiffening up and her ass clenching, trying not to dislodge Ben from nursing with how she kept fidgeting.
"Ooh~," Aphrodite cooed as she rubbed her legs together and bit her lip, trying not to put too much pressure on his head. She looked down at him, feeling his joy gushing outwards towards her, and it made her a little light-headed.
"Mmm…" Aphrodite softly moaned, the tingling sensation in her bottom lips growing even stronger the longer he sucks.
Brianna, Alantia, and Naomi started to put the costumes away while trying to ignore them. Katherine began recording the scene and secretly turned towards the unaware Athena, recording her reaction at her mistress's order.
Athena, on the other hand, feels a little uncomfortable at the scene and the loud moans, even if Aphrodite tries to hide it. She could feel herself flushing a little and decided to leave before things get more awkward for her. She soon left in a flash without a word, but before she did, she gave a small smile and nodded to her daughter, who returned it.
Unknown to her, before she left, Aphrodite opened one eye and used her power, giving a little nudge to the string, making it a little bigger and brighter. Just enough to get Athena to think about him once in a while.
It won't happen anytime soon, but eventually, she would be curious about him and would pay attention to him when he's all grown up, maybe.
After that, she received an unexpected orgasm. A lightning bolt of pleasure struck her and made every inch of her beautiful body tremble in absolute bliss. She could feel herself gushing out from her lower lips, staining her panties and the chair she's sitting on.
She slumped down in the rocking chair as her brain was overloaded from the pleasure. She shivered a little, feeling light-headed. Somehow she still held on to Ben through all that.
"That was nice," Aphrodite muttered as she looked down at him. She gently rubbed his head.
I blinked and sucked one last time, making her give a slight shudder as I did so. I let go, feeling satisfied and full, yet I wanted more still. I looked at the other breast and was about to reach for it when Gamer Mind activated, forcing me to pause.
When I regain my calm, I broke out in cold sweat, realizing that I became addicted to drinking her milk. If the skill didn't activate, I would have kept drinking and drinking until I either died or became a slave to her milk like a junkie wanting their next fix.
I looked at Aphrodite in fear, wondering if she knew about this or is ignorant about the side effects. She gave me to Naomi, who grabbed me in confusion as we watch her tied her top back on. Aphrodite shakily stood up, her legs a little weak as she took a few hesitant steps.
She frowned thoughtfully and pulled out a needle from somewhere, grabbing my hand, opening it as she's bringing the needle closer. I squirmed, trying to get my hand away, but she held it firmly.
She poked my finger, drawing a drop of blood. I started crying as a reflex to the pain, ''Waahh~, waah.''
Aphrodite relaxed, seeing red blood instead of gold blood. ''Thank goodness,'' She started to explain when she noticed the worried looks she's getting, ''When I breast fed my other children, I never had an orgasm. It was weird when that almost happened once, but a second time?'' She shook her head, ''I suspected that my little Benny-Poo got switched with a god, who wanted some of this. It's hard to sense their divine energy when they hide it. It almost happened when I had twins, and one of them was replaced with a certain messenger god. Luckily I sensed his desire and lust.'' She made the needle disappear as she moved to take back her child.
''Ohh~." They all nodded, knowing that some gods would do that, *cough Apollo, Hermes, Zeus, Poseidon cough cough* and Naomi handed him back to her.
She brought him closer and rested his head on her breast, over her heart, and used her powers to calm him down by humming a lullaby, ''Hmm, hmm, hhmm~.''
I kept crying, trying to move my arms and legs. I suddenly blinked a few times as I felt my eyes become sleepy as the pain slowly stops. I felt Aphrodite pushing her emotions towards me, making me feel safe. Before I fell asleep, I saw a new window open up.

Thank the gods. I don't feel tired anymore. I'll close my eyes pretending to sleep. I wondered what would have happened if I failed a quest. Would I get some XP or none at all? Now I know, if I completed some of the objectives, I can get some reward. I wonder what I can do with this broken katana. I'll think about it later.
I snuggled closer to Aphrodite, inhaling her scent. It's making me all light-headed, and I feel safe for some reason. I snuggled even closer, and I could feel myself drooling a bit.
They all stayed silent as Aphrodite kept humming a soft toon. Aphrodite rubbed my head as she started moving towards somewhere.
I peeked a little and saw her going to my crib. She gently set me down on my back, covering me with a blanket over my chest, and she slowly stopped humming. She took a napkin, dabbing my mouth lightly, then wiped her shoulder covered in my drool.
Katherine and Alantia turned off all the lights as Brianna put the costumes away. Naomi looked over the pictures taken before she turned off the camera and took out the memory card. Aphrodite snapped her fingers, making everything and everyone disappeared.
She soon turned back to me, putting my buddy next to me, and I felt her kissing my head softly, ''Sleep well, my son.'' Aphrodite soon left in a flash, and I was all alone. I rubbed my eyes and hugged my friend, falling asleep.
Aphrodite Pov :
Aphrodite soon arrived back in her temple, where she laid down on her bed, complimenting what happened back in her son's room.
She felt complicated emotions about what happened; on the one hand, hurting her baby to find out if he's her child and not some god in disguise made her feel disgusted with the gods. Being the most beautiful is a gift and a curse.
On the other hand, the pleasure he gave her made her worried for him. If other goddesses find out, they would most likely capture him and keep him as a toy for their pleasure for however long he lives. Not to mention he won't last long with all the jealous gods out there, willing to curse/kill him if they find out.
Aphrodite twirled a finger in her hair, thinking of how to hide his talents. She could take it away from him, but could she do that?
A dark voice whispered in her ears, 'You could always keep him for yourself. He gave you something not many gods or humans could give, and if he grows up, he'll most likely make it better. All the pleasure you could ever want is in front of you; all you have to do is take it.'
She shook her head, trying to get rid of it, but it persisted, like a shadow. How could it not, when it was her voice that spoke to her, 'You could keep him and have one of your servants raise him for you. No one would know, other than the servants, but they can be silenced if needs be. You could make a copy of him and he could 'perish' in a few months. SIDS are a thing after all. Not even Athena would know anything is wrong.'
''No, I couldn't. I can't...'' Aphrodite spoke softly, wavering a little. The voice captivated on that and said, 'Why not? Your not what people would call virtuous. You do anything and anyone you want. Why would this be any different than what you did in the past? Remember Adonis?'
Aphrodite winced at that. It was a different time for her. Back then, she was new to the world and all the emotions it brings; love and lust, such intoxicating emotions, capable of corrupting even the most innocent of people to fall. Not to mention a new goddess, barely alive for a few seconds.
She got drunk on the lust and satisfaction that people found her sexy and the pleasure it brought when she made love. She changed, though, after fighting Persephone for Adonis's attention and watching him spend two-thirds of his time with her; she felt jealous for the first time. She hated that feeling, and when he died, she felt heartbroken, though she didn't know what the emotion was called back then.
She couldn't do that to her innocent child; there is someone out there waiting for him, for everyone, and hopefully... for her. She hated Zeus when he cursed her to fall for a mortal, but it felt nice. Even though it was fake, she felt happy for a time.
Sadly, she wouldn't hold her breath on finding it, not with her reputation.
The voice in her head persisted still, getting a darker tone than before, 'Do you want your child to feel the same heartbreak like every other demi-god? You know more than anyone that demi-gods falling in love never has a happy ending; not even Perseus had a happy ending. Although people think he did, you know the truth, don't you? You know what truly became of them.'
Aphrodite sighed sadly, and she remembered how it happened. She could feel the love of anyone, even if she's a million miles away.
She was rooting for them to have a glorious love that people would talk about forever, but when she felt how Perseus's love for Andromeda dwindled and died.
She rushed over, dropping everything and what she saw shocked her to her core.
She found Zeus in bed with Andromeda, breaking her maidenhood, not even sparing Perseus from his affairs.
When Zeus found his son and her there, he quickly forced everyone there to make a vow on the river of Styx to keep this quiet and never speak of it again.
He also threatened her that if she didn't force them to love each other again nor speak of this to anyone, he'd kill all of her children, no matter their age. She complied in fear and kept the secret since, amongst other misdeeds throughout his rule.
'Do you want Zeus or the other gods to do the same thing to your child or your other children? You could let him experience life and take him for yourself when he's older. You could hide him somewhere safe and stay with him forever. He'll never have to feel anything other than your love. Think about it... before it's tooo late~...' It trailed off in a whisper in the end.
Aphrodite sat up against the headboard and pulled her knees together, hugging them. She stared off into space, not paying attention to anything, deep in thought. If anyone were there with her, they would have seen her eyes glowed gold for just a moment and disappeared, going back to purple.
? Pov:
Down below, in the dark abyss, a sinister voice laughed in delight. It scared all the monsters, forcing them to flee for their lives. It soon ended in a chuckle as the thing thought, 'Good, good. My influence on the gods, demigod and the mortals are growing stronger with each piece my minions bring back. They thought they could seal me away forever? Fools, the lot of them, after all, Evil always finds a way.'
Peeping Lv 5- 5% chance watch the opposite sex without them noticing your gaze on their body or getting caught
Author's note:
I had this thought that since all the male gods have sex with random women most of the time, it's possible that they could cuckold the demigods who dates mortals. It could happen.
As for the last part, I remember how Ares was influenced by Kronos in the book series and decided why could the other gods/goddesses too. For example, ? influencing Zeus, who ate his first wife to stop her from having a child more powerful than him, like father like son. No one did anything to him, much to my confusion, and I searched, but I couldn't find anything at all. Other than Hephaestus splitting open his skull, but it allowed Athena to be born. Hera deals with Zeus's children by trying to kill them instead of putting a belt on him. Poseidon and Athena's situation with Medusa. Where instead of helping her, Athena made Medusa ugly as revenge against Poseidon. That part confused me.
