"So let me get this straight." Thalia spoke out to clarify and fathom the being in front of her.
That being is Lady Chaos.
"You've felt a disturbance in your realm, decided to investigate it, found this place, and decided to live here?" Asked Artemis' lieutenant.
Yes. Answered the mother of creation. The disturbance I've felt led me here. She explained.
"What could that disturbance be?" It was Artemis that asked this time.
If we take a look at the Hearth goddess beside Hera, you'll see that she was almost glowing because of her blushing cheeks.
I don't know what it was. Thankfully, Lady Chaos was not a snitch. By the time I reached this place, the disturbance was gone.
Cue Percy Jackson walking into the room, who just came out of the shower. He gave all the ladies an eyeful of eye candy, with almost all of them blushing at his chiseled body.
Nice body, Percy.
"You're doing that voice again." Pointed out the demigod.
"Sorry." Replied the primordial as the deeper, chaotic voice vanished. "It's hard to control my voice especially in the morning."
Percy, who have put on a shirt, much to the disappointment of the girls spoke once again. "So what are you guys doing here so early in the morning?"
"Hestia dragged me here." Answered the goddess of matrimony.
"I wanted to play some games with my sister." Followed Hestia.
"I live here." Both Lady Chaos and Zoë answered.
"Lady Artemis said she needs me to come with her." Thalia responded.
"I wanted to check up on Zoë." Reasoned the moon goddess. Zoë chimed in after the goddess spoke out. "But Milady, we were IM'ing last night."
Laughter from the others ensued, as the said goddess turned golden from embarrassment. "Alright fine! I'm just bored and I didn't have anything to do back at the hunt."
"How about training the girls?" Asked Percy.
"They can train themselves." Was the swift reply of the goddess.
"Milady just wanted to go here and hangout." Commented Thalia. "She even wanted to sneak out once again. I just caught her and asked what she was doing." With the lieutenant's comment, her facade was shattered even further.
"Okay fine!" Exclaimed the embarrassed goddess. "I wanted to play Minecraft. There! Are you guys happy now?!" Asked the annoyed moon goddess.
"It's not hard to be honest." The primordial quipped. "What are we doing today Percy?"
"I don't really know..." Muttered the demigod before remembering the art exhibit Zoë told him about. "Hey Zoë, isn't it your exhibit today?" He asked the former lieutenant.
"How'd you know?" Asked Zoë.
"You asked for my help last time, remember?" Explained the son of Poseidon. "I helped you pick clothes for that event."
"I didn't think you'd remember, but I guess I was wrong." Said the daughter of Atlas. "Do you want to take a look at my school's art exhibit?"
"I'm cool with it." Percy answered. "How about you guys?" Seeing that the women all nodded in agreement, Percy muttered to himself. "Alright. Go ahead and change to something casual. Les us meet back here in 15 minutes."
Once that fifteen minutes has passed, everyone has assembled back at the living room, with the exception of Percy.
"So, you guys are ready?" Asked the demigod as he exited his room. "You all look stunning." He complimented as he studied their attire.
Zoë wore the black dress that Percy chose for her, showing off her curves. Besides the former lieutenant was the current lieutenant Thalia, wearing a blue sundress with silver linings. To the left of Zoë was Artemis, who was wearing a silver spaghetti dress that matched her eyes. Across them were Hestia, Hera, and Lady Chaos. The goddess of the hearth elected to wear a simple brown jacket over her red shirt, as well as denim jeans. Hera was casually dressed as well, wearing a green shirt over her black overcoat, and black slacks.
It was the primordial who looked outlandish with her outfit choice. She wore a black ball gown that were littered with red outlines, which made her stand out.
"Lady Chaos, you stand out too much." Commented the demigod as his eyes landed on her.
"I don't know what to wear, so I just picked the dress I last saw when I visited." Replied the woman as her mind shifted to the thoughts of the last she visited Earth.
"The last time you visited Earth was back when Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite had a beauty pageant, which spelled the doom of Troy." Pointed out Hestia. "That was a long time ago Lady C."
Unsure of what to wear, she asked the son of Poseidon about what to wear. "What do you think should I wear?"
"You ask them, Milady." Replied the demigod. "They're all girls, I'm sure they can help you pick something."
"This is neat." Thalia exclaimed as she toured the art gallery. "You guys are really talented, I can't even draw to save my life." She praised the former lieutenant for her art skills.
"If you're interested, why not enroll in my school too?" Zoe questioned.
"Hold on Zoe, I need my lieutenant by my side." Chimed the goddess of the moon. The said goddess then notices a painting of two people looking towards the moon and the sea. Walking closer towards it, she asks her friend. "This is beautiful Zoe. Who made this?"
"I did." Answered the teen. "That was the first painting I made. The art professor wanted us to paint something that is close to our hearts, which resulted to me making this one." The brunette said as she fondly touched the said painting. "It reminds me of the time when Percy and I were tasked with rescuing you." Zoe states. "It was one night, I was on the verge of tears as I'm fearing the worst. Percy came and said that if I ever lost my way, the moon is there to guide me. Ever since then, when I feel lost or unsure about something, I look up the moon and seek your guidance." She smiled towards the goddess as she finished speaking.
"You must really like him huh?" Artemis said to her, which made the daughter of Atlas confused.
"What do you mean Milady?"
"Him." The goddess points out to the son of Poseidon, who's looking at other paintings with the other goddesses beside him.
"I guess I do." Zoë replied. "Though I don't think I have a chance. I'm up against goddesses that see him the same way as I do."
"Goddesses?" Asked the goddess of the hunt. "What do you mean by that?"
"Lady Hestia clearly loves him." Spoke the former lieutenant. "Lady Hera is conflicted, but interested too. She wouldn't come to his place if she isn't." The daughter of Atlas then points to the primordial. "Even Lady Chaos likes him, and you can see that in her actions."
The goddess, observing the quartet from afar, agreed with the sentiments of her friend. "You're right, they all seem to gravitate to him in one way or another."
Hearing her mistress' reply, she smirked and muttered her next sentence. "Even you." Knowing that the goddess heard her, she walked towards the quartet, leaving the goddess of the hunt confused.
"Huh?"
"She totally got you with that one, Lady Artemis." Her half sister remarked as she laughed and followed the former lieutenant, leaving the confused goddess alone.
Slowly understanding what the two meant, the goddess' cheeks slowly changed into gold as the events of their date played out on her head. "I don't like him at all!" She exclaimed as she ran towards the group.
Reaching the group, Percy noticed the said goddess. "You look tired Milady, what happened?" The son of Poseidon asked with worry.
Artemis just walked past him.
"Girl troubles?" Questioned Lady Chaos as she noticed what happened between the two.
"I don't think so..." The demigod trailed off. "I don't even know what I did, I just asked her about what happened." Shrugging, the teen then speaks once again. "If she doesn't want to talk about it, I'll respect her wishes." The son of Poseidon then looks at a technological recreation of Van Gogh's Starry Night. "This painting reminds me of her." Smiling, the savior of Olympus explains further. "Anything that screams the moon makes me think of Lady Artemis. I mean who wouldn't? It's her domain. But to me, the stillness, serenity, and the beauty of the moon in the sky, even if surrounded by thousands of stars."
"How does that remind you of her?" The primordial inquires.
"She's strong, calm, and the radiant glow of her face every time I see her smile, it's just too similar to me."
"Sounds like you're down bad for her." Quipped the Lady. "Why not ask her out? It's not like you're unattractive."
"Even if I was Adonis, or the most attractive being on the planet, I don't think she likes me that way." The demigod answered back. "Besides, there's her vow, which I'm sure forgoes the company of men if I recall correctly."
The primordial nods to his words. "Well you still can shoot your shot. I don't think the goddess will outright reject you." She speaks out. "Besides, Hestia already devoted herself to you, she's almost as prude as the goddess of the hunt before meeting and hanging out with you."
"I don't know..." Muttered the teen. "I can't even sort my feelings with Hestia."
"You're gonna have to sort it out soon." The being of creation replied. "What happens if you can't choose then? I don't think the hearth goddess is your only problem."
"I don't want things to change." Argued Percy. "I want all of us to get along, if that means I'll have to forgo my feelings so no one would get hurt, then I would."
"You think acting that way will not hurt them?" Asked the oldest primordial. "By keeping the status quo, you're going to hurt more and more people." She explained.
"What if I don't want to pick?"
"You're going to have to explain that to them." Answered the mother of creation. "It's better to be honest with them. It will only come to two things: You either get castrated by the goddess of the hunt, or they'll share you. You never know~" The lady teases.
"If push comes to shove, I might do that." The demigod responded. Looking at his watch, he notices that they've spent too much time looking at one particular piece of painting. "Come Milady, we've spent too much time here. The others are probably waiting for us." He said to her as they both went to where the others are.
In the back of the recreated painting that the demigod adored, was the goddess of the hunt.
"Zoë, can you help me locate the sculptures?" The goddess of the hearth asked as she approached the former lieutenant.
"Sure Lady Hestia, it's this way." She pointed out as the two of them walked to the sculpture section. While walking, the former huntress noticed that the goddess was looking at her. Deciding to ask about it, she spoke out. "Is there something on me, Lady Hestia?"
"No, not really!" Exclaimed the goddess as she waved her hands to dismiss the fact. "Your dress looks nice." Commented Hestia.
"Thank you Lady Hestia." Zoë answered with gratitude. "It was Percy who picked this one for me."
"Percy huh? I can totally see that." Thankful that she didn't have to think about a way to break the ice, the goddess of the hearth asked out. "So what do you think about Percy?"
"He's cool." The hesperide replied. "He's a really cool person to spend time with. He's very caring, thoughtful, and he looks hot."
"Do you like him?" Asked the goddess. "It sounds to me that you do."
Blushing at the sudden question, the former lieutenant answered meekly. "Yes Lady Hestia, I do like him." She pauses, gathering her thoughts. "After all, who wouldn't? He's every woman's dream. It's sad to see that Annabeth chose someone else over him." Explained Zoë. "I think even Milady Artemis has feelings for him, she just rejects it as she doesn't know how to deal with it."
The goddess giggles as she agrees with the huntress. "I agree. She just doesn't know to deal with her feelings."
"It's not just her..." Zoë trails off. "I think I know of someone else who does."
"Who?"
"You, Lady Hestia." Seeing the surprised face of the goddess, the huntress speaks once more. "I know you like him too. I see the way you act around him Milady."
"You knew?"
"Who wouldn't know?" The hesperide asked back. "But why ask me about my feelings?"
"I just wanted to know..." The goddess replied as they reached the sculptures. "And I wanted to ask you. What would you do if Percy cannot choose?" Asked Hestia as she examined one of the statues, a mother holding her child.
"I'm fine with that." Surprised once again, the goddess asked her to elaborate, which she did. "His fatal flaw ensures me that he won't turn his back on me. I know that he will do his best to treat us right."
"Are you saying that-"
"We share him?" Zoë finishes the goddess' sentence. "Percy's too much of a precious person for me to stop him from choosing who to be with. But if that bloke really can't decide, then I think sharing him with others are fine. We both know that Percy cares for the both of us, but he's a bit of a blockhead when it comes to things like this."
"That he is." Hestia giggled at her words. "When do you plan to tell him your feelings?"
"Later." Repsonded the daughter of Atlas. "I planned to even before having with talk with you, Lady Hestia."
"Just Hestia." Said the goddess with a warm smile. "After all, you're going to become my sister-wife at some point."
"So, Hestia, would you like to check the flower arrangements that my friends created?"
"Sure!"
I'm Back.
