Kaleidoscope

Ch. 1 - Prologue

The skies were quiet in the early morning as he flew toward Zeus and Hera's. He had just come across Persephone who asked him to deliver a message to Hera. He enjoyed the quiet mornings before the world exploded with noise and activity. Gleaming buildings, expansive roads, and sprawling gardens spread out below him. The biggest garden sat just ahead filled with fruits, vegetables, and flowers.

Hera took pride in the quality of her garden and took every chance she could to bond with Persephone while working on it. She, however, was not outside at this time of morning, and so he flew down landing on the top step of pristine concrete steps. A little voice welcomed him with brightness.

"Hermes! Hi! Did you bring me a message?" He couldn't help but laugh at Hebe's excitement.

"Your Aunt and Uncle wish to bid you hello and for me to give you this and not let your parents know they are giving you candy again." Her eyes lit up as he passed her the chocolate from Hades and Persephone. He was always happy to sneak her candy even if Hera and Zeus would have his head if they knew he had brought it.

"It will be our little secret." She hid the candy in her dress pocket quickly so as not to give him away.

"Is your Momma here little one?" She looked up at him and nodded little giggles falling from her lips.

"Yep. She's showing around her new assistant. She's really pretty, she has rainbow hair!" She held out her hand to him and he gently grasped it with his own. "Just wait until you see her." She skipped as she led him inside the beautiful house. As always it was spotlessly clean. The grand staircase case was lustrous in the light that shone down from the resplendent chandelier above.

"Momma, Hermes is here!" Here called up the stairs as she rushed to go hide her candy in her room. Hera appeared at the top of the staircase. Her golden skin was flawless, and her hair was piled atop her head in a beautiful hairdo, she was every bit the word queen, regal and elegant, and he would never understand the way Zeus treated her.

His breath caught as another woman appeared following Hera. She was the most beautiful goddess he had ever seen. Her skin was a snowy white and her iridescent hair, half up, half down, hung just past her shoulders with soft curls. As the light shone down on it, it glimmered with soft pastel rainbows. Just looking upon her made his heart skip a beat. He needed to know who she was.

"Hermes always a pleasure. What can I do for you this wonderful morning?" He couldn't find his voice at first, as captivated as he was by this woman whom he had never met. It took him a minute to clear his head and throat.

"Oh...um...um...yes. Persephone...she...she sent me with a message that she would be by later today to help you with your garden." A knowing smile graced her face as her eyes slid from him to her companion.

"Thank you, Hermes, that is much appreciated. Please allow me to introduce my newest assistant, Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, Messenger of the Gods, and Carrier of the Water of the River Styx. She will be assisting me as she learns more of her Goddess etiquette." A shy blush painted the maiden's cheek as Hera introduced her.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you, dear Hermes. I have heard many a story about you." He softly took her hand in his, drawn to her like a magnet, butterflies fluttering him his stomach, and gently kissed it, the skin silken beneath his lips. Her smell was intoxicating, like that of the fresh air, just after the rain, and the wind blowing through a meadow of wildflowers.

"I assure you the pleasure is mine fair Iris. I hope all the stories have been good. I am surprised as a fellow messenger that I have not had the great privilege to meet you before." Her eyes held his fast as he spoke glistening with happiness. They were colored with the hues of the rainbows over which she dwelled, but they also held white cracks through the color that reminded him of the lightning that sparked during storms.

"I'm afraid I have lived most of my life in the mortal realm, only coming here to bring messages from the mortals and to carry water from the River Styx for oaths made by the gods. Maybe our paths will cross more often while I am here." She smiled beaming as bright as the sun and his attraction to her grew.

"I would like that very much." He responded as he squeezed the hand that he still had not released from his tender hold. "I apologize, I must be on my way. Have a wonderful day ladies. I will let Persephone know I delivered her message." He could still smell Iris's scent as he flew away from the mansion. He didn't know what this feeling was that had engulfed him, but he knew he wanted more of it.
