Chapter 7

Gathering Forces


You would think that after finding out your a goddess life would get easier, yeah? Well you are wrong. Life just became that little bit more harder. I guess I should really start listening to that saying that says ' if things can get harder, they will get harder. ' I mean it just happened, my life couldn't just be: me being mortal getting blasted to the past. Oh, no I also had to be turned into a damned goddess. See easier and easier. Right. But well, the only reason I tell you this is because when we showed up to where Zeus allies gather I almost got beaten up, the only thing that saved me was Poseidon of course. Life just got a lot more harder.


The first thing I saw as I woke up was the sun's rays on my face. Well I guess I should say, Helios rays now. Either way that was the first thing I saw, then I heard the gods they seemed to be arguing again. I stood up slowly, to make sure nothing was actually broken. "We can't take her to our allies!" Someone exclaimed. Seems I'm going to be the topic for a few days. "Your allies Zeus. You seem to forget they still don't trust us." "He does have a point brother." "And either way, we can't leave her behind." "Hera your supposed to be on my side." " I'm not supposed to anything. I'm in the side of winning, second you seem to forget our father is after her. It obviously means she's important in some way, even if we don't know it." "Then she's comes with us!" "Fine!" Couldn't they at least wait till I was outside for that. Poseidon seem to be the first one to realize I was awake; which I still found strange how attune to me he seem to be and I to him. He smiled and I couldn't help the blushed that rose to my cheeks. I had no idea what exactly made me act like this around him. Perhaps it was what the Fates had said? But what did they mean I would loose what matter the most to me? There was few things I feared losing... Unless, no they wouldn't, would they? For if there was one thing I have always feared losing that was... My freedom.

When we reached the place where Zeus forces were gathered, I realized it was Mount Olympus. According to Hestia it had taken longer because of me, but that they didn't mind because their allies didn't really trust the gods a clear exception being Zeus. Still being surprised by what I learned earlier, I started walking away alone. That when I realize I run into a few Deities, I've never either met or heard of in myths. "Who do you think you are? You think you can just walk towards us? We are gods you pathetic thing." I blinked surprised by the anger in the goddess? voice. It was strange, that just by walking i had deities mad at me left and right. When before it would having been strange if anyone actually talked to me even to say bad things. It troubled me, and made me wonder if I would ever not be surprised. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to cause any trouble." As I turned to walk away I notice for the first time I was surrounded. I should have been paying more attention, I bitterly scolded myself. The deities started closing in on me, one of them even raising some kind of staff. Instantly I knew it would hurt, that staff packed one hell of a blast. Of course I was saved by Poseidon thankfully. No that I would ever admit how afraid I had been! "What is the meaning of this?" No one answered him. "She's of limits. Anyone who attacks her is indirectly attacking me. Is that understood? She's under my protection!" Many scoffed but said nothing, for even if they didn't admit it, they knew how deadly Poseidon was now. "Thank you." I smiled and he smiled back. What I at the time didn't see was the looked he gave me as I turned around. But that looked made many shiver for even they had no idea what it meant. Only one thing was sure, it would cause a lot of trouble for me in the future.
