Happy Easter. Have a Happy and Safe One.
Chapter .3.
Isiabel appears in a side chamber to the Throne Room. Zeus also appears looking furious.
"Brother hear me out. If you punish Apollo everything we have worked towards will unravel", Isiabel tells her brother before he could fly into a fury.
"How so?" Zeus growls
Nothing could be so bad that he would not punish Apollo.
"Apollo would die if you punish him. Jason even through changed into a God will die. Dozens of Romans will be killed. Not just Legions but Citizens that have earned their right to rest. Artemis will slowly unravel without the bond to her twin. And likely with his death go insane or fade to join him. Even through they act like they can't stand each other. They still hold a bond in each others hearts. Is Artemis dies, fades or goes insane that will leave the Hunt without a Goddess. That means Artemis's blessing would disappear and the Hunters would become mortal. Thalia would then die within two years off this while still trying to keep the Hunt together", Isiabel explains to her brother
Just to prove her point she shows him the visions of the destiny of what would happen if Apollo was punished.
The scenes were dark and grim. Apollo dying an agonizing death by the python and Nero. Artemis losing the will to live and crumbling into nothing. Or Artemis going completely insane and catatonic and staying in that state in the infirmary before she faded after many centuries of suffering into nothing.
The scenes of the Hunt's blessing fading with Artemis death or insanity. The Hunters being killed off. And Thalia dying slowly being mauled by a Drakon. As the Hunters die with their Goddess and Patron.
The scenes of New Rome on fire. Woman, Child, Mothers, Fathers, Daughters, Sons and so on dying in the very City that was meant to keep them safe and give them a life. The Legion being overwhelmed, even with Praetor Zhang, and the others leading them and New Rome and Camp Jupiter falling to the Triumvirate.
Scenes of horror and enslavement follow. And the remaining demigods turning on the parents that abandoned them to misery.
But then Isiabel changes the strings of destiny to show her Little Brother what would happen if he didn't do his current plan.
Scenes of them all working together to stop the Triumvirate. The Gods now fighting united side-by-side with their children. Rebuilding the breach between the Gods and their children. Ancient Laws changed and discarded. Which leads to the demigods not turning against them and being happy to serve their parents. And having the bonds with them as they should have been all along. The love reforming between parents and their demigod child.
The Council of the 13 Olympians changing. With the Thrones of Hestia, Hades, Persephone, Amphitrite, Karmanor, Ariadne, Bellona, Janus, Hecate, Thanatos, Perseus and Nico added. Bringing the bonds of family back to them.
Resentment is lifted by the New Council. And the bonds that had been broken for centuries and probably from the very start heal.
Marriages that end up bringing harmony. The marriage of Perseus and Annabeth mending the breach and bond between Poseidon and Athena as they finally put the past behind them. The marriage of Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque giving happiness to Pluto/Hades. And the marriage of his son Nico bringing even more happiness into his family. Leo and Calypso's marriage bringing in peace with the peaceful Titans and the Olympians. Jason finding his soulmate. Piper finding hers and mending more bridges of the family. Apollo finding his soulmate and marrying the daughter of Demeter. Finally making him happy and helping him fully resolve things with Artemis.
All these marriages and unions mending the bridges between the broken families. And the trust between everyone.
New Rome and New Athens growing bigger then stronger then anything before. And New Athens being the crowning achievement of the New Age of the Gods.
Artemis and Apollo having a stronger bond then ever. Them laughing and hunting together like they used too. Apollo playing guitar as Artemis sings along with him. Which they hadn't done since they were little. And Artemis's hatred of males diminishing to being tolerant and to the rare male being friendly.
Zeus, Poseidon and Hades fixing the breach between them. Becoming true brothers as they should have always been.
There was still rivalry between some but it was friendly and no longer nasty and with ill intentions. There was still demigods being born but their step-parents accepting them. As it bought balance back.
Happiness and peace was radiating in these scenes. But it was not just the Divine World prospering but also the Mortal World. Less and less natural disasters happening over time. Crops were flourishing. The previous melting ice caps stabilising. The Forests growing back. Droughts easing. And more animals flourishing rebuilding the species that were going extinct.
Only minor problems coming up. But them finally being united in facing threats together.
The difference between the two destinies was very, very, VERY noticeable. The only thing Isiabel didn't really show was the Cullen's. As their was many ways that it could go. But the strands of destiny were always changing.
Zeus was stunned. With one choice he would either destroy everything or bring prosperity, peace and unity to them all.
Zeus knew Isiabel wouldn't lie to him and make up those visions. But he still had doubts.
"I swear on the River Styx and the Creator of all that those visions I have showed you are some of the many destiny strands currently surrounding us", Isiabel says softly
Thunder Booms and the sky flashes showing the oath by Isiabel as the truth. She making the ultimate oath. One that couldn't be false without the person dying or fading.
"Sister what else have you seen? You didn't show those Godling-Vamps", Zeus says to her.
"Brother there are many destinies as you well know. I just showed you the happiest and the most disastrous destinies I have seen. You know my domains are vast. So every choice has consequences. Choose wisely Little Brother. You hold the main change in ALL our destinies", Isiabel says to him calmly.
Isiabel could see destinies strings weaving into a more concrete path. But many paths could branch out from the decision. Then branch out again and again.
Isiabel turns to leave to go back to her Husband and the rest of the Council and guests. Which she should probably tell Zeus were getting out of control.
"Isiabel", Zeus states stopping her.
"Yes my Lord?" Isiabel asks raising her eyebrow.
"I thank you for once again serving Olympus to the best of your ability and to for the best interests of everyone both Divine and Mortal", Zeus says to her giving his Big Sister a small smile, "You are truly the Oldest and Wisest of us sister. I am honoured you are on our side and eternally grateful. As I am sure everyone would be"
Isiabel's grin comes out full force. She was finally seeing the true Zeus. The Zeus he should have been all along. If everything had been done differently.
"Always Little Brother. I would always be on the side that lets us truly prosper and the path that is truly right for the Divine World as well as the Mortal World", Isiabel says honestly
Zeus nods that was truly the answer he expected.
"Oh Little Brother lets not mention the Dark Path. It will be out secret", Isiabel advisers him
"As say you. This is your domain. If you say as the Goddess of Destinies, Paths and Secrets that this needs to remain a secret then that is what it shall be", Zeus declares
"Good", Isiabel replies
"Will you tell Hermes?" Zeus asks curious
Isiabel laughs, "When I said a secret it will be even from him. He knows the domains I am intrusted with and accepts that. So it is truly between us unless I see it needs to be told"
Zeus nods, "We better get back before they come looking for us. Or those vampires end up in a fight with someone"
"Actually brother that is a already a problem", Isiabel reveals hearing the thoughts and whispers coming from the Hall.
Zeus groans, "Do I want to know?"
"Not really"
Throne Room/Hall of the Gods…
Everyone was nervous as they waited for Zeus and Isiabel to return. But soon conversations broke out around the room. All commenting on what had already happened. A lot were talking about Lady Isiabel being back on Olympus and being actually already caught up.
The Cullen's were experiencing a wide range off emotions. They still couldn't really believe that the Gods where real. That they were actually on the real Olympus. That their Bella was one. And that she was already married.
Carlisle was hoping to talk to Lord Apollo and the other Healing deities out medicine, healing and how the Gods and Demigods treated wounds. He hoped that Lord Apollo would grant him an audience. He also wondered if he would get a chance to talk to Bella or Lady Isiabel. Hoping to find out exactly why she came into his family if she was already married. But then again the Gods had demigod children outside off their marriages. So the Gods marriages must mean something different. He was looking forward to knowing a how new culture. But didn't like the fact that Edward would probably end up getting hurt.
Esme was hoping to talk to the daughter of Athena, Annabeth. To see if she could help with the designs for New Athens and hopefully help design some of the gardens she always liked gardening. Even though she would be learning about the Ancient Greek culture. She also desperately wanted to talk to Bella. She hoped that Bella would talk to her and explain a few things. Surely she must love Edward in some way to be with him.
Emmett has bouncing up and down he was so excited about all of this. He couldn't wait to see if he could spar with the children of Ares. He hoped they would let him. He also wanted to see if Bella would spar with him. After all she was a Goddess and Immortal so she must be tougher then she appeared. Emmett did think all along that Bella and Edward weren't really suited. He was also restricting her movements and all the fun she wanted to have. That was not how things worked. Then again he couldn't really talk with Rosalie and all.
He hears Edward growling at his thoughts.
'Tough luck Eddie. She DOES deserve better then you. Your not suited for each other', Emmett thinks
He hears Edward growling again. Emmett just smirks. He was going to have so much fun with this.
Rosalie was furious. How dare that bitch lie to her family. How dare she just toy with Edward. Where they just a toy for a so-called Goddesses amusement? Yeah right that bitch was an all powerful Goddess. She was weak and not anything like how a Goddess should be. Rosalie just knew she was a daughter of Aphrodite. As she had to get her looks from someone. And Aphrodite was the most beautiful one. She couldn't wait to give that back-stabbing bitch what she deserved. The whore would pay for hurting her family.
Alice was bouncing up and down. She couldn't wait to talk to Bella about fashion. And give Bella a much deserved make over. After all what she wore in Forks wasn't fit for a Goddess. She STILL couldn't believe that Bella was a Goddess and married. Poor Edward. But she just knew that Bella would come back to Edward as they were destined to be together. She had seen it after all! And she was never wrong. So all she had to do was guide Bella away from her so-called husband and back into Edward's arms. Alice was SURE Bella truly loved Edward and she was just being kind to Hermes. After all Bella was too sweet and innocent to do anything bad like leading Edward along. All she needed to do was talk to Bella alone. That should be easy as they were best friends!
Jasper was having trouble with all the emotions in the room. There were so many different emotions. All of them ranging from sadness, happiness, relief, worry, angst, hurt, giddiness (Alice), excitement (Emmett), curiosity (Carlisle & Esme), rage (Rosalie), denial (Edward), happiness, lust and love from who he knew was Lord Hermes. He could feel true feelings off love coming from Lord Hermes. They were so strong. Stronger then those of a vampire. It was really overwhelming. Jasper won't and couldn't be able to manipulate those emotions. Actually all the Gods had very, very, VERY strong emotions coming from them. He couldn't manipulated them even if he tried or wanted too.
He hears Edward growling at his thoughts.
'I am sorry Edward but it seems Lord Hermes is truly in love and devoted with Bel…Lady Isiabel', Jasper thinks to him
"Your wrong she loves me. She is MY soulmate! And she is devoted to ME!" Edward growls lowly to him.
Jasper sighs Edward wasn't going to listen to reason. These emotions were overwhelming him. Until he suddenly couldn't feel them anymore.
'Don't worry Major Jasper Whitlock. I have shielded you from the emotions and protected your thoughts. I could sense you were getting overwhelmed. I do this as your one of the only Cullen's beside Emmett really that I truly respect', he hears Lady Isiabel in his thoughts say.
'How are you going this? Aren't you talking to Lord Zeus?' Jasper thinks hoping she would hear him.
He hears a laugh in his head.
'Jasper, Gods have more abilities to multitask then even Vampires. I AM talking to Zeus. But I can still help you', she says in his head.
'I could feel how much love Lord Hermes has for you. I will not step in your way. I don't like interfering on such true love', Jasper thinks to her
'Thank you Major', she says
'My Lady how does it work you being married and still having…flings with mortals? Actually I should've asked that. Sorry if I offended you', Jasper thinks wincing internally
'I take no offence. I would like to talk you later. But mortal love and vampire love is fleeting Major. Divine Love is for much, much longer then eternity. Hermes and I know we will always return to each other. So we allow each other to have so called 'flings' with mortals. Lets put it this way Edward said he will love me for eternity. Well I have longer', she thinks to him
Jasper thinks on that. That did make since. As far as he knew Gods couldn't die. But vampires could and probably would die much sooner then eternity.
He had a lot to think about. But she had promised him they would talk. And it would be good to talk to someone about everything he was feeling. And he believed Isiabel would be the perfect person to help him.
'It would be my pleasure Major', her voice whispers in his mind.
Jasper internally smiles at that. He was now feeling much more at ease.
Edward growled at most off his families thoughts. Some of them were absurd. Of course Bella loved him. Of course Bella was his soulmate. Of course Bella was devoted to him. And Bella was fragile and delicate. And didn't belong in fighting and she WOULDN'T be sparing with Emmett. She would get hurt! He was happy he didn't have to turn her into a vampire now. They had forever! And of course she didn't love this Hermes he was not worthy of Bella.
That is when he heard Bella's so-called demigod children talking.
"Do you think Mum is going to get in a fight with Lord Zeus like last time?" one asks
"Likely. They do have short tempers sometimes", another says
"Lord Hermes is feeling so happy at the moment. You can tell he really missed his wife a lot", a kid says
"You could see she missed him too. Ewww I don't want to think about my Mum having you-know-what with Lord Hermes after this", the kid say making a face.
Edward growls, "Bella would never do that!"
The kid looks at him raising an eyebrow.
"Mum and Lord Hermes are married and haven't seen each other in a long time. What do you think they would be doing tonight?" the kid asks
"She will be with me", Edward declares firmly
Laughter comes from across the room. Edward turns to glare at the so-called Hermes in his throne and the blonde guy besides him.
"Boy she will be in my bed tonight. And I will be showing her exactly how much I missed her", Hermes says smirking at the stupid little boy vampire.
"She would never do that with you or anyone randomly", Edward declares
Laughter comes from around the room hearing Edward's statement.
"Kid she is the most active off everyone besides Aphrodite, Apollo and Hermes at having demigod kids", Ares booms
"I agree. Brats raise your hands if your Isiabel or Isabela's demigod child?" Dionysus asks
Many children start raising their hands. Over two dozen.
"Legacy's?" Dionysus asks
More raise their hands.
"Oh my", Esme whispers
"That whore", Rosalie growls
The Gods growl at that.
"How dare you insult my Aunt", Athena growls
"You don't even realise who she is too you do you Miss Hale?" Artemis asks smirking
"She is nothing to me. But a bitch that ruined my family and broke my brothers heart", Rosalie growls out.
"She was never the boys soulmate", Aphrodite declares
"She has been with Hermes for a few millennia's", Hephaestus informs them
"Since he was born basically", Hera informs them.
"And they are sicking in love when they want to be. Even worse than my idiot twin", Artemis says
"Hey! This is not about me Arty!" Apollo protests
"Don't call me Arty! And when is it not about you?" Artemis growls
"Take back calling me an idiot again. I am the eldest after all", Apollo says
"For the thousandths time WE ARE TWINS and I HELPED MOTHER BIRTH YOU!" Artemis growls want to strange her so-called twin.
They begin to argue their usual argument.
"Bella loves me", Edward says stubbornly
"Boy you don't know what love is", Aphrodite tells him looking up from her nails.
"I do too. Who are you anyway to question our love?" Edward snaps
"Oh boy. Dionysus maybe you should check him for insanity", Poseidon says to his nephew
Dionysus snorts at that.
"I am not wasting my time", Dionysus replies.
"Mr Cullen my advice is to move on. Take some advice from me the Wisdom Goddess", Athena tells him
"But they are meant to be together I have SEEN it", Alice protests
Laughter again comes from the Gods. Besides Apollo and Artemis who were still arguing.
"I think vampires all are insane. The venom must mess with their minds. Hades, Aphrodite, you two plus my beloved Isiabel created them. Do you mind too much if we swiped them out? I am sure if Isia was here and heard the words they were saying she would vaporise them, well some off them on the spot", Hermes suggests
"Is that a threat?" Rosalie and Edward growl crouching down
"It is a promise if you keep insulting and putting down MY wife", Hermes says glaring at the vampires.
Rosalie and Edward want to launch themselves at the Gods. Even through the Gods were 5 times bigger then them. But Emmett, and Jasper were holding them back. Alice was glaring at the Gods. They would not take her best friend.
"You think she is YOUR best friend?" Athena asks laughing catching the pixie vampires thoughts.
"Well she is", Alice growls
"She has been Artemis and I's best friend since we were born young one. It is time you woke up", Athena replies
Alice goes to launch but Carlisle and Esme hold her back. Seeing the three vampires wanting to attack their parents. The demigods start to draw their weapons.
Ares was smirking ready for a nice bloody fight. To him you couldn't get too many blood, messy fights.
Artemis and Apollo were still arguing between them. About who was older and the 'Arty' nickname.
Dionysus and Poseidon where making bets about the likely fights. Taking some enjoyment out of the situation.
Athena was watching the chaos and trying to decide if it was wise to step in.
Aphrodite was fighting with Hephaestus about affairs that they have had. Also about the reason she had ever made vampires with Hades and Isiabel
Hera was trying to stop herself from vaporizing the stupid vampires who dare insult her family.
Demeter was arguing with Hades again about Persephone (Who was trying to break their fight up). But Hades was still glad he was here for this. If council meetings was this interesting he could probably put up with Demeter more just for the none stop entertainment.
Hermes was getting out of his throne ready to shrink done and fight those who dare claim and insult his wife.
The None Council members were picking a side to join. Which was basically the side defending Lady Isiabel.
Hestia was trying to calm everyone down and was getting one off a Gods rare headaches. When she noticed two people walking into the Hall.
One was looking amused but slightly annoyed at her husband. But amused at everyone else but the vampires which she had a mixed looked at.
The male looked more annoyed then the woman and even through he just arrived back in, he looked already completely over this and drained.
"Can't we leave you alone for one hour without dozens of fights breaking out?" the woman asks
"What the HADES is going on here!?" the man yells
"Stop using my name as a curse word!"
Hestia sighs this was why she got off the Council.
The woman smirks at some of her families thoughts. The decisions she and her brother have made were going to make for some more drama.
She wondered if her Little Brother was going to be able to handle it.
Considering he looked about ready to explode didn't bode well for the rest off the meeting. She figured it was a 40 – 60 chance of him exploding before they finished everything…
