The news of my new "goddesshood" had already reached Olympus. On the way, Zeus and Hera had already thought of a party to celebrate the new goddess. They chattered about it all the way long. I and Apollo shared his chariot and he told me that soon I would get a chariot too.

"So, parties are organised every time there's god here?" I asked Apollo. We were taking a long way back, because apparently, Hera had some important things to sort out with Zeus but I could sense it was about me because now knowing I was goddess over love and beauty I knew why Zeus gave me that creeping feeling, also why apparently everyone kept staring at me.

"Gods are not usually .. appointed like you, Aphrodite," he said, " Mostly we're born from our mothers and have certain abilities, which we sharpen during our training. Except for Athena, she too came out fully grown out of Zeus's head, but being the goddess of wisdom she already knew everything."

"So who is your mother?" I cocked my head to one side, but Apollo flinched back hearing this and closed his eyes. I understood it was something bad he didn't want to talk about. I shifted over to his seat and kept my hand over his and whispered, "Sorry Apollo, I didn't mean to hurt you."

He looked at me with a fixed gaze, that seemed to quicken my breath, and my body felt ticklish. I kept looking at him and moved my hand, cupping his jaws and smiling at him, we came to face with something bright and I turned to look at the palace of Olympus and shifted back to my seat, with both me and Apollo blushing.

Our chariots landed and Zeus and Apollo went off their way with Hera staying back to tell me a few things. "Aphrodite, these are your attendants. They are the Graces" and I saw three beautiful women standing, they reminded me of the Fates.

"Euphrosyne, Aglaia and Thalia," Hera said pointing to each of them, "Together they stand for feminine beauty and elegance. Seeing that you're goddess for beauty and love," I noticed a hint of dislike in her voice, well I don't blame her for that, "I feel they are fit to serve you."

"Thank you, Queen Hera. It has been very kind of you to look out for me." I bowed low and went in with the Graces. We had little time for my party, and I wanted to stand true to my position.

The graces had already prepared a bath for me. I was given a separate room in the palace and my own palace would be made soon on my patron city, which would be given today. I looked at a bathtub filled with clear scented water and decorated with flowers, and sank into it, letting the water, cover all over me. I wanted to wash out those stares from my body. I came out, my body wrapped with a towel and and walked into a room with a big mirror and for the first time, i saw myself like other's would see me.

The fates were the first beautiful thing I saw. Then Hera, with beauty beyond mere imagination and Athena with her graceful prettiness giving anyone. But this woman, she was higher than anything I have ever seen or maybe think of. I left the towel it dropped in a bundle around my feet and I touched my face. My eyes reflected the color of the sea I was born from, covered by my curled lashes, with a hint of sparkle, as the sea sparked during dawn. My finger traced my lips that were plump and pink like a freshly bloomed flower. My face was chiseled and sharp each feature highlighting in the right amount but it had a certain softness to it. My hair was long and golden with a little shade of brown and hung in waves till my butts. My neck curved in a delicate way, long and soft, my skin was fair with a slight tan giving me a soft wheatish glow. I had round firm tits with a deep cleavage that narrowed down to tiny wist and gave way to my round thick hips and below my legs, long and thin like Athena but they looked graceful and light, unlike her strong athletic ones. Oh, how could I take my eyes off this woman!

I sighed as the eldest of grace came in with a dress, "This is for you goddess. Me and my sister's designed it ourselves. We hope it graces your beauty."

"Oh, Euphrosyne! This is the most beautiful gown I have seen yet. You're brilliant!"

"It is a pleasure goddess." She along with the other two put the dress around me. It hugged my body tight until my thighs and then flared. The upper fit part was designed with sequins making it sparkle and the flare part was made of net, descending into waves. They pinned the front of my hair into an elegant braid, letting the rest of it hang loose and a few strands framing my face. They put in a light color of cherries and flowers on my lips and replaced my flower tiara with a minimal pearl one.

"Oh graces! how can I ever thank you for so many efforts"

"Serving you is our greatest honor goddess," one of them said. I waved my hands in the air and gifted them a delicate necklace each, before going off.
