The living room was all done. It was white and had a pastel green couch with baby cushions and a big peach bean bag. There was a big shelf with all my books and magazines and a big dressing with my stuff.
The open kitchen was already set too. I ran and hugged Athena and Hermes. "Oh this is all so beautiful guys. I'm so grateful I have you."
"Okay enough! Athena and Hermes, a good job is done! Now my turn Aphrodite!" Apollo cried and held my hand dragging me in the garden while others came along.
We half-ran half-walked on the porch, "For heaven's sake, this is so beautiful." I cried standing on my porch. I turned to face Artemis and Apollo, "I love it here."
"I know right. I loved helping you too." Artemis said, and took me down to show me a small rabbit hopping on, "there are many other animals too, Aph"
"And a place for your free time" Apollo pointed at a pavilion beside the pond.
The garden was beautiful with all kinds of flowers and creepers flowing down the walls. There were so many roses and little animals hopping around. The pavilion was white with no roof over it and had a small seat on one side. The scent was entrancing.
"Guys everything is so amazing. I'm so glad to be at Olympus and even more to have all of you" I said and we all got in a group hug.
"Cmon let's get ready for the night out!" Artemis exclaimed punching her hand up in the air.
"Why to worry when you got goddess of beauty here," I said, "I just found this new power." I snapped my finger and a pink fog surrounded all of us dressing us in different outfits. The boys were dressed in pants, with Ares wearing a white shirt, Apollo had a blue and white stripe vest and Hermes had an orange t-shirt
Artemis wore a half tucked-in shirt that was red and white and black shorts, Athena had a light green strapless jumpsuit, and I was wearing a plain icy blue with a halter neck. H
'Hermes said he wanted to be our guide, as he was the god of travelers. I was ahead in the front chatting with him, Ares and Artemis were at last bickering about something and Athena was listening to Apollo while he explained a tune to her. We arrived at a pretty garden with a cafe in mid.
"This is the new cafe at Olympus. It also has a salon, just in case ladies .." I kissed him on the cheeks and giggled, "no more information needed"
I and Athena went for a nice shoulder massage and Artemis went to the gaming area with the boys.
"So what do you think of Cythera?" Athena asked with closed eyes.
"Well first I would ask for Demeter to help with agriculture, then I'd look for some new cities that might trade with us and I'll ask Ares to send a couple of his soldiers to train the young guys. I was thinking of opening a school, I wanted to talk to you about but I felt to do it once I visit the city."
"Oh, Aph! Don't worry, I'll bless the school in Cythera and send one of my highest priestesses to teach there."
"Thank you, Athena! Whatever you guys are doing means so much to me."
We paid the masseuse and walked out to meet others, eating and laughing. "How was it?" Hermes asked.
"Fantastic!" I took my seat next to Ares.
"We have the latest pair of lovers in Olympus!" Apollo laughed.
"Mm princes are irresistible!" I smiled.
"Ahh, all for the royal title" Ares pretend to be hurt.
"How dramatic, little brother!" Athena hit him playfully and we laughed.
The evening passed with us eating and walking around the streets. Artemis showed us a half complete site, that would be a new animal sanctuary this year. On the way, we saw a library. It was one of the biggest buildings in Olympus and has all sorts of books. "Some of those books are magically powerful, containing stuff that was long ago locked," Athena told us. There was her statue at the entrance.
We passed through fields and saw the river Styx. It was beautiful with lush greenery growing around, but there was an eerie silence in the air. No animal or nymph was seen.
"This is the river Styx. It is the passage that separates us from the underworld." Hermes said and we felt a cold wind brush through us. I wrapped my arms around my chest and stood closer to Hermes. A piece of sweet, melancholy music surrounded us and a bright glow appeared in mid of the river.
A woman appeared before us. She had a pale white face that glowed from the light in the river and long straight brown hair. She had a glowing tiara on her head and wore a pale teal dress. Her face had a serene, neutral look to it, which was nerving and soothing, simultaneously somehow ...
"Hello, young gods and goddesses!" She said opening her eyes. They were glowing with the same color as her crown."It's been long since someone paid a visit." She smiled.
"Hello lady Styx," Athena moved ahead. "I hope everything is going good."
"Everything is as it should be, dear Athena!" She smiled, and looked at me, "Oh the new goddess of love."
"Greeting lady!" I bowed to her with a smile.
"No wonder she has the hearts of Olympus." She smiled back at me and looked back at Athena, "Give my wishes to Zeus."
Closing her eyes again, she slowly started to go back in the waters, "Take care, gods and goddesses!"
After meeting Styx, we all went back to our homes. On way, we saw Athena's little cottage and Apollo's home beside it. Artemis went to her hunt, leaving me, Hermes and Ares.
"I'll go to the palace myself. The guards are strict about no one else entering during night hours" Ares said sheepishly.
I went close to him and wrapped my arms around his torso. Ares was taller than me, but in heels, we were almost the same. I felt his arms wrap around me and he gave me a gentle squeeze. "See you, Ares!"
"See you soon too, Aph."
Hermes came back with me to my home and we sat on the couch. "How was today?" Hermes asked.
"Mm. Awesome! the royal court, setting my house and the walk outside. I love it here!" I squealed.
"Uhm mm" he nodded and kept his hands on my thighs, "You know gods can go without sleep for nights?"
"I'd love to check that out," I said and Hermes bend down, kissing my neck and ran his hands over my thighs. I got my hands in his hair and let out a gasp as I felt him bite and tug on my delicate skin.
We kept kissing and talking the whole night, not knowing when we slept. We didn't have sex, it felt too soon for that. The night went too good.
