Verdict of a Titan

"That's all the blessings, That's it" said Demeter. Eris expression was that of a straight face "Is it though, I think you are leaving one out" Eris replied "You're lying…Oh no, No, No, No, No, No, No!" said Demeter, The realisation hit her.

Eris nodded her head "Since Kore was such a perfect daughter that anyone would envy" "Oh No" said Hera "I decided to give your precious little Persephone a little blessing of my own" Eris replied, Turning her head to look at Persephone "That feeling, I'm sure you're all too familiar with….Wrath, You're lucky I did bless you so, Imagine how dull you would be without it?"

Persephone looked at Eris in slight terror and complete bafflement "But why?" the Goddess of Spring asked "Because it's in my nature, To be honest you should really be thanking me, Wrath produces a lot of wonderful by-products, We can all agree in this trial except for my Father, Those mortals had it coming, You asked them to stop killing the flower Nymphs and they in turn refused and dared to push you down to the ground, Their deaths were set in stone, The moment they broke the deal they had with your mother".

Ares then spoke up "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT SISTER!" his left hand fist pumping in the air as well. Eris was about to reply but was stopped by "She is right brother, You have no right to punish Persephone…..Sitting here, Listening to this, Demeter is correct, We have treated her badly, She is one of the six of us who took down our Father, Demeter suffered wounds & trauma just like us, We owe Demeter a debt of gratitude" said Poseidon.

Zeus turned his head to the right with an expression of disbelief & anger as Poseidon stared back at him annoyed "Oh you have clearly chosen a side then Poseidon" said the king of Olympus "Maybe I have but that is due to listening to the arguments and this is clearly going in her favour because YOU DIDN'T PROPERLY INVESTIGATE THE ACT OF WRATH, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" Poseidon replied "EXACTLY!" said Hades "YOU LISTENED TO HELIOS, A TITAN WHO HATES US AND YOU BELIEVED HIS BULLSHIT STORY, NOT EVEN THINKING, HE MIGHT BE LYING, MAYBE I SHOULD DISCUSS THIS FIRST WITH MY BROTHERS BEFORE I DO ANYTHING!" said Poseidon.

Alecto then stood up in the back "KING POSEIDON AND KING HADES, LOSE YOUR SHIT, TAKE NO PRISONERS!". Her sisters Tisiphone was currently face palming at what Alecto had just done while Megaera high fived her sister and laughed "YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!".

Zeus looked at both of his brothers "I am the king of the gods, I don't need your permission to act on my own accord" he said "When it comes to something like this, You do need it, You should have discussed this with us first but nooooo you issue an arrest warrant for Demeter & Persephone and then decided to discuss the matter" said Hades "You have definitely forgotten that it was us 5 that helped you defeat Father which allowed you to become king of Olympus" said Poseidon.

Persephone looked on in awe, Having Hades defend her & Demeter was one thing but she never expected Poseidon to be in her corner as well.

Ares all of a sudden floated over the balcony "Dad what are you doing?" asked Eros "OURANOS USED THE POWER OF HIS WIFE GAIA TO SOLIDIFY HIS RULE AND WOULD EVENTUALLY BE OVERTHROWN BY HIS SON KRONOS WHO UTILIZED THE POWER OF HIS OWN WIFE RHEA TO OVERTHROW HIS FATHER AND IN TIME ZEUS WOULD EVENTUALLY USE THE POWER OF METIS THE TITAN TO OVERTHROW HIS FATHER KRONOS, The main thing these women had in common, All three of them were fertility titans & now a fourth one exists" said Ares who was now looking down at Persephone.

Demeter expression became one of fear, Ares had just confirmed to everyone what she knew about her daughter "So it is true, I am a fertility goddess" said Persephone "I theorised last night to my father that one of the reasons your mother tried to shield you from my Father is because one of his many, Many children is plotting against him and needs your power to overthrow Zeus and take the throne for him or herself" said Ares.

Hera, Eros, Persephone and Hades realised which god it was "Of course that whore would give birth to two kids and one of them ends up being just like her" Hera thought to herself as she stared at Zeus with an expression of rage "Artemis is my daughter and he is my son...It makes sense, Shit, I have got to deal with this immediately before it gets any further" Zeus thought to himself.

Zeus readied himself to render his judgement but was prevented from doing that because seconds later dark underworld magic was now blasting through the floor of the courtroom "OH WHAT NOW!" said Zeus.

The dark magic formed into a deep endless chasm, A giant hand reached up & gripped the surface, The titan pulling herself up "Hello everyone, How are we all today" said Nyx.

Hades stood in complete shock "Nyx what are you doing here?" he asked "Mother" said Thanatos "The reason I am here is to deliver these two scrolls, This one is for Zeus and this one is for you Hades but do not read yours until Zeus has read his one first" Nyx replied.

Zeus untied the ribbon on the scroll & proceeded to read through it, He got to the end of it and then looked at Hades, Demeter, Persephone and Nyx "I have come to my judgment" said Zeus.

The gods, Nymphs and Furies looked on in dread at what he was going to say, Persephone squeezed Hades hands in fear of what Zeus would render as his judgement "I hearby find Persephone & Demeter not guilty, All charges are dropped against both of you, You both are free to leave".

Zeus shoved the scroll into Poseidons hands, Teleporting away.

The room was dead silent at what had just happened but moments later the Nymphs of the mortal realm and the Furies of the Underworld broke out in cheers and excitement, The large group ran down the aisle and swarmed Persephone, Hades and Demeter "WE DID IT, THE UNDERWORLD IS VICTORIOUS AGAINST ZEUS!" said Alecto

The rest of the gods celebrated as well, Hades lifted Persephone up who had happy tears flowing from her eyes "You did it my king" said Persephone "No not just me, It was both of us, We won this together my Queen" said Hades

Poseidon read through the scroll that had been shoved into his hands as his eyes lit up in shock & awe, He looked at Hades and gestured to him to approach "You have got to see this" handing the scroll to his older brother "To my son Zeus, I know that you are currently holding Persephone and Demeter accountable for an act of wrath that was justified, The fact of the matter is those mortals dared to disrespect two goddesses of their realm and thought they could get away with it, If you are wondering how I know about this, I am your mother, Just because I have taken a step back and allowed you, Hades and & Poseidon to be in charge doesn't mean that I don't know what is happening across the four realms, I am warning you right now let both off them go or you will have me & Nyx to deal with".

The king of the Underworld looked at Poseidon in shock, Both of them laughed out loud "Our mother is hilarious" said Hades "No way would he try to defy her, That is a losing battle in the first place" said Poseidon who was now wiping tears from his eyes "Demeter, Persephone you need to see this" said Hades, Handing them the scroll, They read it together and could not believe it "Thank you Rhea" Demeter thought to herself.

Hades sat against the desk and untied the ribbon on the scroll that was written to him "My darling Hades, I hope that when you have read this that Persephone & Demeter have won their case against your brother, I have been told by Nyx at how you have made the Underworld into an amazing kingdom with the aid of Hecate as well and what you have had to sacrifice to become king.

The choice you had to make that day was truly difficult and the fact that you went all in with no hesitation makes me so proud of you, I knew from the first moment I held you in my arms that you would accomplish so many great things.

You went through many trials and overcame them while also never letting them break your spirit & kind heart and from what I have been told by Nyx that kind heart of yours has attracted a certain goddess of spring, I am so happy for you my son, You deserve the love of a woman who see's you for the good man that you are, I know for definite that Persephone will become an incredible Queen of the Underworld and you two will rule side by side as the duo that you are meant to be.

I also have a request, Please bring yourself and Persephone to my temple, So I can meet this woman who has your heart and please bring Cerberus and the rest of your dogs as well".

Tears rolled down the face of the King of the Underworld "Hades, What has you so upset?" Persephone asked, Her left hand cupped his right cheek while her right hand interlocked with his left hand "Not tears of sadness, Goddess of Spring, Tears of happiness" he replied and handed the scroll to her.

Persephone read through it & when she eventually got to the end of it, She was crying as well, Her hands cupped his face as she then brought his head down to hers, Their foreheads touching "I love you Persephone" said Hades.

His eyes went wide in shock at what he just said, He hadn't meant to say that out loud, Well not yet at least, Of course he loved her, She accepted him for who he is and still stood by his side even after learning about his past and his infertility, She still wanted him "I love you too my king" said Persephone.

Demeter was annoyed at what she was witnessing and was about to say something but was stopped by "Demeter I can tell you are about to try and stop this but you have to respect Persephone choice, Not only that Demeter, Do you not realise it is because of Hades that Persephone was kept safe and was looked after, He immediately sided with your daughter instead of his own brother. Hades, Don't think you are off the hook, You have done Demeter dirty, I highly advise you to give up your rights of the volcanoes of the mortal realm & hand them over to Demeter, She should be Queen of the Mortal realm and you Poseidon, Go visit your son and spend time with him" said Nyx "Will do" Poseidon replied.

Nyx was about to leave but was not planning on going alone she looked up to a balcony, Thetis backed away at the expression of rage that was on the titans face, Nyx hand reached out and grabbed Thanatos "YOU AND I ARE GOING TO BE HAVING A VERY LONG TALK, MY SON!" "I'm sorry mother" Thanatos replied "Sorry is not enough" said Nyx who sunk back down into the chasm with Thanatos in her hands, The chasm sealed up & disappeared.

Poseidon spoke up "She is terrifying when she's angry" "Yeah she is" said Hades he turned his head, His eyes focused on Demeter who currently had a look of scepticism "Hades do you love my daughter?" she asked "Yes I do" he replied "How do I know you are not lying, More to the fact as well that how do you expect me to trust you with my daughter after the way you have treated me over these many years" Demeter replied.

Persephone was getting annoyed at her mother, Just as she was about to defend Hades "I promise you, I would never do that to Persephone, I love your daughter, She loves me for who I am and you are right, I have treated you badly, I hearby give up my rights to the mortal realm volcanoes & give you full control of them, I understand if you think this is still not enough but I hope in time, Trust can be restored between us" he replied

The goddess of Harvest looked at him in scepticism but decided to maybe take up this offer and see if it can truly work "If I can just interject at this moment, I have a question for Demeter?" said Amphitrite who had jumped over the balcony & was now standing next to Poseidon who was taking his son Triton from his wife's back.

Amphitrite looked at Hades "Demeter when you look at Hades, Do you see the king of the underworld or do you see Kronos 2.0" she asked.

Hades brought forth his true dark form, His skin now darkening like his father.

Demeter took a few steps back in fear the moment he transformed, Expressions of horror & disbelief formed on the face of Persephone at her mother's reaction.

Amphitrite smirked at the confirmation of her suspicions as to why the Goddess of Harvest didn't trust him, At the same time Hades was not surprised, It was an inevitable fact that he is the spitting image of his father "Mother he is nothing like that monster, He fought alongside you in the Titanomachy, His father ate him and then when he was finally set free, Kronos took chunks out of his skin to retaliate for him escaping which resulted in him being scarred for life like you" Persephone replied

"I know that daughter but it is hard to not see Kronos when looking at Hades" said Demeter.

Amphitrite grabbed Demeters hand "That is what needs to change and in time if the trust between is you two is regained, Your perception of him will be different as well".

Demeter and Hades looked at each other, The goddess of harvest nodded her head at him "I am warning you Hades, You break my daughters heart and I will destroy you" "I will not let your daughter and you down" said Hades

Hades turned to Persephone "My queen I will be back in a few minutes" as he teleported back to the underworld.

"Persephone just thought you should know this, Hades considers you his wife" said Poseidon, Persephone blushed "He does" "Yes see when Hades confronted Zeus about the paparazzi thinking that you were going to be married off to Apollo, The sun god was in the room as well, He was the one who leaked that information to the news, Hades turned to Apollo and I quote him directly, You have been brutalising my wife for months, Don't think I haven't fucking noticed" said Poseidon "He said that" Persephone replied "Then what happened?" Amphitrite asked "Zeus then told Apollo to get the fuck out and stay away from yours & Demeters trial" Poseidon replied.

Persephone couldn't stop smiling at what she had been told "Oh Hades, I love you so much" she thought to herself

Flashback

Hephaestus Computer Room

Hephaestus was finishing off the last few components of a present that was going to be for his little sister Hebe while at the same time his laptop was forming an update for the servers of the underworld Corp towers.

A phone rang in his desk draw as he then pulled it out, This phone did not belong to Hephaestus, What it was though was a cloned version of Apollo's phone "Again he is phoning his mom, Does this guy have no friends but then again the way he is, I would not be surprised" he thought to himself.

Leto answered the call to Apollo while Hephaestus sat at his desk listening in "Hello my son, How is the trial going" said Leto "About that, Zeus has banned me from attending it, So I have no idea what is happening right now" Apollo replied

This annoyed Leto "Apollo what are you playing at, Do you not want to be king?" she asked "Yes I do want to be king of Olympus" he replied "Then why are you making this so difficult, What did you say to him that made him ban you from attending the trial?" Leto asked "I told the press that Zeus has given me his blessing to marry Persephone, He said he would think about it due to me handing Demeter over to him, I was in the room when Hades confronted Zeus about it & immediately after he told me to leave due to me annoying Hades" Apollo replied.

Leto rubbed her right temple "The way you are making this going, We will have to use more drastic measures to get what we both want, You to be king while I will finally get my revenge on that bitch who dared to banish me from Olympus and once I deal with her, The rest of her stupid family will learn what happens when you anger a titan like myself except for Hebe, I will raise her as if she was my own daughter & slowly corrupt her mind so she turns against her own family as well but none of this can happen until we have Persephone and her fertility goddess powers" "What about Artemis?" asked Apollo "We'll make her see our point of view and if she refuses to help then we will deal with her as well" Leto replied "Kill her you mean" said Apollo "No, Are you insane, I would never do that but I will lock her away somewhere" said Leto "When you are ready to make your move, Let me know" said Apollo "Of course my son" Leto replied.

Apollo hung up the phone, Hephaestus sat there in shock & fear at what he had just listened to "Aetna did you?" "I recorded the whole conversation, I am transferring it to your laptop now" she replied "Thank you" he replied.

The young god assembled the presents and placed them into a back pack with his laptop & a miniature tool kit alongside some spare parts, Just in case he had to make a few more final adjustments to his sisters present, He quckly dressed into a black chiton with a black toga on top of it & rushed out of the room with his back pack in tow.

Mortal realm

Present moment

The titan had finally discovered where the singing was coming from, She had heard it earlier and followed it to the source and was now looking at the tree in front of her "Excuse me, Are you alright, I could hear the distress in your voice" she asked "No I am not okay, I am waiting to be turned back to normal, I was a nymph who was forced to turn myself into a tree due to being chased by someone I hate, This person would not leave me alone, So now I wait for Demeter to turn me back to normal, Who are you?" the tree asked "My name is Rhea" "As in the titaness, Wife of Kronos and mother of Hades, Poseidon and Zeus" the tree replied "The very same, I can turn you back to normal right now and I guarantee you will be safe with me, This person who is after you will never harm you again" Rhea replied "You would do that for me" the tree replied "Yes I would" said Rhea.

Her left palm formed a white ball of power, Blasting at the tree which now changed back into the nymph who fell down towards the ground.

Rhea caught the Nymph with her right hand & lifted her up so that they were eye level "Are you okay?" Rhea asked.

The Nymph nodded her head in reply as she then cried happy tears as well "Oh my dear child, You are safe now, Whoever this person is, I will make sure they won't hurt you again, Now please tell me your name?" Rhea asked "My name is Daphne" the nymph replied.

Courtroom

With the trial now finished, All the citizens of Olympus had left the courtroom and it was only the various gods of the three realms who were still inside mingling.

Eris hovered in the air and looked around the room, Her eyes locked with Hebe who was looking at her, The goddess of discord flew towards her younger sister, Hera immediately stood in front to protect Hebe from her older sister "Mother calm down, I have no intention of hurting her" "You tried to kill me, You can understand why I am protective of your little sister here" Hera replied "That was different, You know what you did that day, My rage was justified" said Eris "What did mommy do to you that made you so angry?" asked Hebe who now peeked around her mother.

Eris flew over the balcony & landed into a kneeling pose "Well my dear little sister, The reason I am angry with mom over here is because ages ago when I did live on Olympus, I was in the kitchen and I had just finished making 2 batches of Loukomadies (Greek Doughnuts), I had both batches in separate bowls, One for our family here and one for myself to have because our family eat a lot in our house" said Eris "Are you saying back then I was a fat bastard" said Ares "What do you mean by back then, You still are Ares" Eris replied.

The god of war looked down to his stomach to see if he had put on weight "So I put my share in a bowl & placed it aside with my name on the side of the bowl to let them know specifically that it is my batch, Our mother somehow didn't see my name on the side of the bowl & gave my share of Loukomadies to her Nymph Employees that work in her office" Eris replied.

Hebe looked at her sister and then at her mom "Mommy that was wrong of you to not check with Eris about her Loukomadies and to just give them away".

Hera expression became one of shock at Hebe reprimanding her "Exactly" said Eris "You were wrong too, Trying to hurt mommy is not the answer for when you are angry with her" Hebe replied "Being reprimanded by my little sister, Definitely didn't see that coming today" Eris thought to herself

The young goddess walked around Hera & made her way towards her sister, The both of them stared at each other when all of a sudden Hebe hugged Eris which shocked the goddess of discord, The queen of Olympus and the god of war as well "It is good to meet you big sister, You and I are going to have so much fun together" said Hebe.

Eris hugged her in return "It is nice to finally meet you too little sister". Ares looked at his mother and mouthed the word "WOW" he mouthed silently.

The doors behind Hera slammed open "Ma" said Hephaestus who ran into the room with an expression of distress on his face, He eventually slowed down and leant against a pillar, Trying to get his breath back "You're okay, I am so glad you're okay" he said "I am feeling better if that is what you are wondering" she replied "That's good but I am here to let you know we're in danger, Our family and Olympus are in danger" he replied as he then sat down slowly onto the floor.

Hera expression became one of alarm and worry "Why is Olympus in danger?" the Queen asked. Hephaestus was about to answer but stopped when he saw Eris "What is she doing here?" he asked "That's a nice way of saying hello to your sister" Eris replied "Hello Eris, How are you?" he replied "I am fine, Thank you for asking little brother" she replied "Ares get your brother some water" said Hera.

The god of war went to go do that, Hera looked at Hebe and gestured for her to come forward, Taking her daughter hand in her own "Hebe my darling, This is your older brother Hephaestus" "He is my brother as well Mommy" she replied "Yes he is" the queen replied "You were there that day visiting mommy when Apollo brought Auntie Demeter to daddy" said Hebe.

Hephaestus nodded his head in acknowledgement "Why didn't you say hello to me then big brother?" Hebe asked.

Hera and Hephaestus looked at each other not knowing how to explain that he had broke contact with his family due to how his father treats his mother and that she still puts up with his bullshit despite him repeatedly telling his mother to leave Zeus and have a better life without that moron ruining everything.

Ares arrived back with a jug of water and a chalice, Filling it he handed the chalice to his brother who then drank the water "Thank you Ares" "Your welcome" Ares replied.

Hephaestus opened his bag "I have a present for you Hebe" he then pulled out two cybernetic magpies, Hebe face become one of excitement "What are these big brother?" "They are cybernetic birds, I created just for you and this red bracelet here controls them" he replied, Hephaestus clipped the bracelet onto her wrist "Click this black button here and watch this".

Each of his palms held a magpie, His little sister clicked the button, The two magpies eyes lit up in blue, With them now flapping their wings and taking to the ceiling as they flew above the heads of the small Olympian family "Thank you big brother, I love these" she then hugged him.

Hera eyes filled with tears at what she was seeing "I knew she would enjoy meeting him" "You're welcome little sister, Now how about I show you what else it can do, This blue button lets you guide their flight path, When you move your wrist they will copy the direction that you are going and follow you in the sky, Click this purple button here".

Hebe pressed it with the Magpies now flying down and slowly landing on each side of the little girl's shoulders as she then giggled "Where is my present Hephaestus?" Ares asked "Your present is me allowing you to be in my presence" Hephaestus replied "Smart ass" said Ares "Definitely more smarter than you" Hephaestus replied.

The both of them laughed at each others insults

Meanwhile down below Persephone was currently in conversation with Amphitrite about Poseidon's other son Arion the horse, The child he had with Demeter, Until their conversation was then interrupted by Tisiphone the fury "Queen Amphitrite, Apologies for the interruption but we need to talk to our Queen about something, Persephone can you just come over here for a few minutes?" she asked.

Persephone followed the fury to her sisters who were standing on one side of the room "What is it you wanted to talk about?" the goddess of spring asked "Are you planning on restoring Minthe to her nymph form at some point?" Meg asked "Yes I am" she replied "Don't do it" said Alecto "Why not?" she asked "Because this is why" said Tisiphone, Handing her phone to Persephone while Meg placed a wireless Earbuds into the right ear of the queen "Before you press play, What you are about to watch is what happened the day after Minthe failed to show up to the dinner Hades had made for her the previous night" said Meg.

Persephone clicked play on the video as she then watched & heard, Her eyes went blood red the moment Minthe slapped Hades, She watched the rest of it as Minthe compared him to Kronos, The tears flowing down Hades cheeks which angered Persephone even more as she saw Minthe fingers digging into the cheeks of Hades face, She then saw Hecate arriving to stop Minthe while Tisiphone grabbed the Nymph & dragged her away from Hades.

A black crown formed above Persephone heads, Her body shook in anger, Handing the phone back to Tisiphone she turned around and walked away.

Demeter saw Persephone anger and saw the rage emitting off her daughter "Persephone".

The queen of the Underworld looked up & saw Thetis standing on the balcony, Flying up with the furies backing up the Queen of the Underworld.

Thetis took many steps back in complete terror at Persephone rage and the furies that stood alongside her "Where is the plant?" she asked "What plant" said Thetis, The queen of the Underworld stretched out her right hand, Plant vines came forth, Wrapping themselves around the arms & legs of Thetis who was brought down to her knees "Where is Minthe?" Persephone asked "You better tell before she kills your ass" said Meg.

Demeter pulled herself up to the balcony using her own vines "DAUGHTER, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW!" she shouted, Hera then jumped across and landed next to Demeter, Persephone raised her left index finger to tell her mother to stop "Mother I am in the middle of something right now, If you can give me a few seconds" "My…..apartment" said Thetis "Minthe is at your apartment?" Alecto asked.

Thetis nodded her head in reply "Why did you do that Persephone?" Hera asked "Because of this" Tisiphone replied, Playing the video out loud she passed it to Demeter who then proceeded to watch, Her jaw dropped at the slap that Hades received from Minthe and then got to the bit of "WHO WOULD WANT TO BE WITH SOMEONE WHO RESEMBLES THE GREATEST TYRANT WE'VE EVER KNOWN!" Minthe shouted in the video

This brought forth collective gasps from the various gods and goddesses who were on and near the balcony "Oh shit" said Eros

Persephone then punched Thetis across the jaw "That's for you. Minthe and Thanatos causing all this chaos upon my mother & me, Also from this moment onwards you are banished from entering the Underworld" "And also banished from Olympus for screwing my Husband you little slut" said Hera "You will collect your things from your apartment and my nymph sisters will help you find a place to live in the mortal realm, You will plant Minthe into the ground, Water her and look after her until she regrows. Once she has grown back to normal, You two can do whatever you want" said Persephone.

Thetis was about to say something in response to being banished "Thetis I strongly recommend you keep your mouth shut" said Eros "I have a better idea, If you don't mind, Thetis you are going to move all of your stuff into mine and Poseidon realm, I was watching the trial a few days ago and it is clear to me that yours & Minthe friendship is not one of friendship at all but more like you two trying to one up each other which has now resulted in the two of you has making your bond toxic, You and Minthe need to be away from each other and the best way to accomplish that is for you two to be living in different realms, Minthe will stay in the mortal realm from now on and you will stay in the water realm, Is that okay with you Persephone" said Amphitrite "That's a good idea" Persephone replied

Hades arrived with all of his dogs on one lead which multiple clips, Each one attached to their individual collars as all of them started barking "MY BABIES!" said Persephone she flew back over the balcony and landed down in front of them, The moment she landed they swarmed her with affection "Mommy is here, Oh I missed all of you so much".

Hades smiled at what he was seeing he was about to ask her if she was ready to go until "Uncle Hades" said Hephaestus. The god of the underworld looked up and saw his nephew on one of the upper balcony "Hephaestus, What brings you here?" he asked "I need to talk to you and Persephone about something if you have time" said Hephaestus "Sure we can" said Hades.

Hephaestus turned to the rest of the gods he was with "Eros & Aphrodite, Can you two stay here for a few minutes and look after my little sister, This won't be long, I need to speak with everyone else in private with Hades & Persephone as well?" he asked "I can do that" said Eros "Artemis & Athena you are both needed in this meeting as well" said Hephaestus.

Meeting room

The gods & Furies convened together in the room as they all took their seats at the long table that was in the middle of the room, Hades and his dogs stood behind his Queen who had sat down and was currently holding Pomelia in her lap while Demeter sat next to her

Hephaestus stood at the head of the table & loaded his laptop up, He then called out for "Aetna" who materialised next to him which shocked a few of the gods especially Hera "Who is she" "Hello everyone, I am Aetna, I am an artificial intelligence created by Hephaestus who will eventually install my system into your homes in order to help with your lives, For example if you are on your way back from somewhere and want your house warmed up for you when you arrive, All you would have to do is notify me via your phones which I am already part of due to my operating systems being in all of your phones and I will do what you request or another example I would be able to control the lighting in your home, All you would have to say is Aetna please turn off the lights and thus the lights would turn off or if you need me to remind you to do something like for example take your laundry out and place it in the dryer, I could do that for you as well and various other things".

Ares smiled "That's awesome" he said "Well done Hephaestus, This is remarkable work but with all due respect and not to offend you and her, I will say I won't be putting her system in our home" said Hera "Why not?" Amphitrite asked "Because my husband would try to flirt with her in order to try and sleep with her, Even though she is a computer program, She is still a woman and does not deserve to be subjected to that behaviour from the moronic shitbag that is Zeus".

Hades & Poseidon looked at each other "He would do that" said Poseidon "Most definitely, He only thinks with his dick anyway" Hades replied "Why did you convene us here cousin" Athena asked "The reason for this meeting is because I have discovered a plot to oust not only my father from his throne but my mother as well as the eradication of my brother & sisters from Olympus" Hephaestus replied "Where did you learn this, More so who is plotting against us?" Ares asked "The two individuals that are planning this takeover is Leto and Apollo" Hephaestus replied.

This shocked the gods while at the same time annoyed Artemis "Do you have proof of this?" she asked, Hephaestus clicked play on his laptop as they then listened to the call, Expressions of rage and concern formed on the faces of the various gods while an expression of sadness formed upon Artemis face as tears rolled down her cheeks "I am sorry that you had to find out this way Artemis but you had a right to know" said Hephaestus "I am going to kill her, This bitch dares threatens my family, Corrupt the mind of my youngest daughter in order to turn her against her own family, WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!" said Hera.

Artemis stood to her feet "How did you get this information?" she asked "I hacked & cloned your brothers phone" Hephaestus "Why did you hack my brothers phone" she asked.

Hera looked at Persephone in worry "I am not at liberty to say why I did it" Hephaestus replied "Why not?" she asked "I have my reasons" he replied "Tell me what reason you had for doing this" said Artemis "I am sorry Artemis, I can't tell you why but it is a good thing I did hack it otherwise this plot could have succeeded and we would have been too late to do anything about it" Hephaestus replied

Artemis turned to the queen of Olympus "I can't let you kill her Hera, She is my mother, Do not get me wrong when I say I would never agree with her & my brothers plan it is madness" "So you will help us take your mother & brother down then?" Athena asked "I…I can't do that either, I don't have the strength or will power to do that, I think it would be best for me to sit this one out, I do request though that you don't kill my mother & brother, I will want to talk to them about this" she replied.

Hades then spoke up "Alecto, Tisiphone and Meg you will accompany Ares in order to arrest Apollo. Hera will go with Athena & Eris to confront Leto and I will call Hecate to accompany you three as well, Does anyone have their phone on them?". Hephaestus passed the phone to his uncle who then called "Hecate it is Hades, Listen to me carefully, I need you to grab your weapons and armour and meet up with Hera in the mortal realm, She will explain you what is going on" "Will do Hades" Hecate replied.

Hades hung up the phone, Handing it back to his nephew "How come you and Poseidon are not going?" asked Demeter "I am taking Persephone to meet Rhea, It was her & Nyx that forced Zeus to drop the case against my queen and her mother while Poseidon is going to visit his son in the mortal realm, I trust my furies to handle Apollo" Hades replied.

Hera eyes widened in shock "That is who the scrolls were from?". Poseidon passed both scrolls to her as she read through it and smiled "Tell your mother and Nyx that I said thank you for stopping my idiot husband from doing something really stupid as he always does" "Will do, Now we should be quick about this before we lose the opportunity" said Hades.

The rest of the gods stood to their feet and walked out "I will go with Eros and his mom, I would rather not be alone right now" said Artemis.
