Chapter 1
Zeus, finally tired of the loud shouting, settled down the council before requesting the fates to proceed "Thank you, my lord. As we were saying, the future of Olympus has two out of the thousand definite possible paths. One shows the destruction of Olympus, while the other shows a successor to the throne of Olympus."
"How are the prophecies connected together?" Hera, the queen of Olympus voiced her thoughts.
"Their connection is the individual who would either be Olympus' next king or destroyer. He is the son of the union of lightning and paradise. His motivation is vengeance and chaos, only his parents can put him on the right path. His siblings and nation of origins will mould him rapidly into the person who's the only person to decide Olympus' fate. He faces trials as soon as his birth and it only progresses. The only protection is his father who is following his vow to protect the child." the fates finished before disappearing away.
Hera's blood boiled before she spoke in a calm voice "Everybody, please excuse Zeus and I."
"But mother...?" while everyone was following her orders, Ares decided not to, wanting more information.
"I said out!" Hera shouted while keeping a little bit of her usual royalty.
As everyone left the building, Zeus stared at Hera with a knowing and conceding look. Hera seeing this gets confused as to what Zeus was thinking in his head. However, quickly putting that aside, Hera was ready to begin her interrogation, never noticing Zeus' lack of apologies that usually occur.
"Another one Zeus! Am I not enough for you! Is it really that hard to love me and only be with me." Hera began loudly before hissing out the last sentence towards Zeus.
"The brave and fearless woman I took to be my queen to the throne of Olympus is currently missing and I missed her. That is the real reason why, because the Hera I married was loving, caring, optimistic, charismatic and a whole lot of other qualities I fell in love with. However, those traits I loved so much were erased from existence after you were sworn queen of Olympus, all that is left of this woman shell. You know I always wanted a child to raise and godly children don't count since they mature so quick it takes away the parental joy a parent feels. The first, let's say, first five were because I wanted a child to raise like a mortal, although later on it was because I needed you and you were gone. All that was left is this vicious monster who killed children, did her best to separate gods and mortals, only cared about being the perfect goddess and queen. And that, I'm afraid, is not who I fell in love with." Zeus stated.
"And that is supposed to make me feel sorry? You're the one that slept with anything that moved and happen to be female." Hera replied getting ready to leave.
"No, it is not supposed to make you feel sorry. I know someone as selfish as you can not feel sorry. But yes you're right I did sleep with many mortals and I'm sorry. This is the last time I apologize to you Hera." Zeus answered with sincerity in his voice.
"Last time! LAST TIME! You are incapable of staying faithful to me!" Hera finally losing her cool.
"I'm sorry I gave you the impression that I can't be faithful or that I meant I would be faithful to you." Zeus spoke.
"Wha...?"
"I'm saying this is the last time I say sorry for being unfaithful as I'm done, Hera. Our marriage ends today, I'm tired of waiting for Hera to return to me." Zeus finished disappearing with a crackle of lightning leaving Hera with tears emerging from her eyes.
Themyscira
Six Weeks Later
Since the prophecy was revealed to Zeus and he ended his marriage with Hera, he has been mostly on Themyscira taking care of Hippolyta and his unborn children. It is what Hippolyta and Zeus were discussing, baby names.
"Zeus? I have been thinking, if we have a daughter how about the name Diana or Donna?" Hippolyta spoke to Zeus, resting in bed with Zeus after a love making session, breaking the comfortable silence.
"Baby names already, my love?" Zeus replied gazing down to Hippolyta sleeping on his chest.
"Well I'm excited about life now. A loving father and lover here every night to be with me, and baby on the way." Hippolyta stated smiling lovingly at Zeus, giggling softly when Zeus moved his chin tickling Hippolyta with his beard.
"Well, you have one more name to think about."
"Why?"
"My love, we are not just having a child or two, we have three children and favouritism is a bad parenting habit to pick up." Zeus stated, waking up to get water from the dresser.
It took Hippolyta a second before she figured out what Zeus was telling her, she sat up fast before looking at Zeus with shock.
"Th... three children. That increases the chance of me being forced to throw my child in the ocean if I want to still be queen and citizen of Themyscira." Hippolyta began as shock turned to sadness.
Zeus finishing his water, returned and hugged Hippolyta from behind before whispering "I made a promise, did I not?
"I know, but still I have to give away my children, my sons just to appease my sisters and the gods, Zeus. All because they were born males." Hippolyta spoke shedding tears.
"I know, but fate will return our sons back to us. I just know it my love." Zeus promised hugging Hippolyta strongly before speaking again "How did the meeting with the Amazons go?"
"Well..."
Flashback
Week Before
Themyscira Council Room
"You may begin your highness, we've all gathered now." Antiope relayed the information to Hippolyta.
"Thank you, Antiope." Hippolyta replied before speaking to the whole room "Thank you for arriving here so I may speak with you. I have news that depends on you on its nature. Five weeks ago I found out I'm having a child."
An elder within the council room spoke "I hope you have not gone against your own laws, Hippolyta."
"I assure you I have not and do not plan on doing so?" Hippolyta answered the elder calmly.
"So how did it happen then, Hippolyta?" the elder asked another question.
"I prayed to the gods to grant me a child and a god appeared. He granted me a child by engaging in sexual intercourse. And now I'm with a child. The storm that occurred with the multitude of colours was the confirmation."
"Hippolyta, which god is it?" this time it was Antiope asking with a worried tone.
Hippolyta just stared at Antiope without even flinching or having a change in expression when she replied "Zeus."
"Great Hera. Hippolyta have you gone insane!? You have brought the end of Themyscira!" Philippus shouted out to the indifferent Hippolyta.
"I doubt that, Philippus. Hera will be after me, so I think I should be on suspension as queen of Themyscira until the council that I'll be putting in place deems me fit to be queen again. However, should a need, like the invasion of Themyscira, occur I'll reinstate myself as queen of Themyscira immediately. During my suspension General Philippus shall take care of the training and duties. The Council shall consist of nine Amazons: two elders Revelope and Thephilus, the general Philippus, the head doctor Desdifoana, the head farmer Laura, and the personal guards Leona, Paula, Evania and Antiope. They were put in charge for various reasons, but their wisdom and positions already makes them capable leaders for Themyscira. Antiope, please notify our counterparts of this meeting's details. Meeting adjourned." Hippolyta stated walking out the council room, having stood up when she was naming the council. The Amazons were shocked, amoung other various emotions within the crowd.
End Flashback
"...and that's how it went." Hippolyta stated after retelling the council events.
"I wish I could be able to defeat my kingdom like you did with yours. If I even attempted such a thing there would be war." Zeus spoke feeling a little envious.
"Well I don't know who to blame in your situation, the gods or the number of men within your council. It really doesn't help you if your circle of trust does not include the council you chose. A blunder on your part mr king of the gods." Zeus just chuckled at Hippolyta before speaking.
"Well, I have a feeling our little god will be my successor to the throne of Olympus."
Hippolyta turned around to face Zeus, startling him, fully before talking "Our child, queen of Olympus?"
"Well I was thinking more of a king than queen, my love." Zeus stated hiding a smirk threatening to appear on his face.
Hippolyta gasps before stating "You proclaim a woman is unfit to rule Olympus."
"You know I did not mean it in that manner, I was proclaiming I want a son." Zeus smiled cheekily.
Hippolyta frowned before answering "If we have a son, all of what we have done and risked will be for nothing as I will not be able to hold my child for longer than an hour before I have to abide by my people's laws."
"Hey, listen if we do have a son, I'll take him to Olympus and raise him along with you coming at anytime you can to see him." Zeus said grasping Hippolyta's hands within his own.
"Swear to me Zeus." Hippolyta demanded, making Zeus smile as most of his past lovers all became submissive as soon as he told them his real status, however, only two have been different and that is Hera and Hippolyta. Which when Zeus thinks about it if Hera never changed from the person she was this moment would have never occurred, in fact ninety percent of his children, god and demi-god alike, would have never existed. Although he would never admit it out loud, he probably made her that way, plus his continuation of adultery did not help things.
"I swear on my blood as king of Olympus, the same blood my heir within your womb is carrying, I'll honour my word to keep our child safe and let you be apart of his life." Zeus stated drawing a melodic chuckle from Hippolyta.
"I swear, you should have been the god of theatre and dramatics. A simple I swear would have done it but... OOMPH" Hippolyta started before being interrupted by Zeus kissing her.
While Zeus and Hippolyta were enjoying their honeymoon stage of their relationship, three old ladies and a woman, who was crying, were looking through the window. The woman was observing the scene with envy dripping of her. The three old woman were the fates.
'It seems bringing Lady Hera here was beneficial, Lord Zeus is making things difficult for the young prodigal son to fulfil his destiny in the correct way. Sisters it seems we will have to take matters into our own hands. Now lets see, where was the last place we saw the mortal Hiruzen, his teachings and beliefs will be needed by us for the young prince. Ooh but it looks like time is on our side for once, we will make sure no one takes the prince's destiny away.' the fates finished their internal debate on the matter.
"Why, fate, why? Weren't Zeus and I fated for endless happiness and everlasting ownership of the crown to rule over this ungrateful mud ball? I would have returned home to Meta-Tita if I knew. When I asked you a few decades ago the same question you lied straight to my face and told me my desires were fulfilled, I wonder what is stopping me from erasing you from existence?" Hera asked flaring her godly essence, bathing the female paradise island with it, leaving everything to fill the tainted essence in the atmosphere.
'It feels like her role is already manifesting itself and her aura is becoming dark rapidly. At this rate she will be stronger than Cronus when he defeated Uranus. It's funny how more powerful a Meta-Titan becomes when darkness plants itself within.' "Well Zeus and Hera are fated for happiness, but not together. Meta-Titans will continue to own Earth, but with different rulership. Your desires do belong to you, however, you will need to grasp them on your own, as Zeus hindered you on that quest. You will..." the fates could not finish as Hera interrupted them.
"I will no longer listen to you. Starting today I shall make my own destiny while making Zeus and anything he loves suffer. I see it now, that is my fate. Thank you, fates, this trip has been enlightening." Hera stated before disappearing in thin air.
'Foolish little girl! Also that fool Zeus and his oath to protect his offspring with Hippolyta stopped the confrontation I planned. No matter, Hera's aura will alert Lord Zeus sooner or later and no amount of vacuum air will protect him from this Hera.'
