Olympus and the world flourished under the rule of Perseus as king.
As the years passed Perseus found himself a queen to rule with him. Her name was Aurora. She had curly brown hair, purple eyes, and an hourglass figure with perky D cup tits and a bubbly ass. He immortalized her so she could rule with him. The other gods were not happy with this but did not try to interfere with their love. Perseus tried to bond with his siblings but most like Zeus and Hades rebuffed him or denied him to his face, some like Hera,Demeter, and Poseidon politely refused and Hestia tried to maintain a happy front but hatred burnt deep inside her. Gaia herself came to talk to Percy and was treated with respect and introduced to everyone.
Many years passed and Perseus came to be respected by both major and minor gods and was treated as a father figure and everyone went to him for help and advice.
The hatred for Perseus felt by the siblings was never spoken outright but the siblings knew that the feelings were held by all the siblings.
Finally, Zeus had had enough and devised a plan with his siblings that would dethrone Perseus and make him king. The siblings agreed to this plan but what they did not know was Zeus had made a side plan that would keep him in power forever.
As per the plan a few days later, Zeus and Hera announced that they are in love and they are going to get married. The marriage was held in the throne room. The thrones were pushed to a side. where Perseus' and Aurora's throne where there was an altar. Perseus was about to ask Hera if he could walk her down to the aisle but Hades beat him to it.
Perseus face had a stoic look but one can see how hurt he was if anyone looked into his eyes.
The wedding was beautiful and everyone could see Hera smiling a lot that day but no one could have known that that was the last time that hera would truly smile for a long long time.
A few years passed and the major components of Zeus plan all fell into place except for one which after a period time was fulfilled when Perseus announced that Aurora was pregnant.
The night that followed the announcement was the night that the world was truly covered in darkness.
AT NIGHT
Perseus and Aurora were sitting in their thrones and discussing how their day went when there was a loud BOOM. Perseus looked up to see the gates of the throne broken and lying on the floor.
Perseus thinking that there was a danger to Olympus as all his siblings were in full body armor depicting their domains. He brandished his sword and summoned his armor and questioned his sibling "where is the danger brothers and sisters?"
Zeus snarled " The only danger that I can see here is you, brother." Zeus said the word 'brother' with so much venom that everyone in the room flinched.
Perseus looked to Hestia for support but
He was in shock when he saw Hestia with nothing but hatred and loath for him in her eyes. He thought that at least she has accepted him and she would side with him but alas betrayal comes from those who you trust and care about and not from your enemies.
Perseus now fearing for his beloved's and his child safety stepped forward so his body covers Aurora's completely.
Perseus managed to respond through all the shock "why are you doing this brothers and sisters? "
Zeus replied with " why? You have the audacity to ask 'why'. You don't deserve to be king. You deserve to be nothing. You did nothing in the war. You were in father's stomach enjoying your slumber while we were actually planning and winning the war, you did nothing. And when it was time for us to rule then you come along and get pronounced king by the fates. You let minor gods and goddesses be our equal when they are beneath us. We are the Olympians and we are meant to rule. Now your stupidity is going to cost you your beloved's and your life."
Saying that he and all his sibling fire their symbol of power with Zeus having his master bolt, Poseidon having his trident, Hera having her peacock dagger, Demeter with her sickle, Hades with his bi-dent and Hestia with her stick which was always on fire.
The six different colored rays merged into one and formed a platinum colored ray with enough power to make any God or Titan less than a primordial fade.
Perseus, as he was in front of Aurora, was waiting for the blast to hit him with his eyes closed but instead of the blast he heard a thud as if a body falling on the floor. He opened them to see Aurora on the floor writhing in pain and her body flickering from existence as if confused it existed or not.
Aurora, in order to protect her husband, had brandished her shield and had stood in front of him thinking that the beam of power will bounce off but the beam was so powerful that it went through the shield hitting Aurora directly.
Perseus saw this and ran towards his wife and put her head on his lap and was constantly saying "please don't go, don't go, don't go" Aurora with her last breath put her hand on his cheek and caressed it and with a final 'I love you' left the world never to be seen again.
As the siblings saw this Zeus laughed loudly and said: "now we don't have to worry about your useless wife and the child."
As soon as those words were out of his mouth, it was like something snapped in Perseus and he turned towards and he pointed his fingers towards Zeus "You! YOU! killed my wife and my unborn child for this you will pay! He snarled.
As he was saying this the world started shaking and the stars seemed to flicker and the tides seemed to form tsunamis and everyone's power seemed to fluctuate as if they were unable to get a hold of it properly.
With that, he brought his scythe 'Avenger' that he inherited from their father because of his right as the eldest child. All the Olympians shivered from the scythe except the one holding it. Percy himself was wearing a murderous grin which promised death. They had never seen their brother with this face and they gulped. They tightened their grips on their weapons until they were white.
Percy lunged into action and he was whirlwind of destruction. Whomever his scythe touched you could see the person power draining in small proportion. Slowly and slowly everyone became tired and instead of attacking Perseus was defending oneself.
Zeus with a last effort to fade his brother shouted "now" and with that, all the children of Kronos again released their own beam of powers which combined into one powerful beam. But this time Perseus was ready and with a flick of his scythe, the beam bounced off of the scythe and was getting reflected from every reflecting surface never stopping waiting for itself to hit something or somebody until it shattered the roof and went straight into Ouranos's realm.
With that, all the Olympics now without any power were at the mercy of Perseus but Zeus had another ace up his sleeve.
Slightly under his breath, he mumbled "Grandmother, your true grandchildren require your assistance"
As soon as he said that two earthly hands shot out of the marble floor and held on to Perseus. Perseus eyes widened 'another betrayal' he thought as a figure rose from the earth and formed into the grandmother that he loved dearly. Keyword being 'loved'. Perseus shot his 'grandmother' a withering glare and tried to free himself off of the hands but was surprised that he could not access his domains as well as his powers.
Wide-eyed now Perseus tried to break the hold of the hands by brute force but ultimately failed. Gaia finally spoke "I never considered you as my grandchild and never will. My true grandchildren are going to defeat you so that they can take their rightful place as the rulers of the heavens"
Even though this should not have hurt Perseus, one could see it did as his eyes hardened and his jaw clenched. What Perseus failed to see was the glazed look in Gaia's eyes.
While Gaia was talking to Perseus the Olympians had recuperated their strengths and were again powering up to release their symbols of powers.
But this time Perseus was ready and he brandished his shield which was given to him by the fates when he was finally regurgitated. As soon as the platinum ray of light hit Perseus' shield, to the Olympians shock, it reflected and was coming their own way or specifically Hestia's way. Most of the Olympians moved out of the way but Hestia stood there in shock, unable to move as if her body was paralyzed and she for the first time regretted not having accepted her elderly brother, for not seeking the bond that the eldest child of every family seemed to have with all the children of the family, the bond of the second parents. The bond that she provided to her siblings but she herself yearned. And then from her mouth came those words that Perseus wanted to hear "please help me, brother".
As if hearing those words unlocked something in him. A dam burst inside him. His power was again accessible to him. He went deep inside himself and found the domain of time and made time slow down to one-tenth of a second as he could not completely stop time. He teleported in front of Hestia and put his hand on her shoulder. As soon as his hand touched Hestia she was able to move at the normal rate of time instead of one-tenth of a second. Hestia seeing this was relieved as she was not going to die today. Then she crumbled and hugged her brother for the first time all the while sobbing like a little girl who is seeking the protection of a father. Perseus though surprised hugged her back. After a while as her sobbing ceased they let go of each other. Hestia though said one word "why?" and if they were not standing so close to each other Perseus would not have been able to listen.
Perseus though understood and replied "While you may have betrayed me sister you are still my flesh and blood and I will always and foremost save my family whatever they do to me. Whatever I may have done to anger or harm you, my sister, I hope that you can forgive me and move on. Remember whenever you need me I will be there for you. 'Always and forever' that is what I believe and we have forever to prove it. Promise me one thing though my dear sister preserve this family for whenever I come back 'if' I come back. This family may be broken but it is our family. Now I have a wife to go to and you have your work set out for you. Farewell and goodbye." hearing this Hestia broke into more tears and she tried to cling onto Perseus but he moved away and towards the beam. With his final breath, Perseus said: " remember your promise, my dear sister." With those words, time again returned to the normal rate and the beam of light hit the person who was standing in its path. With a pained 'oof' Perseus fell to the floor and Hestia seeing this ran to him and kept his head on her lap all the while crying. Perseus with his last breath he moved his hand and wiped her tears and whispered "don't cry, sister" and with those words, his body dissolved into white dust and like a wind blowing the dust evaporated from view. At the same time, there were two cracks heard and like a demolition, a boom was heard and the 2 thrones in the middle of the U broke down into fine dust which again was carried by the wind. Like a dam broke Hestia cried and cried until there were no tears left. Then Zeus as the pompous ass he is announced "thank Chaos that he is gone. What a nuisance for a brother we received. Now for my birthright." with that the thrones rearranged themselves and now Zeus' and Hera's throne was in the middle with Poseidon's throne on Zeus side and Hestia's next to Poseidon.
Next to Hera's throne was Hades' throne and next to him was Demeter's.
Suddenly the fates flashed in and announced " all hail Zeus, God of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order, and justice. King of Olympus. King of the sky. Lord of lighting. The sixth Olympian." followed by
"all hail Hera, goddess of women, marriage, family, and childbirth. Queen of Olympus. The fourth Olympian."
The Olympians we're now waiting for the fates to leave but the fates turned to Hestia and announced " all hail Hestia, goddess of the hearth, architecture, and the right ordering of domesticity, the family, the home, and the state. The first Olympian. Keeper of the hearth."
With that, the fates flashed out and it became silent with only some sniveling coming from Hestia as she silently cried.
