Should I finish Truth or Dare: Olympian version? The poll will be on my page.
Btw, my friend Longstrider is an Attack on Titan writer. Her stories are unique and very well written. If you are interested, I'd love if you read them and leave her a review. Thank-you for your time.
Hebe's POV
"So... I pick dare!" I said. Everyone just looked at me, confused.
"W-What?" Persephone said, her eyebrows scrunching up.
"I pick dare. You picked me for truth or dare, remember?" I said. Ares's jaw dropped.
"What the...?! Did you not just hear Victor?! He just revealed something huge and you don't even care!" Ares shouted. I pouted, feeling myself getting frustrated.
"No, I don't care. I want to play! I want to play! I want to PLAY!" I shouted, banging the table each time I said, 'I want to play'. Ares groaned and looked at Queen Hera.
"Moooooom!" Ares said. Queen Hera sighed and closed her eyes. Her right eyebrow twitched.
"Persephone, please just humor her," Queen Hera said.
"But—" Persephone began but was cut off by a glare. She sighed. "Fiiiiine."
"Yay!" I said, clapping my hands. Ares jaw dropped some more; I was surprised it could open that far.
"L-Look at how she turned off those waterworks! She was so faking being upset!" Ares said. "Like a five year old!"
"Honestly, I don't know what you are complaining about Ares," Queen Hera said. "After all, you were the one asking when we'd be playing again."
"So Sephie, what's my dare?" I asked Persephone. Victor grinned.
"Can I play?" Victor asked.
"NO!" We all said in unison and in a corner someone shouted, "Nobody likes you!"
"Darn."
"How about, no playing with toys for about a week?" Persephone said.
"What?" I said, my eyes widening.
"Do you think you can't do it?" Persephone asked. I suddenly felt challenged.
"Of course I can!" I shouted.
"Then do it!"
I pouted. "Fine."
"It's my turn now?" Demeter asked, twirling her finger that made wheat in a bowl spin. Persephone nodded.
"Sure is mom!" Persephone said, smiling. Demeter tapped her chin.
"If approving of you and Hades makes you this happy then I should do it more often," Demeter said.
"Mother! That shouldn't be the reason why you approve of me and Hades!" Persephone yelled. Demeter shrugged.
"Hera, truth or dare?" Demeter asked. Queen Hera sighed.
"I'm going to mix it up and say dare," Queen Hera said, rolling her eyes.
"I dare you to lick the bottom of my foot," Demeter said.
"EWW!" Ares and I squealed. Queen Hera's face blanched.
"You've got to be kidding," Queen Hera said. Even as she said it, Demeter lifted her foot off the ground and waved it in the air.
"I'm waiting," Demeter said. I saw an anger that burned hotter than the depths of Tartarus in Queen Hera's eyes.
"You shall pay for this," Queen Hera said, getting up. Hermes sat up.
"Oh yeah! This is going to be good!" Hermes said, getting out his camera. One scathing look from Queen Hera sent him reeling and putting away the camera. Queen Hera walked over and grabbed Demeter's foot and pulled it up so it was level with her face, causing Demeter to slouch in her seat. With a grimace, Queen Hera's tongue danced out quickly like a snakes and dabbed the bottom of the foot. As quickly as it was out, it went back in. Queen Hera dropped the foot and went running to the sink. She filled a cup with water and gargled it and spit it out.
"That... was revolting," Queen Hera said, wiping her mouth with a paper towel. Ares chuckled. She slapped his head with a frying pan. Ares mumbled a bad word.
"Geez, thanks mom," Ares said with a grunt.
"Just be happy you didn't have to lick a boy's foot," I told Queen Hera. "They have kooties."
This didn't seem to cheer her up.
Dionysus' POV
"Well, I'm waiting," Victor said with an infuriating grin. Well, if that's how he wants to be...
I summoned my thyrsus and charged at him. For a instant, Victor appeared as a blur then disappeared. I felt a foot collide with my back sending my into the ground several feet away. I raised my head, wincing.
"Tch," I said with a grimace. Victor suddenly appeared before me.
"You aren't going to keep up if you move that slow." Victor said. I scowled. That bastard! I stood up and patted my pants to get the dust off.
"Very well then— I will run. Even if I do hate it." I said. Summoning my aura of power, I focused on only using it to enhance my speed. With a burst of speed, I swung around behind him and brought my thyrsus down towards his back. He blocked it with his mace and spun around. I moved out of the way and to his side before he could react. I made to slice at him but he blocked me again. Damn! How does he keep doing that? This fight should be over.
Getting tired of trying to land a hit on him, I decide to end the battle in one feel swoop by driving him mad. With a quick burst of energy, I sent an aura of madness to is vicinity. When the purple light disappeared, I saw he wasn't there. I was frozen for a moment or two before I heard someone coming at me from above. I jumped back and Victor crashed where I was standing.
"How—?" I began.
"I moved faster than your aura could touch me," Victor replied as if obvious. "So, you done running or was that all you had?"
I scowled and charged at him with an incredible burst of energy. I raised my thyrsus and brought it down on his head.
WHAM!
I flew backward into some columns, causing them to crumble on top of me. I felt like puking up my food, Victor had kicked me so hard in the stomach. He flew over in front of me.
"So, that is as fast as you can go," Victor said. "Good, just making sure. Looks like I'm still plenty faster than you."
"You mean each time I came close to getting you...?"
"That's right: I wasn't even going my fastest to begin with. I was just assessing what I was up against," Victor said. "Now—"
A wall of flames came between us and flung Victor back. He landed twenty feet away.
Who did that? I turned around and even I was shocked to see who it was.
Imposter's POV
Hephaestus...? But no, he wouldn't—
"Leave my nephew alone," I head a woman say. My eyes widened. It can't be! I thought she faded along with her siblings!
"Hestia?" I said. "Wait... you must be the other dimension Hestia."
Her face was stoic so it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. As I waited apprehensively for her to say something, the time for her to speak grew longer and longer.
"...Let's race." Hestia said. My heart jumped.
"E-Excuse me?" I asked. Hestia's face remained impassive.
"Let's race." Hestia said again. "Go."
SLICE!
"Guh!" I gasped, golden ichor spurting out of my mouth. A scythe was embedded in my back where Hestia stood. Before I could even react, she had gotten behind me and cut me. The only person who's ever beaten me in the race was Hermes! Just how fast was she?
"What the Tartarus are you?" I asked. She pulled out the scythe and I fell to my knees. Wincing, I looked over to see Zeus was still fighting with the other gods.
"STOP!" I heard someone shout.
King Apollo and Leto came flying down on a Nyan cat. It landed in front of the formerly rampaging gods that now stared at him in confusion.
"Stop fighting him right this instant." King Apollo said. This was going down hill fast...
"Are you my Zeus?" Leto asked Zeus with hope in her eyes. I've honestly never seen her look so desperate.
"Yes," Zeus said. She hugged him and teared up.
"Please get me out of here! I'm so sick of this place! This was the wort idea ever!" Leto said, practically about to sob. King Apollo scratched his head.
"Well, thanks a lot! Glad you like the place," King Apollo said. Dionysus ran over to Zeus and I felt my heart clench in despair. My eyes burned as if there was acid in them and I clenched my teeth and hands. Why...? I was so close! Just to lose it all! Zeus looked over at me and his eyes blazed. He stormed over to me and picked me up by the shirt.
"Do you realize what I'm going to do to you?" Zeus growled. I felt something inside just break. I failed. I had promised to succeed but I failed.
"Is he... crying?" King Apollo said pointing at me. Dionysus snorted.
"Pathetic," Dionysus said.
"I just... w-wanted to help A-Athena," I said, choking back a sob. King Apollo's eyes widen with horror and realization.
"Wait, you intended too..." King Apollo said. His mouth formed a little "O" shape.
"He intended to what?" Hestia asked. Zeus finally seemed to realize she was there.
"Hestia? What are you doing here? Or wait... are you this dimension's Hestia...?" Zeus asked. I couldn't see Hestia as she stood behind me but I imagine she shook her head.
"No, I'm from your dimension," Hestia said. "Apollo, what's this about Athena."
King Apollo looked down, pursing his lips. "I'll let Victor explain."
"There was a war long ago that was hard on all of us. Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Hades and Hestia all faded. Hephaestus permanently lost his right eye and..." I swallowed. "Athena... had one of the worst fates. She lost her mind. As the goddess of wisdom, even fading would've been better."
I blinked back tears as I continued. "I visit her everyday. She never even recognizes me her mind is so gone! So, even though she can't comprehend speech anymore... I held her hand and promised to bring her back."
Everyone just stared at me.
"Don't you have your own Dionysus...?" Zeus asked.
"We do but... he wasn't enough. I decided that we might need two Dionysus then," I explained. "That's my story."
Everyone was quiet for a while.
"Tch." Dionysus said with crossed arms. "You honestly have to be so difficult. Did you really think I was such a low life that I wouldn't help if you explained your situation?"
"Huh?" I lifted my head.
"Idiot. I might as well help as long as I'm here," Dionysus said with a tired sigh. I felt like the whole world was being reborn.
"Really? You will?" I said, grinning so wide my face hurt.
"Yes but wipe that stupid grin off your face. It's unbecoming," Dionysus said. I saluted him.
"Yes sir!"
So, that's the last part of the climax. Things should be resolving around this point. Since this story has been going on for two years I plan to be ending it soon. I will be making a sequel if you all are interested though. Tell me in the comments if you are.
