Chapter 2: Days of our Lives

Athena sighed as she moved closer to Ares and placed another kiss on his mouth, they broke away only to be wrapped up into another passionate embrace. Ares pulled Athena closer to his body as he slipped his tongue into her mouth and gently massaged hers with his. Athena sighed quietly and pulled back from her brother, leaving her arms wrapped around his neck she gently nuzzled his neck and placed a soft kiss on his cheek before pulling back. She gave him a reassuring smile before she stood up and grabbed her towel, wrapping it around her wet body before getting out of the water and turning to leave.

"I'll see you later then." She said softly as she walked out of the communal bathing area and into the changing rooms.

"Bye 'Ena." Ares said as he too got out of the pool and changed into his regular attire of dark red battle armour and a red helm with a long red plume, complete with his sword and scabbard. He rushed out the door to meet Athena at the entrance, he noticed that she was dressed in her regular attire of a long blue dress and Greek blue armour, similar to Ares', and with a dark blue helmet with a medium length light blue plume. Ares stretched up and grabbed Athena's upper arms and pulled her to him. She met his lips in a bruising kiss and the two gods groaned at the sensation. Athena straightened and graced her brother with a lovely smile before turning to leave the bathhouse. Ares followed her out and walked to the war room where he busied himself with planning out battle strategies until the council of the gods that was to take place in a few hours.

It was official Athena was bored. Zeus had just been going on and on about the latest achievements of his mortal son Hercules. Don't get me wrong Athena loved her little brother but in light of the recent events she was more preoccupied with wanting to see Ares than to have to sit through another boring meeting and it appeared that she wasn't the only one. Demeter was busying herself with rearranging a bunch of flowers; Artemis was correcting a arc on her bow and the rest of the gods were sitting with their faces in their hands with blank looks on their faces. Zeus ploughed on completely oblivious to the councils boredom. The only thing that was keeping her head above the tedious waters of complete boredom was the fact that she was sitting next to Ares and was holding his hand under the table where no other gods could see. It was funny she thought that Ares wasn't the romantic type sure he had had women before her, but that didn't bother her, in fact it made her feel special that Ares was willing to be so different for her. She smiled slightly at the thought and was stirred from her thoughts by Zeus concluding his loooong speech and finally getting down to the biz at hand as Hermes would say.

"Ok cats and chicks let me lay it down for ya," Hermes said in his usual jovial mood. "Zeus has called this meeting to-" Hermes was cut off as Zeus stood up and began talking again.

"Alright Hermes that's enough I've called this meeting for a very important reason...Hercules needs a job." Oh Gods not this again! Athena thought inwardly, as she pulled her hand away from Ares and stood up.

"Are you crazy? Don't you remember what happened last time you tried to do this?"

"Last time was not the boy's fault Athena." Zeus countered as he waved off her concerns.

"Regardless Hercules isn't a god and therefore he cannot handle the responsibility of a full godhood."

"Keep wagging your tongue Athena and I will remove it." Zeus yelled as thunder clouds began to form around the meeting room.

Wisely Athena sat down and kept her mouth shut, as Zeus straightened up and asked for volunteers to help Hercules with his godhood, when no one volunteered Zeus, with a scowl on his face, pointed at Athena and said "Since you are so concerned with Hercules Athena you will be the one to watch over him as he handles his godhood. The boy must be prepared for his godhood when he becomes a true hero and then a god."

Pouting Athena slouched back in her chair, her precious owl, Ibid, nuzzling his head against his mistress' neck. Athena smiled slightly as she stroked the top of Ibid's head with her index finger. This was soo unfair she was an important goddess with her own city state to run and now she was stuck babysitting Hercules as he attempts to learn his godhood. Zeus was so mean, don't fight with your brother do this do that blah blah blah. She was so sick of him and his damn rules, when she was Queen it would be the first thing to go.

Ares observed his sister pouting in her chair and couldn't help but smile, she looked so cute, whow cute where did that come from? Ares shook his head slightly where was he going with that? Meh doesn't matter. The point was that he and his sister were finally getting along and if his intuition was right they would be getting a lot closer very quickly. He would ask her about it later.

Finally the meeting came to a close and Athena was asked to stay behind by Zeus, she glanced nervously around the room as Zeus waited until the other gods, aside from Hera, had left the room.

"Now Athena we know that you are not exactly thrilled with this new arrangement but it is for the best of everyone involved if you were the one to tutor Hercules."

"But why me?" Athena whined "Any other god could do this, I have a city state to run, worshippers to looks after, wars to oversee and well you get the idea. Any other minor god could do this."

"Ahhh, yes but they don't have wisdom in their godhood and regardless of your feelings on the matter I have made my decision and you are stuck with it." Zeus decreed as he waved off further objections from the goddess and left the meeting room with Hera quick on his heels. She shot Athena a sympathetic glance before following her husband.

Sighing Athena left the room and noticed her brother waiting for her with Hephaestus, a grey coloured god wearing a blacksmith's robe and carrying a large hammer. He had intelligent blue eyes and thinning grey hair. Hephaestus wasn't a handsome god but he was kind and considerate and Athena enjoyed his company. Athena walked up to Hephaestus and Ares and greeted them. Hephaestus responded first.

"Hello Athena." Hephaestus greeted shyly as he glanced at her. Athena didn't miss that Hephaestus was checking her out. She wasn't mad though she liked Hephaestus he was very sweet and gentle and it was nice to be appreciated as a woman by someone.

Ares gave Hephaestus a look as if to say 'hey man that's my sister.' Hephaestus caught the look and glanced at Athena who was trying not to laugh, but she blessed him with one of her loveliest smiles and Hephaestus said goodbye to Athena and left the two siblings alone.

"Wadda ya say we go back to my place?" Ares asked quietly.

Athena nodded her head and followed Ares to his room. Once there Athena and Ares had a moment together. Ares was sitting on the cloud bed and Athena was sitting on his lap, her arms around his neck. They continued kissing for a while when Athena broke it off whispering something seductively into his ear. Ares' face lit up and he eagerly nodded his head, they met again in a passionate embrace. Ares lowered her down onto the bed where they both ended up having a very good time. Little did they know their stolen moments of happiness were about to come down around them in flaming shards.
