The Hall of Justice was packed with major and minor gods and goddesses, all wanting to watch the trial of the century. It's not often a god is arrested and put on trial.

The hall went silent when Thanatos lead the prisoners out. He left them in the center of the hall, knowing they couldn't escape with so many people present, and moved to stand next to his master.

Zeus peered down at the prisoners. "You two are charged with treason against the gods. We will hear testimony from others about the plot to release the Titans and to over throw me."

Murmurs could be heard from the other gods.

Zeus quieted them down by raising his hand. "Thanatos will be the first to speak," he spoke, his voice carrying throughout the hall.

Thanatos never moved from his master's side. He hesitantly glanced at Selene to see how she was fairing and to his surprise, she was taking the trial quite well.

"Inform the court what you know, Thanatos," Zeus ordered.

He began to tell what he knew. "Hades appointed me to look into the matter, He knew that someone was planning to release the Titans from their imprisonment, but we never expected that it would also involve over throwing Zeus from the throne. I later learned that Helios concocted the plan and that Aphrodite and Ares were a part of it."

"How did Helios not suspect you?" Poseidon asked, shifting his body to look at him.

Thanatos looked at his master to see if he was allowed to reveal his secret. He was given permission by the slight nod of his master's head. "I have the ability of making myself invisible."

Poseidon seemed to be perplexed. "Why weren't we informed of your ability before now, Thanatos? Is there any particular reason?"

"My master thought it would be best to keep it secret. If others were to learn of my ability, they would use me for their own advantage."

Poseidon nodded to Zeus to let him know he was finished with his questioning. No one else spoke, so Zeus moved forward with the trial. "Thank you Thanatos. You have been very informative, but I feel that our next witness will be more useful in her testimony."

He rose from his chair and walked over to Selene. He held out his hand and she took it. She didn't know why he was drawing attention to them, but she couldn't refuse his offer or she would be shunned by the other gods for her disrespect.

"Tell us what you know, Selene," he said to her, still holding her hand within his, secretly tracing the inside of her palm with his finger.

Selene smiled softly at him, letting his actions comfort her. She drew in a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Hades also approached me on the night of Zeus' and Hera's wedding. He told me that a god planned on releasing the Titans from Tartarus, but he didn't know who it was. He wanted me to find out for him and had Thanatos partner with me.

Thanatos and I visited the Fates, to see if we could learn anything. They told us if the Titans were to be released the balance of the Universe would be affected. Unfortunately at the time, they could not tell us who the god was. We had to find out for ourselves."

Selene took in another deep breath and exhaled. "No one knows of my ability either, but since Thanatos has told you of his, it's time that I show you mine."

She held out one of her palms and willed the orb out. When it did the other gods gasped at its brightness for they have never seen such a thing. "My ability is to spy on the humans or other gods. I can also play back the scenes that I have witnesses and I will play them for you now."

The orb grew large so everyone in the room could see it. It showed Helios and Aphrodite taking amongst themselves and the scene with Aphrodite threatening Ares. It showed other important scenes as well that would prove Aphrodite and Ares guilty.

When the scenes no longer appeared, Selene ordered the orb back into her skin.

"Well," Zeus spoke. "That was certainly something you don't see everyday. Now, I will not have to hear their statements."

Aphrodite yelled out in anger. "How do we know that wasn't a trick on her part? Are you going to believe her like that?"

Before Zeus could tell her to be silent, Thanatos spoke up. "I can verify everything on the orb for I was with Selene when all of that happened."

Aphrodite laughed. "No, you couldn't have. I would have noticed you."

"Where you not here when I told about my ability?" Thanatos snorted in amusement. She had made herself look like an idiot.

But she wasn't through just yet. She would take Selene down with her. "You all believe that Selene is so sweet and innocent, but I can prove you all wrong."

Selene shook her head. "Please don't do this, Aphrodite."

"It's too late," she said, grinning evilly. "I'm not the only one going down for their sins."

Selene clutched Zeus hand in fear. The secret they had been keeping was about to be revealed. She should have realized Aphrodite would know of their affair. She was the goddess of Love.

"She is Zeus' lover. It was never Nyx." The other gods started to whisper amongst themselves. "She's also pregnant with his child."

Hera looked upon the couple with hatred in her eyes. "Is this true?"

Selene couldn't find the right words to say, so she just nodded her head. Zeus confirmed the truth by drawing Selene into his embrace.

Hera got out of her throne chair and walked down the steps until she was level with Selene. She then drew her hand back and slapped Selene hard across the face, causing Selene's head to fall to the side. Selene didn't cry out in pain. She just lifted her hand to soothe her aching cheek.

"You're such a whore!" Hera yelled at Selene, spattering spit on her. "How could you sleep with another woman's husband?"

Hera was about to strike again, but Zeus grabbed her wrist. "Do not touch her again, Hera, or you will regret it."

"You defend her," Hera snarled. "You chose that hussy over your own wife? I demand justice!"

Hades had enough of the three of them. "You knew he had a wandering eye when you married him," he interrupted her.

"You stay out of this," she hissed.

Hades let his power billow out towards Hera, making her shiver with fear. "Do you really want to go into the topic of being a whore?" Hades asked her, continuing when she didn't say anything. "I know for a fact that the child you carry is not Zeus'."

Hera shook her head in denial. "It's not true," she kept muttering.

Hades let his own throne chair to stand before his sister. "I have been watching you for a long time, Hera," he told her, placing a finger under her chin to force her to look up at him. "You had someone else impregnate you and used the child to get the throne."

More gasps could be heard throughout the hall. Aphrodite had done her part. She had erupted the hall into chaos.

"Who is it?" Zeus asked, through clenched teeth.

Tears were falling down her cheeks. "It's not true," she whimpered, still claming her innocence.

Zeus' blue eyes glittered with anger. "Who is it?" He repeated.

Hera kneeled down before him to beg for his forgiveness. She was caught and knew Zeus could dethrone her if he wished. "Helios."

"You wanted to pass the enemy's child off as my own?" He yelled, shaking the walls of the hall. "I would have caught on eventually when the child looked nothing like me."

"It doesn't matter now," She insisted. "We're already married and my child will be your heir. Selene's child will be the bastard."

Selene pulled his head down and placed her lips against his. She needed to calm him down before he brought the hall down around them. She felt his body ease in tension and him returning the kiss.

"That's not true," Nyx spoke out, defending her friend. "Zeus was married before Hera."

Zeus pulled back from Selene with a dumbfounded look on his face. While Hera had a look of horror.

Nyx continued. "Selene was upset with Zeus for choosing Hera over her. So I persuaded Selene to live amongst the mortals. As the princess of Athens she married the King of Sparta."

Hera was getting impatient. "What does this have to do with anything?" she demanded.

"I was getting to that," Nyx informed her. "When I went to visit her, I noticed the man she married wasn't a mortal. He was in fact a god. That god I seen was Zeus."

Everyone gasped, but Selene's was the loudest. She stared at her with teary eyes, silently asking him if it was true. He nodded his head, too stunned to speak.

"So that means Selene is the true Queen of the Heavens," Hades announced proudly, glad that Zeus was able to get the girl in the end.

Zeus smiled at the news. "Hera stand with Aphrodite and Ares," he ordered, seeing Thanatos help her there. "You will be tried with them as well."

He lead Selene to the queen's throne next to his and motioned for her to sit. The crowd erupted with applause. None of them truly like Hera either.

"Now to return to the matter we came here for," He announced, sitting back in his own throne. "I hereby name Apollo the new Sun god."

He didn't hesitate to move onto the next one. He wanted this to be over quickly, so he can speak with his new queen. "Aphrodite you are hereby stripped of your title as the goddess of love and will be placed in Tartarus until the end of your days. Your son, Eros, will take over."

Aphrodite began to screech at the news.

"Ares you will not be stripped of your title," he announced. "We know you were forced to protect the one you love. We hope you will get the courage to tell her soon."

Zeus narrowed his gaze on Hera. "Your offense is even worse, Hera. I denounce your claim as queen and confine you to your palace for the time being until your child is born. After that you will be placed in Tartarus."

"What of my child?" she cried out.

"Your child will be raised along with his brother," Selene answered for him. "We will not left the child suffer because of his mother's sin."

Zeus motioned for the hall to clear and within seconds, only him and Selene were left. They had to settle their differences with each other before they could truly move on.

She left her throne chair to sit on her husbands lap. "Well, I never imagined things would turn out this way. I would have been happy to be your mistress."

Zeus placed his fingers across her lips. "Don't speak about that. Lets put that behind us and focus on the future."

"By future you mean you won't sleep with other women. I won't tolerate any of your cheating ways, Zeus."

Zeus kissed her on top of her head. "You are the only one I'm interested in, Selene. I love you so much."

"I love you too, Zeus." She returned. "But if I find out you lie to me, I will make sure you suffer dearly for it."

Zeus gulped in fear. She is the only woman who could bring him to his knees. But he won't let anyone know about that. "Let's retire to our chamber and let me show you how much I love you."
