It had been a month since the attack had taken place, there had been on since as Mortica had been punished for her actions. Things were quite on Olympus Hera sat across from her husband; half listening to Hermes telling him that Helen of Sparta had run away with Paris of Troy. Suddenly she cried out in pain. Instantly Zeus was at her side.
"Sweetheart whets wrong?"
"The baby's coming" she replied.
Aretmis, Demeter and Persephone were called and Zeus was told to leave, but as Demeter tried to push him out the door she couldn't.
"Zeus swore he'd stay with me and not be forced out this time, it's a powerful binding spell we used something that cannot be broken" Hera said.
As hours passed Zeus stayed holding her hand, and then finally the child was born. Artemis placed he child in Heras arms.
"Say hello to your daughter".
The new family were left alone sitting there Zeus wrapped his arms around both of them.
"She's as beautiful as her mother; you chose her name my love".
"Thank you for staying with me, she is beautiful how about Ilthiya".
"Perfect name she has your golden hair like you, nothing will take her away from us. I'd better send Hermes to Hercules".
"No let's send Sapphire she has wanted to see him, it has been 8 years since she last saw him".
Hercules was doing lengths in the pool when a cream cat with four white paws with blue eyes and a pink collar turned up. Looking at the cat he couldn't believe his eyes.
" MAY! It can't be".
"It's me Herc my names Sapphire and I belong to your mother. She sent me to tell you that you have a sister 5 hours old".
"That's fantastic, tell them that I'm over the moon and ask when I can come see her".
"Will do see you around Herc".
Ilthiya was two days old when the party took place all the gods were invited, as were Herc, Meg and Zackaron.
Arriving early as instructed Hercules was met by Zeus who took him to the palace, entering he saw Hera cradling Ilthiya in her arms.
"This is your sister beautiful isn't she" Zeus said.
"Yes man I'm so out of my depth" Hercules replied gazing at his sister.
"It's understandable your father was the same" Hera replied gently stroking her daughter's hair.
Ilthiya gazed up at Hercules not sure what to make of him. The party was great successes with everyone agreeing that she was adorable. Zackaron came up as she lay in her cradle she saw the dragon and reached to try and touch him. Hera and Zackaron exchanged looks
"Well lass you take after you mother not scared of me."
"Why would she be? She knows you're my friend Zack will be nice to" she stopped as Mortica had appeared.
"Well well so then this must be the guest of honour she said" walking towards the cradle, instantly Hera picked Ilthiya up holding in close.
"One more step and there will be trouble" she said.
"Should have known so overprotective Hera won't do you any good in the long run, that child will end up hating you". The she gasped as sharp claws sank into her Sapphire hissed then slashed her face leaving a long deep gash.
"Shut it witch of else I'll burn you try anything and there will be trouble room full of gods and twenty of my best outside" said Zackaron.
See she wasn't going to get anywhere Mortica left and the party returned to normal. Hours later everyone had gone home and Hercules who was staying the night came to sit down with his parents.
"Great party think there will be affair few hangovers in the morning".
"Luckily at least we are not part of the number, the last hangover has taught me a lesson not getting that drunk again" Zeus said.
"For now he means give it six months and he'll have forgotten he's said this before and it never lasts," said Hera.
"Well I do try can't get anything past your mother hearing like a bat. Speaking of bats let's hope that Mortica can't get in I swear she can turn herself into one".
"No chance if she or any of her minions try then they will be killed or severely injured; Zackaron has put 10 of his dragons as guards the elite of his guards. Plus a couple of enchantments" came Heras reply.
Hera awoke to the sound of crying that night getting up she went to her daughters room, there she picked her up and took her back to their room. By now Zeus had woken and watched as Hera fed Ilthiya, then to his surprise Hera handed her to him.
"She's so small and delicate not sure whether I should be holding her".
"Your not going to harm her she's happy when you hold her, she'll be a daddy's girl and have you wrapped around her finger when she's is a little older".
"I can tell she's me the same with Hercules you can tell he loves her".
The next morning everyone was up late as there were a few hangovers and Ilthiya had kept the three awake. As it turned out Salazar had tried to steal Ilthiya put had meet by the dragons, which resulting in 12 broken bones, 3 fractures, 25 cuts and two black eyes. The up shot of this was that Mortica was up powers reduced to her neck in trouble and sentenced to spend the next 150 years with her mother and had her powers reduced.
