Third Person

The gods sat around the large flatscreen TV, appalled at what the four demigods were going to do. None of them knew what the secret bind that they must find was. The gods were afraid. We are gods, Zeus thought. A pesky, meddling, unclear prophecy should not worry them. They've had similar ones before. This is absolutely ridiculous. These children are not prepared for a quest. Much less one out of the country. They-

"Oh my gods! This is just way too exciting!"

"Aphrodite!" Athena scolded. "Exciting is not an appropiate term for this situation!"

"It totally is. Stop being such a prude," Aphrodite retorted, rolling her eyes.

Athena's eyes flashed. "A prude? You dare call me a prude?"

"Oh, please. It's not like I'm lying. You seriously need to get laid. Uncle Pos-"

"Okay, that's enough of that! Someone wanna tell me why we have a TV up here?" Artemis interjected.

Apollo whined. "Artemis! It was just getting good!"

"Grow up, Apollo. No one needs your childish complaints," Ares said while Artemis was trying to calm Athena and Aphrodite down.

"Are you serious, Ares? You're calling Apollo childish?" Hermes snorted.

The god of war clenched his fists. "Don't get me started on you, Herpes."

"Oh, hell no. You did not just call my homeboy herpes," Apollo said.

"ENOUGH! YOU ARE GODS. WE HAVE DEMIGODS GOING ON A QUEST TO SAVE OUR LIVES AND HERE YOU ARE TRYING TO DESTROY EACH OTHERS. YOU ARE BILLIONS OF CENTURIES OLD. START ACTING LIKE IT!" Hestia yelled.

Silence took over the room. Hestia, the calm and reserved goddess, acted completely different from herself. They realized this was a serious matter. If these demigods failed, their existence would vanish.

"Ares started it," Apollo muttered under his breath.

Hermes stepped on his foot and Apollo let out a cry of pain.

"What was that Apollo?" Hestia asked.

"I said we're sorry we all took part in it."

"Nice save," Aphrodite whispered in his ear.

"This quest is vital. None of us can meddle with it," Zeus told them.

All eyes were on Aphrodite.

The goddess looked around. "What?"

The eyes narrowed.

She threw her hands up. "Alright, fine. I won't meddle with them." She gave her family a wry smile and thought of a new plan.

Zeus raised an eyebrow. "Okay, well, now that's resolved we can discuss this. The demigods are going to France to find a bind to keep us alive. Did the oracle say how many days they had?"

"No," Posideon said. "But I'm sure we'll notice when we only have a few days left."

The other gods nodded.

Zeus sighed. "Why can't we ever get a break? Someone's always trying to destroy us."

Hades gave a small grin. "We're powerful, brother. There's always someone wanting power."

Apollo stood up and started dancing. "I've got the power!" he sang.

That brought out a laugh from Artemis which made Athena laugh which made Hermes laugh and join him.

The gods soon forgot the quest at hand and enjoyed the company of their family, feeling like a family for the first time in a long while.
