Lio POV

When dad said that they wanted to talk to us I was worried that they may be getting a divorce, but that thought was quickly tossed aside when mom said that they were not getting a divorce I was relieved at that , because they are perfect for each other.

Eione and I were helping ourselves with the cookies that mom made for us and to say that they are delicious would be an understatement. They are absolutely marvellous to put in my mouth. "These cookies are too good sis" and she nodded.

"So any clues on what mom and dad want to tell us?" she asked and I shook my head, as I honestly didn't have the faintest idea what they wanted from us, but I hope that is not bad news or any news concerning their marriage.

"Not a clue sis" I said and she huffed in resignation.

"Do you ever know anything Lio?" she said.

"Hey no need to be rude Little sis" I said.

"For the last time I'm older" she said. I don't really know where she got that idea. "Daddy tell Lio I was born first"

"I'm sorry darling, but your brother was born first" Dad said. "Besides you are twins, so it does not matter who was born first"

I smiled at Dad's words, he was right about that, but it was kind of hard to take his word when he and Aunt Diana are always arguing over who is older between the two, but I know full well that dad does it on purpose to annoy her. Dad is crazy that way I thought to myself. A few minutes later I heard the door open and I saw two people walking through the door, first it was Kat with her blue eyes and blonde hair peering over to Eione and I while dad was in the sitting room working and then there was my younger brother Marino, who could pass as my twin.

"Lio, Eione" they both shouted looking excited about us being back

"Hey bro and sis. How was school?" I asked

"Well I'm happy that tomorrow is graduation, because high school is boring" Marino said.

"Speak for yourself Marino" said Kat, which caused Eione and I to chuckle.

A moment later the door opened again and a beautiful women who looked to be about thirty eight walked through the door and when she looked over to us her sea green eyes lit up and I could have sworn that there were tears in her eyes. My mother Persephone Olysia. I went up to her and gave her a hug and when I released her she kissed my cheek like she always does and I saw mom going towards Eione and gave her a hug and kissed her cheek, which I know Eione secretly loves.

"Mamma" I said. "I missed you and thanks for the cookies you made us"

"Yeah thanks mom" said Eione. "They are great as always"

I nodded at her sentiment. "She is not lying, these cookies are worth coming back home for." I said with another stuffed into my mouth.

"So mom dad says that there is something you want to tell us" said Eione and mom nodded

"Yes there is." she said looking at all of us. "Delian are you ready to tell them?"

"Yes. It is time" said Dad. "They are old enough to know their heritage"

She sighed, but nodded any way. "I guess so" She said. "Once they know there will be no going back"

"I know love, but we owe them that." Dad said also looking worried about the implications of telling them the truth.

"Now I am curious" said Marino who looked at us and we all looked curious.

"Are you ready love?" asked Dad and she nodded at him.

"How much do you know about Greek mythology?" She asked us and I was starting to get really curious as to where this was going.

"I think we know as much about mythology as most people" I said and they all agreed. It was true we were mildly interested in mythology as we are Greek, so we wanted to learn what the ancient Greek used to believe and how the used to behave.

"What if I told you that we are part of that world?" she said and I started to worry that my mother had gone out of her mind.

"Well I would say you have been sniffing something" said Kat and we all raised our eye brows at them.

"Your father is Phoebus Apollo the god of the sun" She said and we all laughed. No way could dad be a god and an Olympian no doubt.

"Yeah right mom" said Eione. "Dad is not that cool"

Dad then proceeded to change into a sort of Greek styled amour and I could tell that my siblings all looked gob smacked when he changed into his Greek form. I could not believe it my Dad is a god. That was really hard for me to wrap my head around and I didn't want to show it to the others. I couldn't believe that I was related to the gods and my grandfather was Zeus.

"Wow dad is a god" Marino said. "So are we demigods?"

She smiled and she shook her head before she changed into form similar to the one dad had.

"Mmm…mom?" said Kat. "You're a goddess?"

I nodded at her and she smiled.

"Does that mean we are gods?" I asked them and they nodded and I couldn't help but smile. "Cool, but why didn't you tell us?"

"We wanted you to know what it was like to live a normal life first. We have money, but you were never spoiled nor will you ever be" Dad answered my question. I was still reeling inside over the fact that I was an immortal like my siblings, but I was confused about one thing, should she be married to Hades and not Dad.

"Well that explains your name mom" I said. "But aren't you married to Hades?"

"I'm not that Persephone, I'm to young and my father is Poseidon and grandma Sally" she said. "I was a demigod a few years ago"

"So daddy, you are part of the Olympian council?" asked Kat and Dad shook his head at her and I could tell that she was confused.

"I was part of the Olympian council, but not anymore" he said. "Now I am part of the Olysian council"

"Wait what's the Olysian council?" Eione said and I had the same question running through my mind and it felt like my head was going to explode.

"It is the Primordial council" Mom said. "Your father is the King and I an the Queen"

My siblings and I were close to feinting at the moment Mom said that they were the king and queen of the Primordials. This is just incredible, not only are my parents gods, but they are Primordials.

Marino was the first to recover. "What are your domains?" he asked and I could tell that they were all wondering the same thing.

Mom sighed. "I am the Protogenos of The elements, seas, matter and energy, Lady of the Heavens." she said. "Your father is the Protogenos of the sun, light, knowledge, music, poetry, prophecy, Plague, medicine, archery and the heavens."

"Damn dad those are a lot" Marino said "And no offence mom but dad has to be more powerful"

Mom laughed and shook her head. "No, we are about equal in power" Mom said.

"So who else is a god or demigod in the family?" I asked now that I knew that my family is supernatural.

"Nearly everyone in our family is a god or a demigod, like your Aunt Annabeth and your brother Will. They are demigods" Dad said. "I was what we call a man whore before I met your mother"

My siblings all looked surprised that Dad was different before he met mom, but I was not really shocked as I had read stories about him and I was a bit disappointed and I noticed that Mom saw my expression.

"Do not judge your father harshly my son" Mom said and I nodded. "He is not perfect and some of his domains were more of burdens to him"

"So Mom and Dad how long have you been together?" asked Kat

"Twenty seven years" Dad said and we looked at him like he was joking around with us.

"Yeah right you were faithful that long" said Eione and both of our parents glared at her and we looked offended at her insinuation. "What it's true"

"I did not say my vows to your mother for nothing. I meant every word of what I said to your mother. She gave me a life worth living and I love her with all my heart" Dad said and Mom embraced him in a kiss, which made all of us smile.

"I love you too Delian" Mom said. "Now who is hungry?"

We all raised our hands. So she led us to the kitchen to get something to eat and she saw that we were greedily waiting to eat some food. After an hour she had finished and my siblings and I looked like we were about to fall down with hunger.

"Thank goodness you are done cooking, I'm starving" I said holding up my plate and I saw Marino doing the same thing and our parents just laughed at our childishness.

"You two are being childish" said Kat and Eione nodded and we both pouted at our sisters.

"Hey we are not being childish." Said Marino, Mom and Dad just laughed at us.

We then on spent the entire day talking about what we were doing the whole day and how school was.

Mom and Dad after a while said that they were going to sleep and I couldn't wait to talk to my brother and sisters about what we have discovered about our parents and the rest of our family except for grandma Sally and grandpa Paul.

"How are you guys taking the news of being immortal" I asked.

"I am totally freaking out, but I did not want to show it in front of them" Eione said. And I was glad I was not the only one who was freaking out inside. "Sure I am happy that I am immortal, but it's still overwhelming t hear."

We all nodded. "I wish they had told us earlier, but at least they told us now I guess." Kat said.

Marino let out a yawn. "Well I'm going to sleep" he said. "I have graduation to go to tomorrow, so goodnight guy"

We all did the same as he did and we went to our respective rooms. When I got to my room I felt really tired and when I touched my bed I felt myself being engulfed my darkness and I embraced it.
