Conflict with Zeus

While on her way to meet with Zeus, she wonders 'what could he want to discuss with me that is so important'. Within a matter of minutes she had arrived at the gleaming building that was the Palace of Heaven, where her father ruled all of the gods and the sky. Athena briskly walked up the many steps and through the enormous pillars to reach the humongous door. She hesitated just a moment, remembering that Pegasus was still waiting behind her. "Pegasus you may leave now, I will call for you when I am finished here," Athena commanded, while briefly but gently stroking his head. He whinnied his affirmative and with one powerful flap of his mighty wings shot off in the clear blue Olympian sky. And with that she returned to the door and pushed it open, using enough force to slam them against the walls despite their profound weight.

The sight that greeted her annoyed her immensely. Here her father reclined eating ambrosia and drinking nectar relaxed as could be, not even showing the simple courtesy to greet her as she swept gracefully into the room, as if she were floating above the floor. "Now was that really necessary?" he asked not bothering to look up from his food.

"Yes. It was," she snapped, "What is so imperative that you had to summon me to the Palace right at this very moment? And then ignore me! I was in the middle of something very significant."

"It was not a matter of great consequence only a fact that impacts your very future," he replied sarcastically. "You will marry Apollo in a single years time, and you have no choice in the matter but to comply with my wishes," he casually stated.

If Athena was annoyed before she was furious now. "MARRIAGE!" she shrieked. "I'm not a young goddess anymore. You can't tell me what to do, or make such vital decisions about my life for me."

"Actually I believe that I can. I am the Lord of Heaven, your King," he responded smugly.

"I don't really care about that. Nothing against Apollo but I have no desire to tie myself down to anyone anytime soon. And if by some miniscule chance that I agree to marry him at all it will be by my own choosing and no one else's." Athena retorted.

I'm sorry; I must have gotten some thundercloud wedged in my

"Then read my lips, Forget it," she snapped and right before she exited she turned around and said, "maybe this is why Artemis never visits anymore, despite your promise to never make her marry, you are always trying to engage her to every god she meets." With that she left before he recovered enough from the shock of what she just had the audacity to say to his face and punish her severely.
