Chapter 4

"I'm positive that my sister would love to assist you but I believe that together we can take care of this situation on our own. Also, I am honoured that you think so highly of me," he smiles in return.

"Do you really think so?" she replied hope rising in her voice.

"Of course, I would NEVER force you to marry me if it was against your will. Though I have to say that i'm pleasantly surprised to hear you say that you love me. I will take you back with me to Mt. Olympus so we can inform your father that we will not be used like cattle provide him with grandchildren. That is absolutely unacceptable of him to have tried to force his lovely daughter into a marriage that she clearly does not want at this current point in her life. The wedding is off until you ever agree to marry me," he whispered softly in his sweet melodious voice.

"Oh, thank you so much Apollo! I completely agree to your terms regarding the marriage," she practically squealed as she ran over to him and surrounded him in a crushing hug.

"I'm glad that I was able to make you so happy," he smiled sweetly.

As soon as they landed on Mt. Olympus, Zeus was waiting for them with a triumphant smirk on his face. Smugly he declared, "So Apollo, my son, it seems that you were successful in swaying my stubborn, thick-headed, homely daughter into marrying you and bearing you children. I was beginning to worry that I would never be able to marry her off and have grandchildren to spoil and dote on. I commend you on a job well done."

At that little speech Apollo's eyes flashed with a malicious glow almost as bright as the sun, and his voice tinged with an icy deragatory tone causing a shiver to run down Athena's spine and the hair on her neck to rise almost straight up. "That is where you are dead wrong your majesty. I was unable to 'sway' your 'stubborn', 'thick-headed', 'homely' daughter into agreeing to marry me. She is not any of those things. She is the most passionate, perfect, headstrong, intelligent, and the most beautiful goddess that I have ever seen in all of Heaven and Earth. I will love her forevermore, never straying for the rest of time whether she returns my feelings or not. On the other hand though she has agreed to consider the offer at her own pace not yours."

Once Zeus's brain had processed all of that information his eyes turned red with rage and his voice filled with fury. "My daughter has one year from today to marry you and if she does not then she will be banished to Tartarus for all eternity for insubordination towards her father and king! he exclaimed.
