Chapter 3:
Strength
Zeus was worried. How did Hyperion release Kronos? How did he get the Epirus Bow? I had sent Ares to fetch Poseidon and Athena. They were likely together. They thought they could hide their relationship from me, but I found out by Eos, Aphrodite's son. At first I was furious until Eros told me how much love they felt for each other, and who wouldn't believe a God of love.
He had decided to keep quiet and let them continue. Ares walked in with Poseidon and Athena in tow. I could see the rage in my son, the War God. I watched as my brother gave one small but yet loving look to my favorite daughter before taking his seat.
Everyone was panicking. Everyone was worried about Kronos releasing his siblings and his damned children. "We must stop Kronos and Hyperion before they reach Mount Tartarus!" Ares yelled. He wanted a fight.
"We cannot act so rash. We must have a plan. Those two Titans alone are more powerful than any of us." Hestia countered.
"I agree with Ares." Athena spoke. No other God spoke. They all knew Athena has never failed them. All the Gods knew better then to go against Zeus's favorite daughter. All the Gods looked at Zeus for an answer.
Zeus didn't know what to do. He had to trust his daughter.
"We will stop them. We will do it now."
All the Gods went to change into their white and gold armor.
Poseidon walked into Athena's chamber. She was completely nude. Her brown hair cascading down her back. "Poseidon if you want something just ask." She said not covering up.
Poseidon just stared at her beautiful naked body. He could easily remember when they first made love. He had felt honored and happy that he was the lucky immortal that took her virginity.
He remembers their bodies writhing together, covered in sweat. How she would gasp every time he pumped into her. How she would say his name and claw his back. How she would explore his body with her hands. How her green eyes would look into his blue eyes with passion.
He wanted more than anything to join her in bed, but now was not the time.
"I would love to be with you my love, but we must focus." He said taking off his helmet and putting his forehead on hers.
"I know. I just don't want to see you get hurt or worse and end…" she was interrupted by his lips. He kissed her softly. The kiss grew passionate. They both feared for each other.
"Nothing will happen. I swear to you." Poseidon said softly, his lips still on hers. "Now get ready, we leave soon." She nodded and got ready. After putting on her armor, they kissed one last time. She put on her helmet and went to go meet the other Gods.
