Chapter 2: Pain in my godly ass!

Artemis`s POV:

Two years after Selut`s and Ares' painful, ass-whooping beat up from the strange twins that came here two years ago and a year after the spell wore off. Sorry for my language but note my sarcasm. It was the most hilarious day of my internal life that I almost shed tears from laughing with my girls.

And now, father is yelling at me for turning too many men into jackalopes; including the gods and goddesses sons.

"Artemis! How many times do I have to tell you to stop turning boys to jackalopes and just stay away from them?" Father roared. As if I was scared, but then again, I should be. His the freakin king of gods, but not god of the gods; mind you.

"I don't care father!" I retorted. "It's their fault cause they were flirting with my huntresses and wouldn't stop after I gave them a warning."

"Maybe she`s jealous because they wouldn't flirt with her." I heard Hermes and Apollo whispered to each other. I looked at them with my infamous death-glare and said. "What did you say you say you blasted rodents?" they both flinched and inched their thrones far away from me.

Then we heard a faint ring on Hermes` phone-thingy and answered it. "Yeah, what it is?" there was weird metal clinging sounds like Hephaestus` forges. The other Olympians looked at him intently and his eyes widen in fear, shock, and desperation.

He turned to Zeus as he placed his phone back to his pocket and stuttered. "Th- th- the gi- giants a-and t-ti-titans ar-are ri-ris-rising!" He was sweating hard with some Olympians gasping and breathing hard.

I was worried of what my huntresses` faiths would be, like if I would lose more or all of them at once, for everyone knows that I could not handle any more deaths of my huntresses. Then father`s head went like a light bulb finally popping from electricity. "I have an Idea!" he exclaimed as he pulled a card from his throne pockets and I remembered it from the twins that gave it to us.

He dialed the number in his magical blackberry curve and it rang for a few seconds before someone answered it and father placed it to loud speaker. "Hello? Who`s callin`? What do even you want?" asked a tired, sleepy voice. My fellow Olympians remembered the voice especially Selust and Ares cause they growled at the sound of the boy`s voice.

"Yes, uh, it`s me, Zeus the king of gods, blah blah blah. I need your help right away." He said waiting for an answer. We heard a loud yawn and he spoke again. "Sure. Do you know what time is it? Its three in the morning." He said lazily.

Then all of a sudden, there was a knock on the golden-doors and it opened automatically showing a boy at the age of 20 in his uniform and he wore it`s just like two years ago. I`m not going for details but it looked it and he was rubbing his eyes with his pointing finger with a mug on his right hand and it smelled creamed coffee.

"Well, that was fast." Commented Hestia. "Of course. Father said he needs him right away and his here right away." Joked Apollo. I thought Apollo would have been hit by something, but all he receives was a faint, friendly smile from him.

Then he walked in front of everyone receiving cold stares from Ares and Selust. But he gave them an as-if-I-care look. He stopped in the middle and took a sip from his coffee. From the sight of him, it made me hungry and it was suddenly answered by a mushroom-Swiss burger appearing in my hands.

I looked at Hestia but she gave a not-me look, then I turned my head back to the boy in front of us and he gave an eat-it-before-it-disappears look. I quickly ate it and was mystified how he did it.

Then father started talking. "As you can see from my disturbance to your sleep, I had an emergency that takes upon your attention." He said. "That's alright. I was just about to wake up and wake the rest of the pack." He said.

He said something about the pack? That couldn't mean a group of boys that has sworn the attention and company of women. But that`s impossible, men are pigs, they will try everything to get under women`s pants.

"And believe me Lady Artemis, I didn't gave them any rule about women. Maybe just a few major rules but nothing with the forever-alone kind of oath. Some has relationships but… their too busy this past two years after my come back that we`ve been getting back to shape." He said like he could read my thoughts for the second time.

Then father spoke again, "Alright, now done with that, why don't we come back to our previous conversation, shall we?" he gave him a nod and father spoke, again, "Good, as you can see, we were just given a call and in most way it-" "just get to the point." He said impatiently. "Fine, the giants and titans are rising faster and we are assuming that they are uniting their forces to destroy us. And we need your help to prevent it." Father said.

"Children of Gaea?" asked France. "Yes, they are very powerful and it took almost half the Olympians to take down a single giant." Athena said bluntly. "Giants are easy. Fought hundreds of them before." He said. What`s wrong with him? Doesn't he know that these giants are designed to destroy us? Then I received a cold stare from him and he said.

"Don't push my patient, child. I can bend my rules as I can bend life to non-existent." He said coldly. It scared me when he said that and confused me of why would he call me a child when I'm more than 3000 years old.

I returned the cold stare but then something shocked all of us Olympians… he was now radiating a powerful, deadly aura more powerful than the big three. Now this really scared the leaving Hades out of me. I saw Hades half closed his eyes in annoyance of his name being used as a curse.

Then he suppressed his aura and turned to Zeus. "I will try to get the whole 13th to agree. But don't think this will be easy. I should make a call right now and we should receive a comeback call and see what`s their decision." He said. The he raised his hand and placed a small Bluetooth headset with microphones in his ears. He then started talking in their while we waited patiently and eagerly.

He then turned to all of us and said. "They said that they will decide and that I should stay here so I don't have to make double trips." We nodded and some of us walked away to do some of our hobbies.

Athena`s POV:

I flashed out back to my palace to read some books, when my eyes met the only book that I haven`t read in eons. It was the book about the ancient gods and it was on an empty table in the middle, still locked. The book contained the names of the once older and more powerful gods, more powerful than the big three gods. When I showed this to them… they were nervous to see the book and told me it holds the most dangerous secrets and that I should keep it hidden in my library.

Poseidon eyed the book in my hand that day, he told me that he met these gods in person and that the gods of gods is still around. Watching every last god and goddesses. I asked him how he knew, but he told me that he couldn't say more and flashed out.

I picked the blue prints for the architecture I wanted to give my daughter; Annabeth. I still can`t believe I finally accepted her sea pawn boyfriend for her, but what could I do? It will shatter our mother and daughter relationship that I tried working up for years with my other children.

Then I heard a knock on my door and went away to get it. Who would even come to my place when they could just do their favorite things? When I opened the door, it shocked me, it was France and he looks bored and when I looked straight to his eyes, it change from brown to silver and then silver to burning silver flames. I started thinking how can a mortal demigod could summon plasma when it`s too unstable and dangerous. Then when he blink, it change to silver iris and brown-ish pupils.

"Can I enter?" he asked politely. I was a little bit nervous on what he could do or what he would do if I let him in so I asked him a question. "Why would you want to enter? What is your business here?" I asked with my left eyebrow raised. "Heard you have a library here. So I went to check it out. We don't really have a large library in our camp, so can I enter now?" he explained. I nodded and let him come in. He walked slowly observing every details of my library and settled himself in the table with the ancient book of gods which was in the middle.

I told him no one can open it and he said, "I don't know… maybe you just need to turn the lock clockwise like this…" he said as he turned the lock, I could hear ticking noise and figured it was the gears of the lock and then there was a faint click. "And there. Now let's see if it works like the other one." He said as he turned the cover over. I expected it to be jammed or something but it opened and showed a blank page. I was happy it finally opened, but seeing it blank burned me inside.

"Blank? But, but, but that's the ancient book of the gods! How could it be blank?" I exclaimed. "Patients Lady Athena. A wisdom goddess like you should have a lot of patients." He said softly as he ran his fingers in the page. "You know I'm also a war goddess." I said in a matter-of-the-fact tone. "Yes, but you are the war strategy goddess, not Ares." He said with a half chuckle with my mistake and amusement. He sounded like the uncle I never had, if you count out Hades not being very sympathetic and Poseidon's boringness these days.

"But how can it be blank and what`s with the other one?" I asked leaning close to the book. I could smell his aroma and it smelled like cappuccino or mocha coffee. I liked that kind of coffees then I heard him speak. "The only way you could make out the content of this book is if you say the author`s name." he said. "But I don't know who the author of this book is!" I said trying to make sense on him.

He closed the book and brushed his finger on the dusty cover below the book and it revealed a name written in beautiful cursive writing. "Ele-elemento?" I tried reading the words. "It`s only simple English words in cursive. I thought you were the goddess of knowledge?" he sighed. "What? Are you accusing me that I cannot read mortal words?" I asked angrily trying to scare him. "Looks like it." He commented. "Fine! If I was soo bad at reading it. Why don't you have a try?" I asked daringly. "Sure. It say`s Elementor." He said perfectly fine. "But, how come you could read it with dyslexie or ADHD?" I asked stunned. "I don't have one."

Ok, now that shocked me to hell. He, a demigod who doesn't have any of those? How could it be? "But how? I mean, how could you don't have it? Almost every demigod has it." I said as I sited myself across the table. "Maybe I'm not a demigod after all." He said as he showed me the content in the book. I stared at him bewildered. Not a demigod after all… that phrase kept repeating in my mind.

Then the next word came out like I'm interrogating him. "Then what are you?" I said as I took the book. "I could be one of the primordials or deities. I could be anyone and anything. I could be a Norse, Roman, or Greek." He said. To me, it sounded like quite a rude joke and I would have blasted him if he wasn't my guest. "Which would you prefer?" he asked. I gave him a half-heartedly chuckle then I started reading the book in my hand.

He stood up and was about to leave when I called after him. "Hey! You still haven't answered my question." I said as I closed the book and faced him. He stopped dead in his tracks and faced me with his silver, brown eyes. He-he, I bet Aphrodite would be jealous she can`t see these. "Answer what?" he asked. "What`s the other one?" I asked. "I had a replica of the book your reading. If you wanna know anything about the ancient gods… you just say it in front of the book." He said.

I nodded and turned away. But then it was his turned to call me. "What about you?" he asked. "What about me?" I asked. "Why are you always angry at ol` Poseidon?" he asked. I froze on reading the book and looked at him. "I, uh, uh…" what the hell! I am the smartest goddess in Olympus and one simple question I cannot answer? "Ahh, I get it. There is a private and special reason why, eh?" He said teasingly. I didn't know who was controlling me but I nodded.

Then I heard a familiar, girly squeal in my head. "Aphrodite! Get out of my head!" I mentally screamed in my head. "Fine! But don't think I will not make it interesting just like you`re children." "Don't worry, I won`t tell." He said as he went away. Damn it! Now two people know my secret! Wait, what? Secret? I don't even like Poseidon! Aghh! This. Is. The. Worst. Day. Eveeeer!

Mystery Person POV:

Kids today! Their all fun, irritating and nice, but not that kid Se-Selust? Yeah, that`s it! Selust, the kid irritated me so much that he could thank Chaos and the other primordials that I have a lot of patients and that I only gave him a small blow. Anyways, I'm already walking towards in the Throne room when my phone rang.

"He-lo?" I said.

"Bro, the council has decided and that we will be packing up." My twin said in modern accent of English.

"Packing up?" I asked.

"They agreed. They didn't even let me in! They didn't even tell me why they wouldn't let me in?" My brother complained.

"That`s because your annoying and over reactive." I said chuckling.

"Fine! They said it will take six to nine months so tell them that too, kay?" he said.

"Sure." I said.

I walked past Artemis and she gave me a confused look and stood in front of me.

"Call ya back, bye. Tell Jewel I said Hi." I said before dis-connecting and placing it in my pocket.

"Who were you talking to?" she asked. She sounded my like my wife. And then I remembered my past wife. She died because one of my half-brother killed her and, an- and the child inside her because he thought I would overthrow him and shits like that. Till today, I haven't got my revenge on him and the justice they deserved.

"My brother. Please call Athena when you reach her library." I said quietly. She looked surprised but then again I could read her like an open book. And I can see that she just went through Selust`s idiotic pick up lines cause she was both irritated and disgusted. "Tell you what? Why don't you just try asking Zeus to put yourself on off limits?" I told her with a smile.

I think she smiled back but it was too small, and then it turned to a frown. "I already did that. When everyone went out of the throne room, but father pulled me back and said that I got only less than a year to look for a man to marry for my punishment for turning too many men to jackalopes and etc, etc… blah, blah, blah!" she said sarcastically. I gave her a small smile and said. "Tell me… why do you hate men so much? In the stories, it said that you had a boyfriend named Orion and when he died, you placed him in the stars so that you could look at it every day of your internal life." I said with a confused smile.

Then the next thing surprised me… She pulled me close up to her face and was giving me a death glare and this time, I was getting quite intimidated. "Because you men are pigs! You only want to get under our pants. Besides, he is not my boyfriend! I placed him in the stars to show how your kind is a mistake that Lady Chaos made!" she exclaimed. The only thing I did was I gave her a normal smile and leaned even closer pushing her to the wall and placing one of my hands at it to keep my balance- my secret weapon around women when they flirt at me -and said. "For your information, Lady Chaos is a man." I said so good she went wide eye and let go of me and started looking scared. "She- I mean he won`t come here and blast me to smithereens, right?" she said as she moved behind me and clutched on my hand shaking.

"Don't worry, he doesn't care. His probably busy nailing his wife to death right now." I said giving off a laugh. She let go of me and stared at me with half closed eyes. "What is that suppose to mean?" she asked. "That means he is busy fucking his wife after he gave his job to his son after the other one declined." I explained.

"Eww. I think even Lord Chaos is even an example of perverted men." She remarked chortle. "I know. His wife is born from his own thoughts." I said. "Wait, she is one of his brain children?" she asked with the hint of repugnance. "Well, yeah, but he made her to be his awfully, faithful loving wife that would never have other children with anyone else than him." I said.

"Ugh, that`s kinda bit weird having "that" with your own daughter." She said disgusted about it. I gave her a heart-warming chuckle and said. "It sure is but it wasn't the first one. He nailed Gaea twice and resulted to the twin gods and the god of patients, not patients like in the hospital but; patients. One was the god of gods and the other god of enjoyment and sociability. And besides, she doesn't even says anything that has a meaning of objection, she too love being and nailing Chaos even when his asleep." I said.

"So, did this god of gods become the new god of the universe or someone else?" she asked again. "Yeah, he did. Want to meet him?" I asked teasingly. "I don't think so. Well, it was nice talking to you but I have to go." She said as she heaved her hand in front of her, for a hand shake.

I took it and said "Well, it was very nice talking with you as well milady; I'll meet up you and Athena in the throne room." I said as she went away to her half-sister's palace. I was about to walk off when she called me. "Oh wait! Who`s your godly parent?" she asked. I gave her a friendly smile and said. "His name starts with capital letter C and ends with an S. It's a five letter name, it`s very easy." I said. "Who is that suppose to be?" she asked. "In time you will be acquainted with the information you want, but anyways. See you." I said as I went away.

Zeus`s POV:

Well, after everyone was done having a small break, it was now time to see if we will be granted help. Everyone walked in, in their mortal form and they began to get in their godly sizes while I and Hera sat in our thrones.

"Now that we are back. What did your companions said?" I asked France. "They said OK and it will take six to nine months." He said kinda saying the last part quicker than the first part. Then Artemis, one of my favorite daughters after Athena, butted in. "Sixty-nine months?" "I said: six. To. Nine. Months, princess." He said sarcastically but ecstatically as he cleared it. Then Artemis sat back down blushing and- wait, blushing? She never blushes! This day can just get a lot harder to let in the anticipation and head-ache at the same time.

Then he looked at me. "Yes?" I asked. "I should go now, yes?" I gave him a nod" Yes. See ya`ll later. " he said as he vanished like a mist. How? Ok, now I was getting more confused how can he vanish like a god? Afterwards, I stood up and exclaimed. "Now our gathering has come to an end. You are all free to return where ever or no matter what you all were up to." After that, all of them left, especially Athena who finally opened the book of the ancient gods. In fact, I didn't actually have anything about the book being prohibited to be red but it rather gets creepy and disturbing, just reading the old times after my siblings got consumed by our father; Kronos.

I still consider the day the god of gods took revenge on him after the death of his dear, divine wife: the deity of hope, thoughts and dreams. Born from the untainted thoughts of primordials and additional deities.

I pulled Artemis before she got out of the throne room and said. "Is there anything wrong, dear daughter?" I asked with my fatherly-tone. "No father, just the punishment i have to painfully accept." She answered in her standard, yet sarcastic attitude. "Why do you ask?" "Just making sure, that`s all. Off you go now." I said as I let go of her.

She quietly went away and I saw Selust pursue her and will try another exasperating and preposterous pick-up lines on her. I called him and he quickly went in front of me and bowed to his knees. "Yes my lord?" he asks thinking I liked this. "My daughters have requested me that to put them on "off limits", above all Artemis." I said in a firm tone and a lie.

No more than Artemis asked me this morning and I have told her that I will see what I can do and for her punishment, it was from Aphrodite`s idea that I thought could help us stop her from turning more boys to jackalopes. So after a year and she hasn't yet chosen anyone… I will be doing it for her, but I would consider fading than letting her be Selust`s wife. Then I joined my wife slash sister, Hera, in our afternoon lunch.

Only if I was to receive a less pain in my godly ass about the future, but as you can see… gods keep having a lot of pain in their asses and I'm not even an exception! Curse this faiths!

pls tell me what you all think. it helps me improve my writing skills and my speed of writing should increase and help my do things for my free time.
