Chapter 2

While Medusa was having the time of her life in Hades chamber, Olympus was gradually falling apart and the gods were not making it any easier for Zeus. In the great white hall, the eight main gods sat, making a hell of a noise. To Zeus, it was like baby sitting overly powered kids that had no home training. Then again, he was just like them.....all eight of them; 

Poseidon god of the sea, sat with his golden trident and crown, very intimidating with all his godly build and huge blue tail.

Athena goddess of wisdom and battle strategy sat next to Poseidon , ever so proud of her hair and white robes with a warrior's head gear to adorn it, spear in hand.

Ares god of war, Athena's male counterpart sat next to her, adorned in silver armor and a blade that was a little too sharp.

Hephaestus god of metalworks and fire, a personality that rarely was at the hall, was sat beside Ares. His black leather bodysuit made him look like the sexiest blacksmith ever and his fire hued hair was bedazzling.

Across from there sat the other four;

Aphrodite goddess of love, she looked like the ideal woman, perfect in every way. She had on a light pink robe and adorned herself with the whitest of pearls. She was breathtaking.

Apollo god of the sun, well, he couldn't be seen as he was blazing too bright as all the other gods had to shield their eyes.

Hermes messenger of the gods and god of mischief, he was in his usual servant robes but in a more godly form, with his winged sandals and staff.

Tyche goddess of luck and goodwill, she was the most humble of all, she had her bronze outfit decorated in sparkles of gold, just for luck of course.

And at the front of the room on a throne sat none other than Zeus  himself. 

I sat there on my throne, trying to get these children to stop bickering...it was irritating!

"Silence! All of you!" It was becoming harder to do this job....of ruling Olympus. I walked to the middle of the hall, my bolt in hand.

"The earth has shown signs, bad signs."

"Zeus, we can't just sit here and ignore them, these signs mean something!" Poseidon stood to declare his point....I motioned for him to sit.

"No we can't brother, but what can we do!"

"Maybe I can be of help" The glowing Apollo said. "A long time ago, the gods were overthrown and their children took over, to start a new Olympus. These children were able to start over, that is before one of them decided to rule over all, by himself. Kronos killed his fellow titans and once again, the children were preserved to start over as they banished Kronos to Tartarus. Throughout time, the cause of this fresh start came from the underworld. The titan of the underworld; Iapetus was able to cause the victory in the first overthrowing of gods. He was thought to be pure evil but brought balance. Hades fought with his brothers, side by side and they defeated Kronos and Hades was thought to be pure evil. The time has come again for Olympus to be cleansed from our reign. Our time has come brothers and sisters, should we fight the unstoppable or let fate and destiny take it's course?"

"Fallacies! Lies! All lies! That's what he speaks, who would kill us? Us, the gods of Olympus. There is no one in all of Olympus as pure as evil." Hermes screamed at the top of his voice.

"Don't be a fool Hermes, we all know that Apollo speaks the truth. Our time has come....I can feel it." Poseidon looked at me knowingly.

"But who Poseidon? Who is evil enough to bring us to the hands of extinction?" Athena didn't speak like someone who wanted to right a wrong, she jus wanted to keep her seat at Olympus, at all costs.

"I presume Hades?"

"No Poseidon, Hades fought with me and you to banish our father to Tartarus and he is part of our line."

"Then who could be so disastrous to bring death upon our reign as gods of Olympus Zeus?" For the goddess of luck, Tyche asked the wrong questions.

"I have no idea Tyche but  we need to find out and fast."

"I have a feeling that this person or persons are working overtime with some real powers."

"If you know anyone Athena, don't keep us in suspense!"

"If we all die, the only ones that will benefit would be the demigods and nymphs! We should get rid of them! All of them!"

"Athena, every immortal, god, demigod and nymph will all be dead so it can't be the nymphs." I'm not surprised she thought that way, power hungry bitch!

"Fine then brother, who is it? Who is the person giving us all this worry over our lives?"

"I don't know Poseidon, but I will find out. I must."

"Or maybe we could just let fate take its course." The gentle voice of Aphrodite's soft side spoke.

"Why do you love to see people suffer? Yet you call yourself the goddess of love?"

"I don't like seeing people suffer but what else do you want me to say Hermes! What! We haven't exactly been a huge difference from our parents! We were to do better, but in all honesty, we seem to be doing worse! The constant stupidity and immature tantrums! If we're being honest here, we've been absolute shit! Let's just come to terms with it ....okay?"

"I totally disagree with you Aphrodite. We can make our own destiny and determine our fate. After all, it is what we tell the humans, isn't it!"

"Hermes, sometimes we can't determine our own fates."

"We don't even know what would happen. If it is a war or we will just fade out and here we are bickering over it!"

"I agree with Hephaestus brother. Let us make the most of what little time we have left."

"I thought we would never need to worry about time, hmmmm. We all thought it would never end. Now here we are, worrying about time, even I, Zeus, is worried."

"Such is life Zeus but we must all be able to understand, everything has a season. Even the immortality of gods comes to an end sometime."

"I know Tyche, but....."

"But nothing brother! Meeting adjourned, let's get back to our lives." 

And they all whooshed themselves away....in the most godly way of course. Sitting on my throne, I realized that they all looked up to me. Me, the ruler of Olympus to figure this out......but I can't! 

They all know we are going to be overthrown so why fight it! Why don't we just work hard to right our wrongs...

"What a silly thought. The gods righting their wrongs.......that's so human."

Tyche was right, everything comes to an end eventually, even the immortality of gods. Hades came to my mind. He might be the bad egg but, I still care, I care about all of us, that's why I'm trying to solve this! Trying to put all the pieces of this puzzle together.

Apollo didn't tell the rest of the high gods the full story..... 

"For when the tree is destroyed, a new one shall spring forth from the one surviving branch and it shall create a stronger tree."

That was what he told me before we had the meeting. The tree would most likely be us, the gods of Olympus, but the branch, what is the branch or rather, who is....?

Hera's gentle voice danced through the hall as she swayed herself into the halls.

"You need something else to think about Zeus. Come with me."

Hera pulled me from my throne, taking my hands as she guided us  both out the hall. We reached out chambers but, none of us wanted to let go f the other so we could open the doors. I looked at her, expecting her to let go....she didn't.

"And how do you want to get those open?" 

"Like this." Her legs hooked the handles and the doors opened. Talk about a talented woman.

"Very impressive."

"Not as impressive as what I'll do to you in this room." 

She gently dropped her silk gown, she was a true goddess with and without it anyway.

Laying on the bed, beckoning me to come for a feasting, one I could not reject, how could I! I dove for the bed and the feast began. Her hot kisses colored my neck to my growing length. She began working her tongue magick on me and soon, it wasn't PG 13 in the room anymore. 

I wasn't in the mood for Hera's tongue magick so I grabbed her frame and placed kisses on her neck, Hera was a sucker for a macho guy. My luck, I had centuries of practice being all macho. Her moans filled the empty room and the magick began. 

Gently driving myself into her, she arched her back gracefully before motioning for me to move, it was gentle love at first but the symphony of her moans made my blood spike. It soon became rough and passionate...macho if I'm using the right words. The vibration not our love made its way through my arms as I placed them on our bed. It was divine.

This wasn't what I had in mind so I pulled out of her and she whined at the loss and emptiness. Slowly working my kisses up from her thigh to her full round bossom, nibbling the tips. Hera was in pure ecstasy.

While my mouth worked her bossom, my hands played her wet spot between her thighs. She was screaming with pleasure and so, I switched my positions. My hands worked the bossom and my mouth her wet spot. Hera screamed for the heavens to hear as she was being blessed by my tongue magick. 

It didn't ring for her to please me, all that rang in my head was to make her scream till the heavens dropped, but that would be the end of humanity so, just to make her scream a little. Once she had reached her max, we jus lay there, looking into our eyes with so much love and passion.

"Thank you Zeus." She breathes with what little strength she had left. I guess you can say I left her breathless.

"No, thank you Hera for letting me make you feel loved." It was too late, she was fast asleep. I gently pushed her baby pink curls out her eyes and gave her a kiss on her head. She looked angelic.

Soon I was also drifting off to a blissful sleep. All seemed calm and peaceful, for now that is. I would give anything to be this way forever. All was at peace in and out....and I loved it.

The battle was yet to begin but the sides were very evident, Medusa vs the gods. It won't take long till it was obvious to all, the only people left out of this war was humanity.....to me, the most important part of this war was left out, but not by a long shot would we die in silence for a hero would come forth to fight for us. For now, humanity would take a break while the gods and mystic beings sort out some 'family issues.'
