ANASTASIA

"Antheia, please stay here. I'm almost done", I said placing her on the bed. She smiled at me innocently, giving me a few moments before she starts all over again. I focused my attention back on the pastries I was making.

"I'm so tired", I thought to myself as I felt my eyes getting heavier. It's been hard maintaining her and the garden. I couldn't even let her near the flowers because of the fear she could've ruined them even more.

I knew that her rough nights were finally over so I could work during the night when she was asleep but it was still hard. "Antheia", I said. She didn't respond with a noise so I looked back to see her dozed off on the bed. "Maybe I can close my eyes for a few moments.", I thought to myself as I laid next to her.

I felt myself slip away as everything around me turned silent. I could feel myself at peace until I heard the door slam. "Antheia", I sat up straight. I quickly looked around but she was nowhere in sight.

"No", I kept repeating to myself as I sprinted out of the  house. The panic rise as the surrounding forest seemed so quiet and silent. I started to run towards the path leading away from the house but after a few steps, I heard her giggles emerging from the garden.

"Antheia", I sighed in relief. "Antheia, please don't leave the house because - ", I yelled but quickly stopped in my tracks. "What happened?", I said as I looked at my garden.

"The flowers flourished so beautifully but how? How did it fill my garden so full that I had to wring my way through them.", I thought to myself.

Flowers surrounded me from everywhere. Some I haven't seen before and some were almost impossible to grow on this land. As I began to forget the entire reason I stood there, I saw Antheia stumble out of the bushes, looking all muddy and dirty. "Antheia", I smiled.

She quickly turned around as she walked towards me. " I can't believe this", I thought to myself as I placed her on my hip. I couldn't comprehend what was happening but my focus quickly shifted away as I saw her look at me with a smile on her face

She clapped her hands excitedly as she smeared the mud all over my face. I chuckled seeing her smile so bright. "Let's bath ourselves", I smiled glancing back at the garden in front of me.


ARTEMIS
Meanwhile at the Olympian palace

"Come on Artemis, why are you taking so long ! Everyone is already waiting .", Athena said.  "Why do we have to meet so much", I sighed as I rushed out knowing that Athena was already furious about the fact that I am late. "Someone called the meeting", she answered.

"I know that, but I don't get why we need to meet", I said in annoyance.

We arrived at the northern side of the palace to see everyone waiting in the Council hall. "Why are we here?", Apollo asked. Everyone was standing there besides Zeus and Hera. "Where is the 'mighty' Zeus and his wife Hera.", I said rolling my eyes. "They should've been here", Aphrodite answered as she looked around.   "Who called the meeting?", Athena asked rolling her eyes. Nobody answered and we just looked in confusion at each other. That's when we heard three pairs of footsteps approaching us.

"We did", Zeus and Hera said entering the Council hall with someone behind them. "Who's that?", I pointed out. That's when the large figure stepped aside and walked closer towards us, giving us a better view of who he was.

"I am Ares, the god of bloodlust and war.", the tall figure said looking down at us. "I get the confusion so I will explain. He's our son, and we took time away to see him grow. You will have to accept him as your family so we can live peacefully.', Hera said not giving us a chance to answer before walking away with Zeus.

We just stood there in shock not believing that they could've hold back that information from us. "So...", Apollo said clapping his hands together. "I'm Apollo, this is my twin sister, Artemis", he said pulling me forwards. Ares looked down at me before smirking, "You seem like someone that hasn't had fun in a while, maybe I can change that for you", he said planting a kiss on my hand. I quickly pulled my hand away, giving him a disgusted look.

"Don't mind her, she's pure. My name is Aphrodite", she said seductively. The scene that displayed in front of me made me nauseous, just looking at it. "I don't need to see this, I am leaving. ", I said going towards the balcony leaving the rest behind.
