Ares

"How did you know that this place excisted?", my mom asked as she saw where we were. We were at the 'Crystal cave', a place that my father despised. Everytime I tried to mention this place, he would change the subject. So I know for a fact that he won't come here.

"You are both not very good in keeping secrets.", I said. Her eyes widened but she quickly relaxed. "How long is this going on?", I asked. She turned her head away ashamed. "Your father is a complicated man, before you judge me listen. Your father has been cheating and sleeping around with many goddesses, behind my back or even right in front of my presence. He has been doing this for years now, and I finally had enough of it!", she screamed.

I just looked in shock as I saw the tears fall onto her face. "I will get my revenge, and it will be bittersweet", she said with a hint of revenge displaying on her face. I never seen her so vulnerable, even though I didn't had the best relationship with her something sparked inside of me.

"What do you have in mind?"

Antheia

After I told her the whole story, she looked at me with pleading eyes before sighing. "Not all immortals are bad", she said under her breath. I looked confused at her before she stood up. "Not all immortals mean you harm"

With that she started to close her eyes before transforming into a big bear.

"I am Artemis, the goddess of hunting, animals, the moon, childbirth, virginity & fertility. I swore to protect you no matter what. At first it felt like a obligation but Antheia, you've become my best friend. You made me feel loved and safe. I get if you want to take distance for me but I need to protect you"

She then turned back into the Artemis I knew as I looked at her in shock. "Y-You are a goddess?", I stuttered as I stambled back. "Don't be afraid Antheia. I am your friend, I would never do anything to hurt you or the ones you love. I am here to protect you from her", she said.

Breathless I asked her, "Who's her? Why do you need to protect me?". She slowly walked towards me reaching out for my hand. "I will explain you everything, but please don't be scared", she said. Reluctantly I took her hand, as she lifted me back on my feet.

"Antheia, you are the goddess of nature. You protect the peace and mortal love"

As soon as those words left her mouth, I stopped breathing. I am an immortal but how could that be, I lived my whole life on earth. I grew up like all the others. "How?", I asked. "You were created by The Creator, but you weren't safe at the palace. I have brought you here years ago, I saw how your mother took you. I saw how you grew up. It was for your own safety".

As she talked there were so many questions going through my head but they all were about what she meant with my safety. "Why do I need protection ?", I asked. "Do you remember when you described a tall woman with long black hair?", she asked. I nodded and she continued. "She is Hera, the goddess of Marriage and Birth. I don't know what she's planning to do but it will cause many deaths. If she knew that you are the key to stop everything she will end you. There's nothing that can get between her or her crave for power.", she said.

"But how am I the key? I can't barely understand the fact that I am a goddess", I said. That's when she pulled me closer before looking me right in the eyes. "You are more powerful than you think. What you just showed me, had me in awe. Don't underestimate your capabilities", she said. I just sat down not knowing how to take everything in. All of it, it was just a lot to take in.

We just sat there for what seems like an eternity before she stood up and took my hand. "Where are we going?", I asked as she dragged me towards the city. "Today is the Solstice", she said. That's right I totally forgot that it was today. Solstice is a day where mortals praise the immortals. This is held every single year around the same time. There's a open field where all the people would surround themselves with each other to celebrate and thank the existence of the goddess and gods.

"But wait look at what I am wearing", I said looking at my thin white dress that hugged my body tightly, leaving my cleavage a little exposed. "Here take this", she said wrapping her long scarf around my shoulders to cover my chest.

Ares

After the conversation with my mom I left. I couldn't believe the things I have heard, and I couldn't even comprehend how I didn't even noticed a single thing. The anger just riser inside of me as I laid on my bed. I couldn't get the frustration out of my mind. That's when Apollo entered the room.

"What are you doing here?", he asked at me in shock as he saw me laying on the bed. I was confused what he meant by that, this was literally me room. "What are you doing here? Last time I checked this was my room", I huffed at him as I sat straight. "Ehhh, I kinda wanted to steal your perfume. Mine ran out", he said scratching his neck. I laughed loudly as I walked towards my sideboard before throwing him the perfume. "But wait, why wouldn't you think that I would be here?", I asked confused

"Today is the Solstice, remember? Normally you would already be between the mortals", he said before walking away.

"This can help lighten my mood"
