The Earth Monarch

Chapter 8: Olympus

3rd POV:

Atop Mount Olympus, the new tallest mountain in Greece, now with Othrys' peak sheared off, 6 gods stood at its peak.

A man with long black hair and beard, which billowed in the wind, with electric blue eyes that gazed at the beautiful landscape, stood in front of the other. He wore golden armor, and held a blue lightning bolt in his hand.

Beside him was a dark skinned man with green eyes the color of the sea. He had raven locks and beard that was more tame, yet untamed at once. He wore bluish silver armor, and held a golden trident, which was planted in the ground.

Sitting on a large boulder, opposite the green eyed man, was a blonde with green eyes that resembled the forest. She wore a dress made of moss and wheat, and carried a golden sword that rested on her lap.

Behind them, a man with long black hair that covered his onyx colored eyes, with pale skin sat on a flat rock. He wore black armor, and carried a bident. He was being bandaged by a girl in a white dress, with black hair and brown eyes.

A girl with charcoal hair, and fiery eyes on tan skin sat beside the dark man, wearing a red dress with a black cloak.

"Truly a beautiful sight, Zeus. Though, it's way to cold to be living at the peak," the green eyed man said, rubbing his arms with cold.

"Not at the peak, Poseidon. Maybe just an observation deck, but not housings," Zeus answered, smiling softly at the view. "Can I see it?" The dark man asked.

"No, Hades. You need to rest you injuries," the girl in white replied, wrapping the Gods arm in bandages. "I can still stand, Hera. My legs weren't broken. Back me up, Hestia," Hades complained.

"Let him up, Hera. Let him see the view," Hestia said, giggling softly at their antics, not noticing the affectionate look Poseidon sent her.

"You need to firm with patients, Hestia. We can't let them walk all over us," Hera returned. Hades kissed her on the lips, freezing her in shock. He then got up, and over to his brothers. "You were saying about being firm?" Hestia giggled, as Hera glared at her.

"Congratulations on your victory, Gods. The Titans grew too bitter and tyrannical, much to my sorrow," a guy said, stepping towards the 6 gods. He had glowing bronze skin, and unruly raven hair that hung to his eyes. Said eyes were like a black hole, terrifyingly beautiful that sucks in your soul.

He wore simple clothes, cotton shorts, leather boots, and a silk vest. A great-sword was sheathed on his back, validating his bronze muscles are real. The girls blushed golden at his muscles, which were open to the world.

The guys glared at the guy in jealousy, just Zeus was smiling slightly in recognition. "No thanks to you, Lord Perseus. We really could've used your assistance in the war," Zeus retorted.

"You forget that I raised them, Zeus. To fight against them is similar to killing my own children. I simply cannot do such a thing," Perseus replied.

"Pleasure to see you again, Lord Perseus. What brings you to the peak of Olympus?" Hestia asked, forcing down her obvious blush. It spiked again, as he looked to her in fondness.

"A new age of deities has arrived. I've lived amongst the Primordial and the Titans. Now, it is time to live amongst the Olympian Gods. If you accept me, that is," I answered.

"Of course, milord. You are always welcome on Olympus," Zeus replied, smiling warmly. "Thank you, Zeus. Now, shall we begin in the construction of Olympus? There won't be any slacking when I'm around!" I called, heading down the mountain. Hestia, Demeter, and Zeus groaned, rubbing sore spots from previous training.

Time Skip:

The Gods sat atop Mount Olympus, in the heart of Greece. 6 beings on beautiful thrones in a massive golden-marble hall. An honorary throne sat in the very center of the semi-circle of 6, reserved for Perseus.

To his left was Hera, then Demeter, then Hestia. To his right was Zeus, the Poseidon, then Hades. In the center of the hall was a large brazier, with a massive purple flame of Hope.

"I hear that 3 Children were born from Hera. Bring them forth," Perseus said, looking at Zeus. He nodded, and opened his arms. The massive doors opened, revealing 3 children.

The eldest; a Son. He had black hair and leathery skin, beady red pig eyes, and very bulky muscles. His sisters were very similar, just the youngest was more innocent, and softer looking.

"Fates! Do be so kind, and reveal their domains to us!" Perseus called to the heavens, causing some to flinch in fear, despite knowing he'd be fine.

With 3 flashes of white light, the 3 Moirai appeared in their elder robes and wrinkles. "Hail Ares, God of War, Violence, and Bloodlust! Hail Enyo, Goddess of War, Violence, and Bloodlust! Hail Hebe, Goddess of Youth, and Children!" They announced.

"I propose my-I mean, our son onto the Council!" Zeus exclaimed, his voice literally thundering for effect. "Denied, brother. War is not something that the world needs," Poseidon replied, most of the Council agreeing.

"I actually agree with Zeus. Yes, as a God of War, he will be able to instigate War and be the cause of it. However, a God of War is needed to keep wars in check. If there are no deities of War, then there isn't any to stop such a violent action in the world. Look how bloody the Titan War was. There wasn't any deity of War during that," I debated.

"Thank you, Lord Perseus," Zeus said. The council, at my words, agreed to the vote, and a throne made of weapons and blood rose beside Hades.

Ares bowed in thanks, and took his throne silently. Zeus tried the begin agains with the meeting, when a goddess literally dropped in. I looked to my internal clock, before addressing the beautiful deity.

"Aphrodite, you're 3 minutes late. Did you forget, or are the Fates playing a joke?" I asked, giving the 3 sisters a questioning glance.

"My apologies, Lord Perseus. I slept in this morning, and I also forgot that I could've asked the Moirai to bring me," Aphrodite replied, bowing respectively.

"I see. Well, introduce yourself to the council," I said. "Hello, my name is Aphrodite. I am the Goddess of Love, Beauty, Pleasure, Desire, and Sex. A absolute pleasure to meet you all," she said, sending a seductive wink to all present.

"Who is your parent, Goddess. We have not heard of your existence," Hera asked, scowling at Zeus, while he squirmed in his throne.

"She was born from Ouranos, when Cronus killed him. I found her wandering the lands to the east, across the Mediterranean," I explained. "I propose her to be on the Council, which is why she's here now. The Domain of Love is a Primordial concept, and she deserves such a right."

Hera and Demeter nodded their heads in acceptance, Hestia looked impassive like Hades. Poseidon, Zeus, and Ares looked giddy at the thought of spending time with her.

"Fates, is there anymore reasons that you remain here?" I asked, addressing the silent trio. "Our mother and father have requested your presence in Tartarus, Lord Perseus. Along with this, the Hesperides have contacted us to inform you they wish to have your company again," they answered.

"5 Beautiful girls want to spend time with Perseus. Man, how I wish I was you," I heard Poseidon mutter under his breath. I rolled my eyes. "Inform Lady Nyx and Lord Erebus that I accept their invitation. Please also inform the Hesperides that I will come after my meeting Tartarus. Zeus, am I required for this meeting?" I asked.

Zeus shook his head, as the Moirai flashed out. "Then I will take my leave. I offer a warning; Zeus, make sure to remember that you're married. Poseidon, think before you act. And Ares, don't do anything stupid," I said, before disappearing into the floor.
