Time: Present
None's POV
Artemis looked angry. Strike that, she was positively fuming and if this were a comic, she would surely have steam pouring out of her ears.
Hades! not only had she just forfeited her title as the most 'unbreakable' and 'unapproachable' of all the divine females that made up the Olympian hierarchy- by not utterly destroying that cursed piece of memorabilia, but what she had also forfeited was the absolute promise that no -NO male was ever going to be able to breach her protection over her huntresses. The protection she had promised to each and everyone of her friends, her sisters.
To think that not only had a male god managed to sneak past her camp defenses but had also easily immobilized her made her fury burn a hundred times hotter. And now all she could do was sit hear and listen to her embarrassment being laid out for everyone to judge. Her 'dangerous' image would be ruined.
----------------------------------
Apollo, with all the fondness of a little brother had wished a glass of water into existence and was holding it out as an offering to his sister as they made their way back to her throne. It was one of those moments when Artemis truly felt glad for his presence.
Not everyone would probably understand this, but having a twin is like having another being that is a part of you, of your soul, and even if they aren't always with you, they always seem to know or sense what is wrong. They seem to be capable of never judging and always understanding.
And maybe you don't know this but that is rarer than looking for and tap dancing in a pair of the Shoes of Terpsichore. It's pretty nice having someone in your corner when the whole world seems to be against you, you know? Well maybe you don't, but having someone who is always ready to comfort you and lend you their shoulder; Someone who is always available to listen to you rant and even give you advice at times. It's good. Yeah, having a twin is good.
With her head held down and ears red, Artemis apologized as per what Apollo had advised her to do.
"You know its inevitable, right? You can't just take the book and tear it to pieces. I mean, I'm in whole agreement with the 'rippin it apart' idea but I don't think that will work exactly, cuz one- I wanna read it real bad and two- since it's linked to our 'potential survival' or something. I know, I ,for one don't wanna die. So I think you might wanna maybe, take a step back, you know?", and he backed away shrugging over-exaggeratedly as way to emphasize his point.
The council looked at her as if she had lost her mind, and maybe she had for a moment but she was now back to her haughty coldness a she sat straight backed in her throne, as if daring for anyone to say something about it.
Luckily for them, nobody had anything to say about it.
"SOO...If you done with you mid-immortality crisis, can we begin now? I seriously wanted to know what happened between- ", Viola cut herself off, because even matchmaking immortal high priestesses under the protection of the love goddess, value their lives.
She motioned to Athena, who wasn't paying any attention to anyone, as she was busy speed-running through the diary entry, the pages flappy wildly about as she flipped through them.
"ATHENA"
"SISTER"
"OWL GIRL"
"THEENIE".....
Several voices shouted at once as multiple people made it their responsibility to make Athena aware of the fact that they were indeed waiting for the "dirt' to be dished out. Impatient imbeciles.
Athena looked up sheepishly, and promptly blushed as she was met with Artemis's furious glare.
"As if this isn't enough pain, but must you betray me as well?" she asked, her face covered by an upset frown. It wasn't everyday that your closest friend betrayed you by taking sneak peaks at what you think is the most embarrassing and painful episode of your immortal life.
"Well, if it's any consolation to you I didn't read much since the words have stopped appearing. AGAIN." she huffed out her frustration, blowing a bit of hair off her face.
"Would you STOP staring at me?" she had turned towards her left, and found herself matching eye to eye with a certain sea god. His mouth was slack open. yuck.
"W- what?! don't flatter yourself, I was staring at the BOOK, NOT YOU- I-I...", he stumbled over his words as he tried to explain, and one Poseidon's flailing arms hit Zeus, who was sitting right in between them, smack in the face.
As Zeus roared in protest, Perseus, who had been sitting quietly with Hestia, spectating the godly ruckus, decided to make his presence once again known.
He sighed and put two of his fingers in his mouth, letting out a shrill taxi-cab whistle, as only a true New Yorker would've.
