Apollo and artemis: take on the city

Special 2

Another..... not so normal day in olympus, zeus got into another fight with hera. Athena is angry at aphrodite, and demeter became a therapist for hera ( at least its a good thing ).

Okay, let me start with zeus. Zeus is wandering back and forth in the throne room, wondering how is he going to make up with his wife for the next who know's how many time this day. As zeus was wondering, hestia came to tend to the hearth as usual in her morning routine and she saw zeus looking anxious in the throne room. Hestia, being a kind and sweet auntie and sister decided to find out what's bothering zeus.

" my lord, is everything all right? " hestia ask

" no... " zeus mumble

" if there is anything i can do to make you feel better, maybe cookies or how about some nice heat from the hearth? " hestia said

" no hestia, you don't understand. It's about... hera " zeus admitted

" oh... what happen now my lord? Did you- " hestia ask

" No! I mean... no, sorry din't mean to yell. Actually... " zeus said

He began explaining how after he sent a letter to artemis and apollo, he began searching in a magazine to find a present for hera on their 21'st century anniversary ( and also an anniversary to say sorry for all the can't keep it in his pants moments ). As he was searching, he saw pictures of really beautiful model wearing beautiful accessories. Zeus thought those will be perfect for hera.

However, as he was looking. Hera caught a glimpse of zeus looking at beautiful woman... again. It was a misunderstanding zeus said but hera wouldn't have none of it, she believe zeus had change but she wrong. Hera loudly proclaim she doesn't want to see or talk to zeus ever again, then she left.

Zeus din't know what to do, he told hestia everything and wonder if it was best if he and hera never married in the first place so she wouldn't have to suffer so much troughout her entire immortal life. Hestia being the oldest was the wisest out of her siblings, so she knew the right adviced for zeus... in fact it was the adviced she always wanted to give to him when he started his well... you know what i mean. They sat outside of the parthenon and hestia shared some sisterly adviced.

" my lord, if i may adviced maybe instead of always apologizing. You should show hera that you really love her " hestia said

" how? She doesn't believe me anymore, i wouldn't blame her. I hurt her so much and i can't believe until today that i realised that i'm not just hurting my wife... i'm also hurting my sister... " zeus said sadly

" i know, hera and you have been trough a lot. Not just back then but also today. While you're marriage din't started and go well but, you can still make it up by proving your love " hestia said

" seriously, how do you suggest i should do it? How can i prove it if my own wife wouldn't even look or talk to me in the face " zeus ask

" hm... i know! My lord let me help you " hestia said

" really? " zeus ask and hestia nodded

" yes, its time i took my duty as a goddess of family seriously. I always want to help you and hera but was always so afraid, this time not anymore. Let's clear up this misunderstanding together " hestia said

" ..... okay..... i trust you hestia, i trust your judgement. Anything to get her to talk to me, and maybe just in time for our anniversary " zeus said

Hestia clicked on the word anniversary.

" That's it! You're anniversary! " hestia exclaimed which surprised zeus

" hestia? " zeus ask

" my lord, leave everything to me and the others. I will get them to help me, you just worried about the gift you're about to get her " hestia said

" okay, if you said so. You're hestia, there's no one in olympus who wouldn't want to help you ' zeus smiled

" i better go " hestia said

" Oh wait! Hestia! " zeus said

" yes my lord? " hestia ask

" thanks... for being there with me... i'm grateful we can talk and hang out like this. And, if possible. Can you please stop calling me lord all the time? Just call me brother or zeus " zeus said

" oh... uh... " hestia mumble

" come on it's not that hard, i'm your youngest brother and you have every right to call me anything you like. And... it's a command from the king of the gods " zeus said

Hestia remained silent, it's been forever since she called him that. Eversince the war with the titans, hestia always called him that but now that he's king hestia decided to call him lord from now on as a sign of respect. Hestia was always humble, never sought powers, and just want what was best for her families.

She... like the rest of her siblings except zeus, never got a normal childhood thanks to their dad ( the world's second horrible father ). Who swallowed them when they we're babies, to avoid a terrible prophecies of being overthrown like their grandpa ouranos.

However, hestia managed to get know her siblings even when they're still inside kronos' belly. Demeter was a neat freak and want everything to be in order, hera was a queen's bee the minute she can talk but still nice and loving, poseidon was a total showoff, while hades likes to act like he's invisible ( maybe he's shy? ).

While hestia, was always calm during her time there. She can still remember her mother crying about her being swallowed that really left a scar in her heart, and when she heard her mother gave birth to her final baby. Hestia wonder, if he would suffer the same fate as them.

But to her surprise, he din't. In fact, a rock join them instead. While the siblings was confused, hestia was relieve that no more babies have to go in kronos' belly.

Then, after another few years. They've finally been rescues by their brother zeus, the siblings we're happy they're out and they gladly followed they're brother on a rebellion agains't the titans.

After 10 years they won, and claimed the world as they're own. They finally became the gods they we're meant to be, at first everyone thought everything was going smoothly after the titanomachy. But boy... we're they wrong.

After zeus becomes king, he wanted a wife who would rule alongside him. First he married metis, a titan who help him overthrow kronos. At first it was going well, until gaia warn him that any child that metis bear will kick zeus' butt right out of his throne.

So like a really crazy person, he swallowed metis so she can't give birth ( joke's on zeus, metis give's birth anyway to... athena, goddess of wisdom and instant favorite child. A total headache for her dad like... literaly). Which freak hestia out who saw everything, not only that. He started taking more wife, like themis, demeter, the titan mnemosyne, and so much more.

Hestia became even more afraid of zeus because of that, but like any kind sister she still love him. And when he finaly married hera his final wife and they're life's goes downhill fast, hestia always wonder what she can do for her family. Now she can, hestia slowly open her mouth and said.

" yes, brother " hestia said and zeus smiled and dismiss her

Hestia walk trough olympus, thinking that zeus have matured for the past few millenia ( well, she's not... hafly wrong... ). And hestia hope, she can keep that fire burning bright inside everyone else.
