EPISODE 4: Olympus-OLYMPUS-
Zeus is in his room while maids are putting his cloak on. Another maid was putting a fancy flower crown on his head. Hera comes in.
- "My dear. The guests are arriving." Hera said.
- "Wonderful." He says while turning to face her.
Kore arrived at Olympus with Nereid.
She was amazed with such place. It was a city filled with gigantic palaces and gardens. Zeus palace was the bigger and most majestic one. When you arrive at Olympus, is the first thing you see, so they headed there.
As she walked towards the entrance, she could feel the stars from the night sky in her face, that made her smile; she was fascinated. Before they could enter, the gate keeper stopped them.
- "Only gods can pass through this entrance." Said the keeper with a deep voice. "Servants shall wait in the gardens for the gathering after the dinner is over."
- "She's not a servant, she's a friend." Kore said confused and also annoyed.
- "It's okay, Kore, he meant companion... If you're not a god, you're a servant... life rules." Nereid says while letting out a subtle smile.
Nereid started walking to the gardens while Kore looked at her. She turns her sight back to the keeper, takes a deep breath and starts walking inside. She had a beautiful dress made of delicate pink flowers that were kept alive and radiant by her aura.
Her hair was shining bright... that red color that no other goddess had, and when she entered the room everyone looked at her. She could recognize some of the guests; she remembered things her mother sometime in the past told her. Like how Ares, the god of war, had a bad temper and it showed in his face, and how Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was a real beauty. In the feast hall, there was a long table that could sit at least 20 celestial beings. The table was made in gold, and so was the tableware and glasses. There were chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and golden curtains all around the hall. The room was so bright even though it was nighttime, and everybody had a glow to them, like a bright aura you could clearly see, and each one of them was different. As she was standing figuring out where to walk towards to, Zeus appeared in the room.
-"Welcome, divine gods." He said with an enthusiastic voice and raised arms. "Let's all gather in the table and enjoy some of the offers the mortals have given us."
Kore looked a little scared, she didn't knew where to head to. She saw how the gods were quickly assembling around the table. She saw her mother, felt relieved and started walking towards her so she could sit next to her. As she walked she saw how another goddess took the spot next to her mother. All gods wanted to be as near to Zeus as possible, this way, they could ask for favors and maybe Zeus would be kind enough to grant them. She ended up far away from her mother.
She sat at the table, silent. She was scared; she didn't know when she could talk or how to behave. When they were all at the table, before anyone could say a single word, the entrance of the room opened again. This tall pale figure with dark aura entered the room. White hair, rough face and a big black cloak...she knew who that was as well; Hades.
To be continued.
