The Artemis Daughter

Chapter 16

"As you know, Vany is the daughter of Artemis and Poseidon. She's the first child of Poseidon too. Theseus Triton isn't Poseidon's first child. We hid the history of Vany..." he looked at me sadly. "... we didn't have any other option. You were so powerful. On the day you were born... everyone felt your power. Not only gods! Monsters and humans also felt your power.

Everyone loved you so much. I and Persephone has different opinions for children but you... I don't know both of us also liked you a lot. You played in Olympus, on earth and in the underworld too. You learnt how to fight with every weapon when you became five years old. Once you defeated Aris too..." Hades laughed while going through my past. When he tells me about my past, those memories came into my mind. It made me laugh too.

"After that he didn't dare to fight with me" I said while laughing. Hades nodded his head to agree. "Do you remember you fired Zeus beard?" Hades cracked. Nico also burst into laugh by it. "Ah, it was a mistake. I was just two years old. It's not my fault. He was the one gave me his lightening."

"Anyway..." Hades started to speak again. "... you were able to control all the three worlds too. We don't like when another someone control our worlds but you helped us to control them. You gave us great ideas too. You became our official helper at the age of seven. You could even defeat all of us and become our queen but you always respected us. So, we didn't scare of anything. You could send Gaia back to her endless sleep alone too. Kronos was just only a cry baby in front of you..." he took a big breath. He looked so sad.

"It was Aphrodite's fault. She wanted you to fell in love with a boy. We didn't even any problem too. So, we chose a mortal who was two years older than Vany and gave all of our blessing for him. He was a wise, handsome, strong and he had every talent a human should have. You must remember Alex.

After we blessed him, he became like a sub-god. We introduced him to you when you were sixteen years old. Both of you made a cute couple. Everything went smooth and everyone was happy until Gaia wake up. On your seventeenth birthday..." he stopped to catch his breath. His eyes were filled with tears. Nico's face was filled with curiosity.

Well, I don't remember who was that boy that I fell in love with but I remember there was a boy that I loved so much.

"... all of us gathered to Olympus to celebrate you seventeenth birthday. Humans also came to celebrate it. It was opened to everyone to celebrate your birthday. We didn't use any of our security systems on that day as we didn't need it for a long time... for seventeen years. Every monster scared to attack to Olympus as they all were scared with your power. Gaia suddenly woke up out of blue. She killed every single human who came to your birthday. It wasn't only Gaia woke up... Titans and Giants woke up too. We weren't ready to a war. It was a jackpot to Gaia and her sons. They attacked us. We put our all energy to defeat them. But our power wasn't enough. Gaia attacked Alex who was fighting with Iapetus with Apollo..." Hades's face darkened and showed pain.

"Alex was really a warrior as his name says. Unfortunately, Gaia's unexpected attack broke his powers. He was lucky to stay alive because of our blessings. I shadow travelled and took him away from there. He coughed blood. I took Apollo's place and Apollo ran to Alex to heal him. You saw Gaia attacked Alex and was hurt badly. You..." Hades's tears fell on the ground.

"... you used yourself to save the world, Olympus and to save Alex. You attacked the Titans first. There were only few left and you send all the titans back to Tartarus by sending the last titan... Cronos too. We were fighting against the giants so you straightly went to Gaia. You used all power and sent her back to her endless sleep and you fell on the Olympus ground. You... you didn't have breath... you weren't breathing! The war ended at the moment you fell on the ground and Gaia went back to the sleep." Hades was crying so hard.

"Gaia took your life with her when she fallen sleep again. You saved all of us... once I thought that it was our fault to loosen you but if you hadn't fall in love, you must be still alive. It was the scariest thing happened in the history. So, we planned to hide that history." I felt happy after I hear that I died once. I've saved the whole world!

"So, what happened to Alex? Now he's god of what? Andyou said that mom and dad only had me as their child? Please tell me whathappened after I died?" I was too much curious.
