"Amazing choice, Selene," Zeus announced, as everyone started clapping. (even Dionysus😮)

"Now, me and Selene must discuss what she shall become the goddess of," Zeus yelled, "MEETING CANCELLED!" Everyone got up from their thrones and started to leave, some went to other rooms, some fully left Olympus. I nervously crossed my legs as I stood waiting for him to say some recommendations. Luckily, Zeus spoke up first, "I have decided, Selene."
"You are now the goddess of royalty, feminine power, grace and conquests. How does that sound?"
"Sounds amazing, Lord." I gratefully answered, actually glad.

He smiled, "Great, then follow me to the fates," Zeus chuckled, as a hint of worry scurried through my heart and brain.
We walked through the rooms, I was there thing my head each time I saw a breathtaking tapestry.
"Here we are!" Zeus at least exclaimed, and I edged next to him.
"Please step in, Selene. Do not be alarmed, you will be perfectly safe inside," he reassured me.
Taking a deep breath, I swung the doors open and strolled inside. It was stunning, long blue ling of silky string whirling around the room, as four women stood in long capes and there hands together as if they were praying. (Yes, this is a reference from Blood of Zeus, now shut up) "We have been expecting you, Selene," the first woman said, stepping forwards.

"Hello madams," I politely greeted them.
"I can sense your fear and worry, you mustn't be nervous, child." the fourth one announced, standing in line with the first.
"I hear you are here in the presence of becoming a new minor goddess, do I stand correct?" the second one asked, also standing beside the others.
"Yes ma'am." I quickly answered.
"We must ask you a few questions before we begin the process," the third one smiled, eventually stepping forwards.
Finally, after they asked me the random questions, they began the 'process'.

Magical, mysterious mist fizzled and sizzled around me, I was appalled at the sight. Eventually, the noise and fog died down and it stopped. Interested, I looked down at myself only to see that I had a beautiful gown on, I looked magnificent!
"Wow, I look amazing!" I gasped, excited.
"Very, my dear, but now, you are a true goddess, with all the responsibilities a minor god or goddess would have!" the third woman announced.
"Thank you, truly." I gratefully thanked them as I left.

By my surprise, Zeus was still standing there, waiting for me. "Well, hello there, you sure do look different, Selene!" he instantly said.
"Now you must follow me, I need to show you a tour of Mount Olympus!"he added, striding away from the building.
I followed, eager to continue.
