She hated the god she had to call her father!

She didn't deserve this punishment!

She was not her mother who wanted to live a life where her spouse slept with other people! Especially when her spouse didn't even talk with her about it like her father did with her mother!

She was a god and had the right to divorce her spouse!

Hephaestus hated that she was punished for divorcing Aphrodite but she wasn't regretting doing it.

It may be stupid but after being sent to earth while being a complete human, since that was the punishment Zeus gave her, she had once again met people who showed her what a true family was like.

Tesla.

That was the last name of the family who had seen her looking lost and sad in the middle of the street and decided to take her in.

They showed her what it was like to have a family and she was thankful for that.

Euphemia Tesla was the name they gave her, she had to lie and say she wanted to separate herself from her past and change her name completely since Hephaestus wasn't a girl's name(she was still unsure why her father gave her a female human version but at the end of the day, she had never given a shit about gender especially when one of her favorite nephews/stepkid was born with both genders), and she did her best to make them proud because they didn't need to take her in but still did it.

She adored her new 'older' brothers, Josif and Milutin didn't lose time in teaching her anything she needed to know and to always be there to protect her since she still had the problem in her leg.

Euphemia loved her new life and hoped that she could watch all of them have a happy life before dying or that no one needed Hephaestus to create a weapon and got Zeus to end his punishment sooner.

"Neh, Euphi" Duka, Milutin's wife, calls one day as she and Euphemia are preparing some snacks for the kids "How was your past family?" she asks since she had been curious about that since Milutin presented Euphemia as his new sister

"....Not the best but it could have been worse" Euphemia answers because the only other answer that she could give was that her family was greek but that would only be understood by others gods

"I see" Duka hums, understanding that Euphemia doesn't wish to talk about it

"Auntie! Can you help me with this?" they hear from the living room and Duka smiles softly because her oldest child, Dane, adored Euphemia

"I will be there in a minute!" Euphemia says as she finishes preparing the orange juice

With that the two women make their way to the living room with the snacks and join Josif, Milutin and the kids.

'I wish I had kids of my own' Euphemia thinks as she watches the other kids play as she helps Dane with a project 'And little Dane will be an amazing inventor in the future'

Hades was tired.

There had been a war in the human world and now he and the other gods in Helheim were still dealing with the fallout of it.

If only he could take a break....

"Hades" he heard and looked to see his ex-queen, him and Persephone had divorced a few weeks ago

"Yes?" he asks since he didn't expect her to come here as she was helping judging the souls that had ended in Helheim thanks to the war
