Another long day of work well done!

I watched as the glorious sun had set, letting the moon shine. Artemis can take it from here.

I lead my chariot to my temple's stable. The magnificent glowing white and gold of a temple came into view, leaving me to wonder what offerings were left for me today.

I sure can do with a good jam! Maybe some Lady Gaga or Lincoln Park. Oh! Or Beethoven! I guess I'll have to wait until I'm inside to make a decision.
Billie Eilish is also good.

The stables next to the temple opened up, allowing me to land the chariot to let my horses rest. We did great work together.

I got off from the chariot, undoing their straps. They shook their heads in appreciation, slowly going into their own corners to rest.

I heard a throat clear towards the entrance. Frowning as I held sorted the straps, I saw Hermes in his traditional Greek clothing.

“Hermès? Why so formal?”

“Father has an important matter to discuss. He suggested that we arrive like this.”

“But now, though?”

“Yes.” He turned slightly, staring at the sky that's slowly gaining a dark blue purplish tint. “It's so urgent that he has requested every last god and goddess to be present.”

My eyes widen. What could be so important to have all of us in one place? “Alright then.”

Hermès nodded and left speedily. I hung up all of the straps, fed the horses with a nice treat.
Upon entering my temple, I saw many offerings as per usual. Many little trinkets that symbolize my power and being. Beautiful and well kept Hyacinthus flowers.

Looking at them made me sad, but the gesture is nice. It's not offered with malice.
I glanced at my throne with a sigh. Looking up at the ceiling, I saw many sun inspired drawings and doodles that I had received from my devotees. On the pillars music notes floated about.

I slowly ascended the steps that lead up to my throne. As I did, my footsteps glowed behind me.
The soft glow spread out to the entire step and went up the pillers closest, eventually reaching the roof.

The whole ceiling was engulfed with a bright light like the sun. Every little sun there radiated warmth and comfort.

It's been quite some time since I sat down on this throne. I closed my eyes, sitting down.

What used to be a glamorous white suit changed to a traditional Greek Chiton tunic. A golden laurel crown dawned my head, giving my long snow-white blonde hair a few golden strands.

Lastly, a sun tattoo crossed my chest. It could only be seen where my chest were exposed.
"Right, I should get on with it."

I closed my eyes, focusing on Mount Olympus. I felt a pit in my stomach soon after. It was like the feeling when you descent a hill with a car. The gravity messing with your stomach. That feeling.

Opening my eyes, I saw most of us were here already. In one corner I saw Poseidon, Zeus and Hades in a hushed conversation.

“Brother.”
I felt Artemis's hand on my shoulder. One wouldn't think that we are twins. Unlike me, she had pitch black hair with a moon pin in her hair and then she had silvery eyes where mine were golden. Her Chiton was silver with a few stars here and there.

“Do you know why father summoned everyone?”

“No idea, sis.” The both of us glanced back at the hushed conversation.
“It worries me.”
