The Lover of Hermes

What Are We?

"Just to be clear, I never wanted to do this in the first place," I said to my third eldest brother Posthen.

Posthen just laughed and jumped off.

" Come on, Sea! It'll be fun!" he yelled back at me.

Then, all my other brothers jumped off too.

I looked around for an excuse but couldn't find any.

I hated this game.

You had to jump off a very high cliff then, packages come dropping down.

You have to grab as many packages as possible and the god with the most packages wins.

And I always lose.

Not because I'm a little smaller than them, but because I'm always scrunched up in a ball and trying to tell myself that I'm not falling down a high cliff but, I'm on my bed reading a good book.

Sooner or later I'm going to have to rat my brothers out and get them in trouble because everyone knows I'm Posthena's favorite child so of course my parents are going to take action.

Once I pushed myself out of my thoughts I made the biggest mistake of my life (And that's saying a lot coming from a daughter of Athena), I looked down.

I backed up and fell on my back.

'I can't do this, I can't, it's too high" I said aloud.

"Well, you won't have to do it" I heard a voice behind me say.

I turned around and found my brothers.

"Yeah, the game is already finished" my 5 eldest brother, Tioleto, said.

And, yes his name is 'Toileto'.  And still to this point, I have no idea what my parents were thinking.

I sighed a sigh of relief.

I gave them a small smile.

" Sorry," I said plainly.

"Hey, don't blame yourself, blame Zeus. He's the one who took you from Mom's arms and dangled you in the air threatening to drop you if Mom didn't agree with his plan to... to... to... to do something. I can't remember what." said my 4th eldest brother, Martian.

The others agreed with him probably about the threatening thing and not the remembering thing.

I couldn't tell.

I wiped my palms on my jorts( jean shorts).

"Yeah, I guess, but I'm still telling Mom and Dad that you made me do this game for 150 years already," I said running off.

Not literally, I can teleport to places I want to be since I'm a goddess.

Instead, I went over to Corneila's place and knocked on her door.

Demeter answered the door and invited me in.

I went over to Corneila's room and heard kissing noises.

Ugh, she must be making out with her boyfriend, Silento the god of silence.

Rumors say he was birthed from silence.

I never really liked Silento, he always took my bestie's attention away from me.

I knocked on the door and smirked when I heard a groan that was clearly annoyed and someone got up from the bed... or was I was it the desk?

I don't know.

Silento answered the door and groaned "What do you want?".

I just pushed him out of the way and went towards my BFF.
