The Lover of Hermes

154 Years Ago ( Short Story)

*Third Person Point Of View*

"Mommy!" said a young voice " Where are my birthday presents?".

"Now, Now dear, be patient, will you? Guests are still on their way here" said Athena.

The little goddess crossed her arms and put on a pouty face.

She didn't look too happy.

The little goddess looked very mad.

She wanted to get the party over with.

She just wanted her presents.

As much as her parents told her that she should be patient, she never listened.

She wanted to be alone and get things over with.

There were already tons of guests that arrived at the party, why does she need to wait still?

Then all of a sudden, the King of Olympus entered the room with his wife, Hera, and his 7-year-old son, Prince Everest.

Prince Everest is a pretty big deal around Olympus.

Little Seanna didn't know why though.

She was too young to understand what her parents were planning.

Prince Everest came over to talk to Seanna.

Now Seanna doesn't want to admit it, but she thought Prince Everest was kinda cute.

You could say she had a little crush on him.

But not a big one.

Yes, she was turning 5 today, but she was a smart one and she was planning on growing into a preteen body by the end of this.

Her father, Poseidon, jokes around saying that she's a little businesswoman.

You got that right!

Seanna has been planning a way for every drachma in the world.

She is going to be the richest god ever known to man.

"Seanna? I got you something for your birthday" said Everest as he kissed her hand.

The goddess's face lit up so brightly, it illuminated the whole room.

A few gods and goddesses were complaining about the light.

Prince Everest began to take something out of his pocket when Hera came and stopped him " Wait until it's time to give presents, Everest, my love".

He nodded and smiled at Seanna before he kissed her hand and walked away to the snack area where they had tons of ambrosia snacks.

After playing games and having fun -though Seanna just wanted to get her presents to be able to see what she could use to get her infinite supply of drachmas- it was time for presents.

She opened the presents and examined the gift closely and slowly.

When she opened each gift, the owner of the gift winced and crossed their fingers hoping that she would like it.

She looked satisfied with some, happy with others, and she wasn't as upset as her last birthday party.

She said "Thank You" to all the guests as they left.

Prince Everest kissed her hand once again as he exited the door.

She might have blushed a little but if you ask her, she'll just say she doesn't know what you're talking about.
