Hera's Ally

Chapter 33

Olympia Hera's Mansion....

Hera woke to scratching against her dogwood hard wood floors. The trees went extinct after the death of Christ because they chose the wood to make his cross. After that, for some strange reasonf they disappeared. Hera searched and even asked fairies and grass elves for help finding seeds or seedlings. She went to central America asking there, and every jungle there were non God. jehovah, the one who commanded them, removed all the trees.

That's the first and only time she'd seen a tree go extinct. Whonever was scratching the floor was in for a tongue lashing. Come out now! Apollo was fast asleep in their bed.

The purple 13 year old with large sharp edged wings emerged. Hera smiled, aren't you beautiful. I'm a monster he answered in God's tongue. You know the launguage? I was born with it on my tongue, Goddess. Kneel before me. I shall not I am born of a God and a high priestess I am a God as you are.

Hera inhaled you're Cupid's bustard son. I am the love of God's son. How I was conceived is of no consequence Goddess. Why are you here? To ask for your protection.

There is nothing I can do, young God. You can get safely off of Olympia and allow me to live on your island...the isle of Askeria. You've been reading, I see. The purple boy nodded. What is your name, young God? I wasn't given one Goddess.

She smiled. I shall name you Titan after the old God's. He smiled fanged rows of sharp teeth showing. Thank you, Godess in my mind. You have an ally, not an enemy. Thank you, Titan.

If I give you passage and protection, what will you render in return Titan? A secret unbeknownst to you wise Goddess. How do I know it is worth your price? It is..in me you must trust. Come closer, lean in, and whisper in my ear so your air does not vibrate your truth across Olympia.

Titan leaned in, whispering his secret as Hera's jaw dropped. I'm shocked.

The Allagheney Mountains Eros' Home......

Medussa woke up still in human form. She looked back at the bed and saw her body laying there shifted as a snake. She walked and put the bedroom she was on Olympia. Smiling, she followed the cobble stone path leading through the woods of light.

When she gotntonthr end of her path she stopped then ran to Odirus sitting on the rivers edge with a fishing pole. She hugged him tight oh...what did I do to deserve such a greeting?" Nothing but be yourself, my Lord.

I live to bring you joy, Medussa. Thank you my Lord. Sit daughter. Medussa sat you have to convince Cupid the boy must die. I tried Osirus, but it seems like he listened. Osirus gave her a look. Cupid is charming, and his charm is blinding, especially to women it is one of his enchantments.

He has no intention on destroying the boy. Then what am I to do? You must do it Medussa you are the only Goddess with the strength when shifted to defeat the monster. You must do it now he grows stronger and wiser by the hour. You must not leave Olympia until he is dead.

Where is he hiding my Lord? Hera's catacombs. In her house!? Yes, daughter. Hold on, did you call me a Goddess? He gave her a look yes Medussa I am your father."

Medussa was speechless, huh? I found your mother I posed as a commoner, a farmer, and we were wed. For years, I lived as a common man, and my life was happy. He waved his open hand over the pond in front of them. Your mother was pregnant, and I was to have my first child with a human. I was so very excited and happy. Then you were born, the image on the water showed her mother holding her. You were a Goddess, your eyes, the color of the Sahara desert that burned like fire whenever you cried.

Your mother seeing this said to me, "Who are you?" What are you.. Have I lay with a demon? Medussa she was so frightened so afraid I went to touch her she drew herself back and you.

Tears fell, causing spindles on the water in front of them, causing the image of his minds eye to dissappear. I explained to her that I was a God of Olympia, but I did not explain my position on Olympia nor that I was married to Hera, who could not give me any more children past Horus Osirus placed a daisy chain on Medussa's head.

You grew, and I knew you were an Oracle. The gift my mother, your grandmother Itis had only yours was way stronger. Hera and I remained married. However, we lived separate lives. Osiris touched Medussa's wrist.

She had her human boy toys and had you and your mother. He looked at Medussa one day. I had work to do on earth separations. This was before Eros was gifted the task. I left your mother with you it was a beautiful day. When I returned home, your mother was dead, and you sat at her feet, crying your eyes out you were four.

I touched your mother and with one touch, Medussa...

Yes, father? With one touch, I saw Hera kill your mother with a frost touch.

Ahhhh! Ahhh! Medussa sat up hissing bae whats wrong Hermes woke its okay you're here on Olympia in Eros dwelling. That's pretty, bae. What? He removed the daisy chain crown from her head. Bae what nigga gave you that?! He asked in a jealous tone.

What? Medussa was confused she looked at her wrist a gold cuff with flowers etched on it was on her arm. Try and take it off Hermes. He pulled and pulled I can't you fucking Cupid again that nigga behind my back?

Hermes stop! We are engaged no I'm not doing that anymore I'm not that type of girl and you know that don't you? She gave him a snakes death stare what do you mean. Is there something you want to share Hermes?

No. Liar she hissed with her split tongue. Please Hermes. You're Osirus' natural daughter a Demi Goddess like Tina. But Hera thought you were a humans baby and Osirus just took you both in. Osirus bound your talents he had Hestapus make a necklace that hid what and who you were.

The one with the daisy on it? Yes Dessie Osirus said you were his daisy beautiful and bright. That is his nick name for you. You have an array of enchanted items in Hestapus' vault.

Guess what? What? I need them. Why? I have to kill Cupid's bustard son Osirus has tasked me with the burden. No I'll do it. You can't Hermes he said I must do it in snake form because I'm as strong as he. Right now he is stronger than all of you.

Fuck! Hermes quiet Cupid can't know. Get dressed baby. Where are we going? Hestapus' forge we need to hurry the sun is almost up.

Lyle heard them waking Luke. What? Get dressed we need to help auntie Dessie she's in trouble. The boys dressed tearing holes in thier shirts for their wings lyle grabbed his sneaker box from under the bed smiling. They rushed down to the dock the ferry man knelt before the mischievous boys. They smiled hide us please. The ferry man nodded holding his hand open. Luke gave his skeleton hand a five making Lyle laugh.

Oh you want money? Luke handed him a $20 bill. The ferryman burned it in his palm. What the fuck dude really?! Luke it echos on the water auntie and Hermes will hear us. Sorry but he tripping bro. What does he want? Luke gave him Cupid's house ring with the eye of Horus on it. He put it back on Luke's hand holding out his fleshless palm.

This dude it fuck man. Lyle went in his pocket grabbing the Drackma Medussa gave them for winning call of duty. Here man. The ferryman closed his hand nodding. This fool is greedy wanting real gold for a boat ride. Lyle they coming the ferry man lifted a canvas tarp secured to the back of the ferry the boys hid under making themselves small and quiet. Hermes landed on the river bank so Medussa would not get dirty sliding to the boat.

Take us to Hestaphus' forge ferryman. He nodded the boat began floating easy as the boys were rowed towards uncertainty.
