Thea stood on the balcony, hands placed on the railing. It was the same balcony where she stood 3 years ago, the same day she found out who she was.

She was looking down at Olympus as the sun began to set on the horizon, painting gold the Greek buildings. She could hear the bustles of the streets, the people being over their heads with the arrival of more Gods.

"I believe this one will be perfect, my dear" Rhea said, walking into the bedroom with a huge smile on her face, a dress in her arms.

Thea turned her back on the city and went back inside. She was in her bedroom on her mother's Palace.

"What do you think?" Her mom asked as she laid down the dress on the bed.

In the last three days, Thea has been worrying too much about the party, with her wanting to cause a good impression on the other Gods.

That's why, she came to the profesional.

In the light, the white dress shimmered like stardust captured in fabric. It was a masterpiece of elegance—a fitted bodice flowing gracefully into a floor-length skirt that seemed to cascade like liquid silver. Thin, delicate straps framed the shoulders, adding a touch of fragility, while the deep, open back accentuated a timeless allure.

Every inch was dusted with a subtle glitter, catching the light and creating an ethereal glow, as if the dress itself held a thousand tiny stars. Around the neckline, intricate beadwork sparkled, complementing the gown's overall brilliance, making it worthy of a goddess.

"It really is perfect, mom" she said breath-taken, as she admired the dress.

"It will make all the other Gods jealous" Rhea brushed a strand of her hair, squeezing her hand.

"I don't think that's a good idea" she joked raising an eyebrow.

"The eyes will be on you either way" Rhea shook her head and sat down on the bed next to the dress "Might as well look the most beautiful ever"

Thea smiled at her and grabbed carefully the dress. She walked over to the folding screen, as she did three years ago. It amazed her how fast time flew. A reminder of her immortal life.

"Will you be there?" She asked her mother, as she took off her clothes.

"No, my dear" Rhea replied from the bed "It is a party for the Minor Gods, and they wouldn't like to see a Titaness there"

"But you are not like them!" Thea complained with a shake of her head, as she slipped into the dress "You are good! You're the Great Mother!"

"Yes, darling, but I'm still a Titan. The whole point of this party is to keep the Minor Gods on their side. The presence of a Titan, the enemies, will not help their cause"

"But you're on our side!" Thea said walking out of the folding screen.

Rhea gasped and took her hands to her heart at the view of her, her eyes shining with love to her daughter.

Thea has always been beautiful, even when she didn't try. She was a Greek Goddess after all.

In her years at Camp Half-blood, everyone always assumed she was Aphrodite's daughter when meeting her.

But with that dress, she looked like something out of this world. No one would hesitated to say she was the most beautiful, more than Aphrodite herself.

"You're stunning, my dear" Rhea commented, with a smile. She stood and walked to a desk with a mirror "Come, I will do your hair"

Thea grabbed her skirt with one hand and walked towards her mother. She sat down on a stool and looked at the reflection of her mother, as she started brushing her hair.
