The 13th Olympian

A.N:   Okay as you all know this is my first story and I am not yet a pro writer so bear with this cause seriously I know I fail when it comes to fight scenes...

----------------------------------------------------

In Her P.O.V

When Hades began to protest, the Heavens were into a never ending battle. He freed Ares from his cage which made the war for Athena even harder. Poseidon sided and aided with Hades, with him was Hermes and all the forces of the underworld. Athena was the only warrior who stood for her side for though all the other six was with her only she was experienced in this field. And instead of having fate's side with her it appeared to be the other way around. She needs to protect them, making her load even heavier. How could she win this war if she was to defend an additional six Olympians aside from herself?

 

 

She was focus on combat with Poseidon when she saw on her peripheral vision that Hades was about to slain Hera, she knew she could do nothing with it, if she let herself unarmed Poseidon will take the chance to defeat her.

 

 

She prepared herself ready for the goddess' scream when she heard the enemies groan instead.

 

 

"Forgetting someone?"

 

 

With a familiar voice, she came to glimpse for the mighty god of the sun on his bow and preparing another arrow to shoot. She was glad to see she's not alone in this battle and for the first time in her existence she was glad to know that she committed a mistake. How rude of her to forgot about Apollo?

 

 

She smiled at the thought and continued her fight... They fight for 90 days and 90 nights.

 

 

Summing it up, the war lasted for about three months time if we'll use the mortal calendar as timeline. And Athena was victorious; again she had won another battle. Her comrades were not as useless as she thought them to be, she and Apollo served to as the offense while Hephaestus guarded the other way. Hera and Venus obtained some scratches but at least finally they have experienced using swords and spears for the first time in their lives. Hestia was the only one needed to be taken care of but other than that the war had been smooth.

 

 

And though it's hurting on her part to have killed Poseidon she knew it was just necessary for her to survive. While for Ares, she let Apollo took care of him besides, for all she care, Phobus would do the same even if she did not ordered him to.

 

 

Hades was sentenced to forever be imprison on the underworld and never will he be allowed to step on Olympus, and for Hermes? He escaped when he got the opportunity to.

 

 

Regarding the Olympian court Athena and the remaining Olympians decided to gave the vacant spots to their heirs. Athena took that of Zeus, Artemis' will be given to Athena's child. Poseidon's son will be replacing him. That of Ares will be given to Venus' child, while Hermes chair would remain because he's still alive and so his position will stay until such time that he himself will give it up. That of Hades? Hera suggested keeping the spot vacant for she was thinking if she could reserve it for an unexpected event. And then with that Olympus was in peace for the rest of the years...

 

 

"The end.." and then the goddess closed the book

"Wow, my mother was really that great at her time?"

"Yes Cassandra, Athena is a legend up until now. You should be very proud she was your mother."

"I am! , though she's always strict when it comes to me."

"She's expecting you to follow her steps, which explain why she needs to be that strict with you and with your twin."

And then a knock on the door was heard...

"Cassandra your twin's wedding is about to start we should better be going."

"You should go now, your mother is waiting."

"Aren't you going with us?"

"I'll come follow after you." and with a smile Hestia lead her to the door. And there they saw Athena standing by the doorway.

"Hestia, nice to seeing you inside the palace." and they gave each other a smile.

"Yeah same here, you've been busy for the past years. I seldom see you hanging around; you seem to enjoy ruling Olympus are you?"

"It's harder than you think, anyway aren't you going with us?" Hestia takes a look to Cassandra only to see her niece already looking at her and as their eyes met they gave each other a meaningful smile.

"What?" Athena asked innocently.

Hestia gave her a laugh before finally answering her question, which only makes the goddess of wisdom, raised a brow.

"Nothing really, it's just that your daughter had already asked me the same question few minutes before you do."

"Oh-key? well she's my daughter after all. I would not be surprise to know that she thinks the way I do. Nice chatting with you but we're in some hurry right now."

And before they left the hall Athena bids her goodbye.

"See you around Hestia." and with that together with her daughter, they left.
