Orb of the Protogenoi

Celebration

"Welcome!"

"We appreciate your presence!"

"We hope you will enjoy!"

Mt. Olympus was always grand, but tonight, the palace was not only glowing with its majestic atmosphere but the lights that scattered throughout the place and the music coming from inside made it even more majestic. At the front of the palace were horse carriages lined up, waiting for their turn to unload its master. Each one was different, representing the god's power. One by one, the gods and goddesses, with their escorts, came out from their carriages, and all of them were wearing their best clothes, hoping to be the center of attention.

Wood nymphs were carrying baskets full of petals and they were showering the guests as they marched up the stairs to the giant double doors. They were greeted by celestial nymphs and were escorted to the grand hall. There, on top of the staircase, a satyr announces their names to the other guests.

"My lords and ladies, may I present, Lord Geras, the god of old age."

The grand hall was lively, with the guests mingling with the others. The three goddesses has transformed the place into an elegant surrounding. The muses played a classical tune while the graces danced to their hearts content. Naiads served apéritifs to the guests and the satyrs served bite-sized hors d'oeuvres while controlling themselves from chasing the nymphs.

"My lords and ladies, may I present, Lady Chione, the goddess of snow."

Outside the palace, a horse carriage, designed like the ocean, pulled over. The door opened, revealing a tall and powerful god and his wife, a beautiful sea goddess, Amphitrite. Poseidon is a god feared by many like his brothers, for he controls the sea. The nymphs saw the couple and bowed humbly at their presence. One of them greeted the couple politely.

"Looks like my brother chose the right planner for this night." said Poseidon.

Amphitrite replied "Let's just hope it wasn't Aphrodite, the last one was…"

The couple cringed at the memory.

As a nymph escorted them, they made their way to the grand hall when they saw Demeter heading their way.

"Oh Poseidon! What are you doing here? And Amphitrite you look gorgeous in that dress!"

She bowed her head. "Why thank you lady Demeter, you look wonderful as well. The nymphs have made it?"

"Yes, the dryads actually, anyway Poseidon, you should proceed to the family room. Hadn't Hermes told you that when he delivered the invitation?"

"He didn't mention anything, but if that's the case then I shall go." Poseidon looked at her. "My dear, you should go ahead."

The sea goddess nodded to both of them and went ahead. The two of them went to the other direction.

"By the way Poseidon, on the way here, have you seen Kore's carriage?" asked Demeter.

"Kore? You mean Persephone?"

"Yes, and her name is Kore."

"Demeter, you must accept the name that Zeus has given her, I mean, it's been a long time. You should have accepted by now."

The goddess folded her arms and said "She is my daughter so I can call her whatever I want."

Poseidon sighed. "Anyway, I think I saw our brother's carriage lined up when we came out of ours. They should be here at any moment."

Just then, the nymphs bowed to a family and one of them said "Welcome Lord Hades, Lady Persephone and Lady Melinoe. We hope you will enjoy your evening."
