Daughter Of Olympus

Chapter 5: Meeting Family

(Belle's POV)

It took me a while to get the hang of teleporting, or as Mom and Dad like to call it, "flashing", but thanks to my parents, I did it.

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

Upon our arrival, about half of the Olympians were here. Most of them I recognized, due to their multiple statues all around Crete.

I saw Apollo, Dionysus, Hera, Artemis, and Demeter. Together with my parents, there were only seven of the twelve Olympians. With a flash of thunder, the missing Olympians flashed in.

They sat on their thrones, and the council meeting of the Olympians had adjourned.

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

As the Olympians discussed my fate, I was huddled in a corner when three beautiful girls, who seemed to be my age, came over and greeted me.

"Hi! I'm Autumn," the first girl said. "These are my sisters, we're the Seasons!"

"Hi," the other girls said simultaneously. Kinda freaky.

"Uh, hi?" I stuttered.

They were each beautiful in their own way.

Autumn was sporting a stylish auburn sweater, along with white skinny jeans and a matching scarf, as well as leather combat boots and an amber pendant necklace. Her beautiful, ebony hair was in a side ponytail.

Summer was wearing a knee-length gossamer v-neck dress, as well along with embroidered flats with curling swirls. She was also wearing an intricate diamond necklace on a silver line. Her long, golden hair was tucked up in a stylish bun with loose strands hanging out in a cute way.

Spring was rocking a pale pink T-shirt with a lime green recycle symbol, along with matching green skinny jeans and pink flats. She had a single mother-of-pearl pendant on a wooden-colored leather string. She had shoulder-length, chocolate brown hair curled perfectly.

"I'm Belle. You guys are the seasons right?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'm Summer, and this is Autumn and Spring," she said, pointing to the others, happy to be recognized.

"Heard Ol' Thunderpants wants to incinerate you with his bolt," Autumn said smirking.

"Yeah... Did nothing, except for being born," I replied, smirking back.

They smiled and we became friends in the first five minutes. We had a lot in common, actually. They were sassy and fun, and had been ignored by their immortal parents. It was then that Zeus decided to call me up.

"Belle Marina, Daughter of Athena and Poseidon, step forward," he announced. "You are to receive partial immortality, as well as our blessings and your powers. Swear on the River Styx that you shall remain loyal to the Olympian Council, as you will become ultimately powerful."

"I, Belle Marina, Daughter of Athena and Poseidon, swear on the River Styx to remain loyal to Olympus and its inhabitants," I stated confidentially. "I accept partial immortality and my blessings as well as my powers. I will train to use them for good."

"Alright, we will personally train you on mastering your powers, you will be named our champion, and, I believe we are ready for the blessing. On three. One, two, three!"

Once again, power surged through me, along with the tingling after shock. This time, I didn't blackout. Except this time, the pain was multiplied by around, oh, let's say, one thousand billion!

As I opened my eyes, my multicolored aura was stronger and my wings had grown in size to around fifteen feet in length altogether.

"Ahem," Zeus coughed, interrupting my train of thought.

"Sorry, Uncle Zeus," I apologized.

"When our champion is ready she will be training in archery with Apollo and Artemis. Her schedule for training will be outside and you are welcome to pick one up. Council dismissed," my uncle announced.

"Come, champion, we will be training in my sacred forest," Artemis called.

Let the training begin.
