Orb of the Protogenoi

Problems II

A/N: I've noticed from the previous chapters that I haven't been doing well (they're mostly dialogues or "More talk, less act." -_-) and I've decided to "improve" it, starting with this one. :)

"Come on you two, wake up!" Apollo was having a hard time waking his brothers. Since he was an early riser, he took it as an obligation to wake up the others.

"What the…"

"Come on Ares, the others are already awake, you need to get up. You too Hephaestus."

Ares looked at the clock on the nightstand and glared at the boy. "Are you nuts? It's freakin' six in the morning!"

"Yes, and like they always say, the early bird catches the worm!"

"Screw you!"

"Oh come on, we need to start waking up early so when we go to school, we'll be fresh and ready to learn more from our classes."

Ares just glared at him like he had gone mad. He then threw a pillow at him. Their bedroom door opened and revealed Zeus. "*Yawn* What's going on here?"

"Well Dad, your son has lost it. He's waking us up at this damn hour!"

"I know *yawn* what you mean, but, you two need to get up. Dionysus made breakfast and the two of you are the only ones we are waiting for."

"Aww come on-"

"That's an order Ares."

The two had to get up and follow Zeus downstairs. They saw the others looked like they have not slept.

"Hermes, wake up! No sleeping on the table." said Zeus as he passed the boy.

The boy brought his head up and glared at the ceiling. All of them took their seats while Apollo said "This is how we should start every day. We wake up early and get some hot breakfast." He regretted it though, because of the glares he received. Dionysus came from the kitchen and laid down the last dish and took his seat between Hephaestus and Ares.

"It's a good thing you know how to cook, Dionysus. I don't think any of us does." said Zeus.

The boy smiled. "I'm often at the kitchen back at Olympus. I watched Aunt Hestia cook sometimes until she started teaching me."

While having their breakfast, Poseidon asked his nephew beside him what he and Hades talked about yesterday.

"Uncle just taught me some of the medications. He also gave me a first aid manual so I can study them and be prepared next time."

Hades heard the two and said behind his newspaper "And you should be for you're the only one, apart from me, who has the capability to learn faster in the field of medicine." He then put away the article and looked at him. "I trust that you will read it for our sake?"

"O-Of c-course Uncle…" replied Apollo. He eyed his scrambled egg and started to eat it quickly.

Hermes and Ares tried to stifle their laughter as they watched their brother fidgeting.

Hades noticed this and asked "Is there something comical for the two of you to start snickering?"

"Nothing Uncle." said Hermes, and then he drank his orange juice.

"Alright, that's enough, finish your food or we'll be late for school." said Zeus.

"School?"

"Yes. Don't tell me you forgot about it Hades."
