Us Against The World

Chapter 20

I was super excited to get a gift! Who wouldn't want one? I saw dad sitting on his throne and I smiled hugely. I walked over to him and gave him a hug as he shrunk down to meet me. Hera ran to Cassie her for once good child. Zeus became impatient with our antics as I walk to daddy and sit at his feet.

"We will be giving you gifts and domains," Zeus says his booming voice carries throughout the hall.

"Cassiopeia Monroe, you have been given the domains of storms, Air, Gravity, and electricity. Your sacred animal is a fox. Now does anyone want to bless her?" Zeus says.

All of the gods raise their hands exept Apollo, Hades, and Hestia. Apollo leans back in his throne ,while Hestia goes back to tending the hearth. I am surprised, everyone likes Cassie.

Cassie's gifts are

Zeus: better control of her power

Aphrodite: charmspeak, more beautiful, can change into any outfit

Ares: better weapon control

Poseidon: permission to enter any water area, slight control of water

Hera: good marriage

Demeter: snaps food and food appears

Athena: battle strategies

Hephaestus: ability to wield fire

Hermes: Ability to steal like his children, run super fast.

Artemis: better bow skills

"Now onto Andromeda Jackson, her domains are snow,Ice, Magic, kleptomaniacs, Stars, Forests, Darkness, and shadows. Her sacred animal is a wolf." Zeus announced. Why do I have so many titles? Seriously darkness, shadows? Its like foreshadowing something that will never happen. I don't want Cassie to feel bad because I'm more powerful. Hera is a good god, but she isn't overly powerful at all.

My gifts were

Hestia - her champion (food,fire, things from the home)

Hades - princess of the under world (honorary not actually)

Apollo - better singing, ability to play guitar

Artemis - ability to teleport to any forest anywhere and to the hunters are.

Demeter: control plants

Aphrodite : change apperance, change outfit

Poseidon and hermes : better control

Hera- good marriage

Ares, Athena, Zeus and Mr D bless me. Mr D didn't bless anyone. I was worried about what the boys would think. Would they hate it? I am so worried what if nico won't like me because of it. What have I done.

"These domains are given by the fates, they know your future, past, and everything in between. Therefore they gave you domains that may seem weird now but not so far in the future. You are dismissed," Zeus says. I give a weak smile to each of my parents and give Hestia a hug. I decend the elevator Cassie next to me. We have the same thoughts. What if they don't like us anymore? What if they use us? What will happen next?
