and descriptions of these characters can be found at the end. FYI.

-Some years later-

(Tzuyu's POV)

We can't go on like this.

This afternoon, Momo and Hera almost killed each other during the Council. That was because one of Momo's nymphs wishes to get married and my sister is trying in every possible way to prevent her from doing so.

And this afternoon at the council, Hera decided to come out with this story, for no reason:

"You should let her do what she wishes, Momo. You behave like a tyrant," she began. I sighed and exchanged a desperate look with Jihyo; we both knew what was going to happen.

"Maybe you're not entitled to speak about tyrants, Lady Hera." Momo replied indifferently. She is not the most tactful person.

"And why is it so?" Hera asked with a cold voice. Actually, she knew perfectly well what Momo was thinking.

"You know why! And maybe tending to husbands and children is not what one wishes eventually," Momo growled back. We watched the debate silently, too used to such fights. I just don't know why they need to jump at each other's throat.

"And who speaks about tending to husbands?" Hera retorted indignantly.

"Hera, Momo, please. You are both exaggerating. Now just take a long breath and calm down." I cut in slowly. They both looked at me with wild eyes but then complied and we went back to our discussion.

"We really need a moderator," I told Jihyo when the council ended.

"Yes, I agree. And I have someone on my mind too," she answered.

I looked at her expectantly and she clarified, "I think Mina would do. And moreover, it is time for her to join the council."

I thought about that. From what I know, Mina is an intelligent and quiet innocent god, but would she be able to confront the more powerful gods? Some of us can be really scary sometimes and I hear that she is quite the shy type.

Jihyo seemed to perceive my doubts as she said, "Do not worry, Tzuyu. She appears quite defenseless but she is not. Should we entrust her this task, we would not be disappointed."

"Very well. Let's have a talk with our father about this matter," I said.

And so we decided to take Mina as a mediator. We shall see.

(Mina's POV)

Tomorrow I will join the Council for the first time and more than that, I will become the moderator.

"Do not be too sweet, Mina. Some of the gods need to be reminded of where they are." Jihyo told me yesterday. What should I do, then? Enter the Council Hall with a hammer?

I'm nervous.

Nayeon laughed about my concern and told me not to worry, but still. How am I supposed to keep them quiet?

Damn it, I'm behaving like a mother hen!
