Olympus is the place where the Gods and Goddesses of Greece reside along with their offspring. There they lived in fabulous palaces of marble and gold. It is located just below the snow-capped peaks of Mount Olympus covered in clouds with its golden gates guarded by the three Horai. No mortal was allowed to travel to Mount Olympus to try and find Olympus because it cannot be seen nor found. Within the golden gates of Olympus, you'll find the marvelous palace of Zeus, the smaller but never any less grand palaces of the other gods, stables for the immortal horses, and a colosseum fit for sport where the daughters and sons of the gods and goddesses play in their spare time.

There's never a day in Olympus where the sun isn't shining during the day and the beautiful moon isn't glimmering in the night sky. That is unless the god of the underworld, Hades, stops by. We begin our story inside the golden palace of Zeus where he sits on his throne with his son, Namjoon, standing by his side playing with a lightning bolt that he sprung out of the palm of his hand, twirling it in between his long fingers.

Namjoon had light brown hair compared to his father's blonde hair. He was tall and well built, any immortal looking at him can tell that he was the son of Zeus, and the younger brother of Hercules. He had a nice round face that showed his dimples when he smiled. He wore an expression of contentment as he stood next to his father's throne with his back against it. Much like Zeus, Namjoon had absolute control over the winds, thunderstorms, rain, clouds, lightning and weather. He could also control the lifespan of mortals.

Everything was going fine until it suddenly turned dark, the candles and lanterns all around the palace lit up with blue flames instead of their usual orange hue as the heavy doors flew open. In walked Hades, a frown on his face while he walked with gusto towards his brother. Trailing behind him was his son, Yoongi, his normally bored expression so different compared to his angry father.

Yoongi was a little shorter than Namjoon, but not stubby by any means. He was thin and walked with a certain elegance, not bothering to look at any of the servants working in the palace as he just wanted to get whatever his father's complaint to his brother over with. With his hands in his pockets, he followed his father. The only reason why he came was because he wanted to see his friends, he didn't care much about what his father was mad about. Yoongi stood aside and leaned against one of the pillars, casting a shadow upon the room that matched his mood. He was able to control the darkness and the undead, run at great speed, turn invisible in his own free will unlike his father—who had to use his helmet to be able to turn invisible—and he could drive any mortal insane with fear just with his godly presence.

"Ah brother!" Zeus greeted them while standing up from his throne, a big smile on his face, "what brings you by?"

"Can you please tell Athena to stop banishing mortals into Tartarus? Hecate won't stop talking my ear off about how she's working too much," Hades complained.

They heard Yoongi sigh from behind his father, "you dragged me out of Tartarus to complain about the amount of souls you're getting?"

"Oh shut up, you didn't complain. You want to see the daughter of Athena," Hades rolled his eyes, turning back to his brother, not aware of the fact that his son pursed his lips as he blushed at the mention of Athena's daughter.

Namjoon chuckled from beside his father, shaking his head at his friend, "I can feel the darkness quivering."

"Don't make me drive you insane with fear, Namjoon," Yoongi threatened, knowing full well that that power only worked on mortals.
