" He's dead !"- Demeter was shrieking her voice seemed to come from very far away , to Zeus
" Gods cannot die , Demeter . He's just passed out ."- Hades' voice drifted towards him
" I tell you the shock ... must have stopped his heart . "- Demeter
" Nonsense ."- Hades
" Athena ... How could you do this to your own father ?"- Demeter
" Oh for goodness sake , Demeter calm down ."- Hades said still calm
" I mean I expected something so irresponsible like this from Ares ... but ... you Athena ?!"- Demeter
" Shut up Demeter ! Didn't they already say it was an accident !?"- Artemis spoke up
" Thank you Artemis ."-Athena
" Accident my foot . I always knew there was something , fishy going on with those two !"- Demeter
" WHAT !?!"- Both Athena and Ares asked at the same time
" Mother ."- Persephone
" Don't you take that tone with me , Persephone ! This is just perfect isn't it ... the heavens are about to wreak doom upon the mortal realm , the gates of Tartarus are gong to open , the Titans will return and pound us all to dust ..."- Demeter
" Demeter , I assure you, the gates of Tartarus are well sealed ..."- Hades
" What we will do know without our King ?"- Demeter
" Hey , I'm the second oldest , so technically ...."- Posidon
" Don't you dare Posidon ."- Hades
" Well , if Zeus is dead ..."- Posidon
" LIKE I KEEP SAYING , HE IS NOT DEAD !"- Hades
Zeus moaned , trying to open his eyes . There was silence before everyone started to clamour again .
" Give him some space ...Step back , give the man room to breath , for Tartarus sake , see what I told you Demeter ."- Hades
Zeus' eyes fluttered open . The exquisite ceilling fresco greeted his blurred vision. He fet cold marble pressing agains his back . Apollo's face appeared over him . The Hera's , furrowed with concern . He felt a hand on his forehead .
" His awake ... Hestia the ambrosia , if you please ? I don't know how long it will take him to regain his senses, since it's his first time ."- Announced the healing god
" Athena ... Athena ... where is she ? I want to see her ... Where is my little owl darling ?"- Zeus mumbled , attempting to sit up , only for Hera to push him gently back down
" He still calls you that ... ow! You didn't have to punch me Athena ."- Dionysus whispered
Athena's face came into view above him , cheeks flushed bright red . He reached for her , feeling her strong , warm hand close around his own .
" Ah , my beloved child ... I had a strange dream ... a terrible dream in fact ."- Zeus
" Is it so , Lord Zeus ."- Athena's eyes were looking everywhere but him
" Yes. I dreamed that you and that scumbag Ares had taken a Styxian vow and gotten married . Isn't it horrifying ?"- As he spoke , Zeus felt his strengh slowly returning and his mind wasn't so fuzzy now
" I fear that it was not a dream ."- Athe muttered , barely audible
That was a pause before Zeus spoke up
" Is that so ?"- Zeus
" Yes ."- Athena
Another pause . The other had fallen silent , as well . A near- tangible tension had settled in the room , a all of them waited warily for Zeus to explode into a frothing fit and rain havoc upon Earth .
Hermes , Dionysus, Aphrodite and Demeter were already sheltering behind a pillar , should Zeus start lauching projectiles . The last time he'd flown into rage in teh Council Hall , he had picked up all the throne in his wrath and hurled them one by one at them .
Dionysus still had the scar on his temple where the edge of Posidon's throne had clipped him during that incident .
"Hera ?"- He said his tone oddly businesslike . Somehow his calmness was infinitely more terrifying than if he had burstinto a rampage
" Yes ?"- Hera seemed suprised to be addressed
" Where is Ares ? And the Moirae ? "- Zeus
" All still here ."- Hera cautiously
" Good . Restrain them and bring them froward . Athena ?"- Zeus pulled himself into his feet
" Yes , my lord ?"- His daughte regarded him cautiously, keeping her distance as if expecting Zeus to strike her at any moment
" Fetch my thunderbolts ."- Zeus
The goddess froze .
"Might ... might I be sol bold as to ask why , my lord ?"- Athena
There was a terrifying pause , in which everyone seemed to be holding their breath , before Zeus replied unblinkingly .
" Because my dearest child ...I AM GOIING TO KILL THEM !!!"- Zeus
