It was very simple , really Zeus thought, oblivious to the chaos around him . It was not that h wasn't andry . He was , in fcat , uspeakably furious . No , he was beyond that . He was so furious , even he had no idea what it would make him do now .
But Zeusfelt all of this only dimly , as if he had patitioned al his rage bulding up , increasinh in pressure . His mind was unexpectedly clear . He knew exactly what he wanted , what he felt ought to and must do , to protect the most precious of his offspring .
No doubt , the other Olympians were surprised that he han already thrown a fit and torn up half of Olympus , like he normally did to ket off steam . Well , no matter . There was no need to bow down to their expectations , to make a show of it .
They were alreadu doinh a pretty good job of that themselves , though eus . The minute he'd said it , the Council Hall was ince again thrown into uproar .
" YOU DAMN OLD MAN ."- Ares bellowed , drawing his sword despite Athena's futile attempe to drag it away from his hands
" You moron , that's not going to help !"- Athena
Mieanwhile Hera had taken a vice-like grip to Zeus's arm .
" In case you might have forgotten , dear, Ares is your SON."- Hera
" I don't care ! I hate him the most !"- Zeus roared , his temper snapping , as if triggered by Ares
" Besides which , you can't kill the Moirae . They are beyond your jurisdiction ."- Muttered Hestia from his other side
"Exactly !"- Clothos crowed
" I DON'T GIVE A DAMN !"-Zeus
" Brother you are being unreasonable here ..."- Hades took Zeus' other am , attempting to restrain his brother from flying over to Ares in a rage and strangling him to death
" DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO HADES . I AM THE KING !"- Zeus
" Yeah , Hades . He's King ."- Posidon
" You ... shut up , Posidon ."- Hades
" OFF WITH THEIR HEADS ! WHAT ARE YOU ALL STANDING THERE FOR, YOU USELESS BLOCKHEADS ... SEIZE THEM ."- - Zeus
" Maybe we should just leave ."- Hermes muttered to Apollo
" LET GO OF ME , ATHENA ! LET ME AT HIM !"- Ares
" Ares will ... you .. just ... calm ... down ! Artemis , could you help me hold his other arm ?"- Athena
The two goddesses were trying desperately to hold the war god back . Aphrodite, Hephaestus , Dionysus , Demeter and Persephone had long ago retreated to a far corner of the Council Hall , watching from teh distance with morbid fascinatio .
" Zeus ... will you just consider this rationally for a moment ..."- Hera
" SHUT UP , HERA !"- Zeus
" H ... HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT! I AM YOUR WIFE ."- HEra
" I AM THE KING !"- Zeus
" IF YOU DON'T STOP THIS MINUTE , YOUR KINGLY SELF IS SLEEPING ONE THE COUCH FOR THE NEXT MILLENIUM , GOT THAT !?!"- Hera
" I ...AM ... KING !"- Zeus
Unfortunately , Zeus was beyond the point wheer words could reach him .
" Athena ... do... something !"- Artemis gasped , as Ares elbowed her in the stomach
" Oh for goodness' sake . Artemis , hold him ."- Athena rolled her eyes as Ares squirmed in her headlock
She let go of Ares and dropped abruptly to the floor
" Please , Lord Zeus ."- Athena
The chaos in the room stopped. Everyone , including Zeus , turned to stare . Because , for the frist time in her life Athena was one her knees .
" I beg you , papa , please just , this once , show mercy ."- Athena
there was a brief silence , before the King of the Gods unexpectedly burst out into a roar of laughter that sounded vaguely hysterical . Hera and Hades edged away slightly .
" Silly child , I was going to obliterate them , not you ."- Zeus
His eyes widened as Athena owed further , pressing her foward to the cold marble floor , speaking rapidly , Are's eyes fixed on teh back of her neck , pale white , expose and bare . vunerable . Her voice trembled slightly , but it's tone was firm .
" That is why I bessech you . Please thete must be some way to dissolve the bond . And if not ... if you insist on punishment ... then it is only fair that O have my share . if you will strike them down and consign them to Tartarus , for all eternity , then I will likewise hold my out my own wrists to be shackled ."- Athena
There was a further silence . Ares stared at his enemy . How many times had he imagined himself bringing her to her knees in defeat ? And yet , here she was kissing the floor so that his life woulf be spared .
What the hell are you doing , Owlgirl ?
