Hidden

Chapter 16: Caged Dove

I am not like the other Olympians.

Because I am not a god.

I am a titan.

My name is Aphrodite and everyone thinks I am the daughter of Zeus and Dione. But I am a child of Ouranos, just like Kronos. Everyone thinks I'm the stupid Olympian, that I'd rather be picking out clothing at Forever 21 than fighting a battle. They just haven't seen me.

The real me.

Love is joy, but love is also pain. I can use pain to inflict Chaos among my fellow 'Olympians' to make them see how strong I really am. They can finally see who they have been calling weak for four thousand years. Though, sadly, I couldn't do it on my own. I had to decide who would stop me, and who would help me.

So I secretly went down into Tartarus one day and found Akhlys, the goddess of poison. She told me that she would help me if together we took down Persephone Jackson. I agreed because Persephone Jackson was my top threat, and threats need to be dealt with. After Persephone is dealt with my rebellious daughter, Piper, will be next. Oh that will be fun.

We create a bomb and kill off Anthony Jackson, destroying her one love. Place a poison so if she ever loves again it will kill her. And finally, take her out of the equation completely. Make a curse that will cause everyone in the Greeco-Roman world to betray her. Make her feel weak. And think that they killed her.

And once I kill her, we'll release the curse and make the Gods fall into Chaos while I usurp the throne and cause the world to see how powerful I can be.

And now the poison is working its magic to kill Persephone slowly, painfully. The Gods will finally know what it's like to feel weak.

Those stupid Avengers don't stand a chance. Neither does that Norse who thinks we'll save the day. What a moron!

He just doesn't know who I am.

I am Aphrodite, a caged dove, and the bars to that cage are crumbling.
