The woman had become desperate.Yes, very desperate.She had prayed to her Patron, begged and cried that she helped save her child before the evil destined for her daughter prevailed.But she never got an answer.Athena, had gone silent on her.Nektaria did not even know how it happened, was not even sure if the story that the slave had told her was accurate but it was the only thing she had going on that seemed to be true.Her daughter, who after her birth, everyone had thought she would have been under the same familia as her Mother, was found to have a different emblem on her back.A blue peacock.Hera herself, had even come on the day of her birth, presenting her with a gift, it was the gift of life, a coin, that if one had in his or her possession when they died, could reach the underworld and come back, though the coin only worked once.Even though this turn of events had shocked everyone, they celebrated the birth of the daughter of Charilaus Diamandis, the head of the Apollo F
It was her eyes that Hades had noticed first.Brown and wide with awe and admiration, she stared at him not with fear but with curiosity."I like your white hair," She said, her voice echoing through the dark hall of the Underworld.Hades stared at her brown curly hair, his pale hands brushing it. "Would you like to have it as well?"Her smile had brightened up the entire place."Yes,"~Leonidas woke up with a jolt, his head banging as he turned to avoid the sunlight burning his eyes before he presses his head more to his pillow.This dream again...They were always different dreams, but it was the same people.The same girl with curly full hair and brown eyes that seemed to radiate power in a way that made Leonidas want to bow.But Leonidas knew that he was not supposed to bow or even want to bow and that was where the problem really came from.Sighing, he got out of his bed, a free hand moving to his bouncy dark brown locks over his youthful and pretty face that was a beauty for mos
She woke up like other days.Laying straight, staring at the glass stained ceiling that had an image of Hera in her finest reverie.Persephone knew that she was supposed to worship her because she was her Familia.Yet, great emphasis on WAS.The story still was something that she never liked to dwell on, or think about though she found herself being reminded of it every single second she woke.For Persephone never really knew why the gods decided to play with her as early as she could remember, though it wasn't entirely surprising, the gods were monsters in their own ways, and toying with mortal lives meant nothing to them.Sighing now, she sat up and stared outside the window as she had for the past three months, noticing that the snow and ice was gone, that it was first day of Spring.That she would see Him today.A small smile came to her face as she slides off her bed, a robe over her body then opened her room door, staring through the halls, then as she was sure no one was there,
"Would you stop playing for a second and look at me? Yes! Like that, let your hair veil your face so I can see your eyes! Perfect! Oh don't give me that look, I shall release you to keep playing your music soon enough if you can be a good enough statue and stay still! Ah, yes, the sun does marvelous wonders on your skin, who knows, you might be godborn."Leonidas had tuned his friend out there, his fingers gently plucking the strings, a smile on his face.It was the only thing he could do perfectly without being clumsy or hurting someone else, something that should be considered a talent, if of course, men who were caught playing it were not ridiculed for their whole lives.Not that he had ever played it for anyone except Loukas but the first day he had tried to and sing as well, Loukas let out a loud guffaw and told him that from the stories that Hermes had told him from his numerous travels, any man who could play any stringed instrument was never welcomed to parties, which was of c
"How long does it take you to wear a cloth?""I would stay longer if you make one more complaint Achilles, I swear on my feminity!""We both know there is nothing feminine about you.""You having a stick in between your legs does not make you a man, dear, I mean, guess who broke your nose when you thought she was a female?"He had grown quiet.And good riddance, Persephone thought, now tugging on the jacket, her eyes falling on the mirror infront of her that showed the exasperation she felt.There were beads of sweat on her forehead, her hair was packed to the back so that she could let some air touch her face at least, her chest rose and fell heavily and she felt oddly restricted in this men wear but if it made her ride her horses better, she knew she could bear it.Until of course, she exploded and poor Achilles would be at the receiving end of it.When she opened the door and met his grateful look, she smiled, "Do you already regret today?""It is your birthday." He said, like she
Charilaus Diamandis walked into the hall, gold blonde hair glistening with his green eyes looking like it could strike you down with a glare, shoulders puffed and hand behind his back.He did look like a god.And it was not unknown knowledge that the gods were horrible parental figures.Hades and Achilles stood and bowed to him, he paid no heed to that, however, his eyes were staring at his daughter who was waving enthusiastically at him. "Have you gone to Hera's temple to praise her?"Persephone rested her chin on her hands, a smile on her face. "Why would I? You already pray to Apollo for me.""He is not your Familia, Persephone."She did a thing with her hand and smiled sweetly at him "Please, do not be so formal. Call me Percy."Charilaus made a disgusted face at the name and she nearly laughed but Hades passed a look that made her just keep smiling.When he was seated, and everyone began to eat, except Cleon of course who was standing behind Charilaus, Persephone began her usual
"Hunting? Really? You did not have a better lie?""It got us out of her grasp, did it not?""And under the sun! I already have the most beautiful skin one can behold, I see no reason for you to make it darker."Leonidas ignored the rich voice of his best friend as he steadied his horse, moving further away from the castle, and possibly, her.When he was at the edge of a cliff, looking down a valley that had shade and a sort of lake around it, he said, "There. We can go there and rest till she tires and goes away.""How long do you think it would take before she tires?" Loukas asked with a glare in his eyes. "I doubt you fathom the whole idea of that woman. She plans to bond and chain you. You shall not escape the same valley between her legs -.""Thank you, brother." Leonidas cut in as quickly as he could as he stared down, the shades from the tree willowing and dancing as the tree moved with the breeze.It called him.He just knew he had to rest there."Leo." Loukas whined, his green
Loukas Mikos was not special.Loukas Mikos was not the first child of Panag Mikos and Danae Mikos.Loukas Mikos was the bastard child of a Mistress of Panag, which therefore keeps him free from responsibilities and hardwork.Loukas Mikos did not have a particularly attractive talent. Drawing is seen to be mediocre and nothing much to awe at.Loukas Mikos had never gone hunting and never will.Loukas Mikos was not particularly smart but he was good with making parties and making sure there were perfect.Loukas Mikos was extremely handsome and breathtaking and both men and women hoped to have one night with him.Loukas Mikos had sold his body to this same people, for one night, hearing the secrets of the universe, the little hate people spurn for their significant others, that love was trivial and that women were pure evil.Loukas Mikos studied women and was proud to say that he knew them like they were his behind that had been grappled many a time by various people.Loukas Mikos could
It had been eighteen years since the war had come to an end.Since rumours and rumours about what had caused it appeared.They said that the citizens of Renatus had disobeyed the gods and had been punished adequately for their sins.That the god Zeus had been killed but had resurrected eventually.That Olympus had gone into chaos because demons from the Underworld escaped and possessed some people, mainly the Ares Familias (which they said was highly easy considering the fact they barely had a brain to think for themselves and that their souls were easy to corrupt)But the strongest rumour had been about a Pharmakis.Though most did not know her name, the few that did barely spoke it. They said that the god who ruled the dead lost his wife and used his dark magic to raise her, the darkness corrupting her and when the Council of Renatus punished her for her crimes, she cursed the land and started the war singlehandedly, or perhaps with her husband's help.However, her name was only use
The day that Persephone Aetos gave birth, the whole world stayed silent.Leonidas was made to sit outside on the porch, the darkness making it impossible to make sense of anything because it seemed that the moon had fixed itself at their living room window, shining it's light only on her. And particularly because of the fact there was no one sound from anywhere else, Leonidas could hear her screams louder than he had thought he would have to.It pulled at his heart and squeezed, making every breath he took hurt as Circe and Kleopatra sat next to him, their presence seeming like they aimed to calm him down, which he was grateful for, but then after a while of shrieks and scream, he heard nothing.The birds chirped again, the wind blowing soundly as if they were glad it was all over, before he heard the sound of someone wailing loudly.Leonidas stood to his feet and turned as the Cabin's door opened, revealing a Cleon with gloves and a sort of net over his head, his eyes glassy while h
"It is usually customary for families to have their portraits being drawn after the wife delivers," Loukas said softly. "Or that is what I heard and since we- We might not, I thought that I should- Just have it done now," Then he chuckled. "Fani and I found it- Exceedingly hard to hand this one over because no matter how hard I tried to replicate it, I could not. Is it- Is it alright?"Persephone felt the emotions choke her the more she looked at the painting, her eyes begging to tear up again though she fought the urge, turning to a silent Leonidas.He was looking at the painting as well, all the humor gone from his face."Leonidas," Persephone hoped that this had not ruined his mood.And when she saw him smile, she knew it did not. "You can have it."Loukas stared wide eyed. "I-I can?""Honest?" Fani asked.Leonidas nodded, "I already have enough things to remember her by. You both do not, so you can have it."Fani already had her eyes glistening while Loukas tried to look unbothere
She woke up with the rain.Leonidas had his hand around her body, his face buried into her neck while she stared outside the window of the Cabin, her breath steadying.She was cold and though he was keeping her warm, she wanted to walk around because her back hurt.So Persephone slowly peeled his hand off her body, the male making a small displeasing sound though he did not wake up and she stood up from the bed, staring at him.His hair as always danced all over his face and it made her smile, bending to brush the ones on it and kissing her forehead.Minutes later she had on a robe, a cup of tea in her hand as she stared at the raindrops on the glass, her other hand on her stomach.The day was getting close.Persephone before had found it hard to wake up everyday when she knew with each day, she got closer to giving birth but lately Leonidas barely even gave her room to have her own thoughts.He stuck to her so tightly that she even sometimes wished he would let her be for a while.So
Though she did not want to let him touch her, her feet did hurt and she sat, Achilles sitting on the grass as he held her blistering feet, his rough hands pressing them before she said, "Why are you here?"It was an odd thing to see such a huge man in such a manner as he was, but Achilles was everything odd. "The triplets and Mother sent me. Basically they wanted me to see if you were alright here, and they had things they wanted me to give you.""Not a snakes egg I presume?"Achilles smiled, "No. Not that.""Then what?" She asked then when he did not answer, said, "It is a snakes egg, is it not? By the gods Achilles, I will not let a boa constrictor live around my son.""No," Achilles was chuckling. "Mother personally picked this one. It is harmless and smaller. I already handed it over to Artemis when I came. She would train it when it hatches till you give birth."Persephone was staring at him questionably but said, "Alright. How are the men?""They ask of you endlessly," He replie
Persephone woke with her eyes falling on the figure seated in a chair infront of her. "What are you doing?" Leonidas paused, looking up from the book he was reading, a small smile coming to his lips. "Good morning," She smiled too. "Morning." He raised the book in his hand. "Reading. I found it a bit hard to sleep so I decided to see what you like about them." She chuckled, "And?" "It cures boredom until your favourite person wakes up and you want to throw the book to the wall cause you do not really like it," Leonidas said, setting the book down on the table as he walked to the edge of the bed and sat on it, brushing away a strand of hair from her face. "How are my two favorite people doing?" Persephone knew that he had no idea how those words made her feel but she smiled, bathing in his love. "We are kicking. That is what he is doing and that is why I woke up. With a kick." Leonidas chuckled. "Want me to punish him?" Her eyes glazed over. "Are you really about to do that, Leo
Now that he was aware who he was, his body suddenly tingled, goosebumps appearing as he stood, ready to bow before he heard him say, "I am not really into the bowing thing, that is for the other children at Olympus.""Oh," Leonidas said, "Y-You wanted to see Persephone?"His eyes glazed "I cannot enter the Temple, you are only there by pure grace. Plus, leaving home was near impossible now that Persephone is home. I am here to see you.""Me?""A little birdie tells me you are making my goddaughter miserable," Hades said, taking a step forward "Now, I did not come to threaten you but it is very hard to not watch your extremely beautiful face curl into fear."Leonidas' fear itself was rising and jumping over mountains. "I-"Hades raised a hand. "No explanations. It makes me want you dead more," Then he walked to the edge. "You know the first time I saw you? It was your fourteenth birthday I believe, your friends and Koinõnos were skinny dipping in the spring around your Castle, but you
It had only been weeks but to Leonidas, he felt like it had been years. Staying in the temple while he watched everyone live like nothing was happening. Like Persephone could not just- He had met Fani, her new Koinõnos who for some reason, he could not stand, perhaps because of the way it seemed like she had a bounce in everything she did. Plus, she was attached to the one goddess he knew he would never like. Athena. Athena, unlike her sister Artemis, did not even try to sugarcoat her hate, and it was not because of what he did to Persephone, no, it was just because she felt he was weak and she could not stand it. However, Athena adored Fani, the two being strong opposites as Fani was soft and sweet while Athena was everything that Leonidas did not like her. Proud. Haughty. Athena. Loukas had apologized on the other hand on how Artemis had behaved on the beach. Asides from the fact he had explained that the Temple doors led one anywhere they wanted, as long as they thought i
Leonidas stood, his head pounding again as his legs shook but he managed to get his body moving while he followed Loukas who was at the door, walking out of it and finding himself outside.And not just outside.On a beach.Leonidas wondered how that had happened since they just walked out of his room but shut it off as something less important.The sand felt cold under his feet, but the sun shone heavily, perhaps not affected by the winter storm below before he saw Loukas standing at the edge of the water and joined him, his eyes meeting the figure at the sea."They always dress like that," Loukas said, his eyes still on the woman. "Men are not allowed in the temple because they always try taking advantage of them but I am allowed because I do not care for women and you- Well, you will survive."She had blond hair and a lithe curvaceous body, the dress she had on wet and sticking to her body, showing everything that it was not supposed to as she kept flickering her hand over a body.Y
