Mount Olympus (Started)

Andrew ~


Andrew stood there and watched as Poseidon walked in,

"I understand that someone has something that they want to tell me?" Andrew said to him and Aphrodite who had previously been standing in the room with him.

Zeus
The King of the gods watched with a frown on his face as he leaned back on his throne. He was sure Hades did not have to deal with people constantly walking into his council chambers unannounced and Zeus envied his younger brother for it. If not for the council and their witterings Zeus would have struck out against Hades already and crushed the insolent fool beneath the might of Olympus. But instead he had to deal with his children and even half-bloods suggesting that he err on the side of caution.
A growl rose in Zeus' throat and his fist curled, lightening appearing as it always did.
"Enough!" He roared at the gods, who talked among themselves. They now stared at him with eyes of confusion. "Hades has had his fun." Zeus muttered, climbing to his feet and marching towards his solar.
"I want the traitors, half-blood and god both, in chains before the month is out!"

Aphrodite-

I nodded seriously and a smile formed on my face. "We'll try our best and I assure you I'll make sure everyone's ready if Hades decides to attack.And I'll work on the files for the weapons, we'll need em."

Dante~
"My Lord Hades, in no way do I intend to question your authority and decision making skills, but I have proven myself to you far more than Eris has. What reward may I expect. I am the son of Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, I sense an imbalance of favoritism towards Eris. I overheard your conversation with her and I fear that she will become arrogant. Balance is what we are fighting for. Balance is what I request. Give me a far more powerful gift and I will prove to be your favorite."
He dejectedly exits the drawing room.

Aphrodite-
I smiled at Zeus. "And I wont let you Down. I'll train forever if I need to." I got up and lit the staffs on the two sides.

~Eris~
I smiled as I watched the dark one, Raul speak. He had a sort of power beam around him. He certainly was far more powerful than he seemed.

His dark aura clung to my mind making me think once again about a new lover. I have not loved any one since.... bah! I cannot even think his name for fear of sorrow.

I turned the corner and heard that stupid half-breed Dante speaking to Hades. He talked of imbalance. And arrogance. I am not arrogant! I just got what I rightly deserve. I faded into the shadows as Dante left the drawing room. As soon as I saw he had left, I myself went in.

"Lord Hades, I'm sorry but I have mistakenly eavesdropped, mistakenly I assure you, onto your conversation with the young half-breed. I beg you to reconsider. What has that boy done to claim an object more powerful than mine? He is new and only has done what you ordered. I have done that, and more. I am not arrogant I only wanted what I deserved. Is that not fair? If you so wish, you may take back your dagger to appease the youngling. Just remember, he is new and not served you loyally, he is replaceable as a half-breed. I am a goddess and one cannot find the same of me. Thank you." I curtsied and then looked into his eyes seductively willing them with just the tinniest bit of power.

"You must be so lonely when your wife is gone..." I purred hinting at greater things with the lift of my eyebrow.
.....

Aphrodite-

I swiftly walked back to the desk and rested my elbows on the table. This isn't what I've thought this would be easier. "Should I start to train the demi-gods? U can't risk them failing..." I trailed off, and stood up, and walked out of the room to where the demi-gods were training.

Apollo

Aphrodite left the room, Zeus still sat in his chair, an angry storm. Apollo ticked off the seconds that passed in the silence against his chair, and stood up. "My lord Zeus, you will not be disappointed. How may I and my son be of service?" Apollo shot Andrew a glance, and turned to the king of the gods.

Aphrodite

I looked all around the camp ang saw no demi-gods, I walked back to the counsel hall. "Um, can someone come out here for a second?" I said scared. I looked at Apollo, asking him to come. Zeus motioned me to my spot and I sat down, scared to death. "Aphrodite, What's happened?" I hestitated. "Do you know where the Demi-gods are? They arent in their camp...or rooms." I buried my head in my hands, This isnt good.... He looked confused. I was so overhwelmed. "Maybe we should send...someone, to find them?" My mind lit up. "Hates... That traitor." I mumbled to myself. I was angry now. This hasn't done us any good. "Zeus, we really need to do something. Orelse he'll start taking our army."

Hades~

Dante's aggravation made me chuckle to myself. He was failing, failing badly. He was being tested and which each new remark power slowly slipped away. I wanted them both to feel like the best, neither under the other. They were my top warriors after all. I would consider giving him a powerful weapon like I did Eris, but the arrogance he said to spot in Eris , showed in himself. I saw myself in him at a younger age. Always challenging authority.

Now, I had a bigger problem on my hands. Eris. She made good points and was persuasive, a threat to both kingdoms. She must realize she is under my control, not the other way around. She tried to pull me in with her seductive stare.

"You must be so lonely when your wife is gone..." She had great manipulative power, but I wouldn't be fooled. She eyes hinted towards something more. She wanted power, as do I.

"Your confidence impresses me Eris." I looked at her deeply, pushing her head upwards with my right hand softly. I was not known for being easily manipulated or deceived."but, you are foolish to try to deceive me." I moved my hand away.

Aphrodite-

"I have an Idea..." I stood up. "Maybe I can join Hates, and he might leave Olympus alone. It's the only thing that will work." My eyes became larger and I pushed my hair out of my face. "Zeus I'll do anything to keep my brothers and sisters safe.And I'm the closest one to him here. But if he doesnt then... He wont let me go and I'll have to fight against you guys." I looked down in saddness.

Aphrodite-

Even though I did'nt want to leave them, it was probrably the only thing that could save this place. I slowly walked over to the files of all the Olympians that have been here and are here. I took out my file. "You see this? It says I can still change sides... I have the decision to," I said holding my paper in front of me.

Andrew~

Andrew watched as he resumed to be blatantly disregarded and ignored.

"OH MY GODS! WHY AM I HERE?" he yelled, instantly grabbing the attention of the bickering Olympians

Very overt son, good job - Apollo echoed in his mind

Aphrodite-

Andrew yelled out something, I smiled. "What?" I asked confused. "Andrew, do you know where the demi-gods are?" I raised and eyebrow sweetly. "Do you know anything about this?" I was 16 just like him so I know he knew something. He was actually pretty cute.

Andrew~

"Um, no. I teleported straight from my cabin to here when my dad called." he shot his father a glance.

"I just assumed they were playing Capture the Flag or something." he said with a confused smile.
