"Hyperion? He's back?" ahhh, not good. Quite not good. We were doing so well with the whole allies thing.
"And what on earth do you mean where have I been? I walked out not five minutes ago, and sent Nike to see if Zeus needed me. Next thing I know 'Oh, Hyperion happened'."
I wanted to punch this guy in the face. I rolled my eyes. "Don't bother." I said Resting against the wall. "He's pretty mad right now and Wants to be left alone I am guessing." I walked out and went to my chambers.

I watched Aphrodite walk out. Make a chick the goddess of beauty and she thinks everyone's in love with her. I rolled my eyes. I really needed to hang out with some mortal women soon.
I knelt down. "My lord, as your son, I need to ask; what happened?"
Zeus "The Amphora." He croaked, pointing towards the table. Apollo fetched it and passed it to his father. Zeus tore the stopper out and threw back his head. The King of the Gods roared in pain as he downed the entire amphora of ambrosia. It may have burned his throat but the wound in his chest began to seal within a minute. Once he finished it he sent the amphora crashing against the wall. "Everyone get in here now!" He commanded, his voice touching the mind of every god and goddess in Olympus. Almost instantly Aphrodite was through the door, followed by the four winged siblings. As the rest piled in Zeus began to pace. "I gave them time to think rethink this folly." He spat. "I was going to offer Hyperion a chance to walk away but he chose his path and now he will rue the consequences." The last of the gods filled the room. "They are going to learn why I am the King of the Gods."

I nodded. "Is there anything I can do to help? Maybe bring him here? Although he may refuse..." I trailed off. I leaned against the wall and crossed my arms thinking.

~Eris~ "Take me to Hades?" Andrew took my hand and led me down the dark tunnel. I felt electricity when we touched hands. By the Gods I would turn mortal for him. As I said the tunnels were dark and so I had to lean close to him so I would not trip. Heat radiated off of him. I then noticed how long I had gone without feeling heat. Or love. Maybe causing discord was not worth this. Maybe he really liked me. He had kissed me on the cheek! But then, he asked me to take him to Hades. Why would he do that? A though unbidden rose to my mind from the murky depths of love. I pushed it away knowing that my darling Andrew would never do anything to hurt me. "Andrew?" I whispered. "Yes?" He whispered back as he turned his golden hair and deep soul searching blue eyes to me. "Thank you." I didn't know what else to say. So I stood on my tip toes and kissed him lightly on the lips. "For this." We continued our way along the musty passage.
"You may not be educated well in the areas of etiquette and the like as a princess, but you do throw some bashing good parties!" Not all princesses are pink sparkles. Exhibit A
Hyperion~ Pro di Immortales! What was zeus thinking? I was about to kill his enemy but he had to go barging in! I need to talk to him via Iris "Zeus, I understand your blatant rage, however I request an arrangement between us. I need Hades as a constant source of power because that is like your nectar or ambrosia to me." I sighed. "We need a mutual agreement."
Lelantos~ "Why did you summon me brother?" I was curious. "It is not often that a fellow titan hires me." I needed weapons, fast.
Dionysus~ I awoke in a chamber, shackled to the solid mat black walls. Next to me was Dante. His eyes were still closed. That's when I realized it. Pan! He must have put a spell over us. How long have I been asleep? Days? Weeks? And if it was Pan, then why?
They say the world is your oyster; but what if you keep kosher?
I looked at Zeus. "Do you want me to go talk to Hyperion?" I asked about to walk out the door, "I can tell he wants to join us." I smiled. I walked out and made my way to the underworld. I knocked on the door and Hyperion answered, "Aphrodite..." He smiled. "Hey Hyperion. I think we need to work something out."

Eris' lips caressed his for the slightest of moment. A spark escaped, in his brain, a fireworks display was going off.
Oh my gods, this feeling. Is it? No. It can't be. Love?
Andrew stopped in his tracks, he looked into her eyes. Such a beautiful luminescent purple. He moved a single strand of hair from her face, and he kissed her again.
Yep, I could recognize that feeling anywhere son ~ Apollo echoed
Ah, Andrew was actually falling in love with the girl. I couldn't decide if that was a good or bad thing yet. There was a slightly more important detail to worry about at the moment, namely the angry king of the gods.
"What would you have us do, my lord?" I bowed. This was a good time for respectfulness. "Would you have us assemble?"
Zeus "Everyone is here?" Zeus asked Apollo, receiving a nod as a response."Tell Hephaestus I want them all outfitted and armed. "We need a mutual agreement." The voice of Hyperion whispered in Zeus mind, nearly startling him. "Agreement?" He demanded angrily. "You stab me and then ask for an agreement?" Only silence answered. "How about this then? You give me the traitor gods, all of them and I let you stay out of Tartarus? If that doesn't sound that enticing I know Prometheus could always do with some company."

"An agreement? My lord, he stabbed you. No agreement should be made. Expecially disrespecting the side you want to join." I said serious. "This isn't even a thinking question. He should be punished. Whoever hurts the king of the gods is horrible to us. He is not an ally. Anyway Aphrodite went to go talk to him. Maybe he will change his mind."

Zeus The god of the sky turned to face Athena, his anger rising. "I am King and I will make a deal with whomever I choose." Zeus walked up the steps to his throne and sat down with a thump. "He shall accept my terms or he will fall along with Hades and the other traitors."
