Athena POV
I was born in my father's stomach. tis, my mother, raised inside Zeus, she was the titan of wisdom, prudence and deep thought. She taught everything she knew from her wisdom to the history of the world. She taught so many things, I knew I had to escape from the stomach sohow. tis told that Hades was able to escape from Kronos while in his stomach, but I knew I would not be able to do that. Instead, I worked up a plan, I would rest in Zeus's head and cause a commotion like no other. Zeus would be forced to see what was wrong and then we could escape. My mother agreed to the plan but made one change to it. She would rest in my stomach till and escape with and when we find an opportunity I would release her. She would still be able to communicate with though as we both actively sought a connection. I did not really like this idea, but it was the only one which allows us to escape Zeus's wrath.
When I escaped Zeus's head I had to co up with an excuse why I was even there. I explained to Zeus I was his daughter born from his thoughts. He actually bought the excuse. I could not believe it, he did not even question it. Zeus introduced to the other gods and made an Olympian all in the sa day. He explained how I was born and everyone actually believed the excuse. I t all the gods beside Hades, apparently, had a major fight with Zeus over his indiscretion with how Hera and Zeus beca engaged. Zeus had consequently kicked Hades from the Olympian council.
From what I see from Olympus now it was probably a mistake. I talked to the other goddesses and they explained as soon as Hades was kicked off of the council and barred from Olympus, Zeus decided it was open season to prey on everything that moved and all the other gods followed. Though everyone feared Hades, he at least kept them safe and that is for the most important quality of a king. I actually could see many gods vying for and it had been getting worriso. My mother told to seek out the only being on Olympus that could actually protect , Hestia. While Hestia lives on Olympus, her connection to Hades kept her safe. Everyone fears the Olympians as they constantly abuse their powers. Hestia's connection to Hades was both a blessing and a curse for her. She could not form friendships with others, but no gods would dare try anything with her. I was the only one to actually seek her asylum.
A decade goes by and news ca that Hades was actually coming to Olympus, it is a surprise for all of us on Olympus. As soon as that ssage was heard, it was like everyone got their act together. It was like a den of debauchery beca a religious place of worship and everyone beca celibate. His na alone is greatly feared and respected, I was looking forward to eting him. He ca in the during the eting ti in oddly dressed clothes. They looked pretty functional and comfortable from my opinion. He looked at his stone chair and imdiately changed it to sothing comfortable. It was pretty disrespectful of him to do this and Zeus called him out on it. Hades just waved him off barely paying attention to him. It really looks like he does not want to be here. During the eting, he talked about his new buildings and all. My mother told she had never been to the Underworld and heard it was a dark and gloomy place. I have heard mixed things about his realm which was now called the END. He said he built a library, I really want to see it.
He essentially sleeps through most etings, but no one calls him out on it. Zeus wants Hers to send ssages to him, but Hades ignores him and continues to nap. Hestia told that Hades is a laid back god and only really gets angry when you actually deserve it. He is usually calm, but if sothing were to make him mad no one could stop him. I asked Hestia to get in contact with Hades and allow passage into the END. He gave it readily and I visited a portal humans use to transport goods. Hades t on the other side and gave a tour of his buildings. Our final stop was the library, it was not the tallest but it was the biggest building I have ever seen. He explained to its functions, imagine reading any book in the world, even my mother was excited. A couple of years go by, I want to ask him for my mother's asylum in his realm. If he would give it, only then I know she will be safe.
Persphone POV
My mother Deter raised by herself with so dryads she had trusted. I am not allowed to do a lot of things. My mother has always been frantic on the topic of gods. I am not allowed to go near them. She never explains why I am just to follow her instructions. The dryads though support my mother completly. I made a friend with Artemis, she told that all n are disgusting pigs and it is better not to know them. My mother though did not agree with that statent, but with the ssage to stay from n and allowed our friendship. Artemis showed how to hunt and fish as well as introduced to her hunters. It was fun being around them and my only joy these days. My mother showed how to use my powers to make trees, plants, and crops. Basically any vegetation I can make, bees are attracted to and produce bountiful amounts of honey. I really love nature and everything about it.
My mother had been less frantic lately. Apparently her brother, Hades, had co from the END and visited Olympus for once for the first ti in a quarter-century. She had never liked Olympus and refused to allow to et any god from there. I was though allowed to et so titans though. It was all confusing to . My mother feared contact with any male god that was from Olympus or the Posiedon's realm. It was like there was sothing going on in that place. I asked my mother about Olympus, I heard it was a beautiful place, but she refuses to let see it.
She explained to that Olympus is not how it used to be and under the beauty their lies many things wrong with the place. After the god, Hades had been banished Zeus had gone out of control and all the gods followed in his example. I found out I was a product of **** from my mother and my father was Zeus. It explained so much, why my mother doesn't want near any god, why she doesn't want to travel. She fears for that I would be tricked and suffer for it. I can tell she had been scarred by Zeus and I don't think I could forgive him.
She had been more restless lately this year, my mother told that I am to be introduced to Olympus by Zeus as his daughter. I was actually scared, the gods do not know my existence thanks to my mother. My mother explained that I would be introduced during the winter solstice, the only ti it is truly safe around Olympus for us goddesses. Hades will be there and my mother told to ask for his protection if I get the opportunity. If I do get it no god would dare try anything with without my permission. My mother gave this one task, I better complete it.
A/N
Ended a little early today so here is an interlude. More background on what is going on.
No one likes Zeus as he has gotten out of hand.
I decided not to have Athena be born from thoughts she will still have the ability to think up children.
Next chapter I decide who Hades will be with, either Athena or Persephone.
Athena had a longer section in this interlude because I found more information about her than Persphone and can infer more about her background.
Deter is a victim and her actions are more ecentric because of it. She does not want her daughter to experience the sa thing she had.
