3rd Person POV
"All hail Lord Perseus, God of Thunder and Lightning, Lord of the Sky, and King of the Gods!"
All the gods got up from the seats bowed to Perseus and chanted the same thing that Athena had. When they finished they bowed again. Perseus Held up his hand.
"Please sit" they all obeyed. All the gods stared at him with an eyebrow raised, mainly all the goddesses.
"What?" He asked, is there something on my face, he thought.
"Y-you look…different!" Artemis stuttered. Perseus smirked then he looked confused.
"Aphrodite do you have a mirror?" she nodded excitingly. She snapped her fingers and a 17 foot tall mirror appeared in a blink of an eye. Did I mention that when Perseus sat down on his throne that he grew in size? No? Well I did now. He was the same height as his father, about 15 feet tall.
Perseus stepped in front of the mirror, what he saw shocked him. His hair grew, it was now shoulder length, but it still had the small white streak from when he held the weight of the sky. His body was defined, his muscles were not too big but not small, they were a perfect size for his body.
He pulled up the front of his shirt to look at his abs. There was an eight pack, like a stomach that Gerard Butler had on the movie 300. He had a nice tan, as if he was a hardcore surfer from California who would choose to where just swim trunks instead of a wetsuit (yes I live in San Diego and surf).
There was one more thing different about his appearance, the most shocking of them all. His eyes were a deep sapphire, and if you look close enough you can see lightning bolts flowing throughout them.
I look good!, he thought, no wonder all the goddess are staring at me like that, he finished while looking at all of the goddesses. His eyes stopped on Hera and he felt his heart flutter for a second, she met his glaze but quickly looked away.
"Thank you Aphrodite" Perseus said to the Goddess of Love before he went back to his throne.
"O you welcome!" winking at the Lord of the Sky.
Perseus walked back to his throne and sat down.
"Perseus, you will need a symbol of power." His father told him
"I can help with that!" Hephaestus yelled, "I will make you bolt so great that even Zeus would incinerate if he touched it!" Perseus smiled
"Thank you Hephaestus! I would like to talk to you, Poseidon, and Hera privately when the council meeting is over" the smith god nodded. Poseidon and Hera both looked at each other, then at Perseus, with their minds ticking. I wonder what my son wants and I can understand why he would want to see his father, but why me?
"We need to another candidate." Athena stated, all the gods looked at each other thinking of someone who would fit well. "If you haven't noticed there is still one more seat empty. We should talk about who wou-"
"I already have someone in mind" Perseus interrupted the goddess. Athena kept her mouth shut.
"Everyone has had a rather shocking day (no pun intended…well ok maybe a little), I would like to give everyone else the day off…or do whatever the Hades you want to do." All of the gods nodded eagerly and started murmuring silently amongst them. The king held up his hand for silence.
"But first Dionysus" the wine god gulped, hoping that he wasn't in trouble. Everyone knows that him and Perseus never really god along. "Why do you treat the demigods so badly?"
Dionysus released a large breath that he didn't know that he was holding, he thought he was going to be punished or something. "I-I don't like them."
Perseus' lips formed a slight grin, "Is that the real reason?" the wine god huffed and shook his head.
"If I let you drink would you be nice?" the pudgy god's eyes widened but before he could speak Perseus continued, "To everyone, not just the demigods. That includes the satyrs, nymphs, fellow gods, even mortals. He was speechless, that is what he wanted. He didn't mind the camp or the kids; he was just mad because he was the God of Wine and he wasn't allowed to have wine.
Finally getting over his shock the god spoke, "Y-yes of course…I don't mind them really."
"But I don't want you getting drunk…so no more than three glasses a day. Is. That. Understood?
Dionysus nodded.
"Good, now everyone dismissed…except for Hephaestus, Poseidon, and Hera." The rest of the gods disappeared in a bunch of golden flashes.
Hera turned to Perseus with shaken expression, "My-my Lord, if I may ask…why did you ask me to stay?" He turned to her and smiled
"You are still at the head of the thrones beside me, are you not?" She nodded, "Well I want your advice…beside it involves you as much as us, and Demeter, but she's not going to like it, and I don't want to hear her whining to me about it."
"o-ok I just wanted to know" she gave her a warm smile then turned to the two gods.
"I want to put Hades and Hestia back on the Olympian Council." They all gaped
"I think that's a great idea son" his father told him. That is why they made him the King of the Gods; they knew he would be fair to everyone, first Dionysus, then Hades and Hestia.
"Thank you father." Perseus always loved it when his father told him that he had a good idea.
"What does this have to do with me?" Hephaestus asked. Perseus chuckled
"Because they will need thrones." The smith god looked like he'd been told something he should have known, well actually he was just told something he should have known.
"O, ok I will build them thrones after I finish with your bolt. They will only take a few days."
"Excellent, there is also something else…" the other gods looked at him strangely
"I want you to make a sword worthy of the God of War." The smith god smiled.
"Of course." Hephaestus turned to leave.
"But…" Perseus started to say. The god turned back around.
"I want it to be made out of Stygian Iron." The others had confused looks on their faces.
"My Lord, if I might as, why do you want it made out of Stygian Iron?" Hera asked the god next to her. He smiled, realization dawned on Poseidon and his eyes widened,
"You know who you want to replace Ares, don't you?" a small chuckle filled the room.
"Yes I do…but I want you to promise me that the conversation that we had here is not to be talked about. You" he pointed at Hephaestus, "are not to tell anyone what you are building…no one is to find out until you are finished and we call them to take the thrones. Is that understood!" looking around at the three gods, they all nodded.
"Good, I am also going to change the thrones around a bit…Here is how I want them to be." Perseus said as he pulled out a piece of paper out of his pocket, and unfolded it.
On the paper said this:
NEW THRONE ORDER
Perseus Hera
Poseidon Demeter
Hestia Hades
Athena *New God of War*
Apollo Hermes
Artemis Hephaestus
Dionysus Aphrodite
(Perseus and Hera and the heads and the rest on the sides
"This is the new throne order?"
"Yes"
"I think is a good throne order, My Lord" Hera said, "but who is your choice for the new God of War?"
"You will find out when the time comes"
Hera nodded, she liked that he was involving her in his decisions, Zeus didn't do it much, but he did listen to her once in a while.
"You are all dismissed!" Perseus told them, they all disappeared in golden flashes: Poseidon went back to his palace, Hera went to her garden, and Hephaestus went straight to his forges to start on the items that he was requested to make.
Perseus stayed back and sat on his throne to think. What a day he has had. He has been used to had the occasionally weird experience being a demigod, but it's not very often that you find out that you have been chosen to replace the God of the Sky and King of the Gods.
While he was slumped down in his throne he thought about what was on his mind: Annabeth, Hera, his duties, Hera, his friends, Hera, and wait why am I thinking about Hera?
He didn't know why he thought about her, maybe it was her long slender legs, or her long black hair, or maybe it was her beautiful face. How stupid could Zeus be to cheat on her, or worse leave her? The only reason why she was angry at him was because she was so faithful to him and he still loved other women.
"Get these thoughts out of you head, Perseus, she is your Aunt."
"So…Gods don't care about that stuff, I mean look at Hades and Persephone for crying out loud."
"True, too true."
"She hurting right now, you should go and try and cheer her up if you know what I mean."
"Wait, why am I even thinking about her?"
"I dunno…maybe it has something to do with you becoming the Lord of the Sky, she used to be married to one, or that you became the King, she used to be the queen."
"Hump maybe, but what should I do now?"
"Go after her you, idiot."
"Ooo…ok" my mind face palms himself.
"You really are an idiot…you know that right?"
"You are my mind so you would be calling yourself an idiot."
"Actually, no, I'm not your mind. I'm the smart part of your brain, but you haven't used me in a while so of course you wouldn't know who I am!"
Hey hey, don't get snippy with me!"
"And what are you going to do about it?"
"…"
"Ha…you can't"
"WHY YOU LITTLE SHI-"
"HEY…Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"
"Yes I do…now shut up before I shock you!"
"OK OK geez! I was just trying to have some fun."
"ugh! I'm out of here!"
"Me too…o wait I've been out of here for quite some time now! *shock* OWW *Shock* OK OK I'm sorry!"
Hera was walking in her garden; she looked all of the plants she had in there, beautiful lilacs, roses, wildflowers, her garden was gorgeous. She may not be Demeter, but that does not me that she doesn't enjoy flowers.
Zeus built it for her, Hera was so happy when he did. He actually built it when she got mad at him for having an affair, when she saw it he was instantly forgiven. Usually she will put up a bigger fight that that.
She kept walking until she saw a statue of her and Zeus in each other's arms. Hera got so angry that snapped her fingers and a baseball bat appeared. She used all her strength and broke it, after falling on the ground she kept hitting it and hitting it. Tears were falling down her cheeks. When Hera finally stopped she dropped the bat got in the fetal position and balled her eyes out.
The next thing that she remembered was that a pair of strong arms picked her up and carried her bridal style.
Hera woke up a few hours later in a bed, she realized the bed; it was her bed. Looking around the room to find out how she got here, her eyes came upon a figure sleeping in a chair beside her bed.
Hera got up out of bed and went over to the figure, she recognized him, it was Perseus.
She poked him until he woke up. His sapphire eyes opened, they were beautiful, she thought, more beautiful than Zeus'.
Wha…who? Hera?
"Yes" he smiled
"You're up"
"Yes, Thank you for bringing me here." A nod and a smile was all her gave her.
"Do you feel better?" he asked her.
"A-a little" Hera looked down sadly.
Perseus put his hand on her chin and lifted her head up slowly. Looking deep in his eyes she felt herself melt. She let her barriers drop and he did something that surprised her, a kiss; a small but sweet kiss.
She didn't kiss back so he pulled back. "I-I-I'm so sorry…I didn't mean to-"his bumbling apology was interrupted by a passionate kiss.
Perseus put one hand on the side of her neck and the other hand ran down her side and rested on her hip. She tangled one hand in his hair and the other on his lower back.
The kissing of the two gods became more intense. Hera licked his lips, begging for entrance, he gladly obliged. She explored his mouth for a bit until he fought with her tongue, when he won he explored the cavern of her mouth, warm and wet.
Perseus finally pulled back from the kiss, she groaned not wanting to stop. But it was instantly filled with pleasure as he kissed her jaw
"UHHH" she moaned. His hand moved to her ass and he started slowly kissing her jaw line. When he got to her ear she nibbled on it, she moaned loudly.
With the hand on his neck he tilted her head so that he would have a good opening of her neck. When he kissed her neck she moaned more. Gods he makes me feel so good! He squeezed and rubbed her ass with his hand, it was perfect and round.
Perseus kissed on her neck for a while the hand on her neck trailed down her back, then up her side. Soon they reached her left breast; they were big, not huge but a perfect size. Another moan escaped her.
While playing with her breast, his other hand moved up to her shoulder and pulled down the strap of her dress. Hera realized that this had gone too far, she pulled back immediately,
"I-I'm sorry, My Lord, but I just…I just can't" she ran out of the room without looking back, leaving Perseus standing there disappointed.
He turned around and looked at the door in which she left out of,
"I will have you, Hera"
Did you guys like that chapter? I hope you did.
What do you think of Hera and Perseus? I always wanted to see a Hera and Perseus pairing, but with Zeus as her husband and her being so loyal to him it was hard. But with him gone this is the perfect time.
PLEASE REVIEW!
I love you all for reading!
