Chapter 2 - The new Head: Hestia Paige

"Hestia? Isn't she supposedly one of 12 Olympians in Mt. Olympus but renounced her seat? Then gave it to Dionysus?" One of the gods muttered.

Hearing the remark, every spectating gods and goddesses glanced at Dionysus, in which the latter has his face turned red in embarrassment.

"Shut up Baldur you blabbermouth!" Yelled Dionysus.

The god, Baldur, just smiled wryly upon Dionysus' childish denial.

"Oh is that what it is? Then you're very much welcome council head." Hestia played along as she giggled playfully.

Dionysus was further embarrassed again.

"Oh why is our council head so red right now? Are you perhaps, ashamed?" A lovely voice rang out. As if it contains magical charm that will captivate the hearts of all men. Her voice sounds as if she were a natural seductress.

The spectating gods and goddesses looked at the source of the charming voice. Although they always see Aphrodite, they can never be tired being in awe of her beauty, elegance and dignified bearing.

"Aphrodite! I thought you were seducing men down below? When did you came back?" Dionysus was startled. The female immortal or goddess, who took the alias of Aphrodite, was one of the gods he was wary with. Well not wary but uncomfortable with, her natural bearing of elegance and beauty that exudes a magnetic charm that can even affect some of the gods, and that includes Dionysus. Why? because he was also once in a relationship with Aphrodite, before the even of taking aliases of course.

"Who told you I am ashamed? I am just *hiccup* drunk *hiccup* right now. Do you know *hiccup* what I am a *hiccup* God of?" Dionysus perfectly fine face suddenly became red and out of nowhere a bottle of beer appeared in his hands.

"I am *hiccup* the god of wine *hiccup*." Dionysus said in a 'drunken state'.

Aphrodite scoffed beautifully.

"I heard some new immortal came so I took a look but yeah whatever. This is why I broke up with you, you drunkard." Aphrodite playfully said and disappears leaving some rosy petals in her place.

"What? What did she say? I am too drunk to hear her, don't mind her chattering mouth. Anyway, Hestia right? You sure that will be your alias from now on? It cannot be change anymore in the future." Dionysus asked in confirmation.

"Yep, I am sure of that." Hestia replied.

"Oooh Ooooh, if that is so then I am your mother, Hestia." A elegant goddess came forward.

"Urgh, seriously Rhea? I can't believe I eloped with you in the story. I just took up the name Kronos because I master the Law of Universal Time, and also it's a cool name but I never know about who Kronos hooked up with, seems like this Kronos guy is a playboy, urgh." Another god stepped up.

It was a handsome male, one that exudes the authority of a true Titan, the primordial ruler of the universe. In his hand is a grim looking void black scythe that was pulsing with immortal aura. It was Kronos, the Immortal that completely grasped the Law of Universtal Time.

Kronos attire right now are full combat style, as if he was about to go to a war.

"Well atleast I wasn't the one that got murdered by his own children in the story." Rhea rebutted back.

"Don't mind him Hesita, he is just like that even before the alias giving event." Rhea said.

Hestia waved her hand indication she didn't mind. She was also feeling amused by the skit of the gods here.

"Where are you going Kronos? Stirring up some trouble again?" Dionysus asked Kronos, glaring at him.

"Don't worry Head Council, Ares wanted to battle me because I ate his pudding. He says it's revenge or something like that. As of now, he's waiting in the dueling arena together with Athena." Kronos chuckled at Ares unbelievable request for duel.

Kronos was also indignant. 'I mean I was just a bit hungry. Who told Ares to leave his pudding inside the coucil kitchen table? Doesn't it mean inviting me to eat the pudding? Urgh, what a headache.' Kronos thought as he walked back and disappeared.

"Those gods, they aren't paying any respects at all for the new immortal Hestia." Rhea shooked her head.

"*Cough Cough* Everyone pay attention here, I have an announcement to make." Dionysus steer back the amused atmosphere back to him. Every gods and goddesses looked at him in anticipation.

Dionysus first glance at Hestia and a mysterious glint flashed through his eyes.

Hestia shivered as if being glanced by an old pervert.

"From now on, Ill abdicate the position of the Head Council and bestow it upon Hestia." Dionysus said with undeniable might, as if his words are the law and no one shall ever deny it.

Upon giving the decree, the Whole Council of Gods tremble as thunders and lightning resounding throughout. As if the Universe are moving on it's own, responding to Dionysus' order.

A sound of clanking noise can be heard, it was the Universal Law of Order being summoned appearing above the head of Dionysus in the form of an intricate looking golden lock that was spouting with varieties of Universal Law.

Every gods and goddesses was a bit solemn in this sight, this was the Universal Natural Flow, one that they cannot interrupt or disrupt in any situation, even if they were an immortal, a being that is supreme over all. Nevertheless, they were startled by Dionysus sudden action and decree, but they cannot do about it.

Above Hestia's head, Myriad kinds of Universal Law came down from above, interweaving with each other creating a tremendous clanking sounds throughout the whole council.

Even Kronos that was fighting with Ares, together with Athena in the arena, stopped the duel when they heard the clanking sound of Universal Laws being woven together.

Aphrodite, somewhere in Paris, in her humongous Mansion, was stading in gracefully in the balcony in her bathrobes, defining her perfect body curvatures, he perfect well rounded bossom and plump valleys. Standing in the balcony, she looked in the sky, towards the direction of the council and watching with a solemn countenance.

Eileithyia, who just finished delivering childbirth, disappearing in the room and reappearing in the rooftop, looking in the sky with solem expression.

Freya and Frey, the siblings together with Apollo and Artemis, the twins was currently in a private cruise ship sailing in the atlantic ocean. The previous joyful and amicable ambience was temporarily replaced by a solemn and serious atmoshpere as the four of them looked towards the direction of the Council with a confused yet solemn expression.

Hades and Anubis, together in the warring battlefield in a desolate region near of Syria, momentarily stopped themselves standing in the middle of crossfire, resulting in getting barraged by hail of bullets then appearing unharmed as both of them looked up in the sky, unintentionally releasing thier horrifying dark auras as they seem to witness the ceremony in the council. Both parties seeing the complete fine state of both figure was startled and was scared at the same time upon feeling the unintentioned released aura of the both.

Poseidon and Amphitrite, was currently in hawaii willing the waters to create big waves for the surfers and also protecting them. Upon feeling the Universal Law happening in the council, Poseidon stopped controlling the seas for creating waves resulting in many surfers suddenly falling in the water. Amphitrite suddenly worked herself on saving the endangered surfer but still most of her attention was in the council.

Every gods and godesses around the earth, literally everyone looked at the direction of the council with solemn faces. All of them, gods and godessess, in earth and in the council, awaits the emergence of the New Head of the Council.
