Chereads / Zeus — Mythology Series #1 / Chapter 13 - Chapter Eleven

Chapter 13 - Chapter Eleven

Hestia just woke up when Demeter entered her room. The goddess was surprised that her sister woke up early.

"What do you want?"

"I want to plan what we will do to kill Hera's son."

Hestia stood up and straightened herself first. She then dragged Demeter to a secret room that she herself had made. Demeter was astonished as she entered the room. She did not think that there was such a thing in his sister's room.

"When did you built this secret room of yours?"

"At times I wanted to be alone. I didn't open it for a few years because I couldn't use it but it looks like we will talk here from now on."

Demeter nodded and followed Hestia. They both sat on the sofa in the middle of the room.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"On how to kill Hera's son."

"He's not even born yet."

"At least we're ready."

Hestia got up and went out. Moments later she returned holding a dagger. Demeter, on the other hand, became alert and released her own dagger.

"What are you doing?"

"Why are you holding a dagger?"

"Oh you think I'll kill you? I would've killed you  back then if I wanted to kill you. Hide your dagger and return to your seat."

Demeter hid her dagger and returned to her seat. Hestia sat down in front of her and showed the dagger she was holding.

"Where did you get that?"

"This was given by a sorcerer. Same with the sorcerer Zeus asked for a potion for Hera."

"Do you really think Zeus charmed Hera?"

Hestia looked at her and shook her head.

"Duh, isn't it obvious?"

Demeter took the dagger and checked.

"What is this for?"

"That is what we will use to kill Hera's son."

Zeus left his kingdom early and went to the sorcerer for whom he asked for a potion. He caught the sorcerer cleaning. He approached it and touched her shoulder. The sorcerer backed away in shock and was suddenly nervous.

"What are you doing here?"

"Did you say something to Hestia that I did not know? Answer me."

The sorcerer pretended not to know. He did not want Zeus to know what she said to Hestia.

"Nothing."

"I know you said something."

"Then why do you have to ask me if you know that I said something?"

Zeus got angry and let out his lightning.

"You're trying to kill me?"

Zeus wants to torture the sorcerer so that she can tell him what she said to Hestia but he can't do that. Not for now.

"Fine. I just wanted to know what you said."

"How many times do I have to tell you that I said nothing. Do you want the whole kingdom to know what you did?"

"Enough!"

"Then leave."

Zeus glared at the sorcerer and left. He could not believe that the sorcerer seemed to have a higher position to treat him like that.

"I must not give up. I need to know everything. Everything."

It was as if a thorn had taken from the sorcerer's chest when Zeus left. As long as she can, she will not tell the truth to Zeus. She wants Hestia to win. Zeus must be held accountable for everything he does.

"You can't win Zeus. Someday, Hera will also know what you did to her. Not now but soon."
