Maeron spent the whole day fooling around with Aphrodite and Hera in the clear water of the lake, on the fresh grass in the forest.
For gods like them, it was nothing.
Now the sun was reappearing but as always he wasn't worried, as the space around the place had long been altered by him otherwise he would have been spotted by Apollo, or Artemis, or again by Demeter.
It was something that he had learned to hide himself from the eyes of the gods, from one in particular and it never failed him.
While looking at the goddesses by his side and the scenery around him with the sun rising, Maeron thought
'Apollo really is the most troublesome one, if I hadn't put that barrier the first time that I spent the night in the palace of Hera in Olympus he would've noticed me, now however this is as sure as my own sanctuaries on the earth,'
While he was thinking that the water bed around him started to move, he looked beside him to see Aphrodite start to rise
"Hello there," he said sweetly
He looked into her eyes and slowly he saw them go from cloudy to serious and understanding all that in a fraction of a second
"So that wasn't a dream!" she said in realization
Straightening herself until she was seated on the bed, and her eyes turned toward the sleeping goddess on the other side of the bed
"That part, I hoped that it was a dream," she said
Maeron could see and feel the fear in her eyes
the fear that she has for Hera her queen, but more than that the fear that she has for her king Zeus, that fear that had been muffled by the lust of the past day had now dissipated leaving her with a clear mind
"Who are you really?! What do you want?! And..." casting a troubled gaze toward Hera
"Do you realize who she is and what will befall you, us if Zeus realized that you are sleeping with his wife!!" she asked Maeron could see that even though she was trying to appear calm she was in turmoil
Looking at her Maeron was all smile
'she is indeed how I thought smart, and quite calculative, I guess this is what to expect from her,'
"Well you know who I am, I introduced myself already my name is Maeron god of water, and a few other things! And I know what will befall me when it will be revealed," he said looking at her and he could see the gear turn in her mind,
"Do you want to reveal it!" he asked and before she could respond Hera's voice resounded in our ears
"Why do you bother being so friendly with her?" said Hera getting up using some clothes to hide her body, contrasting with Aphrodite who didn't bother hiding her body.
"Listen to me Aphrodite!!" she said looking at the goddess
"You are on our side now so don't try anything funny or I will personally take care of you!!" Hera said firmly while getting out of bed showing her magnificent body on display,
Seeing Hera bend down to take her clothes Maeron was tempted to start another round but restrained himself
'Acerting her dominance already...' he thought before wondering '...I wonder if it will have any effect after the embarrassing thing we did together last night?!'
He looked at Aphrodite who was silent once more and was in deep thought before sighing deeply
"So, what did you plan for me?" she questioned looking at Maeron, she seemed to have already noted that he was the one in charge
'It must be because of how I handled Hera the previous night, for an expert in sex like her must have noticed that I was the dominant party
"I see that you have made up your mind," Maeron responded satisfied by Aphrodite's compliance
"Like I have a choice,"
at that responded Hera who was done wearing her clothes turned toward her and said
"If he didn't ask me, I would've already had you send in Tartarus for a few years the moment I learned about the fact that you knew about what was happening," Hera looked at her fellow goddess with some anger
"Ohh, so you know about Zeus!" she asked in surprise but then she turned to Maeron
"Of course you know, I guess he is your way to get some payback or is he just the replacement..." She barely ended her sentence when a hot feeling spread inside her body and
"Arghh," an incredible pain overwhelmed Aphrodite for a second before disappearing leaving her troubled, like it was only an illusion she then heard the voice of Maeron
"Careful, even I can get angry," he said with a calm voice but it was enough to frighten Aphrodite
"S-sorry it won't happen again!!" she apologized sincerely not wanting to be subject to that atrocious pain once more, even though it lasted a second she felt like she had her whole essence ripped out of her and it lasted for a long time
"I believe you," Maeron responded smiling, and that time that smile appeared to Aphrodite more scary than beautiful
He then gets out of bed and snaps his finger making new clothes appear on him and Aphrodite while the water bed returns to its liquid state and flows back into the lake.
"You are going to follow Hera's order from now on, she is going to tell you what we want from you," she said before turning toward Hera and giving her a kiss like a couple married
When he did she sent him a mental message 'I thought that you wanted her to be yours too,'
'I do... so don't be too rough with her,'
'By the way, I gave you a new power that I took from Aphrodite, it should help expand your powers without making you lose those that you already have,' he said before turning around and disappearing in one of his portals leaving the two goddesses together
Once he was gone Hera looked at Aphrodite with a smile that made her shudder
"Look like it's only you and me, huh!"
*****
In the young kingdom of Kartar
so small and weak in comparison to his neighbor that some even refuse to accept it as a kingdom
A place far away from the kingdom of Argos a portal appears and from there Maeron gets out
The place was dirty and dark and the people there were poor, weak, malnourished and so many more, in that place someone like him even though he had his face hidden couldn't hide his presence, he was clearly out of place.
He was beautiful, and clean, with an otherworldly aura surrounding him
He walked around slowly, looking around a little, it was not the first time that he had come here, because here was the place where another of his subordinates was
He arrived at the door of a seemingly dilapidated and abandoned house, if anyone else came and opened the door they would find themself in a place so dirty and uncomfortable that they would be forced to turn around and leave, but when Maeron touched the handle and opened it he found himself in a magnificent place.
A floor perfectly tiled and so spotless that you could see your own reflection in it, the pillar was big and strong holding and the ceiling magnificently decorated
He barely made a few steps inside when he heard footsteps running toward him and in a few seconds hundreds of peoples
"Sir I hope you had a safe travel," said a warrior in his thirties with a big dark beard
"Everything went well like always Orus, how have you been?!"
"Well my lord," he responded with delight happy that Maeron even cared about in well-being All the people here were people who had been chosen and saved by Maeron personally he is their only god and they were ready to die for him if it was his wish.
They are all extremely well trained and are at the apex of humanity, they would be at the same level as the heroes of legend of the world before their ascension to godhood
After they lead him to his throne he addresses his subordinate and follower
"Did you find them?!" Asked Maeron to Orus who was kneeling on the ground
"Yes my lord as per your instruction we were able to identify hundreds of demi-gods or descendants of the god of Olympus on earth, but even with all of our resources many of them can't be found," Orus responded truthfully
"Do not worry about that, it is impossible even for me to identify all of them, some are bound to escape our grasp, what matters is that we have the majority of them," He said after reviewing the list of the demigods
"I am very satisfied with your work,"
"It's a pleasure for me to serve you,"
after Orus left Maerong leaned on his chair with a satisfied expression on his face while his eyes were as cold as ice
'It was indeed the right choice to stay hidden there, alone observing your life and your actions were worth it father, all those years of Imprisonment, all that time spent trapped in that wretched place while you drained my powers were all worth it, I know you and everyone in Olympus better than they know themselves,'
"Soon I will have everything,"
