*In Mount Olympus*
The eternal sun was still high in the sky when Hades had just stepped into the palace. He was waited on by his niece Athena when he arrived. She was as stoic as her father as she greeted him with a polite bow.
"Greetings uncle." She said in her stern voice as they both walked together down the hallway.
"How have you been niece?"
"Quite well however the palace is not without its own troubles."
"Especially after a big celebration."
"Yes well, Apollo is who he will always be no matter how much we all wish he could change." As she spoke Hades tuned her out feeling a little too anxious to be engaging in royal gossip. Athena has always had a big mouth on her and he wished he was greeted by someone else but he also knew that if Zeus had any concerns Athena was among the few people in his small circle that he would trust to know.
