'I guess I'm not done training my devourer divinity yet… I want to progress to the next level but I also really want to make a certain skill. One that will let me store the devoured divinities. I don't want to get shot back down to 'low godking or … a god. This could be a great way to weaken stronger opponents but to have to train another divinity, one that may be completely useless to me as my path is already planned out in my head. I only really need Atlas' strength divinity; any other I get may be detrimental to my progress…'
"AAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I was broken out of my thoughts by distance screams. Wait… screams? I looked towards Hestia, who was now sitting up with a terrified look on her face probably remembering what once made her scream that way, Kronos' stomach acid. I spoke in my usual calm and reassuring voice.
"Hestia, stay here, I'll go and get our possible siblings."
After saying that I ran out and into the sky using air walk. Approaching near the same spot I found Hestia, I unfortunately saw a familiar scene as well. Two women, melting away like a wicked fairy tail witch that got splash with water. Although they are completely unrecognizable I still believe they are my sisters, Demeter and Hera, though since there are two here together I can't be sure. Maybe Kronos decided jailing someone else here.
Still though, I decided to save them, dropping down to the acid. After landing I pulled them both out and because they are both very light and small I was able to pick one up in each arm so they sat on it. Then I activated my domain giving them a sense of ease and comfort, healing their minds of trauma then teleported us, my domain being severely weakened in here, I could only move us to the edge of it 75 meters away. I jogged the rest of the way there using air walk.
After getting home, I put them down and see a frantic Hestia running over.
Just when I was about to speak Hestia beat me to it.
"Brother, you must hurry and heal them."
"I was just about to sister, calm down."
After speeding up their healing, I was finally able to see their faces.
Their faces were a mirror image of each other. The only difference in their face was their eye color. While one had forest green eyes the other had royal blue eyes. The face was where their similarities ended however.
The one with forest green eyes had brown, shoulder length hair. She stood with a petite frame and had a shy look. The other had golden blonde hair, tied up somehow, standing with a much more busty frame than her counterpart, giving a confident, almost arrogant look.
After briefly looking them over, I introduced myself along with Hestia.
"Hello, my name is Hades and this is my younger sister Hestia."
After some silence and then both of them looking at one another, the one with golden blonde hair took the lead.
"Greetings, my name is Hera and this is my younger twin sister Demeter. We are very grateful for you saving us… but where are we?"
I could tell she was somewhat confused seeing the brightly lit black sand and the cave in the distance
Before I could even respond, Hestia beat me to it. She started to explain how we are all still in Kronos' stomach and all this is possible because of a few of my divinities in detail, naming each divinity I used to create and maintain it. To say that they were shocked would be an understatement, not only with my divinities being in constant use but also because of the training and progress we have both made so far. I enjoyed watching their reactions, by the time Hestia was finished they were both looking at me with a lot more gratitude and maybe even some reverence.
After Hestia spoke of our time here together she asked them about their own experience. They recounted in detail nearly the exact same story of Hestia and I. Father pulled them from mothers arms after violently beating her in front of the entire court. Then proceeded to swallow and trap his infant twin daughters.
Hera spoke of how they mainly just hugged and comforted each other the best they could. Unlike me and Hestia they have neither one of them has a divinity suited for this kind of environment. They had to bare the harshness of the environment in full, I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. I could see that they were somewhat traumatized, looked exhausted and pale since they started recounting their lives to us.
After that short conversation i decided to show them into the cave so they could finally rest properly.
"Please sisters, I'm sure you're tired, I'll show you where you can lay down and rest at. As Hestia explained, the 'cave' is some of Kronos' stomach lining I cut out but don't worry, it's all safe and as comfortable as can be. There is plenty of space so you can lay anywhere you want, you won't need to eat anymore but if you want to me or hestia can make food. Did you guys have any questions before you lay down?"
I asked them if they Gaga's anything else to ask after stopping at the entrance of the cave. Again, after some brief eye contact between the two, Hera spoke for them both.
"No, not right now, we are just ready to rest a bit. We may have some questions after waking though. We would like to thank you again for the care you've shown us, Hades. We hope to get to know you as well as Hestia better over time but for now, we will go to rest."
Hestia spoke before I could.
"Okay, rest well sisters, see you soon!"
"I will be training outside if you need anything."
With that we left. Hestia went to go try to see if she could get any other skills. I went to the opposite side, I still need to finish training my devourer divinity. But before that, I should look at my sisters ranking.

[A.N. Just go with it. I wrote most of this chapter while dead tired, also I'm speeding up the process of his siblings getting here and their eventual escape.
Thanks for all the support, I'll be keeping this story going for a while at least. Haven't even made it out of volume 1 yet and I have 4 volumes planned so far. I will update the volume titles once we hit volume 2. Again thanks for all the support and I'm open to any comments or ideas anyone may have.
Chapters will only be posted on weekends only.
Also for my novel atlas is the god of endurance and strength, not just endurance.
P.S. Only Hestia and the other big other 2 of 3 will get their own POV regularly,others maybe 1-3 pov's]
