Second chapter:
Leto's pov
I'm mother to Apollo, Artemis, twins by I, the Titaness and Zeus, the playful, yet, majestic younger brother of other Olympians but also their king who happened to been married to theirs youngest sister, Hera.
I was worried for months since the queen unleashed her wrath upon me, I can reform if I shed too much blood but the little godlings in my womb can't. When things took to the worse turn, Hera came and secretly told me to give birth in Delos island.
Hard to believe, right? I expected Zeus' queen to kill me by the sheer venom of her glare upon my shadow for ruining her 'perfect' marriage.
Oh, how naïve! My queen, 300 years of fidelity is all you get. That's the upper limit you can expect from the mighty thunder god.
I wanted to shout at you for venting your rage at your husband's seduction for me, but deep down I understood.
It didn't make me less pissed though.
I restrained myself and grinned said I forgive you, the wry smile made me confused, the idea you noticed my lies was gone as soon as it appeared.
I mean, how could you ever? You're so proud and confident, you had always been and will be forgiven by your siblings at every 'little' mistake of poking someone's inner wounds with your sharp tongue.
Peacock is your sacred animal.
A proud beautiful peacock would never doubt itself.
