Omega: Well, who wants to read now?
Everyone would just give Omega a look, asking Really?
Hephaestus: I will do it.
Thus everyone looked at Hephaestus.
Aphrodite: Why?
Hephaestus: Because there are no more solutions, we read and move forward or we stop and do nothing.
A Mother's Relationships
Ok, the title confused everyone
Hera, the queen of Olympus, is a beautiful woman, about 1.75 cm tall, with a voluptuous body, reddish hair and hazel eyes. She is an extremely beautiful woman, with flawless skin and a regal and calm look. , worthy of her.
Hera from the room she only puffed out her chest with pride, because they were recognizing her beauty. Maybe it sounds narcissistic, but she feels happy.
But all that beauty is ruined by the tears in her eyes. All this for Zeus
Zeus is Hera's "husband", but not by her own decision, she was forced by Zeus to marry him. He let himself be fooled by her charms and promises of a life full of love and luxury.
But everything turned out to be a lie, at the beginning, it was a real marriage, they supported and loved each other. Or well for her part she really loved Zeus, but all that love and devotion faded away when he was unfaithful to her for the first time.
Hera only directed her gaze towards the Zeus in the room.
Instead, he just tried to ignore her, he didn't want to see her eyes full of rage.
Others like the demigods were sad about Hera's past, maybe she is not the best goddess, but she became bitter for loving the wrong man.
She wanted to separate from him when she found out, she didn't, because he promised to change. She was stupid for believing him, because he keeps cheating on her every chance he gets, over and over again.
Hera was in her temple accompanied by her first son Kairo, who was only comforting his mother in these difficult times for her. It was the only thing I could do.
This was one of the reasons for his hatred towards Zeus, the pain he caused his mother, all for not being able to control his libido, if it weren't for his mother he would have killed Zeus a long time ago.
Zeus: Kairo must be killed, he my trio wants...
Hera: SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!! - I would say with barely containable fury.
Zeus would only glare at Hera.
Zeus: You dare...
Hera: If I dare, damn it, because because of you, almost everyone, if not everyone, thinks I'm a damn neurotic. Because of you everyone believes that I threw Hephaestus off Olympus when it was you - That surprised Hephaestus - Because of your damn deceptions I made my life bitter, so much that I wanted to make you suffer and I had no better idea than to punish children who were not to blame of being born, of women who allowed themselves to be seduced by a shitty bastard - He ends his tirade with rage and tears coming out of his eyes.
Now the demigods and Olympians understand Hera better, she may not be innocent of her actions, but the things she did were directly or indirectly the fault of Zeus.
On the other hand, Zeus was exploding with rage against Hera, the only thing that stopped him was the look of his mother and brothers. He may be powerful, but if Poseidon and Hades team up, they are capable of killing him, so he might as well stay put.
But what was the real reason for Hera's crying? Easy, until now despite his deceptions, Zeus had only had demigod children, but with Leto, a titan, he was going to have twins.
Hera: Why? Why Kairo? Why are you doing this to me?
Kairo: Because it's an unfortunate mother, who only thinks of herself the same and how to satisfy your lust. That despite being a god of justice, he does not enforce it, he is a bastard who does not deserve his title of king of the gods.
Zeus was only boiling with rage, because those words said by that bastard hurt his pride. Who was he to judge and criticize him? He was the king of the gods and had every right to do whatever he wanted.
Hera: You're right, he's a bastard, he's a bad born, but I can punish him, him and his lover, those children go to their - As she was about to finish her dialogue, she was stopped.
Kairo: Enough - Kairo's tone made Hera tremble, her son always had a happy and jovial tone, but now he has a deep and serious tone, capable of instilling respect and fear in everyone who hears that tone. Even to her who is his mother.
The demigods and hunters were paralyzed, because that tone automatically made them stand at attention, they felt that they should not disrespect that god, it is like being in front of a king.
The gods, almost all suffered the same effect as the demigods. Setting his back straight, even Dionysus stopped reading his magazine.
On the other hand, Hades and Hera did not suffer that effect, they were only surprised by their son's tone.
Hera would take a serious look at her son.
Kairo: I'm not going to let you hurt innocents, much less children, for petty revenge, mother.
Hera: But...
Kairo: No buts, mother, if you want to listen to yourself, punish innocent children, murdering them, to punish who? Children who did not ask to be born, poor women deceived and abused by Zeus.
Hera: But Zeus...
Kairo: Well said Zeus, Zeus is the one who deserves to receive punishment, not Leto or his unborn children. Do you know that is the only thing you are going to cause? -Hera I would only shake my head - You will only cause Olympus as a whole to see you as an evil and heartless woman..
Hera: So what do you want me to do? Accept them with open arms and a smile on your face? - I would ask furiously with fury
Kairo: I'm not telling you to love them or hate them, I'm telling you to leave them alone, don't do anything to them and don't blame them for their father's sins, they are innocent souls, besides, who knows? You might get attached to those kids - Hera She would only make fun - Now you make fun, but you are a motherly woman, when you approach me, telling me stories about those children, I am going to tell you, I told you so.
So Kairo left the temple, leaving his mother alone to reflect on his words.
Hera: Me, loving those children?
Thanks to that mother and son talk, many tragedies were avoided.
Apollo: So, in that world, Mom didn't suffer so much?
Omega: Exactly, she was able to give birth peacefully, although because of that the birth order was altered.
Artemis: Wait, that means...
Omega: Yes, Apollo in that dimension is the greatest.
Apollo: But I'm also the oldest here.
Artemis: Apollo, I'm the oldest, but why did the birth order change?
That was a doubt that everyone had.
Omega: What happened is that originally Apollo was going to be born first, but due to adversity and complications in the birth of the two, you were born first to help your mother, but as in that world Hera He did not attempt against your lives and consequently the Leto of that dimension. The birth could take place, as it originally should have.
Artemis: That means that when Apollo claimed to be the oldest, wasn't it just to annoy me?
Omega: He is the god of truth, he does not have the ability to lie, he will always tell the truth, he can avoid it, but never a lie, that is why he says he is the greatest, because he is.
Apollo: Come, I told them, but no one believed me - I would say with a pout on my face.
Hermes: Wait, yes. Hera She never attacked us, as is our relationship with her.
Omega: That's what you have to read to find out.
9 months later
Leto had finally given birth and two children were born. One was Apollo, a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, the other was Artemis, a girl, redhead with silver eyes like the moon.
Artemis: Wait, didn't you say we were born without complications? Why do we take longer to be born? Why do we remain infants?
Omega: In that dimension, the goddesses, inspired by Hera, conceive their son as a mortal and the growth is similar. The only difference is that one mortal year represents two years of growth for the gods.
Apollo: What does that mean?
Omega: That when mortally speaking they are 10, physically and mentally they will be 20.
Athena: Is that for all the gods?
Omega: No, it depends more on the woman who decides how to give birth, for example Amphitrite lets her children grow up like a normal divinity.
The minor gods were jubilant, because their king had new children, but they felt sorry for their queen, she did not deserve this.
So after a year Leto ascended to Olympus, to take care of his children in the divine world. The first time Hera saw the children, she felt great sadness, pain and anger, because she now had to live with her husband's bastard children.
Although her relationship with Leto is strained, she tries to follow her son's advice. He doesn't love children, he doesn't hate them either, he just ignores them so as not to hurt them.
Apollo and Artemis in it is the moment they wanted Kairo to exist in their world.
But everything changed one day in the third year, when Apollo and Artemis were 3 years old, there was a key moment that changed their relationship.
Now that raises doubts in everyone. How did your relationship change?
It was a peaceful day on Olympus, Hera the queen of the gods was walking through one of the beautiful gardens, well guarded by the nymphs.
But she had to stop in her walk when she heard laughter, curious she went to where the noise was coming from. When she was close enough she could see her husband's children playing next to a lake.
When he was about to leave, the girl fell into the lake. From what he could see, she didn't know how to swim. His brother panicked and didn't know what to do.
That scared the twin brothers
Hera thought it was best to leave and let them die. But when he was about to ignore them, the memory of his son came to him.
Do not punish infants who never asked to be born
Thus making a decision, he ran into the lake swimming to rescue the girl.
That surprised everyone in the room, Hera running to save Artemis.
Artemis: Why don't I know how to swim?
Omega: Remember that in that dimension they grow at almost the same rate as mortals. So legally they are 6 years old and a girl like that doesn't know how to swim in such deep waters.
Hermes: ¿Why Hera? Did he save her?
Omega: Guilt.
Hera: Guilt?
Omega: Guilt, that version of you has a stronger maternal instinct, because of how you fathered Kairo, you didn't want to imagine how Leto would feel if he lost one of his children. As Kairo said, they are innocent, they never asked to be born.
Apollo: I don't care, because she did it, I just know that I'm grateful to that version of Hera, for saving my sister.
So Hera rescued the girl, who was crying, and returned to the shore of the lake. But the boy was crying too.
Artemis: I want me mommy - I would say whining
Hera: Shh, calm down, everything is fine, everything is fine now.
Apollo with tears in his eyes.
Apollo: Thank you, miss, thank you - I would say the same as your sister.
Hera only sighed in resignation. But he remembered how he acted when Kairo cried.
Hera: Come on, stop crying, you are brave children, right?
Apollo and Artemis who still go on in Hera's chest they just nodded.
Hera: But brave children don't cry. Were they lying to me? - I would say in a motherly tone.
Artemis: I'm not a brave girl - I would say calmer.
Apollo: Same with me, but I'm braver than my sister.
Artemis: It's not me.
When they were about to argue. Hera stopped them.
Hera: Enough - There was no room for discussion in his tone.
Both: Yes ma'am.
Hera just sighs.
Hera: Well, let's go find his mother.
Percy: Is it just me or...
Thalia: The scene looks like mother and children.
Omega: I remind you that Hera is a goddess of motherhood. It's in your nature.
That made everyone do a double take. How did they forget that?
So Hera went to one of the temples spread throughout Olympus where Leto is located.
When he saw his daughter wet, he went to see what happened to her.
Leto: Artemis, what happened to you? - Concerned question
Artemis: I almost drowned in a lake mom - I was about to cry again being received in Leto's arms by Hera - But the lady saved me from drowning.
Leto would only give Hera a grateful look.
Leto: Thank you Hera, thank you for saving my girl - I would say very grateful.
Hera: I couldn't let her die, after all she is just an innocent girl.
With that phrase Leto understands what he meant.
Leto: Sorry for...
Hera: No... It's not your fault.
Hera was about to leave for her temple, but she feels someone holding her hand. When he looks down he finds the boy.
Apollo: Please don't leave yet, stay a while to talk.
Artemis: Yes, stay a while, please.
The twins would say, giving him a scolded puppy look.
Leto: Children, let Hera go change, she's still wet.
So Artemis got out of Leto's arms and ran and hugged Hera - No, if she doesn't promise to come back I won't let her leave - Pouting, still holding Hera's leg
Hera, remembering when Kairo did that, could only smile with nostalgia and joy, because this girl was very similar.
Hera: I promise to come back and visit her okay.
Artemis: You swear - I would say seriously, but being a girl she just looked cute.
Hera: I swear.
1 year later
Throughout this year Hera has been getting closer to Leto and the twins, to the point that their relationship has changed.
Hera and Leto became good friends, and his relationship with the twins also changed.
Artemis and Apollo: Mother Leto, Mother Hera.
Everyone in the room had their eyes wide open.
Hera: What did they call me? - I would say in shock, hearing what they called her left her in that state
Omega: They called you mom.
Artemis: Why?
Apollo: And how fast?
Omega: Because Hera was taking care of you and Leto for a whole year, you began to see her as a second mother figure. And it was not a short time, since for you psychologically it was 2 years where she took care of you.
Hera: But how?
Omega: Kairo, thanks to Kairo you changed your perspective on children. You grow fond of them both, but especially Artemis.
Artemis: Why specifically me?
Omega: Because you are more similar to Kairo, but she is not looking to replace Kairo, it was just that it was easier for you to get attached to you, since you always seek to imitate her in almost everything.
Artemis: Why?
Omega: Because she is a queen and for a little girl a queen is the most neat and elegant woman. But lots of context, keep reading.
The 4 were in one of Hera's gardens, which are inside her temple.
XXXX: I've only been gone for a year and you're already changing me, you're hurting me, mother.
Leto jumped, frightened by the voice. Instead Hera He just turned around and hugged the man who spoke to him.
Hera: I would never change you, my son - I would say with affection.
Kairo: I know, I know, I'm irreplaceable.
Hera: I'm sure I have one or another measure.
The twins: Mother, who is he?
Hera: Meet your older brother Kairo.
Apollo: Incredible brother older, but I bet you're not as incredible as me - I would say with pride and eyes closed.
Kairo: Who are you?
Apollo: I am...
Kairo: Not you, the girl - She would talk mocking the boy
Leaving Apollo petrified.
Artemis: I am Artemis, daughter of Leto and Zeus and adopted daughter of Hera - I would say with joy.
Kairo: Well, I am Kairo, son of Hades and Hera. The Prince of the Underworld - I would speak respectfully to the girl
Percy: Wait a minute, do you have heirs?
Poseidon: Yes, but we hardly use it, since they rarely take power, such as if we are captured by an enemy. Or we die and have to wait to appear again. But we rarely use them.
Annabeth: Who are his heirs?
Poseidon: Mine is Triton. Zeus is Athena but Hades is not.
Hades: I have no heir.
Nico: Why dad?
Hades: I only have one goddess daughter, Melione, and you and I know she's not the best.
Persephone: It's not that bad either.
Hades: I remind you that the only time we left her in charge, she burned the entire Underworld. The worst thing was that it was with water.
Poseidon: Wait, what?
Hades: No joke, I don't know how, but he made the pure water catch fire and spread throughout the underworld.
After finding out that they continued reading.
Artemis: Incredible - I would say with stars in my eyes.
Kairo: Right? - Artemis nodded excitedly - Aww look at you little one, I've decided from today you are my protégé
Artemis would only look at Kairo badly - I'm not small, I just need to believe. How protected? I don't need you to protect me.
Kairo: Ya, ya, little girl, I don't want to tell you that you're weak, but compared to the big monsters, you're just an ant.
Artemis: What if I defeat you?
Kairo: Let's make a deal, until the day you defeat me I promise to take you on a very fun trip and you will no longer be under my protection, okay?
Apolo: This...
Artemis: Deal.
So they both shook hands as a sign of agreement.
Kairo: Well, good luck little one, you only have millennia left to be able to give me a blow that really hurts me hahahahahaha.
Artemis: Shut up - I would say hitting Kairo in the legs, it was a useless effort because it didn't hurt Kairo one bit.
Artemis: I hate it.
Omega: Don't say that.
Artemis would just give Omega a look, asking why not?
Omega: Look, their relationship is very good, he is your older brother and you from that dimension know that whenever she needs him he will be there for her.
Artemis: I hate him anyway.
Omega: That version of you says the same thing, but you adore him and always try to imitate him.
6 years later.
Apollo and Artemis are now physically 20 years old. They reached their majority.
Apollo was an attractive young man of about 20 years old, with a body sculpted to be attractive, blue eyes, golden hair kissed by the sun, which reached his lower back, he was someone of average height, measuring 1.80 cm tall.
On the other hand, Artemis was a beautiful woman, with fine features who also seemed to be about 20 years old, her body, unlike her brother, is sculpted for combat, despite not having such a voluptuous body, it was an attractive body to look at, she has She had silver eyes and reddish brown hair, and she was a little small, measuring only about 1.65 cm tall..
Apollo: In that world you are a dwarf.
Artemis: SHUT UP!!!
Kairo: So my little moon, how are you feeling tonight? Nervous? Scared? Do you want something? Maybe a hug?
When Artemis was going to answer, Athena pinched Kairo's arm.
Athena: Behave, you don't see that you are overwhelming her with so many questions.
Kairo: I'm worried, that's all Tea, plus I know she's fine, after all she was trained by me. I would say with a smile.
Athena only raised an eyebrow at Kairo.
Kairo: Well, I'm nervous. Happy?
Athena: Well done, accepting your emotions and knowing how to express them is an important part of growing up.
Kairo: Not even a small child - Those were Kairo's thoughts.
Athena: And don't make faces, you look bad, behave and stand firm.
Cairo: We are not in a relationship either so you can tell me what you are doing.
Aphrodite: I told them - I would say a sly smile.
Athena: It's just advice, that's all. He said it himself we are not in a relationship to start
Hermes: But they behave like a married couple.
Athena: You shut up.
But what is so important today is that the two of them are in the Olympic hall.
Easy Zeus had called them one of the 11 of Olympus that are formed by: Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Hestia, Poseidon, Hades, Hephaestus, Ares, Aphrodite, Athena and now the recently integrated Apollo and Artemis.
Nico: Why isn't Kairo an Olympian?
Omega: Zeus and his paranoia, there can only be one god for the kingdom of his brothers and since Hades is an Olympian, Kairo cannot be one.
Everyone just rolled their eyes, of course.
Kairo: Well getting back to the topic, congratulations my little moon, you are now an Olympic goddess.
Artemis: Of course you do and now you are beneath me - I would say haughty.
Kairo: I'm sure I'm about 25 cm taller than you.
Artemis would just try to hit him but it doesn't work as Kairo keeps avoiding her.
Kairo: You're still that haughty girl that I can't control yourself and so he claims to be my superior, what a laugh
Hera: You two, stop it.
Artemis: But...
Hera: No buts, first Kairo apologize to Artemis and stop making fun of her and you, Artemis, that's not how a lady behaves.
Kairo: Of course, mother - I would say, kissing Hera on the cheek and then hugging and lifting Artemis, making her spin - Sorry for my offense, little moon. Will you forgive me?
Artemis would only give Kairo a glance.
Artemis: No, you don't deserve my forgiveness.
Kairo: Of course not, but do you know who deserves it? - I would say excited
Artemis: Who? - Curious about what Kairo meant.
Kairo: Meet my gift - So Kairo summons a wolf of the same color as the moon - Meet Ahri, my gift to you.
Artemisa: But my father already gave me 9 dogs. Why do I want a wolf?
Ahri: And why do I want a spoiled girl? - I would say a clearly feminine tone.
Kairo: Because she's not just any wolf, she's a creation of mine, who has special abilities, you just have to discover them.
Artemis: Why do I have to discover them?
Kairo: Because if I were to just name the abilities that I have given her, it would be very boring, plus the two of them need to form a bond and what better way is there to get to know each other than to learn from each other? Besides, they have a lot in common.
Both Ahri and Artemis were waiting to see how the hell they are the same?
Kairo: They are both stubborn, bad-tempered, they adore me but they are tsunderes who don't accept it.
So Ahri and Artemis were about to attack Kairo, but a look from Hera stopped them in their tracks.
Hera: Kairo, what did I tell you about calling your sister stubborn?
Kairo: Don't let him do it in front of you?
Hera: Don't ever do it - I would say with a trembling eyebrow.
Kairo would just give his mother a smile. But when he was about to respond, Athena grabbed him by the arm and led him away, she didn't want to start an argument.
Artemisa: No if you hate him or love him at this moment..
Apollo: How do you love him? - Asks scared
Artemis: Brotherly love, idiot.
Omega: That's because you don't know Kairo like that version of you, I say again, even though she treats you like a little girl, in reality that version of you loves it, because it's her way of joking and she knows that Kairo loves it. love and care with all your heart
Aphrodite: Athena, let Kairo have fun - I would say with mockery.
Athena: Leave me alone Aphrodite - There was fatigue in her tone.
Athena: You know, you should stop provoking everyone - I would say still holding his arm.
Kairo: But it's so entertaining to see my little moon's annoyed faces, which is so entertaining.
Athena: Well, look for something else that entertains you.
Kairo: No
Athena: You know that sounded very selfish of you.
Kairo: Maybe it sounds like that, but I actually worry about her, now she's not just another goddess, she's an Olympian and she's going to go through difficulties commensurate with her position.
Atena: I understand you Kairo, you care about her, believe me too, but you can't protect her all her life, she has to start walking alone
Kairo just sighed - Well, I'll stop caring so much about Artemis. Happy?
Athena: I'm not asking you to stop caring for her, just to allow her to experiment. It's okay to take care of it, but let it grow
While the two of them talk, everyone on Olympus watches this interaction.
Aphrodite: I demand to be the godmother of the wedding.
Athena: What wedding Aphrodite?
Aphrodite: You're not fooling me, dear.
That's how time passed.
Hera also adopted the god Hermes, as another son under his care. His closeness with his adopted children was so great that even in some myths, it is said that those three are actually biological children of Hera and Zeus.
There were also more important changes. Hades resigned his position as Olympian, leaving that position to his son Kairo.
Also the increase in power of the Greek pantheon. Thanks to his years of combat experience, Kairo spent his time training with his brothers, thus making Hephaestus, Elitia, Hebe, Hermes, Apollo and Artemis more powerful. And he also helped train his parents and aunts. The only ones who didn't accept his help were Ares because he preferred to face strong enemies to train and Zeus because he didn't trust Kairo. Another more subtle change was Kairo's gradual approach to Athena, so much so that rumors of a possible lover's relationship were heard.
Despite all the changes, Kairo continues to work specifically in the underworld, helping his father govern it.
Zeus: He wants to take my throne from me, don't you see, he is coming in to overthrow me.
Poseidon: I heard that you were the one who refused his offer of training, he instead wanted to help you become stronger.
Zeus: Sure, what I really wanted was for him to let his guard down to kill me.
Hades: Then why does he spend his time helping me in the underworld, instead of being on Olympus?
Zeus: To throw me off, obviously.
Poseidon: You know what, forget it, let's continue reading. There's still something left to read, right?
Omega: A little.
Kairo is sleeping in his father's temple. The truth is that the gods do not need to sleep, but something happens within their sleep.
Kairo finds himself in a giant void with stars and worlds being born.
XXXX: It's beautiful, right?
Kairo: Yes, but what am I seeing?
XXXX: You are seeing one of your domains in action, chaos.
Kairo: It's an honor to meet Chaos in person. I never expected you to be such a beautiful woman.
Chaos: Thank you for the compliment young god, do you know why I brought you?
Kairo: The truth is that no, I don't know the cause of the Why drag me here?
Chaos: I have been observing the earthly and divine world for too long. I have noticed that you still do not fully understand your domains, young god, especially one
Kairo only raised an eyebrow in doubt, and then spoke - Which one?
Chaos: Balance young god, you have one part, but you are missing the other half
Kairo: What?
Chaos: I'm going to give you some advice: Balance is achieved when two parts converge into one.
After that dream Kairo stood up with a start - So my other half, huh? Interesting - I would say it with an excited smile
That left everyone stunned, Kairo spoke to Lady Chaos herself.
What kind of balance? What the hell does that mean?
Athena: What kind of balance? What does that mean?
Omega: Two parts are needed for balance. How Yin-Yang cannot exist one without the other
Kairo already has the Yin.
Hera: He lacks his Yang to balance.
Hades: That's why when two parts converge, a new one is born. Kairo needs his other half, so to speak.
Annabeth:How does he get his other half?
Omega: You have to discover that by reading the book. There is nothing better than the intrigue of knowing what can happen.
