Heavenly Revelation

Orions POV

Mortals, humans, people are nothing more than dust. Yet they find happiness in their imperfection." ORION! , get out of that careless mind of yours, and answer my question." My eldest brother Zeus exclaims." Brother, why do you suddenly care about my opinion on your mindless ideas?" I sigh, still gazing down on the world beneath me. You see my almighty big brother, whom I haven't spoken to in a millennium. Wants to know my thoughts on his latest idea, which is creating a replica of Earth. The only problem is the universe is my district of the four districts(Humans, water/sea, underworld/hell, and space).

Not like that means anything to him, he has been going behind my back and creating everything his oaf brain can think of. I honestly no longer have the want to care. "Ugggggh, would you pay attention to me... LOOK AT ME!. He yells. I huff in annoyance and turn my deathly empty gaze towards him. “Look here Zeus, do not forget you are the one who has called me here, for supposed business. So do not raise your voice with me, after all, that is an awful way to treat your guest." I finish with a fake pout." You are not a guest, you are nothing more than an unwanted pest of a sister," he spat. I put my hand over my heart, "oh, brother, how you've wounded me", I say with a sarcastic spit. I couldn't care less what any of my brothers think of me, especially Zeus." you know what forget it, I'll do it on my own," he grunts. " Ah, now that is the most sensible thing you have said today, brother, bravo brother, bravo." I sarcastically clap to piss him off, "well, if that is all, I will be on my way" I finish with a yawn.

Man, Zeus sure knows how to make 30 minutes seem like a million years, might I add in Hell. On my way out of my brother's ridiculously large mansion, I bump into Hera. " How was the meeting?" she asks with hope trailing in her voice. I loved my sister's inlaw, but she knew, just like everyone, that me and Zeus in a room together for more than 10 minutes never ends well. Even when we try to be cordial with each other's existence, he just acts like an overpowering ass. I give her the (you already know look) . " OK, OK, a goddess can only hope," she says while putting her hands up in defeat.

" Will you at least stay for dinner, all the kids plus Hestia and Demeter will be there?" " Tempting, but I don't think the lord of dimwits will like to see me anymore”. I laugh lightly, honestly, I want to stay just to see his face when he sees me at the table, and to of course see my other family." Don't worry about him, if he says anything, I’ll use my secret weapon to shut him up." She retorts I raise my eyebrow " and what would this weapon be, oh dear sister ?" I question. " Well that would just ruin the secret part, wouldn't it sister," she says with a smirk, "you are one interesting goddess " I chuckle out. " Alright then, I guess it's settled." I’ll be back for dinner in a bit," I say as I walk out the house. I need to visit my Aunt Phoebe, I haven’t talked to her in a bit, plus she is a goddess in the kitchen. See what I did there, because she’s a goddess and great at cooking, no, Dang tough crowd. As I’m making my way over to her house, I see Amphitrite Poseidon’s wife. “ YO A” I yell, she turns in my direction to see who it is and if looks could kill (plus, if I weren’t immortal), I’d be in the underworld. You see, we have a love-hate relationship, but we have mutual respect. “ How can I help you Orion?” she sighs. “ Sheesh, can’t a girl just say hi, “I say playing dumb. She raises her eyebrows with a questioning look “ okay , FINE” I exasperated “ have you seen my aunt because I called and it went to voicemail?” I say with a pout. “ Yeah , she and Coeus went on vacation to the mortal world” she replied dryly while scrolling through her phone. Where could she have gone that she hasn't been before? I hate to say it, but the woman is as time is self. “ Alrighty then, oh, tell Si to stop playing around with the currents, making them irregular, they don't match up with the moon phases .” I grunt, he's always playing around with something no one ever listens to me. “ Are you coming to this dinner thing ?” I ask . Before I could get a full reply, she was walking away mumbling yeah, Amphitrite is something else, just attitude. I can't blame her though , she's stuck with king fish breath for eternity.

You know I love my nieces and nephews. But they get on my last nerve , after talking to Amphitrite, I went to visit Calligeneia, one of Demeter’s nymphs, and she just went on about how things in Olympus have gone down hill and that I should do something. But shes knows that I stay to myself , my brothers have made it very clear about how they feel about me. After getting a sermon of what I should do , I head back to Zeus’s place. The second I walk back into place, I'm bombarded with questions like you go off the grid for a few centuries, and they act like it's been a milliena. “ Aunt Orion , are you even listening?” Ares ask breaking me out of my thoughts? “No” I say trying to figure out when he got so buff. Gods , what are they feeding him . People . As I look him over, I hear him huff and walk away. Great Orion , what an awesome way to start a family dinner. “ Don't worry about him, he’s short tempered like Zeus.” I hear a voice say , I look behind me to see Athena . “ Wassup kid, I like the haircut” I say only for her to let out a bitter light laugh looking down to the floor. My brother sure did have some pretty kids , but I'll say it's from their mother. You will never catch me boasting my brother’s stupid ego. “Thank you, at least someone likes it. Zeus, I look too much like god when I should be acting and looking like a goddess,” she says with a bitter light laugh looking down to the floor. “ Zeus can shut his misogynistic butt up , your father is a prick, never take anything he say to heart.” I say softly as I lift her head so her eyes meet mine. No matter how strong and independent Athena is , she still wants Zeus’s approval. All of his kids do , Zeus is so self-absorbed he can’t see that his kids are fighting each other for his love and acceptance. 

It is pitiful to watch , part of the reason I left Olympus. “ Where are the others Athena” I ask, rubbing my forehead. I suddenly don't think this dinner is a good idea. “ RIII!!!!” I hear someone shout , suddenly I feel 2 bodies collide with mine. “ Baby sisters” I hug them back. “ You know it doesn't hurt to visit” Hestia grumbles. “ Actually, it does if I get back breaking hugs like this” I wheeze out. They both let go, and Demeter punches my shoulder. “ Ouch” I say with a sarcastic wince rubbing my shoulder. “ Shut up Orion , you know full well you deserved that” Hestia gripes. Aw, man , they must really be mad , crap. I’m not good with emotions, think Orion , think. “ Look , I’m sorry , I guess I didn't leave in the most gracious way” I say sincerely . I think that was a good apology, right? Sweet and honest-ish, I did leave abruptly, but I do not regret leaving, but I do regret how I did. “ Oh really, how about without a single word” Demeter mutters. “ I know “ I say looking down , “ but you know how bad things were and STILL are”. I rebut with a grimace. I try and reason with them, but I’m just met with eye rolls in response. “ YO DINNERS READY, COME EAT” Apollo shouts. I sigh making my way towards the dinning room , I’m starting to feel real uneasy about this dinner. 

As I enter the dining room ; I see all my nieces and nephews. They look so grown up , granted they are becoming full-grown gods and goddesses now . “ Where’s big head almighty” I ask while taking my seat at the end of the table with Athena on my right and Hermes on my left. “ Late as usual”, Hermes grumbles quietly. He was always the quiet one . He was never one for the drama. I remember always finding him trying to break up fights or reading and help to raise the animals with Demeter. I’m broken from the memory by hear a heavy huff, I look up only for my eyes to meet Zeus’s. “ Why are you here, this is a family dinner?” he spat. While taking his seat at the other end of the table. Hades growls at his bluntness and moves to say something. But I raise my hand to signal him to not bother. I clear my throat, “ Zeus, don't behave so childishly , I am here because my presence was requested, so don't get your boxers in bunch”. I say dryly, taking a sip from my glass of wine. Gods know I will need more to get through this evening. He looks at me with pure hatred, and I smirk back raising my eyebrow. He flares his nose in anger, but calls for the food to be brought in. As the food is being brought in, everyone carries on with their conversation. Once everything is plated in front of me, I am met with seared scallops with ambrosia salad topped with a nectar drizzle. As the servants walk away, a sweet scent and the sound of shackles are greeted to my nose and ears. I look away from the food to see a mortal, my eyes widen when I see her state. She is bruised all over, and there are chain cuffs on her ankles.

Mortals are not allowed on Olympus, it is LAW. Its dangerous and unsafe for them, they are usually just used and killed after. I wouldn't really care, but I can't get over her scent, it calls me, and I can't ignore it, I won't. I get up from the table when I see Zeus put his leg out to trip her. “ WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?” I yell at Zeus moving to help her up. When I move to touch her, she screams and scurries on her knees to the corner. My heart drops from the absolute fear I see and feel emanating off of her. “ no no, it-ts OK I promise p-please don't be afraid of me” I say softly surprising myself. When I stutter? What in the world is going on with me , why do suddenly care for this? Human? She whimpers when Zeus starts to chuckle lowly, that only blazes my anger. I turn around and look at Zeus with no emotion. “ ZEUS, why is she here?” I demand not bothering to look at his pathetic face . “ Oh , this little thing , why does it concern you sister?” he prods. “ You have never cared for their well-being before, why does this? Mere play thing matter?” to you?” he says while pulling her up by her hair. Causing her to cry out in pain. In seconds, my blade of chaos appears in my hand. With me holding to Zeus’s neck. My eyes aglow as the mirror of the constellations . “ Let her go , or Olympus will be in need of a new ruler” I say through gritted teeth. He smiles and drops her. “The goddesses of nothing showing concern, what a treat”. He scowls. I throw my blade at him, pinning him to the wall through his shoulder, Ares and Poseidon stand up and move towards him to help him, but I throw my star blades, knicking them by their clothes, pinning them to the wall. “ NO, you will not save this royal disgrace today” I snap out . I have never felt so much anger and blood-lust towards my brother. “You Menace, HOW DARE YOU COME INTO MY HOME AND THREATEN ME?” he shouts wincing while trying to pull my blade of chaos out of his shoulder. 

Everyone goes silent as I walk towards the girl , who had now fainted from the drop. I pick her up bridal style, using my aura, I heal her wounds the best I can. “ SHE BELONGS TO ME, and if she dies brother, I will kill you . Rip you to pieces and scatter you across the galaxy. NO ONE will ever remember your existence, I promise” I finish with a low growl. I summon my blades to disappear and make my way out of the house. I don't know what is wrong with me but I do know that this mortal is MINE , and I will protect her. I hear foot steps following me, but I pay no mind. I call for Atlas to bring me home, and as his beam surrounds me, I hear a whisper in my head say “ she is home”. While I am being taken home , I can’t help but to admire her beautiful face. STOP IT Orion what the hell are you doing, oh gods, what have I done. I have never stood up to Zeus and to make it worse over a MORTAL. Once I am home, Atlas is bombarding me with questions. Still ,I am stuck in my thoughts. Why was she in Olympus ,and why is she so wounded? I question myself, but the biggest question of all, why do I care?
