Chapter 2010: The Deal Forward
2010 The Deal Forward
The Goddess of Life Demeter's statement made the anger of the God King Zeus and the God Queen Hera fizzle out. They were now being threatened to starvation if they do not bend to the will of the Goddess of Life Demeter. The thought of not having the lavish feasts filled with the wine created by the Goddess of Life Demeter being tended by the God of Wine Dionysus. If the Goddess of Life Demeter tells them that all gods of life will join her then she is not joking.
"I already gave you some reprieve back then when you wanted your daughter out of the underworld! Do not push me anymore as your selfishness has created a rift between me and my brother!" The God King Zeus stated but he was more composed as lightning did not rumble.
"Sister, please do not be hasty. I am sure that you and my husband will create an agreement where both of your wants are granted. Please exercise your wise and venerable self, dear husband." The God Queen Hera stated as she tried to soothe the God King Zeus.
"If my son is not protected then I shall have winter come to Olympus for twelve months instead of six." The Goddess of Life Demeter demanded.
"Wow! You are such a diva, but I respect it. Still, maybe ease on the Goddess of Life Persephone as I can see that she is enjoying her time in the underworld. You have grandkids there and they do not like being away from their parents too much. Even if gods do not care for the perception of time, they will have that when someone precious is taken from them." Adrian commented but the Goddess of Life Demeter ignored his rumblings.
"And you, my darling son. Shut your mouth before I do it or else the anger of my brother will really end you." The Goddess of Life Demeter stated as she looked at the God of Wealth Plutus with eyes that could pierce walls.
"I am blind, mother. I cannot see what their reactions are. Who blinded me? Oh right! It was uncle if I am not mistaken. Do not get me started on their schemes of getting me sealed." The God of Wealth Plutus stated with immense sass.
"I know your pain child, but you have just returned. Shut up if you want to stay that way." The Goddess of Life Demeter whispered, and the God of Wealth Plutus can only grumble and accept as he does not want to get sealed again.
"Dear husband, our sister is resolute this time. She even used some mysterious power and a holy relic to clash with us in this realm. She has already planned this from the beginning while we have not even carried the holy relics here. Victory might not be in our grasp against her as we do not have holy relics to stabilize our energies." The God Queen Hera stated.
"I know, dear wife. Still, I must also be resolute as that intrepid boy has been cursing at me. If his eyes were still there then he will be disrespecting me even more." The God King Zeus stated as he is still showing an imposing figure.
"Can both of those stuck-up people hurry up?! My body is already beyond stressed from this possession. You are burning my aether energy at a great degree and it is no longer regenerating beyond 50." Adrian grumbled as he could see notifications telling him that there would be some backlash to his body.
"Dear husband. Please tell your magnanimous decision to our sister." The God Queen Hera stated as she clutched the God King Zeus' arms.
"Hear me, sister! I shall forgive the offense of my nephew for such words against me. Instead, he will not be able to return to Olympus, but he will still be recognized as a god there. No Gods of Olympus and all under our banner shall treat him like an outsider. Do you agree, sister?" The God King Zeus stated.
"It is not like I want to return to that place anyways." The God of Wealth Plutus muttered but it was still heard by the God King Zeus and the God Queen Hera.
"Zip it, son." The Goddess of Life Demeter stated as she used some magic to create a gag made of bundled wheat for the God of Wealth Plutus.
"As long as my son is no longer under threat from Olympus then I do not need anything else. I just need you to promise what you have said to the Fates. Both of you." The Goddess of Life Demeter stated.
"Sister! You do not mean to say that we are not keepers of our words. We are family." The God Queen Hera stated.
"I may be your sister, but you blinded my son to which I did not say anything. You sealed despite your word that you will not do it. I need a vow to the Fates before I truly agree." The Goddess of Life Demeter stated with great confidence.
"I swear to the Fates of what I have said earlier." The God King Zeus stated as an eerie wind suddenly blew across the wind.
"I swear as well." The God Queen Hera stated as another eerie wind blew.
"Since you have made the promises, I shall no longer press for anything. My son, you can stay at my personal divine realm for the time being." The Goddess of Life Demeter stated.
"No more. My body can no longer take it. Get out." Adrian stated as he suddenly pushed the divine soul of the Goddess of Life Demeter out of his body towards her holy relic.
"Such impertinence!" The Goddess of Life Demeter stated as she was shocked that she was easily expelled once again by a being that is not even a demigod.
"You have exceeded your possession time, lady goddess." Adrian stated as he suddenly heard thunder rumble.
"Finally! The demon that is disrespectful has separated from our sister." The God King Zeus stated as he started to harness lightning.
"Hit me with that then I will declare no aid from the Gods of Death on your end. I am the Mediator of Death, but my best friend is also the Mediator of Life. Make a wrong move by offending us and all of your heroes will be booted out of Elysium." Adrian threatened as his aura changed to that of one with great authority.
"Sister, is what he says true?" The God Queen Hera asked.
"It is true, sister. The Twin Gods appointed him Mediator of Death and his friend the Mediator of Life. All the gods of life and the gods of death are now under them for the time being." The voice of the Goddess of Life Demeter came out from the holy relic.
"Husband, we must not offend the Mediator of Death. Calm your rage as you know that you are partly at fault." The God Queen Hera stated even though she knows that it is all of the God King Zeus' fault.
"Also, since you are already here. I am warning you gods to not mess with time and space even with relics. One wrong mistake of doing it may create a powerful rift that connects to the other universes. Even if you are playing with relics, play with those that do not alter the fabric of reality. If you want the aid of demons in fixing the fabric of time and space, you better heed my advice." Adrian stated but his words were clearly directed towards the God King Zeus.
Numerous sparks and rumbled could be heard as the God King Zeus were keeping his anger in check. If he did not learn that Adrian was the Mediator of Death, then he might have unleased his wrath upon him. The God King Zeus was holding himself back to the point that lightning shot upward instead of downward.
"Let me also warn you, little demon. Do not test my patience because it will run out eventually. Olympus has no need of the powers of you demons." The God King Zeus stated.
"Will you promise those words to the Fates?" Adrian stated with a condescending smile, but the God King Zeus cannot do so and can only leave.
"He left without even saying goodbye. I never met gods that are so rude." Adrian stated as he looked at the skies clearing up.
"Since my siblings are gone. I will just reiterate what I said earlier. You can stay at my divine realm for the moment, my son." The Goddess of Life Demeter stated.
"No mother. I love that you care but I already have a place where I can stay. My transport to that realm is also present here as I have already sent my regards." The God of Wealth Plutus stated.
"Where will you stay since you are not allowed in Olympus?" The Goddess of Life Demeter asked.
"I will stay with brother-in-law in Hades." The God of Wealth Plutus stated which made the Goddess of Life Demeter's face drop.
