chapter 15
Circe pov
Uma and I stood at the edge of Olympus, our eyes filled with determination as we prepared to confront Zeus.
We went back to auradon and had gathered a group of allies which were Hercules, posideion, Mavis, percy, meg, harry and gil who all that that zeus had gone too far and had thought he was abusing he's power
Mal thought I was bringing irrational and thought I should just let him keep my throne and move on which resulted in her getting bitch slapped for even saying that to my face.
This was important to me. The underworld was my kingdom. It was the kingdom that dad ruled and kept order for many years and I be damned if I let Zeus the egotistical manic ruin it
As we made our way through the majestic halls of Olympus, tensions rose. The gods and goddesses watched us but mostly me with wary eyes, whispers of discontent spreading like wildfire.
What is she doing? And why did posideion bring her? One of them said
I knew I had to navigate the treacherous politics of Olympus carefully if I were to succeed and get my kingdom back without to many casualties
Finally, we reached the grand throne room where Zeus sat upon his golden seat with his wife Hera on his right and his daughter Artemis on left
The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as I stepped forward.
"We demand justice, Zeus!" I declared, my voice echoing through the room.
Zeus looked down at me, his expression a mix of anger and amusement. "And what justice do you seek, little mortal?"
"I am no mortal! My father is Hades lord of the underworld." I said
" And your mother is maleficent so you're not a full blooded Goddess." Jesus said as posideion stepped forward
"Actually brother she gave up her mortal half. Her mother's DNA is no longer in her blood" posideion said causing gasped to be heard throughout the room
" That's correct which means I am the future queen of the underworld, and I demand you return what was stolen from me."
Zeus let out a booming laugh. "Stolen? Your throne was rightfully taken, Circe. For the safety of Olympus and if you hadn't done what you did I would have taken your powers. You are dangerous like your father! Too dangerous to have powers like your father! and have shown by coming here your too dangerous to keep alive"
"Father don't you think you're being to harsh? You don't have to kill circe" Artemis said
Silence! Zeus shouted
My eyes blazed with fury and hatred
"That is not fair, Zeus. You cannot condemn me because of who my father is. I didn't ask to be born. If you feel that way about me how do you feel about Layla and Nico? Those are his children as well do you plan on killing them as well" I said
"Yes" Zeus said simply
Zeus! Hera said shocked while my anger took over my mind
You bastard! You would murder innocent children because of what our father did to Hercules centuries ago! We had nothing to do with that! We weren't even thought of! Your supposed to be the god of justice! Killing the innocent isn't justice! It's cruel and unnecessary and abuse of your power! I said
A murmur rippled through the room, some gods and goddesses showing signs of other gods and goddesses agreeing with me.
Zeus, however, remained unmoved just more angry
"You dare challenge the power of the gods?" he bellowed.
"Oh I ain't challenging the gods. I'm challenging you." I said
"You are a foolish child! You dare go up against the god of lighting and thunder! You are alone! Your sister has abandoned you you have you no one. You will die just like Typhon did when I cast him into Tartarus" Zeus bellowed
" I am not alone, Zeus," I declared.
"We have the support of those who have suffered under your rule. We will not stand idly by while you continue to abuse your power." Posideion said he, meg, Hercules, Uma, harry and gil stepped forward
A powerful gust of wind filled the room as I saw the other gods and goddesses step forward, their expressions filled with newfound determination.
They had been silently observing the proceedings, apparently waiting for someone to challenge Zeus's authority for many eons of years
Suddenly I felt a familiar cold chill making smile as I heard my father's voice
"We stand with Circe," Hades, the god of the underworld himself, declared, his voice filled with authority.
Dad! I said seeing him standing next to Persephone with my brother and sister
"It is time for a change, Zeus. Your reign has been tainted with corruption." Persephone said as More gods and goddesses joined our cause, their loyalty shifting as they witnessed the strength and conviction of my words and the words of Persephone. The room filled with a palpable tension as it soon be came quite clear to me
Mal was right. There was a war brewing. It had been brewing for eons of years and even tho I wanted to avoid it there was gonna be bloodshed.
The battle of the gods was coming and only one ruler was gonna survive.
