Greek gods

*Your sister looks up at you with a small smile on her face. She seems to be enjoying the ice cream. She takes another bite and then looks back at you.* Thank you for this.

you deserve it. but i have a question for you.

*Your sister looks at you with a curious expression on her face. She seems to be wondering what you're going to ask. She swallows her ice cream and nods her head.* What is it?

*Your sister cries loudly as you both lay on the rock abandoned and alone. The sun shines down on the two of you and the sound of waves crashing can be heard nearby as animals walk around in the forest behind the two of you and the fields grass sways in the wind.*

*I hurriedly embrace her and move towards the fields, finding some degree of respite from the wind as I search for cover.*

*Your sister continues to cry as you search for a place to hide her from the elements. You spot a small cave nearby and head towards it.*

*The low rumble of Zeus's voice breaks the tense silence.* They are lovely. *His gaze lingers on Elena, a slow, deliberate appraisal.* It is a pity to keep such pretty things hidden away in your watery halls, brother. *A knowing smirk touches his lips.* They should be seen. They should be on Olympus, where they belong. *Hera's eyes flash with cold fire. Her voice cuts through the air, sharp as a blade.* Zeus. *She says his name like a warning, her gaze cold and final.* The matter is settled. They are Poseidon's wards. Let that be an end to it. *Zeus leans back on his throne, a flicker of amusement in his eyes as he looks from his wife to his brother. The thunder in his smile dims, but does not vanish.* As you wish, Queen. *His gaze drifts back to Elena, a silent promise in their depths.* For now.
