Chapter 4: Eternal Love - Part 3
Zeus: That god, so kill that god, he wants my throne - the paranoid god would scream sterically
Hades: How do you plan to make them Zeus?
Zeus would only look at his brother for his question and Hades, seeing that he was not understood, would explain better.
Hades: Kairo came to fracture reality itself and, not satisfied with that, he created and destroyed entire universes alone - He would explain things to his brother - Tell me Zeus, are you capable of that? The answer is no, not even using all your power plus the master lightning could you beat him, Kairo demonstrated multiversal power and you and all of Olympus as a whole, in the best of cases, were enough to destroy a universe. And we would have to use all the power of the pantheon to do it - The regent of the underworld finishes his explanation - So tell me Zeus, how do you plan to kill Kairo?
Leaving Zeus silent, because he knew it was true, he could not do anything against Kairo
Omega: Besides, it doesn't even exist in this universe. How are you going to kill someone who doesn't exist?
So Zeus calmed down just a little, but he was still afraid of losing his throne.
Omega: Now who wants to read?
Nico raised his hand, because he was curious about how the story continued?
So Omega gave the book to the son of Hades.
How to love eternally? - Final part
The gods were terrified as much as the mortals. They literally watched as the universe itself was fractured through cracks showing different versions of themselves.
Now that made the gods curious but also terrified. The power demonstrated by Kairo demonstrated the great difference between them and him, but they showed those realities
Poseidon at the bottom of the sea showed himself to be a true god, supposedly, according to what his counterpart said, a god is perfect without any exception, he does not trust or conspire, he is noble on all occasions. He partly understood that thought, but he realizes that in this version of himself he is very lonely and does not have Amphitrite. That thought caused pain in his heart, he loved his wife and he himself recognizes that he has many faults, such as his constant infidelities hurt her more than she deserves, so for himself and his love for his wife, he was going to change, it will take part of the thinking of its counterpart.
That left Poseidon thinking inside the room, it was true. How much has he hurt his wife? who always remains faithful to him. So, taking a sigh, he decided to change and stop infidelity to be worthy of his wife's love.
On the other hand, the other gods thought about what a god was and since they themselves failed in many things and made mistakes, they caused suffering to innocent people.
On the other hand, the demigods thought about how lonely that version of Poseidon had to be for that to be their thought.
Hades was shown a version of himself being unhappy in the Underworld and looking for ways to overthrow Zeus and his constant bitterness.
Actually that seemed interesting to him, first he is happy to be the regent of the Underworld, although should he go out more? He secludes himself too much perhaps...
Nah, he's fine, plus he was too sleepy to think about that. That's how he went to sleep
That made everyone sweat because they never expected that thought from Hades.
Hades had the same thoughts as his counterpart, he wanted to go to sleep.
Hestia was very affected, in front of her is a version of her being raped and murdered, all for not knowing how to defend herself, she does not like battles, but with this vision she recognizes that at least she has to be able to defend herself so that it does not happen to her. the same as its counterpart
¿Who are the damned ones who raped Aunt Hestia? - The goddess of the moon would ask furiously.
I want to kill them and burn them eternally - The twin of this would say
Now, I don't know the abusers, but it could be anyone, remember that they are infinite realities with infinite possibilities, so the abuser could be anyone, from a god, to a primordial - The host would respond
Hestia was just in shock, she never expected that, but she had a doubt.
Why did they do that to me? - Asks the heartbroken goddess of the home.
I don't know, maybe lust, revenge or just plain evil. Why would someone do something like that to anyone? But if you ask because you specifically, you are one of the most coveted goddesses in the divine world. That's why a suggestion learn from your other self and do the same
But I don't like violence - Hestia would say
Neither does your counterpart, but if you are left alone with a giant with no support and no way to escape, what will you do, Hestia? - Asks the host
Thus leaving Hestia silent, recognizing that it does not hurt to know how to defend oneself.
Thus successively each god saw different versions of themselves. Some with good endings, others with horrible endings and even possible partners for themselves. But the most interested was Athena
Temple of Athena
In the temple of the goddess she was studying the cracks, since they are knowledge that she can obtain, since the only entities with knowledge about the different realities are Vishnu and The presence, but both are difficult to contact. So I was going to make the best of it.
But, I was worried because these cracks are damaging the entire existence itself.
Annabeth: Wait, Vishnu? The presence?
Athena: Vishnu is the primordial of the Hindu pantheon, a being so powerful that even when asleep he creates and destroys universes...
Percy: ¿Who is The Presence?
Athena: I was already getting to that, The Presence is one of those who represent the biblical god...
Nico: Wait a minute, is God real? I mean he God is real
Athena: Yes and no, God is divided into two: The Presence, which is the creator of universes and father of angels, and there is Elohim, who is a being who calls himself God. They are two different entities but in the Bible they are considered one. Elohim is the god of the old testament, while presence is the god of the new testament. It's just that humans confused them
Zeus: And how do you know God? - 'Ask in a paranoid way
Thalia: I don't know. Maybe why the Christian religion is the largest in the world today?
Thus silencing Zeus and making a fool of himself so he could continue reading.
In one of the majestic rivers that surround Olympus, Kairo can be seen sitting and reflecting on his actions, when he heard someone approaching and by her presence he knew it was his mother.
Hera: Kairo...
Kairo: Mother... Are you going to scold me?
Hera: No... I just want to know why? What happened?
Kairo: I got angry mother and exploded...
Hera: But what made you explode?
Kairo: You know that I took care of a mortal and her daughter, right?
Hera: Yes Chloe and Eleni... Those were their names, right?
Kairo: Yes... Eleni has only been dead for a few months and Aphrodite took her image to try to seduce me.
Hera: I'm going to punish Aphrodite... But that's not all, right?
Kairo: No... I just vent my anger on her.
Hera: Why? What made you so angry?
Kairo: My own stupidity, mother... I love Eleni - Hera opened her eyes when she heard Kairo's words - But I never told her when I had the chance, because of the stupid idea that she didn't love me in the same way. What if? didn't he love me? That wasn't going to change my feelings for her, but I never told her, until it was too late.
In the end Kairo was crying from the pain of losing Eleni, because until today he had not been able to cry.
Instead Hera just hugged his son, trying to comfort him like when he was a little boy, who cried in his arms, because he had fallen and hurt himself.
The room was silent and no one dared to say anything because that was a moment as sad as it was beautiful between mother and son...
Persephone: Poor thing just wants to vent about the loss of her lover - The goddess of spring would say sad for her husband's son
Zeus: Which lover, did they never sleep? - The god of the infidels asks with doubt.
Aphrodite: Sex is not needed to be lovers, just that a union as deep and loving as that is more than enough to be considered lovers.
Hera: That relationship was the closest thing to a true marriage, something you will never understand Zeus.
Thus the god of lightning remained silent to avoid the fury of the goddesses.
1 hour later
Kairo was walking through Olympus to go to the mortal world and take care of Chloe, he had left her alone long enough. Well, not alone, he left her in the care of a neighbor, but it was time to go back.
But in the middle of his way someone called him
XXXX: Kairo, please wait
Kairo, looking for the origin of the voice, looked to his left where he could see Athena, goddess of wisdom.
Athena was a very beautiful woman and no one could deny that fact, she was 175 cm tall, had large double E cup breasts, perfect milky white skin, abundant straight black hair and gray eyes that conveyed wisdom and authority, for any other god. That look would be intimidating, but that look was interesting to him, because he grew up under the gaze of his father Hades.
Now everyone was curious because Athena stopped Kairo.
Poseidon: Poor guy got stuck with an insensitive...
Athena: Better than with an idiot like you...
But before a battle broke out Rea He stopped them because he didn't want unnecessary arguments.
On the other hand, the demigods were amazed by Athena's appearance, because no one could deny that she was extremely beautiful.
But when his gaze was shown, it left almost all of them paralyzed because they felt that they were being studied and scrutinized to the deepest essence of their soul.
Athena was amazed that someone was capable of maintaining her gaze in a divine form, even her father averted his gaze, but Kairo was only looking at her like any person, he understands because he was raised by Hades.
Kairo: Good Athena, to what do I owe this call?
Athena: I wanted to know what happened to you Kairo? I know you are a calm god, but to explode your power like that something had to have happened.
Kairo: That's something I don't want to talk about, Athena.
The look he gave her made Athena desist from asking again, she already observed Kairo's power and does not want that power against him.
Annabeth: Why do you ask that, mother?
Athena: If you heard correctly, my daughter, my other version already said it, Kairo is a calm and patient person, the fact that he has exploded as he did is not normal, that is why it is the doubt
Zoe: But that look he gave him reminds me a lot of the look of an angry Hades.
Persephone: How do you know the look of an angry Hades? 🤨
Zoe: I once accompanied my Lady to a meeting with Hades and he exploded in anger so much that that day he almost killed me because of his pure gaze.
Persephone: What happened that day so that you will explode in anger, my husband?
Hades: The death of a daughter of mine at the hands of some humans, who belonged to the hunt for Artemis.
Artemis: I still apologize for that man, she didn't deserve to die.
Hades: And I emphasize again that it is not your fault, niece, let's continue reading.
Athena: But are you okay?
Kairo only sighed and then responded.
Kairo: If you want the truth, I'm not fine, Atena, I'm not at my best.
Athena: If you need a friend, I'm here for you Kairo.
Kairo: Ha, I didn't know we were friends, Athena.
Athena: Maybe not now, but we can be, I mean I like you, it's just that we have never had the opportunity to meet.
That made Kairo think about what Athena said because it is true, they had not spoken one on one, until now.
Kairo: My name is Kairo, son of Hera and Hades.
Athena, upon realizing what Kairo is doing, could only smile and respond.
Athena: Nice to meet you Kairo, I am Athena, daughter of Metis and Zeus, I hope I can be your friend.
Thus an unusual but interesting friendship was born.
Afrodita: Fufufu...
Artemis: What are you laughing at, Aphrodite?
Aphrodite: It is not obvious that they are both in love, if they have a relationship it would be very interesting to see.
Athena: It's just a friendship, nothing more, stop inventing ideas Aphrodite.
Aphrodite: Oh dear, when that version of yours in history sleeps with Kairo, I'll tell you. I told you.
Athena: You will be...
When they were about to launch themselves at each other.
Apollo stopped Athena and Hephaestus stopped Aphrodite, to avoid a battle
Athena: Apollo let me go now - I would say seriously.
Apollo: Not until you control yourself, you better sit down, okay?
Athena would only give Apollo a threatening look, but he returned it with power, so Athena went to sit down, she remembered that Apollo, despite his attitude, is the third most powerful god of Olympus, only below Hestia and Hades.
Aphrodite: Hephaestus let me go now. The goddess of love would say indignantly
Hephaestus: Calm down first, don't explode unnecessarily.
Aphrodite: Fine but let me go.
Hephaestus: Okay
So Hephaestus alone approached Aphrodite and went to sit on his throne and when he settled down, Aphrodite sat on his legs.
Hephaestus: What are you doing? - The blacksmith god would ask
Aphrodite: Sitting down.
Hephaestus: Why do you sit on my lap and not on your throne?
Aphrodite: Because I want to and now, keep reading - The goddess would say blushing
With Chloe
Chloe: Dad left a week ago to visit his family, he said he didn't want to take me because it was too dangerous for me, that his family was crazy. She left me with my elderly neighbor Tenere, she is a very good person to me, but I still miss dad - Those were the girl's thoughts
The goddesses cooed at Chloe's thoughts.
Percy: None of you were bothered by what Kairo said?
Apollo: And why did he only tell the truth?
Hermes: Having a little girl on Olympus regardless of age is very dangerous
Dionisio: Why do you think the goddesses raise their children outside of Olympus Peter Johnson?
Percy: It's Percy Jackson, Mr. D
Dionisio: Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say, Pedro.
As Chloe finished that thought she heard someone knock on the door.
Chloe: I'm going.
When he opened the door he couldn't help but scream with joy, because his dad was here. So I jumped up and hugged him tight.
Kairo returns the hug, and kisses Chloe on the forehead.
Kairo: Daughter, how was this week for you?
Chloe: I was doing great, but now it's going to be even better.
Kairo: Well go and say goodbye to Tenere, let's go home.
Chloe: And...
8 years later
A 21 year old Chloe was sitting in front of Kairo having a very important talk.
Chloe: So... You're a God?
Cairo: Si...
Chloe: Why didn't you ever tell me before?
Kairo: Protect you... And prevent you from becoming arrogant with the belief of getting away with everything, because your father is a god.
Chloe: And you have to go?
Cairo: Si...
Chloe would just look at him sadly and ask the question.
Chloe: Why?
Kairo: As a god I cannot neglect my divine duties. But I did it, to take care of you all this time, but now I see a grown woman, my daughter of whom I am very proud.
Chloe would only cry at her father's words.
Chloe: Are you going to abandon me?
Kairo alone there was a miracle. Calmly and lovingly, grabbing her chin, he made her look into his eyes.
Kairo: I will never abandon you, I will always be taking care of you and protecting you, you understand.
Chloe just nodded.
Kairo: Chloe, let me tell you that I am proud of you, you became a beautiful woman like your mother, responsible, loving, fair, humble, but strong and proud. I leave you alone, because I am confident that you can live without me, but whenever you need me, pray that I can appear.
Chloe would cry and hug her father, to be able to convey all the love she feels for him. Kairo would only return the hug, also crying with sadness for having to abandon his daughter.
Aphrodite: How sad... I would say sobbing
Clarisse: But why could he take care of his daughter and you couldn't?
Athena: Very simple, that was before the law of distancing oneself from demigod children, and if you heard what Kairo said, he neglected his duties to take care of her, that is something we cannot do.
Nico: But what about me?
Hades: The laws of Olympus do not affect me, I reign in the Underworld, far from the laws of Zeus.
Zeus: But I am your king Hades
Hades: No... You are just an ally, not my ruler.
That angered Zeus, because he knows that what his brother said is true.
_4 years later _
Chloe was on the happiest day of her life, she was marrying the love of her life, Einio, a tall and strong farmer from working in the field. Dark skin and olive eyes
But something was missing and it was the presence of his father, one of the seats was reserved for him, but it seems that he did not attend.
To the south 1 km away
Hera: Why don't you attend the wedding my son?
Kairo: Because they don't need me, mother, and this is their special day.
Hera: And don't you think it would be more special if you were there...
Kairo: No, I'm already there, but they don't need me physically. I want to ask you please or mother.
Hera: Which one?
Kairo: Bless this union..
Hera: Sure, I will bless the union of my first granddaughter.
Kairo would only look at his mother with gratitude
Kairo: Thank you, mother.
Hera: You're welcome, son.
As Chloe nervously walks to the altar, she can feel someone touch her shoulder and reassure her.
Chloe would look at the sky
Chloe: Thank you... Dad
Aphrodite: That was very beautiful.
Hephaestus: You're right, it was very beautiful.
Ares: Bah was boring, there was no blood, no sex or battles, how boring
Aphrodite stared at Ares, wondering what he saw in the
Hera: Ares, shut up or I'll shut you up.
Ares would only remain silent because of his mother's threat.
Thalia: How strange he accepts Chloe as his granddaughter, I thought he despised mortals.
Hera: I do not despise mortals or demigods in general, what I despise is how many demigods are born from infidelities. If it doesn't explain why he never attacked the children of Athena, Apollo, Hermes etc...
That left the demigods silent, because they were right, she never attacked any other demigod that did not come from her husband.
40 years later
At the age of 65, living longer than the average, Chloe was happy, she had a good life, loving and protective parents, a faithful husband and good man and spectacular children, but she knew that her time had come.
When you feel a powerful and heavy presence. He could only smile
Cloe: Dad...
Kairo: How did you know it was me? - I would ask fun
Chloe: Because even changing your aura, it still protects me.
Kairo: I'm a horrible actor
Chloe: Yes, very bad.
Kairo remains silent, because he doesn't know how to continue the conversation.
Chloe: I've had my time, right?
Kairo: Yes... How do you feel?
Chloe: Good, because I know that even after I die, I will continue to be protected by you, dad.
Kairo: Are you ready?
Chloe: Yes, let's go.
Thus at the age of 65 Chloe dies
Nobody had words to say something, rather they didn't come out, but they still haven't finished reading
Campos Elysium
The Elysium fields were a paradise for souls, they were a plain full of vegetation, with ruins at the bottom of a castle, where peace and tranquility reigned.
In those fields you can see Eleni sitting enjoying the sun, when she feels someone touch her shoulder
So turning around he can't help but cry, because there was his daughter Chloe.
Both women hugged each other while crying with happiness at meeting again.
Eleni: How are you Chloe?
Chloe: I'm fine mom, I'm happy to see you again.
Eleni: Me too Chloe, tell me what your life was like.
Chloe: Well...
In the ruins at the highest part you can see two male figures, Hades and Kairo.
Hades: You're okay, why don't you come closer?
Kairo: Because they don't need me, Father they are already together and I don't want to get into their lives anymore.
Hades: But that doesn't answer my first question - When Hades finished speaking he turned to see his son crying.
Kairo: No... I'm not fine, my heart hurts like you can't imagine, I feel like they're killing me. Why did I approach them? Why do I take care of them? Why did I love them? If I knew I was going to end up hurt, it wouldn't have been better to never have met them.
Hades would hug his son, giving him comfort as a son who was suffering.
Hades: Because you are better than us son, you are an advance for the gods, that despite having everything, we have nothing and we are unhappy, but you, on the other hand, know what it is to love and hate, win and lose, laugh and cry. And that makes you my only son
Kairo: But it hurts, it hurts a lot, dad.
Kairo would only finish shedding tears being comforted by his father
Poseidon: I never expected that side of you Hades...
Hades: There are many things you don't know about my Poseidon.
Poseidon: Right... I have to try to talk to you more often.
Hades would raise his shoulders, implying that he can do whatever he wants.
1 day later.
Hera and Hades were talking in the latter's castle about how to deal with Kairo's sadness, when he passed the study door and looked determined.
Kairo: Are you both here? Well that way I don't repeat myself.
Hera: What do you want to talk about, my son?
Cairo: *Sigh* I... I'm leaving mother
That surprised both of them.
Hades: How are you leaving?
Kairo: I... I have to go father, the death of Chloe and Eleni... left a deep wound in me and I don't know how to heal it, that's why I want to travel
Hera: But where?
Kairo: As you well remember, almost half a century ago, I fractured the universe. Well, I was secretly practicing that skill and I have perfected it. So I will take a trip through reality..
Hades: Is it really necessary?
Kairo: I don't know... but despite that, I want to do it, go out, explore and learn the wonders that each dimension can offer.
Hades and Hera could only remain silent, what could they say to that.
Hera: Fine... But promise me you'll come back.
Kairo: I promise to become a mother, I would never abandon either of them
Hades signs for what his son wants to do, but he knew this was necessary, so he also wishes him luck on his journey.
Kairo: Before I leave, mother, say goodbye to Athena for me and tell her that when she returns I will give her a gift.
Hera: Sure...
Kairo: If that's all, I'll say goodbye.
Kairo leaves the studio to go on his trip
Percy: Ok, but what the fuck?
Hestia: Language
Percy: Sorry, but you have to accept that it's very broken.
That left the gods silent because the demigod was right.
