Sarah's Dream
A beautiful women entered the throne room holding a bundle.
She has long dark hair that cascaded down her back in natural waves, enchanting onlookers. Her shining brown eyes sparkled as she cooed down into the bundle she was holding.
Wait that wasn't a bundle that was a BABY!!
The eleven intimidating figures seated around the spotless marble table immediately drew silent as the woman walked closer to them, head held high. The dawning realization of the baby in her hands ensured that the attention remained on the woman.
While most of the figures murmured among one another, the center figure, seemingly the head of the table seemed filled with a rare kind of confusion.
"ARTEMIS!" he bellowed, glaring at the girl. " WHAT IS THE MEANING OF TH-"
He was cut off by the young women shushing him and pointing towards the baby. The baby was asleep.
The women, Artemis apparently, gently placed the baby in the arms of a pink figure murmuring a small take care of her.
Gracefully stepping forward to face the council, Artemis used words and gestures to express the heights of her feelings towards her daughter and mortal lover. She used passionate expressions to describe the emptiness in her heart and the sadness in her head that overflowed for the longest time, making her seek blood and death and escape. Thus the hunters were born. Young girls who needed an escape from the same sadness she struggled with. She spun clothes of the marvelous love her mortal lover had showered her with and clothed the others with them, all while they gazed transfixed. The way she talked, anyone would have thought she was blessed with the gift of art with words. Her twin brother and bosom best friend smiled slyly in the corner, admiring how well she used the powers he'd lent her.
By the time she was done almost everyone was satisfied. Except her father, Zeus.
he glared ," should the father of the child be to blame?"
Ever so stubbornly Artemis glared back, " Father I love you. But you shall not even think about harming my daughter or her father. I love both of them more."
Her stubborn reply opened the eyes of her father.He had never seen his baby girl this happy since the time of Orion.
"I apologize Artemis. I didn't realize how much this means to you. May I see your daughter?'
There were gasps heard from around the room but neither of them paid any heed to them
Artemis gently cradled her daughter before placing her in Zeus's arms.
"Her name is Aricia, for she is a Princess. My princess."
Zeus gently held her closer. There was something about this girl. She was special. He could feel it. Her black hair gently cascaded towards her shoulders, much like her mothers. Her hands, tiny and delicate, fastened themselves around Zeus's single finger as though looking for comfort and happiness. Her eyes were closed but Zeus could feel the power radiating from her. Her lovely pale skin had few golden streaks on them. Maybe inheritance from her uncle Apollo who was by Zeus's side staring in awe at the girl, much like the God King himself.
The remainder gods and Goddesses also crowded around the girl, anxious to see what had silenced the King of Gods.
"Father" murmured Apollo," There is something about her, though I cant place my finger on it. She deserves a gift father. One from each of us. It will help her in her future. I have seen it."
The Gods and goddesses formed a circle around the baby, each anxious to bless her for she had won over each of their hearts in the short span of time.
"I, Zeus, King of Gods and the Lord of the Sky, grant you control over the weather and the winds." An electric blue beam shot out
"I,Hera, Queen of the Gods and Goddess of Marriage , give you a special bond with your loved ones." Golden rays of light shot out
"I, Poseidon, God of the Sea and EarthQuakes , give you the power to communicate with horses and heal when in water." Sea green light shot out.
"I. Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, Beauty and Relationships bless you with natural beauty and the ability to charm speak." Hot pink light shot out.
"I, Apollo. God of The sun , Music , Healing and pure awesomeness," Zeus coughed. " Grant you excellence with musical instruments and control over light."Yellow beams shot out
"I, Ares. God of War, grant you the skill of having the upper hand in a battle." Blood red light shot out.
"I, Athena, Goddess of Knowledge and Battle Strategy grant you wisdom and scientific curiosity." Gray mist shot out.
"I, Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest, grant you the power to make plants obey your command." Green light shot out.
"I, Hephaestus, God of the fire and the Forge grant you control over fire and an excellent mind concerning mechanical issues." Flames shot out.
"I, Hermes, God of Messages, Thievery and Trickery grant you the power to thieve without anyones notice."
"I. Dionysus, God of Wine, grant you the ability to organize amazing parties and almost never get drunk." Purple sparks shot out. Artemis glared at him. She hated the drunken brat but he apparently liked her daughter enough to wake up from his never ending mixture of slumber and hangovers.
"Brother if I may?" came a questioning , timid voice from the corner.
The Olympians turned to face Hestia who looked embarrassed. Her pale, soft cheeks tainted red but her eyes held a flame of determination. Comforting yet unnerving. Slowly the Olympians made way for their elder sister to bless the child.
"I, Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth grant you the power to comfort , revive hope and conjure food."
Artemis smiled, satisfied to see how her family easily accepted her daughter.
Following the unexpected blessing each of the Gods and Goddesses had a chance to play with Aricia. The throne room was a mixture of clouds , blueprints, food, torn leaves, threatening shades of lipstick, armors, and hundred of stolen wallets( oh those poor unsuspecting New Yorkers were gonna have a tough time paying bills later)
After a few hours of playing with the child, Artemis announced ," Its time for Aricia to head home to her father. He must miss her already."
Few groans and grumbles were heard. Artemis was surprised to see how much her family loved Aricia . Especially her brother Apollo and her father, Zeus.
Apollo gave wet kisses to Aricia, all over her face as she giggled and tried to catch his glowing blonde hair.
Her brown eyes seemed to capture everyone's attention and due to Athena's gift the young one was already forming sentences.
Sighing, Zeus handed to baby to Artemis allowing her to flash home but not before making her swear on the river Styx that she would bring her back another day.
