23 Story Time and Havoc in Olympus

All of the people, bar Death, of course, were shocked at what he said. Zoe Nightshade or Zoe Morningstar was the most shocked of them all. All her life, the only parents she knew were the tyrannical father Atlas and her mother Hesperis.

She looked adamant at believing his words but felt a connection to him that felt quite uncanny to her being. Zoe shook her head in disbelief and said, "What are thou talking about!? My father is Atlas, the Titan of Endurance! Thou are not my father!"

Lucifer smiled sadly at her and procured a picture of himself and Hera and showed it to her. He knew that Zoe will have a hard time believing this so he just decided to show her an uncanny picture of him and her real mother.

When Zoe looked at the picture, she saw Lady Hera beside the man in front of her and couldn't believe that this man was insinuating that her mother was Hera. She then looked closer at the picture and saw Hera having a huge bulge on her stomach and couldn't believe it.

When Zoe was done inspecting the picture, she then saw a mirror floating beside it showing her face. She then kept looking back at the picture and the mirror and saw the resemblance.

The people around them looked at the picture Lucifer was showing and felt amazed seeing Hera having a happy look appear on her face. When they looked even closer to the picture, they noticed that she did have a bulge on her stomach and her features and Zoe's had quite a resemblance.

Zoe then looked back at the crying face of Lucifer and shakingly said, "Are thou really my father?"

Lucifer nodded at her sadly and whispered a, "Yes."

Zoe then looked quite angry at him and furiously said, "Then where was thou!? Why did thy leave me at the hands of Atlas!?"

The other people looked quite awkward at the drama going on in the room but didn't want to leave as this was very interesting and wanted to know the mysterious story that was going on. When Lucifer showed a picture of Hera and him, they knew that this story was going to be really interesting and that it was very juicy.

Dionysus and Chiron were one of the people that were the most eager to hear the story as they weren't there to witness it. Dionysus now looked more alert than he regularly was and Chiron looked like his ears were twitching.

Seeing their faces, Lucifer let out a tired sigh and made all of them sit on the chairs, and to those who don't have one, he made them one. When all of them were finally seated, Lucifer looked at them with a very tired look on his face and sighed again.

He then looked at the furious Zoe and said, "I know I screwed up a lot and this was one of the biggest but this wasn't intentional. Hera and I were very eager to have you and we loved you very much. I didn't willingly give you to Atlas or anything like that Zoe. Just know that when I left, Hera told all of us that you were miscarried and that made it more of a reason to never come back."

Zoe looked even more interested in the story so she made a gesture of a go-on motion. Seeing her do that, Lucifer continued, "Before I start with how your mother and I had a fallout, I want to first address Hestia and I's fallout."

Now the room was even more interested. Since Dionysus wasn't in the throne room at the time Hestia admitted her reason to cheat on him, he now looked even more eager to listen. Chiron, on the other hand, didn't look quite as eager as Dionysus but still looked pretty eager.

Percy and Annabeth felt very, very, very curious as their teacher's always mentioned this topic but never told them about it. While the other campers looked curious but not to the extent of Percy and Annabeth's. And Thalia seemed to be missing in the group of demigods.

Seeing their eager faces, Lucifer chuckled a little and continued, "When Hera was pregnant with you, Hestia and I were recently married and after marrying her, I kind of neglected her in favor of you and Hera. When I realized this fact, I quickly went back to her temple to spend more time with her. But when I arrived, I saw Hestia there naked, lying on the bed with Helios, and was heatedly making out with him, telling him that he was much better than me."

The crowd looked quite shocked at his words and couldn't quite believe the kind and caring Hestia to do to him. The hunters kept denying his words in their minds and didn't want to believe a single word that came out of his mouth.

Zoe was more shocked than the others but she still quickly motioned him to go on as she was curious about what was going to happen next. Lucifer chuckled at his daughter's gestures and obliged, "When I started beating down Helios, Hestia still had the gall to defend him and not giving any reason for why she did that. I couldn't take it anymore so I went back to your mother. While I was there, I was such a wreck that your mother was having a problem with me around."

Now the people in the room felt that this is where Hestia was in the wrong. They still couldn't that Hestia did that to him but still listened to the story. While the campers and the hunters were skeptical of the story, Annabeth, Percy, Dionysus, and Chiron knew that it was all real.

Seeing the disbelief clearly written on their face, Lucifer just chuckled as he didn't care about their opinion and still continued, "When I came back to Hestia, the first thing I did was to break up with her and stay with your mother. But still, it didn't go well for both of us. Putting a hormonal pregnant goddess with a wrecked up Devil was the worst combination in history. During my stay with Hera, we had a big fight. And that led her to Zeus."

Zoe's disbelief was now at it's best and she couldn't believe that her mother or Hera would do that. Lucifer quickly continued as he could see the angry look that was forming on his daughter's face, "Hera didn't like what I was doing while I was with her and that I was 'neglecting' her too. It seemed to me that she perfectly knew what I was going through but still couldn't leave me alone and sulk. With me out of the picture, her being too horny, we weren't married, and she was just 3 months with you, Zeus felt like it was the perfect time to strike."

Now all the people knew why Hera ended up with Zeus. He was being very sneaky and 'raped' her like in the legends. Lucifer knew what they were thinking so he immediately rebuked them, "It wasn't ****. It was consensual sex. She agreed to it. While I was sulking and being a wreck for two months, Zeus and Hera were at it even when her bump was getting even bigger already. I was kind of angry that I was cuckold at that time so I left you and her for a few months or even weeks to cool off. But when I came back and they all said that you were miscarried, I left, for good. Until I unexpectedly came back here with my wife, Death. And that's what happened. I would like to give the story a little more detail but it seems that you guys were having such an important meeting."

Many of the people in the room wanted him to continue but felt like they couldn't say it as they knew what he said was right. They did have a meeting to go back to and a very important one at that.

The people that weren't close to Lucifer immediately went back to what they were doing while the others came to him and patted him on the shoulders sadly or tried to comfort him by hugging him. Even Dionysus came to him and said, "I feel sorry for you Lord Lucifer, you shouldn't have gone through all that. Most people would have gone insane from that experience."

Lucifer smiled at Dionysus' effort in comforting him but still turned back to his daughter. Seeing him look at her, Zoe felt like she was going to cry and didn't know what to do or to say! Lucifer just chuckled at her and walked over to her and hugged her tightly.

Lucifer then whispered in her ear, "I always wanted to see what you looked like. Every night after I found out that you 'died', I always thought about how you would have your mother's eyes, my blonde hair, or even my eyes! But it seems that you the only thing that you got from me was my eyes and a part of my face."

After Lucifer said that, Zoe started tearing up and cried on his chest. She then said, "I always wanted a kind and loving father. Even when I was with Atlas, he didn't seem to care much about me. He always treated me like I didn't belong with them and now I know why."

The two then continued talking and exchanging stories on what happened so far in their lives while Percy, Annabeth, Chiron, and Death looked at them fondly. You might have wondered why Death isn't mad at Lucifer or even Zoe. While Lucifer was telling what happened to him and why he left, he was also talking to Death telepathically and sorted things out with her.

After his heart to heart talk with Zoe, he slowly walked over to Death with Zoe by his side and started introducing the two. Death was more enthusiastic than Zoe because she knew that she will be treating the child as her own while Zoe was skeptical of having a new mother.

Lucifer then left the two to talk it out and walked over to Chiron and Dionysus and seriously said, "Chiron, Daniel, I'm going to go somewhere for a while. I expect that you take care of the kids while I'm away. Don't let them start the quest if I'm still gone or the two of you are going to have a taste on one of my special tortures," and both of them quickly nodded in fear while Dionysus had an annoyed look in his eyes.

He then proceeded to walk towards Percy and Annabeth and stopped when he was in front of them, "You two are going to help Zoe and Death socialize to each other okay? I don't want my wife and daughter to quarrel when I'm gone and-," and stopped mid-speech when he saw Percy point towards the laughing Zoe and Death.

Lucifer sweatdropped on how close the two were already but shrugged it off as their connection being a family already. Unknown to him, they were laughing because they were talking about him behind his back. He then looked back at his students and jokingly said, "Well it seems that you're no use to me while I'm gone now," and received glares from both Annabeth and Percy.

Lucifer walked towards his mother and daughter duo after saying those words and said to them, "Guys, I'm going to go somewhere for a while. It's just going to take a few hours and we can bond after that. Daddy is just going to take care of a few problems," and menacingly said the last sentence.

Death and Zoe just looked back at Lucifer with an 'Okay' look and went back to talking. Seeing how they dismissed him, Lucifer looked at both of them pitifully and whimpered, which looked pretty weird to all the people there bar Death and Zoe due to Lucifer being the Devil.

When they saw his look, Death quickly sighed and gave Lucifer a quick peck on the lips while Zoe felt a little wronged when she saw his pitiful look. When she couldn't take it anymore, Zoe just huffed, crossed her arms, and pecked Lucifer on the cheeks, getting a loud cheer from him.

After savoring the feeling of Zoe kissing his cheek, Lucifer quickly pecked Death on the lips and kissed Zoe on the forehead and quickly flew out of the Big House or else Zoe will start to rampage on him due to her still being a hunter.

After Lucifer flew out of the house, he heard an angry loud roar behind him and couldn't help but laugh a little and thought, 'It seems to me that she still has that "I hate all men" kind of thing.'

He then turned serious and focused all his attention on flying to Olympus with his bat-like wings and turned angrier and angrier by the second when he thought of Zoe still being alive and he had been lied to.

After a few seconds, Lucifer finally arrived at the entrance of Olympus and released his full aura with his blue Hellfire surrounding him. He then slowly walked towards the throne room menacingly and his blood-red eyes were covered by his bangs but could still be seen due to them glowing. His bat-like wings were still out and about and it added the scariness to the picture.

When many of the minor gods, nymphs, and what looked like people to him stay away from Lucifer due to the heat he was producing and the terrifying image he was showing right now. Not caring what the people around him felt, Lucifer continued on striding towards the throne room in a menacing manner.

When Lucifer finally arrived at the door of the throne room, he quickly kicked it down and icily glared at the gods. When the gods saw that it was Lucifer who arrived, they felt kind of relieved, after thinking that it was an enemy who arrived. But when they saw how angry he was, they felt like they wanted that enemy right about now.

Lucifer then quickly grew in height and were now towering over them a little and was now the size of a titan and calmly said, "Why did you do it?" His calm voice scared the Hell out of them as they preferred his angry voice because of the calm voice and the terrifying image made it even more horrifying to them.

Seeing that there were a few people missing, Lucifer quickly snapped his fingers and made Hades, Poseidon, and Hestia appear in the room. After noticing that Hestia and Hades having no seats, he quickly made them for each of them and telekinetically made them sit. He stopped Hestia's punishment for now as he wanted to know who lied to him first.

When all of the 'Elder Gods' were present now, Lucifer repeated his sentence, not caring that some of the younger Olympians were there too. All of them were pretty much confused on why Lucifer was asking that so Poseidon asked, "What do you mean by that, Lucy?"

Lucifer's Hellfire now broke the ceiling on how large it was now and he was now taking his 'Devil Form'. He then angrily shouted, "WHO HID LITTLE ZOE AWAY FROM ME!?!?!? WHOOO LIEEEEDDDD!!!!!"

At his words, all the elder gods looked shocked while the younger ones felt confused about who 'little Zoe' was. Hera covered her mouth and whispered, "She's alive?"

Lucifer turned towards her and shouted angrily, "Of course she's alive you dimwitted fool!! Why would I be here if she wasn't!?! NOW WHO TOOK HER!?!"

Hera couldn't answer his question as she was just the same as him, she didn't know that she was alive. Lucifer then scanned the room and tried to find who it was that lied to him but couldn't find anything from the minds of the elder gods as it was blank from shock.

Lucifer then calmly said, "All of you know that I don't like people who lie. So just spit it out already or what I'm going to do to you will be much worse!"

After a few minutes, Lucifer finally heard a voice, but he didn't expect them to be two of them. He then turned towards where the voice originated and felt that the first person was believable while the second was downright impossible! He looked at the second person in shock and said, "What?"
