Preparations

During the time I spent training individually, I learnt a number of things. I learnt that I had the power to manipulate people, which felt like a shameful power and even more shameful, I could curse others and objects.

Luckily when I was practicing my abilities , it was on animals and never in front of my family. This meant they did not know. You can never be hurt by what you do not know. So, I kept my powers to myself so as not to hurt them with the knowledge they had a tainted sister. I tainted sister that was me.

Every once in a while we would go outside individual training and duel each other. However it was mainly our brothers. Through these duels we learnt different fighting styles from each other, we learnt each others fighting style , we learnt that we could hurt each other, and we even learnt that our blood was golden. However, we healed exceptionally fast.

One night when, Zeus and Poseidon called us to watch their duel by the beach. We arrived the location and Demeter formed comfortable chairs for us, the spectators to recline in as we watched the duel. Hades chose to stand to the side as he watched.

It began with the two silently circling each other as they sized each other up. Suddenly , Poseidon jumped forward, his fist at the ready and a large wave of water from the sea following the path of his fist.

Zeus ducked to dodge Poseidon's physical fist, however the wave that was following Poseidon's fist did not relent and went down as Zeus ducked. The wave hit Zeus. Pah!

The impact sounded just like a solid punch and by the looks of the golden fluid dripping from his nose, it was just as heavy as a normal punch.

Zeus reeled back momentarily, but Poseidon continued moving towards him, he raised his leg to kick, but Zeus grabbed his leg and tossed him to the side with a grunt.

Poseidon flipped and landed on the sandy shores with his left knee to the ground, his right leg inclined on the floor and his left hand holding his curved body up. He looked like he was ready to pounce at any moment.

Zeus did not allow for that to happen because he charged forward, with his fist raised to deliver a blow at his lowered opponent. However, Poseidon just suited his weight from his left leg to his right leg and swept his left leg under Zeus.

Thud! Zeus was on his face. Poseidon raised his left leg to drill it into Zeus' back.

However , before the blow could land lightning shot down from the heavens and encased Poseidon's body completely. Zeus began to drag himself from the ground as the lightning relentlessly continued to flow down and hit Poseidon.

When Zeus was standing. He looked down at Poseidon and raised his fist again. This time the blow hit Poseidon square on the skull. Crack! The lightning stopped and Zeus raised his fist ready to deliver another blow.

Poseidon remained in his position for a few seconds and Zeus, not seeing him falling g allowed his fist to begin falling at the skull that was now owing golden fluid.

However, before the fist could land, sharp spears of water drilled onto Zeus' arm mercilessly leaving three large holes in his arm. Golden fluid gushed out of each hole and showered Poseidon's head with it.

Zeus allowed a heavy groan to escape his lips and he took a fee steps away from Poseidon. Slowly, Poseidon raised himself, his eyes were sharp. Golden liquid rolled down his face and dripped from his chin.

He looked very daunting. Zeus did not back away at the cold eyes staring him down, but gave his own cold look. Honestly, I thought they looked scary.

Both Zeus and Poseidon raised their fists. Dark water encased Poseidon's arm and lightning encased Zeus' arm. With loud cried the two charged at each other. Both bearing heavy injuries. They were about to deliver the fatal blows...

" Oi, we're back!" Proclaimed an energetic voice.

Zeus and Poseidon stopped mid punch and turned towards the sound of the voice. It was our uncles! All of them! Each had something that pulsed energy covered delicately in golden cloths.

A broad grin decorated Zeus' face and he turned to Hestia. " Sister, heal us. We can heal ourselves, but there is not enough time. Hurry woman." Zeus demanded.

Hestia looked him up and down. " Brother, I will warn you once. I am not your servant, nor am I your slave. I will not tolerate crude remarks or demands towards my sisters or most importantly myself. Know your place LITTLE brother. " Hestia paused for emphasis and looked at Zeus calmly, " So what do you want from me LITTLE brother?"

Zeus eyes sparked with anger, " Sister, I request that you heal us." Zeus said through gritted teeth.

Hestia glanced at our approaching uncles, looked at Zeus who was now clenching his fists along with Poseidon , who was behind him. She daintily arose and swept her hand over the two. In an instant, they were healed.

Seeing that they were healed. Zeus and Poseidon turned to face our uncles who had reached us, without even thanking Hestia. Hades, who was silently standing on the side approached Hestia and whispered a thank you on behalf of his younger brothers.

" Have you gotten weapons for us?" Zeus asked immediately, skipping the greetings and going straight to the point.

" He, he, he, we sis even better, we made the weapons! And they are glorious! They are saving! They ate godly!" The tall cyclops said with a grin. All the cyclopses and Hecatoncheires were also grinning.

One by one, our uncles approached us. One uncle before every one of us.Our uncles carefully unravelled the golden cloths at once.

Before me, I saw a beautiful sword that dazzled in the darkness. The blade seemed to carry dazzling stars and the hilt was as blue as the morning sky. The sword pulsed radiantly.

The Hecatoncheir before me looked at me keenly and spoke softly, as she extended the sword towards me , " Her name is Stella, may your hopes always sparkle like the starts in the heaven." I smiled and took the sword.

Beside me, Hestia was presented with a golden lasso. Its threads were intricately woven and shone magnificently.

The Hecatoncheir before her spoke confidently as she extended the Lasso towards Hestia, " I named her Veritas, may the truth always be known to you with her." With those words Hestia took the lasso, with a graceful smile.

Besides Hestia, Demeter was presented with a strange weapon that was phasing between a sword and a sickle. The hilt was covered in lush vines that were intertwined , while the blade as gold as fertile soil.

The Hecatoncheir before her slowly spoke with a warm smile, " Her name is Terrae. May she provide you solid support through all your challenges."

The cyclops before Hades presented a weapon that resembled a pitchfork. It was obsidian in colour and like all the other weapons, it was emitting a divine glow.

" This weapon's name is Tenebris. May it be of use in all your battles." Hades looked at the weapon, nodded calmly and took the weapon.

Next to Hades, Poseidon was being presented with a sea blue trident. It looked like the weapon was carrying the waves of the sea.

" The weapon is called Mare. It is as strong as the most violent waves of the sea." Poseidon grinned and grabbed the weapon.

The last born Zeus got an extraordinary weapon. It was shaped like lighting bolts. Electricity pulsed out of the weapon.

The cyclops presenting the weapon grinned. " This is Fulgur. We cyclopses made it together, so you'd better use it well." Zeus smiled and took the weapon.

Now we all had we all had weapons. We were all ready to face our father . Face him and win!
