22. Athena is weird

It was the next day and I was in my chambers. A nice room big enough to be called a house. Yesterday after sitting on my seat I continued to talk with my family about other matters such as the wellbeing of the people, using what they said to gage how far gone they were.

From what I could tell Zeus was by far the worst already having broken his wedding vow 7 times each time birthing a new Demi/god. Everyone else was still debauched but to a lesser degree mostly using wine and food to fill their emptiness. The women were of course better than the men at this but still extreme. They're not all bad though, such as Athena who was sitting across the table from me. It was just me and her in here since I had hoped to get to know my family better, after all I missed over a century of their lives, the entirety of my nieces and nephews lives.

Right now we were playing a board game, using some magic to make it like a holographic battle similar to the total war games in my past life it was pretty fun. Moving one of my armies into a narrow pass, trapping her soldiers into a narrow valley where once she moves forward I will bring my archers in to rain down arrows from the top. 

"But how! They were fighting my-" She says frustrated seeing her trump card get so easily squashed. The army I just blocked was supposed to flank me, she had sent in another earlier to distract my other forces but had forgotten that I could simply ignore them. 

"You let them sack your city!" She jumps out of her chair her mind confused by my strategy of ignoring her invading army. "Castles can be rebuilt. Lives cannot, pretty simple really." Standing up as well I wave away the hologram, knowing that she has already lost. 

"The Human resource is the most important. And each life must be used to its utmost efficiency whether it be a boy fetching water, a man throwing spears or a general leading his men to die, it should never be in vain." Her eyes were practically sparkling at this point, having never thought of using lives like this before. Pretty sad considering she was the god of war and strategy, then again the Humans are just now beginning to rebuild their civilization after I killed Cronus so its fair that her divinity would be underdeveloped considering it relies so heavily on the mortals themselves.

"It makes me kinda mad that you beat me, but considering your one of the big 3 it's to be expected." She says with a sigh in her voice like she felt this unfairness before. "The Big 3?" I ask wondering what she thought of the title for the three of us. 

"Well yeah, you, Poseidon, and Father since each of you rule an entire realm its a given that you would be better than us that only have domains, let alone the domain another god in the same pantheon has.." She says self depreciatingly obviously sad that Ares has the same divinity as her, him being born before her not helping.

To this I look at her with a sharpness in my eyes, If there was one thing I was sure of it was that domains were special, no matter what, and that no god should ever feel like their domain was worse than someone else's. She slightly jumps at my nearly angry face. 

"Did- did I say something wrong lord Hades?" A her lips nearly quiver and she suddenly looks quite cute. 

"No, nothing. But do you not like your domain? War is a pretty cool one you know." The war goddess only sighs and lazily lays on a couch on the balcony, her toned legs and beautiful body on display for me to see all too easily. But I try not to look at her like that, she's my niece after all. Pouring each of us a cup of ambrosia I come over as well handing her her cup and putting her legs on my lap as I sit with her. 

"You think your divinity isn't special? You think since Ares has a War divinity then yours must be exactly like his. That could not be further from the truth." I pause to take a sip of the ambrosia, its honey like flavor and magical properties making my body feel giddy with energy as I continue with my explanation.

"War is not a single thing. It is not a single event, not a single action or possible by a single person. War, is an amalgamation of beliefs, emotions, needs, wants and circumstances that inevitably lead to one side losing and the other winning. To put simply. SO...when you say that you have the same domain as another god, you are wrong. Your domain is precise, accurate and efficient war, that has a purpose, achieves a goal, a war worth fighting." Rubbing her legs and sending a delightful shiver up her spine I make fun of Ares.

"While his domain is big stick hit head fun." With a goofy voice I try to cheer her up, which seemed to work as she starts to laugh, just a little. "I don't know who told you otherwise, but you are special, unique and perfect just the way you are." A lovely smile graces her lips as she listens to my praise, although I've only known her for less than a day I could tell that she had some serious insecurities along with plenty of fears living with the other gods. So here I was trying my best to help her when suddenly her face becomes a little more naughty.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" She sat up looking me in the eyes as she set her ambrosia on the side table. Her eyes still on me she slowly crawled over until she was right next to me in a very sexy way, and in the next moment she was straddling my waist, her nose inches from my face and her skirt ridding up to show off her athletic thighs. I could feel her breath on my nose and her lips looked extremely delicious at this moment.

"Because it's working." She said as I sat there frozen for a second, utterly confused at what she was talking about. My body was also seemingly confused as I felt blood rush to my member so fast that I failed to control it completely. She let out a gasp as she felt my half dragon bump her.

A smile creeps up her face as if taunting me to do something. Slowly and with hardly contained eagerness she slowly started to grind her hips on my lap, trying to get an even better reaction from me. I was left speechless. This beautiful, sexy and smart Goddess was sitting on my lap nearly begging me to pounce on her. It took all my willpower to stop my hands from grabbing her hips and pushing her down on the sofa. 

Noticing my hesitation she grabs my hand and firmly plants it on her ass, and even through her skirt I can feel the softness of her flesh. So before things get out of hand I quickly stand up throwing her body on the couch.

"What the? Why'd you stop?" She says with a incredulous look on her face, as if she couldn't accept that I wouldn't have sex with her. 

Chugging all the ambrosia left in my glass I look at the Sexy war goddess, sitting on the couch, her hair tied in a ponytail, wearing simple chest armor(sexy) and a battle skirt that is slightly riding up to expose more of her milky smooth perfect thighs. With a heavy sigh regaining my wits I look at her with a skeptical light. 

"What in hells name was that Athena? Who do you take me for, Zeus?" I ask my voice laced heavily in sarcasm and a little bit of hostility. I had came here hoping to get to know the gods better, my family better, not to come and fuck them. 

"I saw the way you were looking at me, how your eyes drifted to my ass as I walked over to the couch, how you came over here and got so physical with me, it was all the signs of someone wanting to get intimate!" She nearly screams as she raises her voice to make her point. My palm hits my face with the speed of a jet due to how stupid I feel right now. 

"Those weren't meant to be seductive, it was supposed to be comforting. And although you are, as I said before beautiful and smart, I don't plan in sticking my dick in any of my family members anytime soon." Setting the cup on a table I simply stare at her face, a face full of confusion and a tint of... anger? 

"Well...well why didn't you just take me? It would have made my plan a lot easier, now I have to go find some foreign God to bed me, most of whom are fucking animals!" She said throwing her arms in the air like I was forcing her to go fuck some primal gods and deity's, to which I am utterly confuzzled.

"What the fuck are you talking about? Explain this plan right now before I drag you to the underworld and torture you for making me even imagine such a thing happening!" Appearing in front of her I grab her hands and pin them against the couch, her pert breasts being even more exposed as her arms squish them together, but I'm in no mood to appreciate them.

"Let me go Hades!" She squirmed in my grip but otherwise didn't actually struggle. "Not until you fucking explain what the hell your talking about." So we sit there in silence, for minutes. Her breath tickling my nose and her eyes look anywhere but at me. She was cute, was the only thing I could think until finally she decided to speak.

"W-When you showed up, I thought you might be like your brothers, Arrogant, greedy.. lustful... easily manipulated. But unlike them you were actually brave and kind, so... when we got some alone time I figured it would be a good idea to ensure that none of the other gods have any ideas about me. By convincing you to protect me, by having sex you would gain some sort of masculine possessiveness over me which would prevent Zeus or Poseidon from trying anything. T-that was the plan." She said with shame explaining how she thought of things. "Everything was going great until you started saying those sweet things to me! Now what am I going to do! It's only a matter of time before they come knocking at my chambers late at night!" Tears begin to well up in her eyes at the prospect of being forced by one of the other gods. She was decades old yet had the mental fortitude of a child, which made me realize that most of the others would be the same. Externally they would behave like well seasoned gods but underneath they were just kids still trying to figure out how to get through it.

"Y'know your plan would've worked if I wasn't set on not committing incest." Letting go of her arms she slowly calms down her heaving chest returning to its normal pace. 

"What does it matter if we're related? We're gods." She says with a scoff, as she stands up now completely normal. "We're family." I say to her causing her to pause. Grabbing her hand I look her in the eyes.

A/N(Do not expect many updates, I've become more busy and have started to wonder how it is people can write a whole chapter in a single day? Anyways please enjoy these two.)

"Before you were born, and before Zeus was king, I always made sure my sisters were safe, and now that I'm awake I don't plan on making an exception for my nieces. Okay?" Looking into her eyes until I feel like she finally understands. With a solemn nod I let go of her hand and move back to the table.

With the wave of my hand a hologram of land appears, with a Hud similar to a game called cities skylines from my old life. Calling Athena over who is seeming a lot more chill than before I introduce her to the wonders of city building. And for the next hours we play some strategy.

It wont be long before Angela creates her own city, and I plan on helping make it a pretty cool one.
