Old story of gods

Goddess

She couldn't believe it. She was on Mount Olympus, and She will become one of the twelve most powerful gods and goddesses, thirteen now if She Includes herself. She has so many questions that She wants to ask them, like what was it like to be inside their father's stomach, or on how Athena managed to beat Ares, and why Zeus is so love- crazed by women even though he has the beautiful Hera as his wife? On second thought, she decided not to ask these questions in front of Hera, or Ares. Just as she is lost in thought she hears a voice- "excuse me lady ρόδ", says one of the guards of the throne room, "but could you please enter so I can formally introduce you and go back to guarding please.", realizing She was staring into space daydreaming She became flustered as a kid caught red handed "oh, o-of course sorry.", She managed to stammer out "not a problem.", replies the guard. As he opens the bronze and gold door She sees for the first time all twelve gods and goddesses in the throne room, She is too stunned to move until the guard formally introduces her and snaps her out of her stupor. "entering ρόδο goddess of φυτά (plants) and διάλυμα (solutions)", after saying that the guard having done his job left closing the doors behind him. After marveling over how beautiful everyone was She quickly took a large step forward and knelt to one knee at the center of the throne room and said the words She had prepared and practiced for weeks. "I am grateful to be in everyone's presence today." She noticed that everyone has a confident strong aura around them, and She wondered if She too will have an aura like that someday. Zeus laughs as loud as thunder and says "Rise ρόδο for you are one of us now, no need to be so formal. After all you were chosen by the gray sisters to become the thirteenth Olympian." She takes her knee off the ground and stands at full height. She then says "It is truly an honor." She really hoped She did not sound too boastful just then.

Hera is next to speak to her. "I propose a feast in the honor of the new goddess ρόδο." The gods all agreed on it and started to prepare when the guard that helped ρόδο earlier burst into the room. "What is the meaning of this?" Zeus thundered, for he liked not only peace in Olympus but also a good party. "Forgive Me But The Ambrosia Tree Is Dying!" the guard yells all in one breath. Everything that happened next was a truly wonderful sight, Zeus turned pale as white as the clouds in the country. Hera screamed. Ares roared. Poseidon started muttering as he sat down "It cannot be."

Demeter started screaming for Persephone who was nowhere to be found. Apollo started worrying who would drive the sun after he was gone and if they would take care of the horses And cows. Artemis started sobbing into her brother Apollo's shoulder in shock and fear. Aphrodite screeched for a mirror to make sure she wasn't hideous because of no more nectar. Hephaestus started to worry about all his unfinished work in the blacksmith's shop. Hermes wondered if he could somehow survive without the nectar and maybe eat one of Apollo's cows again. Hestia worried that the family would all die. Athena was trying to calm everyone down, and ρόδο started wondering if she would turn back to a human being or just die.

This crazy scene carried on for one whole hour and ρόδο has to admit after getting over shock the last minute was pretty funny to watch, when Zeus finally came to his senses he saw what was unfolding and bellowed "ENOUGH!" As quick as the panic had started it had vanished. Athena says,"Let us consult the prophecies (AKA: the gray sisters) they will know what to do. Hermes go ask them and come back quick, we may not have much time!" "On it!" Hermes replies already halfway out the door. When he arrived at the underworld's river, the three witches spoke. "Lady ρόδο will save the tree, just wait and see HeE HEe *cough cough* hee.", the three say before Hermes could even speak. With those words Hermes sped back through the clouds to Olympus and straight into the throne room "SPEAK", Hera demanded. Hermes points at ρόδο and says "She will save the tree, not sure how though", a silence fills the throne room "Well you heard him fix that tree. We will wait here, now go before I start to look like you!" Aphrodite yells. (p.s could not find where the Ambrosia tree was located so I put a garden in Olympus and a plant room to make this story please do not hate thank you.) So ρόδο ran off to find the tree, not knowing what she could do to save it. As ρόδο was walking to the tree She heard voices coming from an abandoned room. Looking into the room she saw plants wailing. ρόδο was hoping that She had found her destination, so she went inside. Although the room did not hold the tree, it held something better, the solution. The plants were covered in bugs and disease, also thirsty from lack of water. Their situation made her heart break, so she quickly tended to their needs all the while humming the plant's requested lullaby. Once they were all asleep, she walked into the throne room once again and asked "quick question, do any of you take care of the tree?", They all looked at one another and hoped at least one of them had but no one spoke up. So ρόδο quickly got some blessed soil, water, and proper gardening clothes and got to work on the tree. After a few hours of hard work, She had finished. "There, now would you like me to hum you a song?" ρόδο asked to the tree.

"..." the tree replies. "Well what song then?", ρόδο replyed. "..." the tree says. "Excellent choice." and then ρόδο started to hum.

The end

This story is not accurate on Greek mythology this is my own personal version of a myth so if something is not right about the story. So be it.
