Family Loyalties Part 2
Brianna stood there looking around at the many plants and flowers she sat down on a
bench that was beside a small pond and looked at her reflection in the water as she sat
there thinking another memory came to her. This time it was one of her with Ares as he
was taking care of her while Hera and Zeus were arguing once again about Hercules.
When she opened her eyes Hera was standing beside her. "You look like you were deep in
thought, I hope I'm not distrubing you. Brianna, I know you're scared and I also know that
you are confused but trust me no one and I mean no one is going to hurt you." Hera looked
deep into Brianna's eyes as if comforting her. Brianna looked at Hera then replied "You
weren't distrubing me,I was just remembering something from when I was a baby." Hera
smiled as she realized that she must have been remebering something about Ares.
Brianna, inside you will find approiate clothing, I think you should go and put them on
remember you are not in the 20th centuary anymore but back in your own time." Brianna
not wanting to anger this almighty queen of the gods nodded her head " I suppose you are
right, I'm sorry I do not mean to show any disrespect towards you after all you did save my
life. I have a question ?"
Hera looked at her and replied " My beautiful Brianna, I know you are confused and that
you have many questions do not be afraid to ask me or any of the others gods." Brianna
looked around the garden then at Hera," I'm not sure what to call you ? she said timidly.
Ares who had been there the whole time appeared "well that's easy to answer she is our
mother Brianna so why don't you just call her mom" Brianna seemed startled at first then
looked at Ares."Ares, the God Of War, you know everything I've ever read about you does
not give you the credit that you rightfully deserve." Brianna looked at Hera then got up "
I'll go change Hera I mean mom " Hera looked at Ares then nodded. Ares looked at
Brianna not only was he jealous of her but he began to see see his sister in a new light she
had fire,spunk and most of all courage many of the very qualities that his daughter Xena
possessed, Brianna did as well and that excited him. Ares felt that he may be able to use
his little sister for his own personal gain. Ares walked up to her and said "Brianna,there
is no need to walk let me show you how gods get around" In a flash they disappeared.
When they reappeared Brianna was shocked and amazed by the whole experience. "Wow,
I wish I could that ." Brianna stated. Ares noticing this smiled as he spoke " Maybe
someday real soon I'll teach you how. Inside you will find approiate clothing that our
sister Discord left for you, I believe you will find them suitable." Brianna not knowing
what to say nodded her head and then finally found her voice "Ares,about before I'm sorry
please forgive me."
Ares touched Brianna on her face and replied "Ah little sister you have absolutely no fear
of me I'm impressed, so I forgive you for now." Then laughed as he disappeared in a flash
of light.
Brianna looked at the outfit Discord had left for her it was an outfit that consisted of a
black leather mini skirt with black boots and white satin top with black on the collar and
sleeves. She shurgged then proceeded to put it on.
When she got dressed she walked to the throne room inside the temple as she got closer
she could hear the voices of Hera,Ares and Apollo they were talking as they each were
eating some kind of strange food that she had never seen before. Hera was the first to
notice Brianna.
Brianna looked at them and spoke " I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude, I'll come back"
Brianna watched nervously as the three gods ate, she was cautious yet curious about them
at the same time she was turned to leave. Hera could see the uneasiness as well as the
pain and confusion in the eyes of this child she wanted so much to fit in but was unsure of
just where it was she belonged
Brianna stood there for another moment she wanted to speak to them but did not know
what to say she gazed at Ares standing beside both Hera and Apollo she hated to admit
this to herself but her brother Ares fascinated her. He was the great God of War she had
been right when she had told him that the myths and legends she had read about him in the
20th centuary did not do him the justice that he truly deserved. Hera could tell that
Brianna wanted to ask questions but was afraid. " Ah Brianna you are not intruding
please come join us. There is nothing for you to fear from any of us." Brianna tenatively
walked toward the great throne where Hera, Ares and Apollo stood.
A part of her was curious but still very unsure of them as well as herself. She joined them
at Hera's throne. One by one the three of them took a dab of what appeared to be a rock
crystal type of food as they each consumed it Apollo then spoke to Brianna."you're curious
aren't you ?" he said plainly. Brianna not knowing what to say nodded her head to reply
Hera seeing that Brianna was hungry and started to reach for it put her hand on Brianna's
to stop her "Brianna no I realize your hungry but trust me ambrosia is something you must
not eat. at least not yet you are not a full god yet" Brianna then remembered reading what
ambrosia was then spoke. "Food of the gods, only gods are allowed to eat it, I'm sorry
forgive my ignorance I had no idea that is what that was. Hera looked at her then replied
" you're half god,my daughter you've just learned this on the alter is some fruit go on enjoy
"Ares looked at Hera then spoke "Well Brianna you don't have the stamina of a god yet but
that is going to soon change because school is in session. little sister"
Brianna looked at Hera and spoke "What does he mean school is in session, what's he
talking about ?" Hera smiled and put her arms aound her as she spoke "Ares will guide
you and teach you everything you need to know." as she said that she nodded to Ares.
"Don't interfer mother is all I'm asking out of you,but by the time I'm finished with her she
will have come around to our way of thinking and will be begging us for her deliverence."
Ares stated
Ares looked at Brianna then spoke "you know the first thing that has to go is your mortal
heart." Ares grabbed her and in flash they were gone.
