"They know how to have fun," Thalia said, looking at the beautifully decorated temple with the greatest luxury she had ever seen in her life. She assumed that the gold in the place alone could cause the economy of even a large country to have a huge economic crisis.
"Welcome to the world of the Greek gods, the most hedonistic gods of all universes. Perhaps only the Hindu Pantheon could compare with the Greeks," Godwyn whispered in Thalia's ear, making the girl roll her eyes.
"However, I thought he would be more imposing," Thalia said, looking at the huge Greek god sitting on the throne. He was easily tens of meters tall, imposing and very muscular, with shoulder-length black hair and a well-trimmed gray and black beard. He has bright electric blue eyes with a serious and proud, but very handsome face.
However, it lacked a majestic feeling, which she would expect from the King of the Gods of Greece. Perhaps it was because he was old and did not have the same fervor as when he was young and fought against the titans, he seemed less imposing and majestic.
"At least you inherited his beauty," Godwyn said with an amused smile, flirting with Thalia without even realizing what he had said at that moment, but the girl had noticed the flirtation and a smile appeared on her lips.
Thalia did not comment on it and looked at the rest of the gods, there were some of them who were absent because they were on the front lines, like Athena, Hephaestus and Hermes. Honestly, she didn't understand why Ares had actually returned from the front lines.
"Interestingly, the moon goddess only cares about one man, her own brother," Godwyn said, looking at Artemis and Apollo, side by side. He wanted to mock the moon goddess, remembering their encounter years ago, but he knew it was not the right time or even the right place for such a thing.
"Why did she swear to be a maiden for all eternity?" Thalia asked with a curious tone. She felt that love was the most beautiful thing in the world, she saw no point in abandoning such a thing for a lifetime because of some dislike. After all, if she didn't like men, she could like women.
"Some say she was traumatized by helping with her brother's birth, but that's a lie, the goddess of childbirth afraid of childbirth? Is there anything more ridiculous than that? She saw what she shouldn't have, she saw Metis being devoured by her father, who was terrified to know that the child in his wife's womb would be the fourth generation of god king," Godwyn whispered in Thalia's ear with a touch of deep contempt for Zeus.
"Imagine seeing your own father devouring his wife? How traumatizing can that be for a young goddess who had just been born?" Godwyn spoke with a sigh, but felt no pity for Artemis. The goddess judged that all men were trash just because she had a trash father, that was pure nonsense.
How many fathers saved their children? How many fathers gave their lives for their own children? How many fathers went hungry to feed their children? How many brothers protected their brothers and sisters?
Artemis was a radical feminist who saw all men as a cancer to be eradicated. The greatest hypocrisy was that her brother was a horrible lover, a stalker and even a rapist, but she still loved to protect her brother as if he were an innocent man. There was no greater hypocrisy in the universe than this.
Thalia's face turned pale at Godwyn's description, the image of Zeus that was already extremely bad in her eyes, had no hope in her mind. Who would devour his own wife with the child in her womb because of fear, if not a monster?
"Want to dance?" Godwyn asked with a smiling tone, feeling the heavy atmosphere. They were in the temple where the Summer Solstice party was taking place, under the eyes of all the Greek gods. Others could not have the courage to do such a thing under the eyes of their enemies.
However, Thalia, as well as Godwyn were definitely brave and foolish enough to do something like that.
"Please, my prince," Thalia extended her hand and Godwyn held it, pulling her to the center of the temple, where gods and goddesses were enjoying a time of peace in this environment of war between two pantheons.
Her complicated mood seemed to dilute feeling the warmth of his hand, Godwyn was like a spell to her, because whenever she was next to him, it seemed that this cold and cruel world was warm and gentle, like a sun caressing the earth with life.
It wasn't just the gods, the demigods were also talking in low voices without hiding the admiration they felt for their divine fathers and mothers. Thalia and Godwyn approached these demigods and simply started dancing.
As it was a classic Greek song that was being played by the Nine Goddesses, the Muses, everyone seemed to dance to a slow and elegant music.
"I thought I would have to teach you how to dance, but it seems you know how to dance," Thalia said, feeling Godwyn's arms around her. She lifted her head and said with an amused tone, but followed the steps of the Norse god with shocking ease.
"I should have said that. Who would have imagined that the goth girl would know how to dance. That is surprising," Godwyn said with a smile, he really never imagined that Thalia knew how to dance classical music.
As for himself, he learned from Heimdall's nine mothers, although Heimdall himself was trash, his nine mothers were surprisingly kind.
"My mother forced me to learn when I was ten for some stupid pageant competition," Thalia replied with a unpleasant expression, thinking about her childhood, which was full of her mother's attempts to force her to follow the path of an actress and model.
It was also at this time that she began to wear makeup and dress like a goth, which naturally caused many arguments between her and her mother. After three years of such a life, she simply ran away from home and found Luke, Annabeth and Godwyn and Mimir.
"I would love to see you in a pink dress." Godwyn's eyes lit up hearing Thalia's words. Thalia was really beautiful, in a dress, the girl would simply be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
"If you dare to think of something like that again, we will train a lot when we get back." The words came out of Thalia's lips almost like an angry growl. The idea of wearing dresses in front of Godwyn made her feel a sense of shame never felt before.
"I'll be bold then." Godwyn showed no fear and said with a confident and arrogant tone, making the thunder girl punch his shoulder hard.
Godwyn just laughed and danced with Thalia under the eyes of his enemies without any concern, both seemed to be in a world of their own, just looking at each other with a smile.
Such a scene naturally caught the attention of some gods, especially Aphrodite, who was now properly dressed and elegant, nothing like the woman with an indecent expression when she was with Ares in Zeus's bed.
"How beautiful and pure," Aphrodite muttered to herself, looking at the two figures dancing as if there were only them in the world. There was no lust, eroticism or even any dirty feeling, just the purest feeling of love shining in both demigods she was observing.
It was such a pure and beautiful glow that she couldn't help but look at Ares not far from her. Seeing his glow, there was only lust, no love, no passion, it didn't even reach 1% of the purity she was seeing in the demigod couple.
This made her full of jealousy, she looked at the couple of demigods in love with a look full of jealousy and envy. 'If I don't have such love, you won't either.' She thought of a way to separate the couple in front of her.
Soon, a sick smile appeared on the lips of the goddess of sex and eroticism. She looked at a lonely girl at the party and smiled. With just a look from the goddess, the girl who was visibly uncomfortable with the environment looked at Godwyn with an increasingly passionate look.
Meanwhile, Thalia and Godwyn danced amidst laughter from both. Looking at the blue eyes of the girl in front of him, Godwyn's face couldn't help but smile, he liked to see that smile. For a moment, the world around him seemed to become silent and time stood still. Even the music disappeared.
"Thalia," Godwyn called her name with a gentle tone.
"I like you."
Godwyn was never an indecisive person and would not be indecisive at this moment, but he had to admit, his hands were sweating, the heart in his chest seemed to explode at any moment with anxiety.
Thalia's eyes widened hearing the confession and she couldn't help but open her mouth in shock. Not even in her wildest and most insane dreams, she thought that one day Godwyn would confess to her under the eyes of all the Greek gods.
