The memoirs of Hera - part 1The memoirs of Hera part 1 - How to begin a story" Run, Hera, Run!" my father urged me and pushed me into the back with his right hand, pointing with his left in the general direction of the forest, where the setting sun was already painting the tree tops in an orange colour. Beyond the woodlands lay the blue, snowcapped mountains, and beyond them places I didn't know." But dad... what about you?" " I'll do al right. I'll stay here, stopping the Titans from finding you, getting you. And I'll finally get revenge over Tethys, my beloved. Your mother. "" But they're gonna kill you for sure! Let me stay and fight... "" And die too? That
The Order of Blue GoldThe Order of Blue GoldThe sisters and brothers of the Order of Blue Gold didn’t waste a minute of their precious time. Already the same day my training started. I learned all kinds of martial art. (And I found I had a previously unknown skill for kicking people in the guts.) I learned to handle guns and swords, to drive the primitive automobiles of these days as well as reading maps, climbing up things, hiding, spying, running for cover, camouflaging myself and other useful skills.Not to mention learning to fully use all my immortal abilities, like levitation, mindspeak, shape-changing, self-healing and similar things. Including this
The Titan ComputerThe Titan ComputerThere is something interesting in with what war does to people. Of course it maims and hurts both the bodies and souls, but it causes other things too. Fighting side by side brings people close. And after saving each others lives countless of times in various raids and battles Neario and I found that we were falling in love.I don't really know how it started, I only knew that after an attack against a Chronite troop encampment we found usselves kissing like madmen. Drenched in blood we were standing in the pouring rain among the smoking ruins of the Chronite training camp and kissing and caressing like school kids after
Mountain TrekMountain TrekAt these high altitudes it uses to snow in wintertime even as far south as in Delgarenzia. And during the three days we had been travelling through the wood-covered Delgaron mountains it had been snowing almost constantly. A heavy fall of large white flakes covered the ground and the trees in white, muted the sounds and made the world feel almost unreal, like we were travelling in a nowhereland beyond known realms.This silence, this feeling of unrealness made one almost want to whisper, scared of waking what strange spirits or beings who might be hiding among the trees. Sometimes you thought you saw something, but it was only
My Childhood YearsAthena - My life as a goddessMy childhood yearsMy first memory is about daddy. I remember him playing with me, throwing me a couple of metres up in the air and catching me when I'm coming down. Several times he does this. At that time he seemed larger than life to me (to be honest, he still seems that way to a lot of people). I remember the sun shining upon him from behind - or was it his inner light - and making his blond hair and golden headband almost blinding me.I remember laughing and I remember him smiling at me, his blue eyes full of joy and warmness. And the next moment I remember him holding me and all felt cozy and safe.Dad
Finding my place in the worldFinding my place in the worldBirthdays, especially significant ones - like maturity age and when you turn decade, century and the likes - have always meant party at Olympos. And me turning 16 was no exception, on the contrary. Dad has always believed in working hard and partying hard. He thinks that if you don't party for real you have no energy or urge to work for real. And good parties always bring people together and strengthen communities, families and pantheons.I was celebrated with a reception for friends and acquaintances at daytime, and then with the pantheon in the evening. The afternoon reception was more a 'duty thing' with p
The Help PatrolThe Help PatrolNike and I had started working for the deities Learelia and her son Azirakon, helping them with their society projects at the outskirts of Thessalia"Ekarantanni and in the neighbouring provinces Elesios and Angresidor. The two of us started off feeling mostly like apprentices, but soon we were doing real job in Learelia and Azirakon's Help-Patrol. Real tedious jobs, like healing, crime prevention, stopping accidents and so on. There were so many mortals always getting in trouble and so few of us to help them. And usually Nike and I were so tired that we skipped all the social life and only worked, slept and ate. Until Hera of
Crazy OlymposCrazy OlymposMy family - the House of Olympos – is a crazy lot. I believe the term you'd use is docu-soap if you'd been a fly on the wall. I've already told about Eos and her eternal love problem. She went from arms to arms without being able to settle. And one of these men gave her a son "Zephyros. Little Zephy was blond and blue-eyed and the first suspected fathers were of course Zeus and Astraios. But Eos refused to say so we kept on guessing for a while. I knew that Demeter knew (she always does) but she's so good at keeping secrets.Astraios "well, he had several women around town, but at the same time he and Leto were entertaini
