The grand banquet hall of Olympus glittered with divine light as the gods assembled for an evening of revelry. Zeus sat at the head of the table, a massive throne of gold and storm-cloud marble looming behind him. His piercing Golden eyes surveyed the room, his presence commanding silence when he desired and laughter when he allowed. Tonight, the King of the Gods was in good spirits—for now, atleast

“Drink, eat, celebrate!” Zeus bellowed, his deep voice reverberating through the hall. He raised his golden goblet, lightning sparking faintly around his fingers. The gods cheered, their voices blending into a harmonious cacophony that rang through the heavens.

A mortal, or so it seemed, approached the banquet doors. Zeus barely noticed as the Olympian guards exchanged uncertain glances, whispering amongst themselves before finally letting the figure inside. They didn’t seem to carry the air of a common mortal—there was a weight to their step, a confidence to their stride.

The hall quieted momentarily as the figure entered. Clad in unassuming yet resilient garments, their presence drew the attention of even the most indulgent deities. Hera glanced toward Zeus, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly. Athena leaned forward, her sharp gaze analyzing every detail of the newcomer.

“Who dares enter the hall of the gods uninvited?” Zeus’s voice cut through the silence, his tone heavy with authority. His pupils dialate, locked on the figure standing at the edge of the room.

The figure met his gaze without flinching, an act that sent murmurs rippling through the crowd. No mortal would dare. Zeus leaned forward, his interest piqued despite himself.

Hades chuckled from her seat near the shadows. “Well, brother,” he drawled, swirling her wine lazily, “it seems you have a guest bold enough to defy your divine arrogance.”

Zeus ignored his sister, rising from his throne with a grace that belied his size. He stepped down toward the figure, each step a measured beat of thunder. The hall grew still, save for the crackling of distant lightning.

“Speak,” Zeus commanded, his tone sharp yet curious. “Who are you, and what business do you have here among gods?”

The figure straightened, their presence unwavering despite the weight of Zeus’s gaze. When they remained silebt, zeus growled They weren’t cowering. They weren’t apologetic. There was something.. familiar.

“You presume much, mortal, to come into my abode and uninvited, aswell!" Zeus said, his words edged with suspicion. He stepped closer, his piercing eyes narrowing. “What name do you call yourself?”

When the figure just stepped closer, their stride reminded him of that of a.. god; strong, confident, arrogant even. Something ancient stirred in Zeus’s mind, a memory he had long buried beneath years of battles and indulgence. His hand clenched at his side, his breathing shallow.

“imoossible.. It cant be.." he muttered, though his voice carried through the hall.

Poseidon raised an eyebrow, leaning slightly toward Demeter. “He looks pale,” he whispered, loud enough for others to hear. “I didn’t think that was possible for Zeus.”

“Quiet,” Zeus snapped, his voice thunderous, though his eyes never left the figure before him. His mind raced. Memories of mortals he’d encountered centuries ago flickered through his thoughts, vague but persistent. There was a striking resemblance, an uncanny familiarity that clawed at the edges of his reason.

“Who.. are you?” Zeus asked again, but this time, his voice was softer. Not demanding, but questioning. The hall was silent, all eyes on the god of gods and the enigmatic figure standing before him. "You couldn't possibly be... No. Hera.. She killed that hybrid child and their mother during childbirth!,”

When the figure began to speak again, Zeus felt something he hadn’t in centuries—a pang of uncertainty, mingled with an overwhelming sense of recognition he could not ignore.
