The sky was bright, as if giving thanks for the victory of Zeus . Mount Olympus was packed. Gods, demigods and heroes had come to pay their last respects during a sacred tradition: the funeral games.

You sat quietly on a carved marble bench, draped in a golden shawl Apollo had left behind that morning. Beside you, your young son skipped on tiptoe, his small hands holding a small lyre his father given him.

"Do you think Father will win?" the little boy asked enthusiastically.

You smiled softly. " He always does. But that's not why he's fighting today. Your son blinked " Then why?"

You glanced at the arena and saw entering. He was wearing a white tunic and a beautiful necklace you had made for him for the event. When you saw him approach on his chariot, you couldn't help but admire your husband's captivting beauty.

"Your father is fighting today to honor your grandfather. You explained to you son. Your son puffed out his chest as if proud of his father.

Apollo's face turned to see his wife and son seated on one of the steps of the Arena. He waved to them and the two echoed his gestures. Athena and Artemis smiled at this sweet interaction.

The games began with the Archery competition. Apollo was just as skilled as his half-brother " Ares" . Your son applauded when Heron tied with Ares. Hera's son " Ares" , always wanted to get closer to you. You were always attractive to him, but Apollo was faster and your bore his son.

"Mom, look, father is here. I hope one day I'll be like him" he said, proud of himself. Really, then you'll make him proud." you said smiling.

Apollo had his first fight against his half-brother, "Ares". It was a battle of arms. He was quite good , and when Aes broke Apollo's chariot, you were worried about the god of war' strenght over your husband. You knew he still held a grudge against your husband.

Finally, the fight ended, and that confort you. He was now in the boxing ring. Your son cheered on your father, which gave him the strenght to land his last punch against his opponent, a feat celebrated by the arena's audience.

You jumped for joy, and your son cheered for his father. " You seemed happy." Artemis said, seing his brother's wife smiling. "Yes" you replied. At the end of the combat, Apollon approached his family and hugged his son. " So, did you enjoy the games? " Apollo asked as he leaned down to embrace his wife and son. " It was great," the young boy replied.

Glad you enjoyed it, then," the demigod replied as he wrapped his arms around his family.

He was so happy to have you because you were an inspiration, and he hopes to keep you around as long as possible.
