I saw as the Parcae or super grandmas entered the room, all looking at me, filling me with a sense of dread and uncertainty I didn't like, "The pantheonless god," one of the three sisters muttered, "He can fill many realms, Jupiter, the question is… will you let him?"
Jupiter looked at them, pressing his lips together in mild annoyance, his body language showing clear rejection to the sisters, it seemed Zeus and his roman aspect had more than it originally showed in common, like disliking the fates, "What realms can he rule?" Jupiter inquired, his right hand tapping his throne in anticipation.
"The young God has a strong connection with the magic realm," One of the three sisters answered, "But, that is not the only realm he has a strong connection with,"
"Get to the point," Jupiter demanded in a cold manner.
"Mischief, and trickery… he has a strong connection with both," The sisters said in one voice, creepy… No wonder nobody liked them… but I think the reason nobody liked them was because they had the power to end anyone they wanted to end, including Zeus and or Jupiter, the only ones above them were the primordials, meaning the Gods, were dancing in their old hands.
"Well… we already have Mercury with the realm of Trickery," Jupiter sighed, "Then, it has been decided, Adam, do you accept the realm of Magic, and Mischief?"
This… this seriously couldn't be the process of acquiring godhood… and I just remembered Zeus had given god realms to idiots just because they have his blood, "I do,"
"Then by the power given to me, as the King of the Roman Pantheon, I welcome you Adamas, the God of Magic and Mischief to our pantheon," Jupiter stated, with a tone of finality, daring anyone present to defy him.
"Thanks," I gave the king a small bow, wondering where was the part where I would have to swear my loyalty or something to them…. Why am I even thinking of that, this is an awesome deal for me, I don't have to follow them if things get bad for me.
"Before you come forth and claim your realms," Jupiter said, "There is but one rule, one that I will not tolerate you or anyone breaking…. As the god of mischief I have a feeling you will prank everybody…" he… he had a point, "And I will allow it, as long as you don't prank me,"
"Ok, I have to ask… risking to fuck this deal," At that Phoebus snorted, "Why… are you guys being so trusting with me?"
"A very good question" Jupiter nodded, "The Parcae saw you come, hundreds of years before you were born, with that information… we waited, and once you were born, we spied on you… and we have a very good general idea of who you are…" wait, they spied on me… so he was faking not knowing me? "We know that as long as we don't hurt those who you hold dear, we will have no problems with you, if the Greeks can't see that… then they are even more stupid than I oriinally thought," that… is scaringly accurate.
"I see," I nodded, not knowing how to feel about the fact they had spied on me for years.
"Then come," Jupiter said, extending his hand, "Claim the realms that belong to you," with trepidation I took his hand, and what I can only describe as a surge of energy exploded within me, it was… very hard to describe, "Welcome to the Roman Pantheon, young god, you are dismissed for the moment," with that Jupiter went back to his throne, and Vesta and I teleported out of the room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I felt massively more powerful…. My body and everything, I felt like a completely different person altogether, but in my shock I couldn't help but wonder, why did the super grandmas shared the bit about challenging a God for their realm… if in the first place I was not going to challenge anyone… were they telling me I would do that in the future… was that a part of my future. God, why can gods be a bit more to the point.
"So, how do you feel?" Vesta inquired.
"Good, just wondering what the Parcae tried to convey during our first encounter," I chuckled, it simply didn't make any sense.
"They…. are mysterious beings," Vesta sighed, "Perhaps I can help you with that, if you are willing to tell me what they told you?" for a moment I weighed my options, if I told Vesta, Jupiter would know… was that something I wanted, or… would Vesta keep our conversation between us?
Fuck it, "They told me I could challenge gods for their realms if I had a connection to the realms I was challenging," It wasn't like this information would get me in trouble.
"I see," Vestia nodded, "I can't see why you are confused, considering the realms were given to you without a challenge, mostly because the gods that had those two realms wanted nothing to do with them, and gave Jupiter permission to hand them when the time came, so I don't know what would they tell you that…"
"Oh well," I shrugged, "I suppose I will know in time, for the moment…. I will go and prank…. Everybody," I added with a maniacal laugh.
"Nothing life threatening please," Vesta chuckled.
"Nah, don't worry, I usually go for humiliating pranks that tend to be mind scarring," I grinned and teleported before she could say or do anything, after all, I had a bunch of kids to traumatize.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Juno POV]
Adam or rather Adamas was not what I expected, the visions the Parcae shared with us, showed a kid unable to hate…. Yet, inside him, I felt a shadow looming behind his amiable persona, he was such a good actor, that he had fooled himself… the Greek pantheon had hurt him more than Adam himself would care to admit.
"Are you sure giving him such power is wise?" I asked my husband Jupiter, "It would be bad if he turned against us,"
"He is very powerful Juno, too powerful…." Jupiter sighed, "We need to act carefully…. His hate… he controls it well, but you saw it… he hates the Greeks, with great force… what if he decided we are part of that?"
"Part of what?" I asked.
"It's no secret the Greeks and us are one and the same, two sides of a coin…" Jupiter sighed, "While it's true we are vastly different to them.... We can't deny the fact we are connected to them… so imagine if his hate extended to us…."
"I see, befriending him now by showing him some trust and that we are better that our counterparts will avoid him ever targeting us…" But… still, if he was such a possible threat, why were we entertaining the idea of having him here, killing him now would make things easier for us if he actually posed a threat, "But… still, wouldn't be best to simply eliminate him before he grows too strong…?"
"Juno, the kid has no ambition," Jupiter chuckled, "Out of all the humans, or gods I have encountered, he is the first one that doesn't look at me, and immediately wants my throne, in fact is the opposite…. Someone like that, is someone I want to have close…"
"That's… a very good reason I suppose," I sighed, wondering how much things would change now that Adamas had joined our pantheon.
"It seems he already started interacting with the campers…." Jupiter sighed, rubbing his temples, "He is pranking the entire camp…."
