Chapter 65
"SHUT UP," I yelled getting tired of them fighting, it was getting old very fast.
"Sorry," Sophia said turning away from Zeus.
"Now I would like the truth please," I said politely with a hint of a dangerous edge.
"No," Zeus said crossing his arms like a baby.
"Okay, I'm done with this. Asterope you're a goddess. You were blessed but all the Olympians including Hades and Hestia," Hera said bluntly.
"Excuse me! What? That's not possible," I said denying it.
"It's very true dear," Hestia said softly trying to make me understand.
I angrily stormed up to Zeus, I was glad they weren't in their giant forms. I slapped Zeus in the face, "You only decide to tell me this now?!"
"I-," Zeus started.
"Save it," I said putting a hand up, and then muttered, "Son of a bitch."
"Well she's just spitting fact," I heard Apollo whisper.
"I'm leaving," I said turning around and starting to walk away.
I felt a hand on my shoulder as I turned around, it was Hestia, "You can't, now that you know, you must learn to control your powers. Percy Jackson may be the one that saves us all but you can do just the same thing."
"So Percy is the child of the prophecy," I asked for confirmation.
Hestia nodded.
"So I was blessed by all of you," I said pointing at the gods and goddesses.
"Yes dear," Hestia said nodding.
I looked at my hands expecting something to happen. I felt happy and excited about this but having too much power is also dangerous.
"I think I'm going to faint," I said breathing heavily.
"That's expected," I heard Sophia say before everything went black.

"Is she pregnant," I heard Apollo ask?
There was then a sharp sound in the room sounding like a slap.
"No, you idiot, and is she was shouldn't you know. You're a healer or whatever," I heard Artemis say.
"Lil sis that hurt," Apollo whined.
"Don't call me Lil sis! I was born before you," Artemis yelled.
I groaned, "Will you two shut up?"
"Oh you're up, I saved you some popcorn from last night," Apollo said looking at me.
I look at him unimpressed.
"Get out," Artemis demanded.
"What," Apollo said surprised.
"You're not doing your job so get out," Artemis said pointing at the door.
Apollo sadly left but not before giving me a wink.
"He is so insufferable! How are we even siblings! Twins! How do you handle your brother," Artemis begged.
"Well I haven't seen him in 10 years so that helps but he's insufferable too," I said nodding.
"I hate brothers," Artemis said.
I nodded, "Me too!"
"We can complain later, how are you feeling," Artemis asked me concerned.
"Stressed," I answered.
"That makes sense," Artemis said getting me a glass of water.
I gulped it down quickly, "Do I even have enough time to learn how to control my powers before the war?"
"It doesn't seem like it but I've been thinking, what if you don't control them? You could beat Kronos but at the same time it would be too dangerous," Artemis said weighing the pros and cons.
"I think it might just work," I said thinking.
"But if you learn how to control the powers you will know more stuff and how to use them," Artemis said.
"I already know how to work lighting and air so why not learn something similar," I said.
"Water, it would be easiest for you," Artemis said standing up from where she was sitting.
I stood up from my sitting position on the hospital bed. I was barefoot so when my feet touched the marble floors, it was cold. I sat back down and borough my knees to my chin.
"During school last year, I threw a fireball at a monster," I said.
"Have you ever used water," Artemis asked?
"I don't think so," I said.
"Maybe you should learn fire first, it seems to be the more dominate one," Artemis said walking around the room.
Hephaestus walked into the room, "I heard my name."
"Aster needs to learn how to master fire," Artemis said nodding at him and then leaving the room.
"I'm surprised I was the first one, nobody ever wanted me," Hephaestus said with sadness in his tone.
"I think fire is cool," I said with a smile.
"We can get started in a bit, I have a few errands to run and you still need your strength back," Hephaestus said.
"I agree with you, I feel a bit dizzy right now," I nodded.
"There is some ambrosia and nectar for you," Hephaestus told me pointing at the little side table next to the bed where there was a full glass of nectar and a few chunks of ambrosia.
After Hephaestus left I started eating the ambrosia and nectar. My strength started coming back to me as my headache released and I didn't feel the pounding in my head.
"I feel so much better now," I said to myself.
"Well that good," Sophia said with attitude.
'Thank you for telling me everything,' I said.
"It was a pleasure Lady Asterope," Sophia said mockingly.
'Oh shush, I'm still the same old person you knew before but with more information,' I said rolling my eyes.
Sophia giggled, "I'm just teasing you!"
"I'm going to get some sleep now," I said to no one particularly.
I close my eyes and got comfortable in the hospital bed. I couldn't sleep so I looked at my hands wondering if I could make a fireball appear as I did last year when Andy found out who I really was.
I concentrated on making a ball of fire in between my hands. Nothing really happened at first.
I huffed, "How did I do it so effortlessly last time!?"
I got annoyed pretty quickly when it wasn't working and raised my hand up as if I was holding a baseball and was ready to throw it.
To my surprise, a ball of fire came out of my hand and went straight to the wall lighting it on fire.
"Oh my gods," I screamed horrified.
Suddenly Zeus burst into the room, "I heard screaming! Where is the fire!!?"
"There is quite literally a fire," I said looking anywhere but at him.
"My beautiful walls," Zeus yelled dramatically falling on the ground.
"Oh shut up father, this is my place, not yours," Apollo said barging into the room.
"Sorry," I said embarrassed.
"Eh, just a fire, we've had worse before," Apollo said brushing it off.
"How are you so calm," Zeus yelled dramatically.
