Olympian Beginnings: Chapter 2

 Hestia 

The girl and boy led us down the corridor and through a back door that looked like it might be a servant's entrance.

"Wait." I said, and stopped walking.

The girl turned. "We really don't have time-"

"No. I'm not going any farther until you explain exactly what is going on here."  My siblings stopped walking as well. The girl looked slightly annoyed, but sighed. "Alright. I suppose we should begin with introductions. I am Metis, titaness of wisdom and batle strategy, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. And this," she gestured to her companion, "Is your brother, Zeus."

''"Brother?" ''we all asked. I thought I heard Hera curse. The boy stepped forward. "Yes, I am your brother. Our mother, Rhea, hid me away at birth and tricked our father into swallowing a rock instead."

"That's  what the boulder was for!" Demeter said.

I looked at her. "Really? That's what's going through your head right now?"

She crossed her arms defensively. "What? I was curious."

Metis continued. "Queen Rhea and I have been planning this for a while now. We've already convinced my parents to remain neutral in the war, and-"

"Whoa. Hold up. War?" Hera asked.

"Well, yes." Metis looked around at our suprised expressions with astonishment. "Naturally we're starting a war to take down the titans. Why else would we have freed you?"
