Mother of the rain clouds

the sins of war rest on the soulders of the survivors.

“I agree with you in general, but I don’t quite think I understand what you’re specifically trying to say,” Iris said as she eyed her from head to toe. She spoke of Olympus with a certain familiarity which crossed out the possibility of her being a mortal. And since the blue-eyed deity didn’t recognize her as a goddess, it only left one other option as a potential explanation.

“There was no underlying meaning or a specific I was aiming for just simply what it was, that some things never change.” Tethys wasn’t one to speak in riddles or make cryptic comments about things, she said what she meant. Most of the time anyway.

“You can say that again.”

[lovelytethys]

“Perhaps certain things aren’t meant to change.”

[vpollon-blog]

“Yeah, but lets say we Olympians bowed out right now and said, ‘Titans, you take the conductor baton’—not that we ever would, because you titans had your time. But what would you change?”

[lovelytethys]

“I’d question your sanity. I’d give it more life, it beautiful but over powering, its so white the walls seem almost cold, I’d have flowers and colour and just something more in it, more life to it, though maybe its not got them because people have been gone for so long.”

“What would you change if you were in charge?”

[lovelytethys]

“I had my time on the ruling circle of Olympus in the time of the titans. I have no interest in ruling, or titles, or war. I find the lack of change almost comforting, reminds me of the days when it was my home.”

   “ and what are some of those things? ”

[lovelytethys]

“Appearance, the tension in the air, arguments, its no different than when we were in charge, except theres more of you.”

   okeanos smiled at her.  “ as much as i don’t trust this place, i must say i’m glad to have you with me.  it’s been a long time since we were on olympus, hasn’t it? ”

[lovelytethys]

Nodding she looked around them, it looked like it had in their heyday, though there was more hostility in the air but that could be explained by their entrapment. “I do not believe i would be able to do this without you. It has been a lifetime, it all seems so different and yet the same all at the same time its interesting.”

“Did you figure that one out yourself or did you need a bit of help??”

[lovelytethys]

“I’m perfectly capable of recognising lack of inspiration in the olympians myself.”

[museicallygifted-blog]

“Thanks. I would hope so, considering my whole purpose is to inspire,” Euterpe said with a laugh. “It was about a man named Alexander Hamilton. He was a great figure in the history of the United States, a land that’s across the ocean to the west.”

[lovelytethys]

“I am sure you are wonderful at it thats for sure.” She laughed before she listened about what she was going to see. “So it was the story of his life then? or just a part of it?”

[thaliaughter-blog]

“Yes, I am! I’m Thalia, Muse of Comedy. It’s lovely to meet you Tethys.” 

[lovelytethys]

“All comedy or just certain kinds?” She asked curiously, was she responsible for all the worlds jokes or just in the entertainment sector?

[fleetfootednike-blog]

“That’s fair. But at least we’re nothing if not consistent.” 

[lovelytethys]

“There is something to be said for consistency thats for sure.”

[thaliaughter-blog]

“It would certainly seem so.”

[lovelytethys]

“You are one of the muses right? I’m Tethys.” She introduced herself, since her return she had made a point of learning of the people who may be brought here to Olympus.

[fleetfootednike-blog]

“Ain’t that the truth.”

[lovelytethys]

“I cannot decide if it is a comfort or not.”

[lovelytethys]

“Somethings never change about olympus no matter who is in charge it would seem.”

[museicallygifted-blog]

Euterpe shrugged, having not yet thought of a story. “The title of the show wouldn’t be decided until after the story, otherwise there would fail to be a connection. As far as the story I’d tell, that has yet to be decided, though I am very open to suggestions. I’ll likely ask my sisters to aid me in writing the show.”

[lovelytethys]

Nodding Tethys supposed that made more sense than just jumping in head first with a title. “Well I hope I am still around to be able to see this show, I’m sure anything you come up with will be wonderfully inspired. What was the show you were planning on seeing about?”

[imitera-blog]

There was a response, one that she immediately recognized. Something else familiar was a relief that she wasn’t just going mad. “Tethys?” Rhea looked around before seeing who she thought to be her sister. A wave of comfort fell over her as she went to her. “Yes, yes it’s me. What’re you doing here? What am I doing here? What’s going on?” So many questions were running through her as she got to her sister. Although, she wasn’t sure if there were even answers just yet.

[lovelytethys]

A smile graced her face when she heard the assurance that it was in fact her sister, there was some comfort in that, in the knowledge that she would have more of her siblings around her bringing joy to her heart. While some had welcomed her to Olympus many still looked at them warily like they were going to wage war again, she hadn’t wanted the war the first time. “I do not know sister, I woke up here, Okeanos and Phoibe are here also, but i do not believe any of us have answers to why we have been brought back and trapped here. I did not believe we would ever see this place again.”

[cansavctoday-blog]

“It is a first for myself. Mortals walking the halls seems a bit odd.”

[lovelytethys]

“Odd is one word for it thats for sure.”

[imitera-blog]

This was certainly not how she imagined things going for her. Olympus looked just as she’d remembered it, though the confusion that cluttered her brain was keeping her from truly reminiscing. Then the concern of her children struck, wondering if they were still safe. “Hello? Is anyone out here?”

[lovelytethys]

Hearing her sisters voice Tethys sat up in the room she had been given, it was a voice she would know anywhere. Placing the book she had managed to find she stood from the chair she had been close to dozing in as she walked slowly to the door, it could be a trick from one of the other gods, she was unsure just who of them she could trust, but god she hoped it was her sister. “Rhea? Rhea is that you?” She called out as she opened the door looking around to see if she could find the source of the voice.
