Sibling Quarrels part 2: Sic 'em, sweetheart!
Atypical afternoon on Mount. Olympus usually consists of arguments between the Gods and Goddess'. The most common arguments are between Artemis and Apollo over a prank with Athena or Zeus as referee. In this argument I got stuck with the job.
"Hermes! Let me go. I need to kill my brother" Artemis yelled as she struggled against my grip to get to Apollo.
"Artemis!" Apollo asked in a small voice while hiding behind his chair, "can't we talk about this?"
"No! I'm tired of your stupid jokes. You're always playing pranks on my nymphs and me. If I wanted to be the subject of your lameness I would of have stuck a sign on my forehead that said 'victim' in bright indigo" came the scathing reply from one still struggling silver haired goddess. Apollo looked scandalized.
"Lame! My ideas aren't lame"
"Yes, Apollo, they are. I mean, how many times have you done that color changing trick on her hounds." I snapped, severely regretting not going with Poseidon to find his trident. Come to think of it, I would rather get between Hera and Zeus in one of their arguments (those are legendary!). Back to the topic…
"See? Even Hermes agrees with me and he's the God of tricksters." Artemis chirped smugly. Ya think?
"Besides, you're the God of music and the arts, so stick with it." I spoke, my patience already thinner than apiece of tree bark.
"Pranks, jokes, excuses… you yourself said they were Arts." Stated Apollo smugly. I merely looked at him before turning to Artemis, still locked in my grip. Correction. My patience just turned to sawdust and blew away.
"Artemis"
"Yes, Hermes"
"Sic 'em"
I let go of her as she grinned maliciously, her eyes glowing with a vicious spark. Apollo let out a high pitched, girlish scream as Artemis pounced.
"Hermes?" Athena spoke softly as she appeared behind me in a flash of light.
"Hmm?"
" You were right."
"Wha?" I stared at her with a confused expression. This is new; usually she just hits me upside the head.
"Last week. You said, and I quote, "Hell hath no fury like a women scorned, but a women scorned hath no fury like a ticked off twin." unquote." I blinked before glaring at her. Athena just smirked before wincing as a shrill yelp filled the air followed by a whimper as Apollo cowered like a kicked puppy before Artemis.
" That had to hurt"
