Chapter 3

"Zeus! My son! I want him in my arms! Please." Queen Hippolyta pleaded with Zeus before ending with a heart breaking sob, while looking at Zeus straight in the eye with tear filled eyes. Something Zeus felt was scary yet comforting. Scary in the sense that Hippolyta had some kind of natural super power to pierce into his very being with seemingly practiced ease and access his mind and heart, but comforting as she made it easy for a prideful man like himself to communicate with the woman he loves about anything with eye contact only.

"I can not, my love, but rest assured with the fact that he is safe and sheltered by the oath I swore to you. Due to being unable to be physically be there to protect him." Zeus replied after pushing all the regret, sorrow and helplessness he was feeling to the fore front of his eyes.

"How is that possible though, you are the king of the gods, are you not not? If he is safe as you clai..." Hippolyta began only to be silenced.

"Hippolyta!" Zeus warned with a firm tone.

"Apologies, beloved. I know you would no..."

"But to answer your..." it was Zeus' time to be interrupted.

"Zeus. Dear beloved. Do you fantasize with sleeping alone in your golden personal quarters, hmm?" Hippolyta asked momentarily forgetting her tears and the cause of her tears.

"Of course not, my love. Why in Hades name would I leave you behind when I'm returning to OUR golden personal quarters, hmm?" Zeus replied with a question of his own, emphasising our, while embracing Hippolyta by encircling his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him.

Letting a smile grace her weeping delicate face before stating "I shall believe in you as I always have, however, that does not mean I shall dwell idly while my son is being kept by some person who could pervert him with the man's world's way of thinking."

"Just as long as you remember your duties as a queen and most importantly as my significant other, my better half and as my wife." Zeus spoke untangling himself from Hippolyta, catching her shock, he smirked as he summoned golden ring with a diamond that had lightning crackling within the diamond.

"Is that what I think it is?" Hippolyta asked with a gasp escaping her mouth softly.

"Well, yes and no. It is a ring that will signify that we are married, according to mortals, but also a way to have extra protection from anyone who would be stronger than you. Though that's highly unlikely unless they are a major god or a titan." Zeus informed while gently grabbing Hippolyta's hand and slipping the special ring on her finger.

"I... I... did not think it was possible to love a man, even if they are a god, as much as I have learned to love you over the past year, but now it seems to have doubled." Hippolyta softly whispered back to Zeus after engulfing him with a powerful hug.

"I love you too, Hippolyta." Zeus replied saying words he had not meant in a thousand years with all his heart.

"So! What does the ring possess in terms of power!?" Queen Hypolata asked with giddiness oozing from her in spade due to her inner warrior.

"Well, as god of the sky, I imbued the ring with lightning for speed and techniques, wind for flight and techniques, and some other surprises that you shall figure out." Zeus answered.

"Tha... That is a lot for just a wife, hmm? So beloved, tell me, and it better be the truth, what is the purpose of this ring? Oh so help me Hades, the bedroom is out of bounds for you!" Hippolyta questioned with a death stare.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Zeus replied with a question of his own.

"Does it look like I'm in the mood for such games, Zeus?"

"Very well, it is due to the prophecy where our very own son was tied to two definite scenarios where he shall become a king of two nations. Olympus and Themyscira. How he becomes a king is up to us really, along with every Amazon and god. So if the first impression is to be sour, then I want you safe, and knowing that in future I will give him the throne or he will have to kill me for it. And not to boast, but it implies strength equal to or greater than my own." Hippolyta was stunned and Zeus continued "That is the true purpose of this ring imbued with my strength and my love, because my oath will prevent me from doing something about your death."

"I love you too, beloved, but I would never forgive you for changing the lovely personality you have right now. Diana and Donna have softened your rough edges to the point that if you held a council meeting, you would be unrecognizable amongst them. So if I were to catch wind that you have changed, then breaking out of the underworld would be the least of Hades' problems." Hippolyta stated caressing Zeus' cheek gently. Smirking, Zeus leaned forward to kiss Hippolyta, only for a loud pair of infant cries to penetrate the moment.

Zeus sighed before speaking "Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be a common occurrence?"

"Oh, your very much correct. Now our princesses beckon us to their quarters." Hippolyta stated with a giggle, pulling away from Zeus and moving in the direction of the door, tracing a delicate finger against Zeus' beard clad jaw.

Unknown Sea Shore

A blond haired baby who seemed to have been swept by the water towards the shore of the sea was wailing, as he was only covered by a blue blanket that had yellow lightning bolts on it. The baby would have continued to be vocal about its distress if it were not for a large shadow that appeared over it, prompting the baby to quite down and reveal electric baby blue eyes to view the shadow with childish curiosity. Fortunately for him, curiosity did not kill the cat, as the shadow turned out to be an old man.

"Well, what in the world do we have here? A baby survivor, hmm. I bet there is no one to return you to. I guess I'll take care of you until someone says something about you." the old man stated picking up the baby, who started cooing softly at the old man before yawning lightly.

"Of course, someone of your size needs a lot of rest." the man softly said, before a growl was heard emerging from the tummy of the baby causing the old man to chuckle before stating "And a lot of food. I think you are going to need a name, hmm, let's see. How about Uzumaki Naruto. Uzumaki for the whirlpool of trouble you are going to cause and the waters that dragged you here, Naruto for the maelstrom that is going to be your life."

Twelve Years Later

Themyscira

"Donna! No! You know mother would tell us if it were true or if she thought that we were ready!" a girl stated speaking to an identical carbon copy of herself.

"Then when are we ever ready, Diana. I'm not going to wait until one of us is queen of Themyscira!" Donna replied to her sister, her true sister unlike what the people of Themyscira call each other on the paradise island. As soon as she finished her statement she took off in a sprint towards her mother's private quarters.

"Oh Poseidon's breath. That girl will be the death of me." Diana mumbled under her breath, quickly following after her sister, only to stop running when she heard Donna saying 'Sorry, Aunt Antiope!', though she still fast walked past Antiope.

"Morning Aunt Antiope." Diana greeted just as fast as Donna apologised, before continuing towards her mother's private quarters.

"How peculiar." Antiope mumbled continuing towards her destination causing Diana to giggle.

Arriving at her door, Diana quickly composed herself. Before she could enter she heard her mother state softly, yet sternly with royalty "Enter, Diana. We have a big day with our counterparts soon. I really hate being late."

Eeping in a high pitched voice, Diana quickly steadied herself before replying "Of course, Mother."

Entering the room and finding Queen Hippolyta sitting on the edge of the chair with Donna next to her prompted Diana to quickly shuffle next to her sister's side and payed attention to her mother.

"Hmm, now I wonder..." Hippolyta started while looking up at the ceiling causing Donna and Diana to perk up. Hippolyta smirked a bit before she exclaimed "Zeus, dear, please come here at once!"

"Daddy's going to be here?" Donna eagerly asked.

"Why is father needed?" Diana questioned with a hidden giddiness underneath her controlled royal like expression.

"Because I am married to your mother, thus I am your father too, am I not. Besides as my children, there are some things your mother and I should tell you as you grow. And now it seems that you have grown into young warrior princesses, so we need to prepare you from certain threats" Zeus spoke appearing seemingly out of nowhere. Kissing both Donna and Diana on the forehead, causing them to giggle lightly, before kissing Hippolyta gently on the lips, prompting a duet of 'ewws' and a roll of the eyes from Hippolyta.

Quickly remembering her question in mind Donna, in her rare moments of seriousness, asked "What threats, father?"

"You girls have an older sibling and he is destined for great power." Zeus answered with a grave expression itched on his face.

"You mean she, right father?" Donna pressed on.

"If so, we would not be having this conversation right now." Hippolyta interjected.

"So, we have a brother? Where is he?" Diana asked.

"Wel, that is the thing, he..."
