The God of Gravity part 2: Olympus

The Goddess of Entropy

"You will pay for that!" he pointed but Darius just folded his arms as Liang charged at him.

"Woah, my friend," said Shui as he stopped him and Liang's fist is an inch before colliding with Darius's face that he puts on when he's dead serious. "We are not here to fight," smiled Shui. "We are here to pass our requirements so that we can attend the first day of class later."

Liang calmed down as Shui let go of him but scoffed as they walked to the elevator and passed by.

"You both are gonna regret that," whispered Shui as he passed by in between me and Darius.

"Then let's regret it together," I answered and he frowned at me before leaving.

They looked at us with their crumpled eyebrows and the two of us glared back at them as the doors slid shut. Then we scoffed.

"That's like Icarus and his friends that became gods," I said.

Then Darius sneered, "He sure tried, that wimp god."

"Oh, man!" let out Lady Aurelia as she jumped between us and rested her arms over our shoulders. "You guys are freaking cool!" she laughed.

"You're gonna get yourselves in trouble," said Lady Mila with an entertained face. "you know that? They belong to the Elven Houses of Olympus and they hold the regions with the most human populations. No deity would like to provoke them unless they want to be left without devotees then sacked out of Olympus without anyone knowing about it. That is why they are powerful here on Olympus. But you guys don't need prayers and I know that both of you won't back down if provoked." She smirked.

"I knew it," said Lady Juliet. "Things will get interesting if these two get to Olympus."

"I like both of you now, Leo and Darius," said Lady Aurelia. "And don't worry, they can't do anything to you as long as you stick with me and my sista."

Then that's that, we returned to our House and everyone else is gone because they have their errands. I and Darius just stayed inside our room and trained because we got nothing to do. I stopped for a while and asked Lady Mila if they have devices that I can use to contact my family to let them know I made it to Olympus.

"Leo!" yelled Hera through the speakers of the laptop they let me borrow. And I also found it weird that they have laptops here. It's a small world.

She is sitting on her bed and I can tell that she is getting ready for school in her uniform. I feel glad that she is going to school. I think that she might even get smarter than me because all I did was training for fighting and lesser about academics but I read books sometimes and read articles online because it is still my old habit. Although I haven't read once in a while. It's mid-April and it is mid-summer. Hera is six now and she is gonna be attending a summer class as a first grader.

"Hello, Hera!" I greeted her and I feel warm just seeing her adorable face. "Are you doing fine?"

"I'm good! Are you really on Olympus right now?"

I nodded. "Guess what? I live in the King's home!"

"Wow! Can you show me around?"

"Okay, but where are Mom and Dad?"

"They said that they will call you in the afternoon, Dad's got a fight today."

"Oh, is that so? Tell him that I wish him luck."

"Okay."

"Here we go, I'll show you around the House Hayashi - the House of King Rai himself!"

"Wow!" she exclaimed as I rotated the laptop to let her see our room.

"And this is, Darius Ozan!" I announced as I pointed the laptop at him so she could see Darius doing one-finger push-ups. And he is sweating a lot.

"Yo!" he said while waving his other hand.

"This is Hera, Darius," I said.

"Hello, Hera! I'm training very hard to crush your brother. You can watch me beat him so bad!" he pointed at her.

Does he have to tell her that? It's gonna make Hera worry. "No, you can't," she answered. "Leo is stronger than you."

Darius stood up with a provoked, sweating face. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!!"

"Nah, calm down, Darius," I said.

He pulled the laptop closer to his face as he shouted, "I'll fight him right now and you'll see how bad he's gonna lose!"

I sighed before is used, "Kick of Three:" I sweep-kicked the ground below me and stepped back. I showed Hera what's gonna happen next by letting her see Darius.

"AAARGH!!!" he screamed as he prepared to charge.

"Three Second Delay."

"Woah!" he exclaimed and fell sideways on the floor.

"Ahahahaha!" laughed Hera. "See?"

I can hear him growling on the floor until the sliding door opened with a "How are my boys doing?!" from Lady Aurelia. She put her hands on her waist and laughed, "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" She widened her eyes after seeing Hera on the laptop. "Who's this?" she asked after she instantly appeared in front of me so Hera can see her.

I said, "This is my sister, Hera. Hera, this is Lady Aurelia, the Goddess of Lightning and the daughter of the King."

"Your hair is so pretty!" said Hera.

Lady Aurelia squealed like a girl (oh wait, she "is" a girl) before saying, "You're so cute!!"

She is obviously easy to flatter like her sister - that time when Macky said she is pretty, they became friends in an instant. I just gave her the laptop and let her talk to my sister because I can tell that she wants to know Lady Aurelia.

"Here, you hold it, my lady," I said as I gave it to her.

"How old are you, Lady Aurelia?" asked Hera.

"I am one one!"

"Oh, she means eleven," I said while showing my face to the camera for a quick moment. "We're the same age." Then I let them be.

"Oh, right....," she realized. "that's right." She shook her head and said, "You wanna see the Palace of Olympus?"

"Yeah!" answered Hera.

"Well, hang on!" she said before leaving with a lightning burst and thunder.

I just sat on the floor as I tapped it with my nails while waiting for them to come back. Darius is still training and I suddenly felt an urge not to lose against him. Of course, I already trained earlier but I'm on a break to call Hera.

I stood up and I realize I need to exercise my legs because my agility is what I rely on most. I started doing ladder drills while imagining that there is a ladder on the floor. It is when I got to the other end that Darius started doing the same thing and I was irritated.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Training," he answered.

"Why are you copying what I am training on?"

"What? Copying you? Please....," he smirked.

I just narrowed my eyes and decided to do handstand push-ups instead. And a dozen reps later, he did the same thing!

"What is your problem?!" I blurted out as I stood up. "It is obvious that you wanna compete with me with what I am training on!"

"Compete with you? Please...," he smirked again.

If he wants to compete with me for everything, too bad for him because I know his weakness is: Flexibility!

I sat on the floor and started to split my legs and reached down. He did the same thing and he did it successfully. I did a full bridge by bending my back until I touched the floor with my hands. He was able to do the same thing. He's obviously trying to compete with me, huh?

Well, I know something that guys that have great muscle mass can't do: It is to reach the spine by using the hand crossing in front of the chest! He did the same and he realized he can't do it. I smirked at him and he frowned at me.

"You can't do it?" I teased. "Too bad."

"Argh!!" he screamed in anger as he charged at me. I readied my stance.

But, "Fight here and I'll let my creatures in the Underworld t*****e you," said Lady Mila.

We stopped and stood straight as we said, "Yes, my lady!" - she told us to do this when every time we see her for every first time. I feel like this is in a military school.

"Wohooo!" shouted Lady Aurelia as she returned with the laptop and Hera is laughing with her. "Did you enjoy it, Hera?"

"Yes, big-sister Lia!" said Hera.

Lia? Ah.... Aure-"Lia" Wow, they became so close like lightning speed that Hera came up with a nickname for her.

"Hera," said Lady Aurelia as she showed her sister to her. "This is my sista, Mila."

Lady Mila just frowned while looking at her until "Both of you are so pretty!" complimented Hera and I think I know where this is going to lead.

Lady Mila smiled as she said, "You got good eyes for a cute little girl. I will let you-"

"Okay, that's enough," I said while smiling and saying it nicely before she says that she will take her into Elysium herself when her time will come. "Hera is gonna be late for school."

"What do you think you're doing?" asked Lady Mila with a frown on her face and her eyes becoming black.

"Give her back, now!" roared Lady Aurelia with her eyes glowing red as well as red electric arcs around her arms as every time she gets angry about something.

I have no choice but to give her up or face their unsurvivable wrath. I gulped before saying, "Okay, my ladies." and slowly gave them the laptop.

They pulled it from me violently and like snakes, they hissed and frowned at me. Then they smiled brighter than the sun before they turned the laptop to let Hera see their faces. They talked and talked and I just wondered if this is normal for girls to switch moods in a snap. They kinda remind me of Mom.

Are all girls like this? I don't know...., since I don't know much about girls but I'll just shrug this and say, "This is Olympus."

An hour later, we are ready to leave. Darius and I took a bath again because we smell after all that training. We wore uniforms. Darius and I wore these long sleeves, a black vest over it, and black ties. Then we just wore black pants but Darius didn't like how the overall uniform looked so he stole a blue jacket from a closet from the room next to us. I didn't bother to scold him because we're in hurry or Lady Mila will leave without us.

Then I saw her wearing white sleeves under vest but she wore a short skirt. She looks fine in it but I didn't dare to look down or she will kill me. I can only tell that she is wearing a black skirt.

Lady Aurelia wore the same sleeves with vest but has a golden skirt and her tie is also gold. She decided to go with us rather than taking Darius at lightning speed. They played games like rock-paper-scissors and I am quite surprised that they get along somehow. Their game is very painful because the loser has to be punched and Darius always loses because he doesn't know that Lady Aurelia can read minds. His face is swelling.

We just rode on Lady Mila's black clouds. I can see how wide Olympus is. Everything is sparkling and I just squinted behind these temporary glasses of mine that made everything a little blurry. Then I just looked at the clouds beneath my feet and wondered when will they give me my custom glasses with the right grade.

To think of it, I don't even know what these clouds are made of so I asked her, "May I ask what are these clouds are made of, my lady?"

I was behind her so she turned to look at me and back to face in front of her before saying, "Ashes of the dead from the Underworld."

"What?"

"I can control the things that I decay. Not biologically like the God of Disease but it is more of splitting the compounds of the living matter then control it. I can go beyond the living matter but it's hard."

"You're called the Goddess of the Underworld too, are you not, my lady?"

"I am the Goddess of Death and the Goddess of the Underworld just like Aurelia is the Goddess of Lightning and the Goddess of the Sky. We are called by many other names and titles but they are too simple to describe the Prime Powers. Only you humans named us that way that you see fit based on your own understanding. In specific terms, I am called the Goddess of Entropy. Entropy means disorderness. Disorderness arises when we cannot understand or predict things out of our own thinking. And things get disorderly for us when we start to split atoms down to their protons and electrons. Even the Gods of Wisdom couldn't understand these things entirely. Being able to split atoms, I can create Nuclear Bombs - as what you humans used to call it."

"That's awesome," I complimented.

She cleared her throat and says, "But I'm still working on it because it requires very precise concentration and power."

"But isn't Entropy and Chaos the same thing?"

She turned around and smirked at me. "I didn't know that you have such a sharp mind, Leo."

She called me Leo. That's new.

"As I have said," she continued. "the common names of Prime Powers are not specific so the power of Chaos is only an interpretation of humans. They even named Kronos - which means time and that he is the God of Time but if that was true, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades wouldn't stand a chance against him as well as against his reincarnation, Torantus because controlling time means that you can go back and forth in time as you will and you will be undefeatable. He is named that way only because he is there since the beginning of the Fabled History. The specific name for the God of Chaos is the 'God of Fusion' - which is kind of the opposite of my power for I can also be called the 'Goddess of Fission'. Kronos can even control the Sun - where fusion takes place that is why he's hard to beat. Then when they fought, chaos was everywhere as he created 'Fission Bombs' that are more powerful than 'Fusion Bombs'. That is why Kronos is called the God of Chaos."

"What about Lady Aurelia's power?" I asked.

"Ah, she's specifically the 'Goddess of Electrons' and there's a lot about her powers if she just studies about it if not for the fact that she hates studying. I even taught her how to read minds and it was the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life so I took her to Lord Seok. He also told me that our powers including our older sister's are very simple that is why we are powerful. But I wouldn't say that it is simple, because as I said, as things get simple, they get more complicated for our minds to understand. Was my explanation simple enough for you to understand?"

"Uh....," I thought about it because everything she said was too much for me to understand in a short time. "I-"

"Well, it's understandable that you wouldn't get it in a single and brief explanation because it is a complicated topic. You are raised to be a fighter whereas I..., is raised to be a thinker." Then she nodded. "We're here."

Then I observed that we are descending and approaching the Academy of Olympus.
