2 DAYS LATER

Only after two days did Athena and Poseidon leave their home. The couple's house was still the same one that Hephaestus had created as an emergency, but the couple didn't care about that.

The first thing the couple noticed when they left the house was that Hephaestus had already prepared the location where the wedding would take place. Since there were fewer than 10 Gods, the place was small.

Even though it was small, the place was brilliantly stylized. Gold was Zeus' favorite color, so Hephaestus decided to change the color. Silver was the most dominant color, something Poseidon liked a lot.

'Maybe I should ask Hephaestus to make all Olympus silver... no, I promised I would let everyone make the modifications he wanted.'

The couple kept walking until they found Aphrodite, who looked like she was waiting for someone. When Aphrodite noticed Athena and Poseidon, she ran towards them, '' Finally! We thought both of you had decided to hibernate.''

Athena noticed Aprodithe's anxiety, '' What is it?''

Aphrodite shook her head, to show that everything was okay, then grabbed Athena's hand, '' Follow me for a moment!''

Then Aphrodite shot a glare at Poseidon, '' Don't follow us! Hephaestus, Apollo, and Dyonisus are gathered there. They want to talk to you too!''

After saying this, Aprodithe practically dragged a confused Athena to a hidden location.

Poseidon, who understood nothing, stood there for a few moments. Just as he was about to start moving, Poseidon noticed Hephaestus coming toward his position, from a different location than Aphrodite.

''You're late!'' Hephaestus also didn't explain anything and pulled Poseidon to a location.

Arriving at the place, Dyonisus and Apollo were already there and dressed more sophisticated than normal. Poseidon finally noticed, '' The wedding will be today?''

Hephaestus passed clothes more appropriate for weddings to Poseidon, '' Yes! Now go get dressed.''

Poseidon noticed that the clothes were almost the same, only the colors changed. Apollo wearing yellow, Hephaestus silver, Dyonisus purple, and Poseidon blue.

After changing his clothes, Poseidon met with the Gods again, "So, how do we do the ceremony? I have no idea how to do one.''

Apollo looked at Poseidon, '' So, we decided to leave the ceremony in your hands.''

Poseidon was confused, '' I just said I don't know how to do wedding ceremonies, and you ask me to do one?''

Apollo nodded, '' It's like you said before, it is a new era. With that comes new customs. You can do whatever ceremony you want.''

'' Are you sure? Maybe Artemis won't agree to this.'' Poseidon was already thinking about what to do, but he wanted to make sure everyone was in agreement with it.

"She agreed. So please, make it a memorable ceremony!'' Apollo said, and from the look in his eyes, he trusted Poseidon.

Poseidon smiled and patted Apollo on the shoulder, '' Leave it to me!''

But Poseidon remembered one thing, '' How will I be able to talk with the women, to tell them about the ceremony?''

Apollo explained, ''Isis will be the mediator. You call her and tell her what it's going to be like, and she'll tell the others.''

Poseidon nodded and began to think about how to make this a good ceremony, ' Make it like my old Earth? But it still wouldn't be good.... maybe a party before and a traditional wedding? But that would be too boring...'

It took a while before Poseidon smirked. When Apollo, Hephateus, and Dyonisus saw that smile, they trembled.

'' ... Poseidon, what are you thinking about?'' Hephaestus said with fear in his voice.

'' Oh, you're going to love this... IRIS!'' Poseidon called out to Iris.

The messenger of the gods appeared in less than 10 seconds, '' Did you call me?''

Poseidon nodded then dragged her to a private place and started whispering to her.

Apollo, Hephaestus, and Dyonisus tried to listen but heard nothing. They did, however, notice Iris' features, which changed from normal to shock in a moment.

When Poseidon finished speaking, Iris looked at the trio and smirked before disappearing from the scene.

Poseidon returned to the scene and said to the three of them, '' Get ready for the party... Grab some swords and shields, you'll need them.''

The trio noticed that Poseidon was enjoying this situation too much. Hephaestus decided to ask, '' Why do we need this?''

''It's part of the ceremony! And bring plenty of food too! And drinks!'' Poseidon gave the orders and returned to his and Athena's house to get his Trident and Shield.

When he returned to the men's place, Poseidon noticed that they understood a little of the situation, since they were armed to the teeth.

''Where are your clothes for the wedding?'' Poseidon asked.

The trio pointed to the side, where the clothes were lying.

Poseidon smiled at them, '' Calm down, the situation won't be that bad... I think!''

That was not enough to calm the trio.

''Well, take your clothes with you. Because, after all, this is a wedding!''

The trio decided to take their clothes, put them somewhere safe, and take them with them.

"Let's go!'' Poseidon said as he led the trio to a new location, away from the wedding.

Once there, the Goddesses, except Isis, were all dressed for battle.

Apollo, Dionysus, and Hephaestus almost fainted when they saw the scene while Poseidon was calm.

''This will be the ceremony. A free-for-all battle between men and women! No killing the opponent! Everything else is free!''

Poseidon then prepared for battle, '' Iris will be the observer. She will keep an eye on everything. But, she can participate in the battle if she wants! Good luck.''

Iris looked at Poseidon, who nodded. Then, she looked at Athena, who also nodded, '' Okay! The rules are what Poseidon said! Everything is liberated, except killing! Begin!''

The first people to attack were Hestia and Demeter. They both came at Dyonisus with such speed that he could barely defend himself.

Hephaestus tried to help, but Aphrodite wouldn't let him, '' Dear... why do you spend so much time in the forge?''

Hephaestus began to sound cold, '' Honey, calm down... it's my job! It's not my fault!''

Hephaestus tried to ask Poseidon for help, but when he looked in his direction, he noticed the God of the Seas smiling at him.

'Poseidon!!! Traitor!'

'' Oh... so your work is more important than me?'' Aphrodite began to approach Hephateus calmly.

When Hephaestus realized that Poseidon was not going to help and that Aphrodite was not listening, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his gaze was determined.

"Come, dear!'' Hephaestus accepted that he was going to have to take some beating today.

Aphrodite began to attack him with everything she had, and since her equipment was one of the best in Olympus, thanks to Hephaestus himself, the God of Forges was sent to the defense in seconds.

''You've neglected me for years! Take this!'' Since Aphrodite was not known for her battle powers, Hephaestus made a powerful spear for her.

And the spear was working perfectly, practically destroying the sword Hephaestus was using to defend himself. Hephaestus knew he couldn't hurt his wife, so he stayed on the defensive, without counterattacking.

Poseidon stared at the scene and smiled. Then he looked at Dionysius.

Dionysius' situation was the same, but since he was attacked by two people, he was getting some damage here and there, but no life-threatening injury. Luckily for him, Hestia and Demeter were benevolent, so their blows didn't do much damage.

Then Poseidon focused on Apollo and Artemis, the couple who were to be married today. To Poseidon's surprise, the couple was chatting amicably.

Poseidon was disappointed. But after some thought, he decided to do something about it, 'Let's force the couple to act a little.'

Poseidon then began to move towards Apollo and Artemis. It didn't take long for the two to notice Poseidon, and they instantly prepared for battle.

Poseidon said to Apollo, ''It's man against woman, don't forget that.''

Apollo still didn't leave Artemis' side.

"Look at that! What a protective husband!'', Poseidon then attacked Artemis.

Apollo defended one attack, but Poseidon kept attacking. Artemis defended the second, and the couple fought against Poseidon.

Using his powers over water, Poseidon used the water they had brought for the wedding and threw several water spears in their direction.

While Apollo was distracted trying to defend the spears, Poseidon took the opportunity to attack Artemis.

Of course, he was not attacking seriously and was waiting for someone else to appear.

Just as the attack was about to hit Artemis, Poseidon felt the presence of the person he had been waiting for, 'Finally!'

Just as the attack was about to hit, Poseidon's Trident was stopped by a shield, which had a lion in front of it.

The attack caused Artemis and Athena, who had managed to fend off the attack, to be dragged backward. Apollo, who finally got rid of the spears, regrouped with the two.

"Hello, my love!'' Poseidon said to Athena, ''You look more beautiful today.''

Athena smiled at Poseidon, '' You look good too... Now, shall we continue?'' She said as she lifted Aegis.

"Let's go!'' Poseidon raised his Trident and prepared to attack.
