The Moon's Miracle

Chapter 3: Blue aprons and Pink Oven mittens.

"what about this outfit, for the dinner party?" I asked as I displayed a dark navy blue, evening dress in-front of my dachshund. To which he seemingly doesn't give a care, as he continued to stare at me with those puppy eyes. For some people I may look crazy talking to my dog as if he was some sort of a human. Well, if you're a dog parent and you're an almost-lonely person, you would consider sometimes doing this too.

"You know. if I only had a werewolf companion, I would ask them to translate everything that you are trying to say. That is, If they can understand you." I sat down beside him. Stroking his shiny, smooth fur. I heard a "ding" from my oven, I rushed towards the oven grabbing my pink Oven mittens. To avoid scorching my self from the hot pan. The smell of the fudgy goodness, tickled my nose making me drool over the delicacy.

"I just have to wrap this up, and drive it over to Amelia!" I grabbed the hand made box that I crafted from my own hands, to place the brownies and the other pastries that I baked a while ago. 

HADES

"Alright brothers prepare to be amaze by my Greatness in baking!" With eyes filled with pride, The God of the sun, Apollo had exclaimed. He wore a blue apron, partnered with pink oven mittens. As he presented a good-looking dish in-front of the tables. Demeter leaned in to whisper something to my left ear.

"I bet you with one of my finest wine, that this only looks good and yet the taste is horrible." I looked at her, then smirked.

"Deal." As I watched my Brother Zeus and Poseidon gracefully scoop some of the delicacy into their mouths, however their faces went hard and stoic, and suddenly the life in their eyes was gone, the gently put the spoon down on the table, and pushed the delicacy away from them.

"How many pounds of flour did you added in this Apollo?" Demeter asked, before drinking water to prevent herself from choking, because of the powdery pastry.

"That's it." Poseidon stood up and snatched the blue apron that was tied around Apollo's waist.

"You're not worthy of this apron." Poseidon then sat back down again on his chair. We looked at Apollo's face that was still filled with pride.

"There he goes with his drama again.." Zeus had said. He drank water once more to remove the floury texture of the pastry. Which I'm not sure if I will still call it as a pastry.

"I will never bake again for all of you." He pouted, as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"You know, I can have someone teach you on how to bake, certainly your skills are deemed to be as a novice." Demeter said proudly, with a motherly tone.

"What she really means, is that your baking skills sucks ." I said bluntly, as I un-sugar coated Demeter's words. Apollo only huffed as he continued to grumble how his baking skills is fine and that he does not need tutoring.

"Ahh... as much as we would like to continue this. My brothers and I have something to discuss. Would you give us some privacy?" I asked, Demeter nod and walked off, she grabbed Apollo by his collar dragging him, while the God of the sun grumbled and kept convincing his self that he was worthy of the blue apron.

"Tartarus, is feeding itself from the king's curse. If it continues, the kingdom of the werewolves, won't have any king, and we can't have Ryan sit on the throne yet." I said seriously as tap my fingers lightly against the table.

"Can't you just command Tartarus to stop?" Poseidon asked.

"Tartarus is where the darkness lies, it fends itself from the anger and darkness within the soul of the dead The only way to break it, is to fullfill the prophecy, and we have to find someone, to break this curse." I explained.

"Our father had connected his soul to Tartarus. We can't even find a way to break that connection and remove the bloody curse inside him. It is my fault brother If only I stopped father before instilling the curse on him." Zeus said with guilt and shamed wrapped in his voice.

"It was not your fault, no one has to blame for all of this, the only person we should blame is our father and his greed. We just have to find the person that the prophecy is talking about"

"Apollo had managed to decode some of the prophecy" I reached up upon the paper where the prophecy was written

The timeless battle among Gods, Goddesses and Titans had falter. But the fall of Cronus shall be the fall of an another kingdom, and a new Pandora's box will be opened. Your answer lies on the seas, among the earth-borns her bloodline will be your key.

"So what does it mean?" I asked.

"Your answer lies on the seas, Apollo had taken it literally, the girl might be on the seas. Who knows she may be floating around." Poseidon had said.

"Brother, you hold the seas, maybe you can spread the word among your mer-people?" I suggested. If there is one person who can command the sea, inside and out it will my brother.

"I will do as you sa-" As he was about to continue what he was saying, he was suddenly cut off by Apollo's grand entrance and his high pitched voice to which he would use to annoy us so he can get what he wants.

"I have returned! I have bought us tickets to a cruise, but apparently Demeter and Persephone couldn't come. They said they had already scheduled their own vacation. Oh well how about a boys' night out?!" He squealed like an excited girl. Then an idea came into my mind.

"Apollo we can't come we have thi-" I cut off poseidon's word by slamming my palm against his mouth.

"We would love to come Apollo." I said, in my peripheral vision I could see that Zeus' and Hades' eyebrows were furrowed and their faces contorted into confusion.

"Really?! Oh boys' night out!" He celebrated as he skipped with excitement, out of the room. I removed my hand that was against Poseidon's mouth

"What is up with everyone? They are cutting off my words." He protested, but I ignored his protest.

"Remember, the prophecy had said that we will find her on the seas. What if the prophecy really meant that she is on the seas riding a ship?" I explained to them.

"Of course, why hadn't we realized it sooner?!" Zeus exclaimed. Apollo came back inside the room.

"Let's.get.packing!" He exclaimed, with a clap in-between his words. He pushed us out of this room, when we got out of the room.

"Oh by the way Hades, the dead won't try making trouble right? since you are going away for a while?" He asked.

"They won't I will put Deimos and Phobos in charge of the realm." I stated. He only stared at me. Then his face shifted into a gleeful state.

"Oh good then." He clapped his hands together and walked away from us.

"Damn, what kind of son have you created Zeus?" Poseidon asked. Zeus only managed to shrugged.

Well we will see how this vacation will turn out.
