Olympus (short story)

Olympus

In the mighty Olympus, where all the strongest gods lived, where all the nice and beautiful things are, where the clear cloud and sky are, where you can hear the sound of the birds. Inside the enormous building that was made of gold, where Zeus was sitting on the throne and next to him was Hercules, Hercules standing there to help Zeus if he need. Around him were all the gods are gathered together. The air in Olympus was very hot because it was in middle of summer. Olympus like they have a gigantic fire ball that falls into it.

In Olympus, everyone was living happy together. In ranking, Zeus was the most powerful gods of all. He was known as “King of Gods”. No one can beat him. His hand was as hard as a rock. When he used his hand in the battle, the enemy will die. When other enemy saw him, the enemy’s face likes an ill people and they run away. But, in the Olympus, other gods always respected him. Zeus most powerful weapons was lightning. Hera was Zeus’s wife and they gave birth to Hercules.  Not only Hercules, but other heroes were born by Zeus and Hera. Hercules also had the power of Zeus; he had a tough body that like it was made of metal. Hercules could run very fast, as fast as he could run on water. Even he young, but he had made a lot of helping for his father and other gods. Each day passing, Zeus was like show off and confident about his powers as “King of the Gods”. He thought that he was the only that can control Olympus. That started to make everyone stay away from him. No one talk to him anymore, even his family. One day, other gods couldn’t stand for Zeus’s selfish and show off anymore. They not feel comfortable; they feel like Olympus that time was like a jail. Because Zeus not act fair with other people anymore, that would be bad for Zeus. Then, other gods have a meeting about Zeus’s attitude and how to solve the problem. They did this meeting in a secret place so Zeus and other people would not know. This meeting was made by Hades and Poseidon.

“Hey you guys, what do you guys think about Zeus” one god said.

“I think he just stupid and because he was the king and he think that he was the best” said Hades.

“We should push Zeus out of his throne?” said other god.

“I think I would be a good person to replace Zeus as the “King of the Gods”. Because I was the second strongest god” said Poseidon.

“NO!!! I will be a good person for replace Zeus” said Hades

Then, they have a long argument. But, they think that talking is not a good way. And they decided to have a fight. And who win after the fight will replace Zeus. Then, unlucky for them, Hermes was one of Zeus son saw that and run back to tell what happened for Zeus. Zeus was surprise and quickly run to the place where they have a fight. But, he was too late. The fight had been started, fire and water was shooting everywhere. It was like the most terrified battlefield. He said to them “STOP!!!!” but no one listened to him because they were not respect him anymore. Then he asked other people for help, but no one accept it. Because of respect Zeus and family, Hercules accepts to help Zeus. He talks to other gods in order to calm them down. But no one listen, so he screams the loudest voice that he could do

“STOP EVERYONE!!!!!!!” Hercules was screaming

Then, every god stops their fighting.

“Why we should stop?” said Poseidon

“You are my dad’s brother and why you wanted to started a war and push Zeus out of his place?” said Hercules.

“Because he was show off his powers and doesn’t respect anyone” said Hades.

“We respect him and he doesn’t respect us” said other god.

“Did you guys even try to talk to my dad in a conversation?” said Hercules.

“Why should we, if he doesn’t accept to not be show off anymore? We think it is good way to fight, right?” said Poseidon.

“No, we are one family and we don’t need to hurt each other. Will you change your personality for peace, dad?” said Hercules.

“Ahhh... Yes, I will” said Zeus.

Thanks to Hercules, everything went back to normal. At that time, Zeus’s hero was Hercules. If Hercules wasn’t accepting the request, Olympus would break apart. Then, Poseidon and other gods stopped the fight because Zeus changed his personality about how he acted. After that, Zeus wasn’t want this to happen anymore, he was friendly and fair with other god again. 

Zeus learnt a good thing, that is don’t ever show off or disrespect other people. That will make you sad like no one respect you anymore and no one talk to you anymore. And don’t just because you have powers, you’re not the best. That was the most important lessons for Zeus
