A smile of satisfaction spread across her lips as she watched him scramble out of bed in search of his clothes. A look of annoyance clouded the features of the demi-goddess lying on his bed, clutching the bed sheets tightly to her chest.Her silvery-yellow eyes narrowed as she stared at the demi-goddess, Dyina, and pointed to the adjacent door. “Get out!”“Damn it, Artemis!” Apollo growled as he tugged his chiton into place. “Can’t you knock?”Artemis grinned, and made her way toward the chaise lounge tucked into the left corner of the room. “Where’s the fun in that, brother?” she quipped, lowering her slender frame onto the settee.The demi-goddess rummaged about the room for her clothes, her blue eyes sending imaginary vicious daggers in Artemis’ direction. The goddess’s smile never faltered as she watched her brother and his current paramour move about the room. Apollo took a moment to show Dyina to the door, his shoulders taut with tension as he swung the door closed.“I’m assuming you’re here for a favor of some kind?” Apollo asked, running a hand through his thick blond curls.“Something like that.”He approached the table nearby, and poured himself a glass of red wine. He knocked back his drink in one gulp, and promptly poured himself another before taking a seat in the chair in front of the lounge she reclined on.“What now?”She bestowed him with a knowing gaze, her lips quivering with effort as she tried to hold back her excitement. “I want Mount Olympus, brother, and you’re going to help me get it.”He snorted with amusement, and downed the glass of wine. “A lofty goal, Sis, but that’s not likely.”Her smile disappeared, her eyes narrowing to half slits. “I expected more from you.”He summoned the pitcher of wine, and filled his glass once more. “Do you honestly think dear old Dad is going to give up the throne so easily?”“No, but that’s where you come in. He owes us. Besides, we’ve always been his favorites.”“Whether he owes us or not, Artemis, you’ll never get him to step down.”“Not yet, but I will. And when I do, Mount Olympus will be mine!”Apollo tossed his head back, and laughed heartily. “So you think. There’s a good many of us with an eye on Daddy’s throne. You’re not likely to get it, nor are any of us.”Her nostrils flared outward with anger as she stared at her twin brother. “You owe me.”“I’ll pay up. Eventually.”She sat up straight, staring deep into her brother’s eyes. “You’ll pay up now, brother dear. Zeus has been careless, and I intend to unmask him before the other gods and goddesses.”“How, pray tell?”A photograph materialized in thin air as she flicked her hand about. He deftly caught the glossy paper between his fingers, and examined it.
“Who is she?”
