TW: mentions of child loss



"Oh no."  Thanatos said while turning to the others.

They all looked down sadly. 

"It wasn't her time yet she still hasn't returned to the others. She was supposed to help them." He looked around the gods trying to think of something.

 Athena stepped forward. "I know she's young but what if you made her your mistress? Perhaps it will help in the long run anyhow and she would be resuscitated."

Thanatos shook his head. He doesn't want to risk insanity on his favorite human. "She would go crazy. She would see and feel the dead. "

Dionysus stepped beside Athena. "Maybe I could gift her to keep her from madness." They all nodded in agreement. "Maybe we could all give her a small gift to help her? There's no doubt this will be hard on her." Artemis commented. 

The God of Death sighed and nodded. "Alright, let's see what we can do."


Estella's POV

What happened? I thought I died or something? Am I in a hospital? Maybe a coma? No that's not right..... I was on a plane.... then it crashed.... safely? Oh, right. Incompetent children. The doll. Then boom? I have no idea. 

"Εγώ, ο Θανάτος, βαφτίζω την Αζαλέα ως ερωμένη μου και της δίνω τη δυνατότητα να ταξιδεύει στις σκιές."

'What on earth did this person just say? Where did the plane land?'

"Εγώ, η Αθηνη δίνω στην  Estella το δώρο της μάχης και της σοφίας."

"Εγώ, η Ποσειδων, δίνω στην Estella το δώρο της υδάτινης βάρδιας."

"Εγώ, η Αρτεμις, δίνω στην Estella το δώρο της Ζωογλωσσίας."

"Εγώ, ο Διονυσος, δίνω στην Estella την ασφάλεια από την τρέλα."

"She doesn't need any more beauty so I will help in the future."

'FINALLY ENGLISH....Wait..... wut?'

"Εγώ, ο Ἑρμης, δίνω στην Estella το δώρο των γλωσσών και ένα αστέρι για να την καθοδηγήσω."

"Okay that's everyone for now. She should wake up soon."

I felt a finger tap my forehead and I sat up with a gasp. "Well, good morning little one." A tall man said. I feel.....different.

"Um... good morning... where exactly am I? This doesn't look like a hospital." I said while looking around. It seems as though the people that were talking before left. While my eyes travel around the room something feels familiar. I took a breath and looked to the man who didn't answer my question. He was looking at me with a fond smile. If i didn't find him familiar then I would have thought he was a creep to be honest. I tilted my head with a small smile and he blinked. "Right apologies. You're correct this isn't a hospital. You're in Olympus as of right now. We haven't met properly before but I have been keeping an eye on you. I am Thanatos." When I tell you my jaw DROPPED. 

"So what you're saying is.... I.. died? And now I'm in Olympus hanging out with the Greek God slash personification of Death? I wont lie I'm a bit skeptical." He chuckled and held a hand out to me. "I think once we step outside that will be enough proof." I took his hand and he opened the door with a wave of his other. I've done that before but I've never seen someone else do that.
