"His blood is red." Dionysus mumbled, looking at his father's corpse. The gods came out of their shook just enough to notice.
"B...but gods blood is gold!" Hermes exclaimed. "Why is it red!?"
"Clearly cause he isn't a god anymore." Athena mumbled. She looked around the room before ripping one of the tapestry off the wall the throwing it over her dads body. Her siblings watched confused.
"What are you doing?" Apollo asked.
"Well we can't very well see how he died if we can't touch him." Athena said. "Fabric doesn't conduct electricity so safe to use it to grab him. Now either help me, or get out of the way." Athena wrapped part of the tapestry around her father's arm and started pulling him out of the water. Apollo got on the other side and helped pull him out, he then immediately threw the tapestry over his father cause he didn't feel like looking at their dad’s junk.
"I still don't see how a god can die..." Hestia mumbles her eyes still full of tears.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out." Athena said, sitting by Zeus's head and holding her hand over his head. She used her powers and pulled the last of herfather's thoughts from his mind, hoping to get a glimpse of when he died. And she was silently praying that he wasn't having another affair when he died.
Light blue mist came from Zeus had to Athena's hand, which she raised up and waved above her head so her family could see her father's memory. The first thing they saw was Zeus about to step into the bath when he slipped on a small puddle causing him to fall backwards and hitting his head on the edge of the bath. Stunned and in pain, he unintentionally summoned lightning while in the water and electrocuted. The electricity plus the blow to the head killed him almost immediately. The image fades and the gods looked at each other confused and a bit shocked.
"Well....we know how he died." Poseidon mumbled getting slapped by Hera.
"That still doesn't explain HOW a god can die, especially from something thats his own domain." Dionysus said, staring at his dad's body.
"Someone had to have turned him mortal." Athena told him, covering Zeus corpse completely with the tapestry.
"How though?" Hermes asked.
"Idk! Did anything weird happen with father today? Or any strange guests?"
"Father said the wine tasted strange at dinner tonight." Artemis mumbled, uncontrollable with being in the same room as her dad's body. "But other than that everything was normal."
Athena thought for a moment, before a realization came to her and she rushed out of the room, leaving her family confused. Athena quickly headed to the kitchen where Ganymede was, "what did you do!?" Athena yelled.
Ganymede turned and looked at her confused. "What??"
Athena grabbed him by the collar of his toga and pinned him to the wall. "WHAT DID YOU DO!?" She yelled again, more angrily. Her stormy grey eyes scaring the fuck out of the poor god.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Ganymede said, his voice quivering.
"Zeus is dead!" Athena snapped. "He was somehow turned human and the only thing that was out of the ordinary today was him saying the wine tasted off. So I repeat, what did you do!?"
Ganymede looked at her terrified and remorseful. "He wasn't supposed to die.." he mumbled catching Athena off guard. She let go of Ganymede, letting him fall to the ground.
"What do you mean, wasn't supposed to die?" She questioned.
Ganymede stared up at her terrified of what she might do to him. "H..he wasn't supposed to die...I didn't mean for that to happen."
Athena's confusion quickly turned back to angry as she grabbed him by the neck and dragged him back to the bath house, and threw him in front of Zeus's body. Her family all stared in surprise, wondering what the fuck she was doing.
"Thea?" Hermes questioned, not really sure what to ask.
Ganymede stared at the godly kings body in horror. "My gods..."
Athena summoned her sword and held it to the side of his neck, "Start talking, now!"
He looked around slowly at the other gods staring at him. He sighed and answered, "I slipped a potion into his wine. It was supposed to temporarily turn him mortal for like, a week. He was never supposed to die!"
“....you're the reason our king, our father, is dead.?!" Ares yelled.
Ganymede couldn't meet his eyes, "I just wanted him to know the feeling of being mortal. For him to know the pain he causes everyone else. It was never supposed to be permanent."
"Where did you get such a potion?" Hestia asked barely able to keep it together.
"Hecate.'
Athena lowered her sword and turned away, unable to face him anymore without wanting to kill him. Ganymede stared up at her, "Athena please. You have to believe me! This wasn't supposed to happen!" He begged. He knew of all the gods who might spear him, it was her. "Please! You know how he was! He never cared about anyone but himse " Ganymede was cut off bu Ares swinging his sword and cutting his head off.
Athena turned around in horror when she felt the blood splatter hit her back. She stared at her brother and Ganymedes body, his blood mixing with her father's. "What the fuck!?" Athena yelled.
"He killed father!" Ares shouted. "You can't expect me to let him live!"
