If you have a golden apple, who would you give it to?
At the banquet, Lorne, who was invited, saw the golden apple on the plate engraved with the words "To the Fairest," as well as the three goddesses in front of him caught in a dispute.
The matter was quite troublesome and anyone would be panicked however,
Not him.
He smiled, picked up a knife and completed the process in three steps.
The first step was to peel the skin, and he gave the peel to Aphrodite.
"To be honest, you are indeed quite beautiful. As a layer of skin, it’s still passable."
The second step was to cut the flesh, and he gave the flesh to Hera.
"You are the queen of heaven, but everyone on Olympus, from eight hundred years old to the beasts, can cuckold you, including men, women, and even goats.
Since your dignity is already lost, I’ll give you the substance."
The third step was to give the remaining core to Athena.
"You were supposed to be born as a male god to inherit Zeus’s throne, but because of Zeus, you lost your seed. So, I’ll give you this seed."
And it was done..
Looking at Aphrodite, clenching her fists, Hera, raising her scepter, Athena, summoning her spear and shield, Lorne quickly stepped back, firmly shielding the goddess of discord, Eris, in front of him.
"And you still want to be the goddess of discord? Look at me, I made them unite in an instant. Even your provocation isn’t as effective as mine."
"..."
Looking at the Greek gods around them sharpening their knives, Eris fell into silence.
It’s boring as hell with nothing of note occurring on but a gambling game that he of course losses and then makes up so excuse to do double or nothing which is bull. Otherwise the character are bland and lack depth and the author is trying very hard to make him seem smart, but the author isn’t skilled enough to pull it off so it fail miserably.
still early but it seems great.
An Interesting read. Seem to have neither to fast of story pace or too slow of one
