Zoe looked at Elizabeth, with a What should we do? look. They had to gain their trust, or someone else, namely Hades, might gain it instead.
"Please trust us, Luna. We're only here to help." She smiled warmly.

"How am I supposed to know that your telling the truth?" Luna exclaimed helplessly, "How can I trust when I don't even know you AND knowing that you have already lied to me! For all I know you could be...be...a santreigo hunter and you could be trying to trick me into the telling you the where abouts of my santreigo, Klanste!"
Luna stopped talking for a moment and replayed what she'd just said through her mind, before giving Zoe a suspious look and finally glaring at her, "You're not a hunter, are you?"

Hera laughed, and looked at Elizabeth. "If she wants a hunter, she should see Artemis." She smiled at Luna, "I want to tell you the truth, I feel like I can trust you, but I'm not really sure the wants me too. At least not yet." She looked around for Poseidon.

"Who? Who doesn't want you to? What is the truth? Who are you and how is it that you just 'happened' to be in the same place at the same time as me and my class mates!" Luna bombared Zoe with her unanswered questions, longing for a truthful answer to at least one of them if not all of them.

Hera felt horrible not being able to answer the mortals questions, Aphrodite had done it and Poseidon was hysterical with her. "Please trust me," Hera pleaded. "I would never lie to you, considering what all is going on."

Luna felt flames roar inside her, as her expression became stoney and her fists clenched, "I am sorry, but I could never trust a liar...maybe that is one of the reasons, except for the obvious, that I have no friends in my own house...because everyone seems to lie except me! Well, here's a news flash, I'm not going to change myself just because the people around me don't like who I am!"

The clouds began to look dark, this girl was just not understanding. Why would Hera, Queen of the Gods, lie? Now she was going on about changing her? No wonder she said she had no friends. "No one is trying to change you girl!! You ask me all these questions, I have the answers, but I can't tell you!" She began to calm down and the clouds began to lighten with her mood. "Don't you understand?" She pleaded.

Luna gasped in shock as the sky turned a dark black and just as quickly turned to a clear blue. She suddenly felt overwhelmed with great respect for this girl who she hardly knew, "Who are you?" She asked in awe, her mouth hanging open as she stared at the girl in amazement.

Athena looked as the two quarreled back and forth for a little. Then the girl who had been changing her name seemed to be in great awe. Oh no.. She looked up at the sky and saw that the sky had changed to a dark color when Hera had gotten mad. Hopefully nothing bad would happen. Athena held her thoughts in her head and didn't let them escape to her expression.

Luna looked up Elizabeth and back at Zoe. "Are you...witches?" She asked. No, they couldn't be. She was a witch and she most definitely could not turn the sky a different colour, just because she was in a bad mood. Think Luna, she scolded, think ancient greece...Luna thought back to the one book she'd read on the subject and suddenly everything seemed to fall into place. Her eye's widened in shock and her mouth hung open, "You're gods!"

Post by Poseidon on Sept 3, 2005 8:45:48 GMT -5
Poseidon swept down Mt. Olympus, the wheels on his chariot racing like they never had before. Combing over the green plains north of Athens, Poseidon snapped the whip and his horses sped up. He completely avoided the blooming city and continued down the mainland of Greece, riding along-side the coast as he neared the piece of land that held Sparta. Finding himself on a hill, Poseidon leaned up over the chariot and looked down upon the humongous kingdom. They had done so well in the past year, now that Zeus had not been there to stop them from growing. He realized the once-king god had been right. Sparta was now the size of a kingdom ready to become an empire. He would have to do something about that later. Making his way westward, Poseidon came upon the beautiful city of Olympia. He recalled the formation, having once blessed the waters with a plentiful surplus of fish. It was truly a holy city. Finding himself at the gates, he found the goddesses who had been mentally calling for him. He reduced his size to that of a mortal, but kept his form, simply changing his merman tail to legs and sporting a robe-like outfit. "Now where is the observant one," Poseidon asked with curiosity, his eyes scanning the surroundings and finding nothing. They shot downward, and a rather small girl was standing before him. "Ah," He smiled, trying to show the girl that they were indeed compassionate.

Luna felt her dizziness take over, as she slowly turned around. Her eyes started looking at the ground and worked their way up to Poseidon's face. She gave him a weak smile and promptly fainted.

Hera rushed over, pulling the fainted child's head on her lap. This must've been too much for the poor child. She shook the child lightly. "Child, child. My darling wake up, everything is okay."

Luna slowly gained conciousness. She tried to open her eyes, but her vision was blurred. Sitting up, she buried her head in her arms and groaned, waiting for her sight to improve. When it finally cleared, she looked around. No sign of them anywhere.
"Thank god..." Luna sighed in relief, "It was all just a dream!" Smiling happily, she helped herself back onto her feet. A cough sounded from behind her and she turned around, fearing the worst and unfortunately her suspiousions were correct.
"Damn it!" She yelled, stamping her foot and glaring at the strange man in his chariot and at the two girls still standing side by side, "Okay, so we've figured that you are real...and I have a weird feeling that you are gods and seen as you haven't denied it yet...am I right?"

Hera nodded. She knew that Poseidon would be upset with her, she would take the blame. "I am," she wasn't sure if she should expose Athena if the mortal hadn't notice. "My name is Hera, and I am the Queen of the Gods. My husband, Zeus, had been taken. And we believe that you mortals -- yes there are others, I believe that some people called 'Gryffindors'-- have been caught up in this terrible war."
