Zues was enraged with anger when he had heard the news about his son. He turned the sky black and sent lightning shocks through the sky and struck down bolts of lightning and set houses, barns, and whole villages on fire.the winds from the storm were so mighty that even the strongst of men could not stand.

Hades, king of the Underworld watched as they sat upon the moon, and he began to feel slightly jealous. Hades decides to have a visit with the two, and that he would try to make the Moon his own. The two noticed Hades, and Artemis quickly got up to defend Cameron, pulling out her bow and arrow and quickly pointing it over to Hades. Hades raises his hands as he cautiously says “Please forgive me if I scared you, may I sit?” He asked delightfully. Artemis accepts the truce carefully, but she keeps an eye on Hades. As Artemis sat down next to Cameron, Hades joined them in their chat. Soon after the chat, Hades found a good spot in the talk to speak of a challenge and luckily, she accepted .Then she asked about what they would be doing in the challenge, and began to be tense. He tells her that they must fight hand-to-hand, and no elemental powers could be used. She is fair, and she decided to battle him. After he heard this, he told her if he won, he would be able to own some of the moon on certain days. She realizes that he has cheated, so she tried to decline, but Hades re-assured her that she had already accepted, and that she had no choice, so she had to battle Hades and risk the Moon. Watching them battle, Cameron hid behind a large rock in shock. At the end of the fight, Artemis was tossed far off from Hades and Cameron, and Hades got the chance to kill Cameron. He gripped Cameron by the neck, and chunks her off of the moon, and she falls down to her death. Artemis raised her head to see Cameron falling quicker than ever. “No! How dare you kill her? She wasn’t a part of the challenge!” Artemis says as a tear falls down her cheek. “No matter! The moon is mine on the days I wish to have it!” Hades says as he laughed. Artemis once again sadly agrees to the challenge, realizes that now she can only keep Cameron in her heart. This changed the environment by making the moon dark on some sides, most of the time the moon was completely dark. Occasionally, the moon would be full again, but it would remain dark for the rest of it’s existence. Artemis still sits on the moon, but does it alone, except for whenever Hades makes more room for darkness.

Poseidon is the King of Sea. Nobody’s oceans were better than his. Whenever he heard a mortal saying his oceans were better than his, he was furious. He couldn’t believe it, so he disguised himself and went to Pluto, because he was so anxious to know, what was so great about his waters that made them better than Poseidon. “Don’t just wonder for the whole day, ask him why he said that”, Poseidon thought in his head. So finally Poseidon asked him. He replied “My waters are the purest blue, saltiest, cleanest, and the prettiest waters you’re ever going to see! If you don’t think so, we’ll have a contest! Okay what shall this so called “contest” be? Poseidon was a little uneasy about the contest but, he was going to defend his title. Freddy said the challenge would be for the two to drink their ocean water, and to see who could stay in their ocean water. Both Poseidon and Freddy would be watched. As soon as Poseidon got back from Pluto, he called and the challenge began. Freddy and Poseidon were chilling, messing around. But Poseidon got so bored he gave up. Not 10 minutes later, Freddy came up from his ocean. Poseidon was furiously mad, huffing and puffing the whole way to Freddy’s oceans. Poseidon confronted Freddy and threw a humongous fit in his waters. They begin to argue over who won. Since all this arguing was going on, Zeus came in. He said, “Since you two have been fighting so much, we will not have a king!” He separated both of their waters, with a piece of land. This is why all oceans were separated, and all have different names.

Hestia was the goddess of hearth and home. She was the mother or wife of all gods and goddesses. She was also a very beautiful woman. Hestia made the most scrumptious dishes, she would clean and make the house sparkly clean, and she would make the most beautiful and elegant gowns. One day while she was sewing a gown a messenger came with a letter from a mortal girl named Heidi, who made a living off of cleaning, cooking and doing other things for the King. Heidi said, “I believe that I, Heidi, can clean a house spotless, cook delicious dishes, and sew the most beautiful gowns. I also believe, that I can do all of this better than you.”This made Hestia very mad. Hestia sent a letter back to Heidi saying that if that was what Heidi believed, then they would have a competition to clean the King’s castle, cook him a dinner, and make a gown for his daughter. Hestia said that the judge would be the King and his daughter. Whoever won the competition would be declared, “Most motherly”. Hestia and Heidi prepared for the event for two years. Hestia was confident that she was going to win, so she didn’t surrender. Heidi felt the same. Finally, the day came for the event. They both gathered all of the supplies they felt they needed, form sewing thread to cooking ingredients. The King split the castle evenly between the two girls and they set off. Hestia was cooking roasted turkey with several other items. Heidi was making ham with vegetables. They served the King and went to cleaning. It took Hestia ten hours to cook and clean. It took Heidi nine hours and thirty minutes to cook and clean. After that, they started making the King’s daughter gown. Hestia went with an elegant white. Heidi went with a traditional, yet beautiful, red. Then the King and his daughter announced that Heidi had won the competition. Hestia was furious. Hestia told Heidi that everyday she thinks of Hestia, she shall cry, and cry until she has no more tears. Then Hestia put the spell on her. Today when Heidi thinks of Hestia she cries. This is what we call rain.
