Chapter 1 - Ethos

In the large chamber of Olympus, for the first time, eveyeone looked very tense. The queen of Olympus is going to give birth and according to the prophecy it's a boy. Zeus is anxious about the prophecy yet he can't move against Hera. She shared his authority, the dominion over sky. She is a part of his power now, as he is to her.

If he broke the marriage then he will lose this part of power. He is more concerned about the child. He hoped it will be a muscle brain like Ares or unenthusiatic like Haphaestus. The main gods of Olympus are gathered in the main throne room. The situation is tense. No one spoke a word.

Apollo and Artemis looked amused as they heard the screams of Hera and saw the anxiousness of Zeus. Their mother suffered in hands of Hera and they're hunted down by her at the beginning, for them what's happening here is amusement. Although Artemis felt a little sympathy for her half brother who is going to be targetted since his birth.

Then there is Athena, the always wise goddess who is making plans in advance. No one knows what's going on in that head of hers. Ares looked anxious hearing his mother's scream vowing to beat his brother once he grew up to age for this suffering. Aphrodite looked nonchalant. Haphaestus just wants this to be over so he can go back to the forge.

Then there is Prometheus who haven't yet got punished for giving humans the fire of Olympus. He is looking into the future but finds nothing except pitch black darkness. Poseidon looked quite relaxed. Whatever is happening, it's his brothers headache not his.

Demeter looked expressionless, Hestia is also there, just standing there in a corner tending to the hearth in silence. Hermes though is looking around reading everyone's expression. The queen of heaven refused to allow anyone to enter the chamber.

As a loud scream appeared, a cry of baby also accompanied that. Zeus stood up and made his way to the room, the aura around Olympus started changing. Thunder brewed in the sky, yet there is an aura of calmness that spread because of the birth of a new god. Except this calm aura that amplified and calmed their restless emotions they knew nothing.

Inside the chamber, Hera held the infant in her hands with vigilance. Zeus pushed away the nymphs and minor gods obstructing him, his body radiating lightning, his expression stern and serious. Hera held the infant in fear. Zeus looked at the infant, for the first time, the God King is extremely confused about what to do.

The Goddess of Fate, Ananke. The 3 sisters of Fate, Prometheus and even the witch of cross roads can't see the future of this boy. His presence messed up a fate that is already set in stone. Hera looked at Zeus with fear and anxiousness.

She spoke with a weak tone," Zeus, he is our son ", Zeus looked at the sleeping infant, his mind reeled several plans before he settled on one. For now he will observe this boy. The lightning around him disappeared. The serious look turned into a soft gaze, a false one of course. The king of Gods is very good at acting, he learned long ago, how to deceive people, especially women with his acting.

Zeus held Hera into a gentle embrace and kissed her forehead," I won't harm him unless he rebels against me and threatens my rule. This is my word to you ", he turned to the infant and thought,' better stay obedient like your brothers and sisters if you don't want to end in Tartarus my son '.

Hera breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against Zeus before falling asleep. The word of God King has a power, he needs to uphold his oath no matter what. For now, this is enough for her. Zeus let her sleep on the bed and turned to the infant sleeping beside her. Unlike Ares and Haphaestus, he inherited his and Hera's looks, at least the face is very good looking for now.

Zeus placed his hand on the head of the infant and said sensed the power within him. Then he frowned," Emotions, Desires, Mind, Fire and Darkness. A very strange combination of divinities. From now on, you'll be known as Ethos ", he named the boy before leaving.

Since then, it marks the beginning of the God of Emotions and Desires in Greek Mythology. The most under estimated God who became one of the strongest in the Greek mythology itself and one who broke arranged fate.

After Zeus left several others appeared in the room. Namely, Ananke, and the 3 sisters of Fate. They looked at the boy with a complicated gaze, because of this single variable, the arranged fate is already quite disturbed and there is no known future here anymore. Even if they wanted to weave something involving the boy, the threads are not binding him.

Meanwhile Ethos opened his eyes and looked around. He felt strange, looking at the woman holding him, he is quite surprised, she is very beautiful. She looked at him tenderly. Ethos felt a very very weird feeling when he looked at her. Like he is very familiar with her yet he have never met her.

Wait a minute, she looks quite big, or is it that? Oh no, Ethos raised his hand with difficulty and then he froze. It's a baby hand. ' please don't tell me I'm isekai'ed ', unfortunately for him, he indeed got reincarnated. The woman started cooing him like a baby. Yep, he reincarnated and into a strange world indeed. What is this greek style clothing? Could he be reborn in Greek mediaeval era. If so, he felt dread.

Looking at him like that, Hera felt anxious, she started cradling him in her arms to cheer her infant son. Ethos also realised he is making the woman, who may be his mother very anxious. So he gave her a innocent smile. Only then she smiled in relief looking at him.
