Zeus walked alongside the beautiful gardens that covered Olympus, various sacred flowers and plants thriving in the rich soil. His duties were cared for and his children busy, Hera had gone to help a fellow god and although there were many things happening on Olympus he felt as if he was the only one there. The sky was clear and small white clouds floated by overhead. It was truly a peaceful day to behold.
His gaze lifted to see someone walking about, as he was and upon closer inspection he instantly recognized the elegant posture and curled black hair. He knew it was Aphrodite by way the wind brushed against his skin, he felt love around him because of her. She truly was blessed. He fastened his pace to fall into step next to his daughter, she seemed startled but he saw what it was she had been looking at.
One of the many rose bushes had fallen prey to death and was hanging limply to the side. This was a sacred flower of Aphrodite and he intended to heal it. But a better thought crossed his mind, Artemis had been birthed with an affinity to nature and upon a hunt he accompanied she'd taught him how to manipulate plants.
"Aphrodite my dear, are you alright?" her mind looked preoccupied and worried, he knew not if this was about something personal or the wilting flower, perhaps both? He took her palms in his with a gentle smile.
"Your sister, Artemis taught me something valuable, it is not easy for us as it is for her but I would like to teach you if you want to learn?" he asked her glancing at the broken plant and then at his daughter. She was truly the embodiment of beauty itself, blessed to be the most beautiful in all the realms. But sadness did not look good upon her and he wished to relieve her of it.
