Hephaestus, with his dark eyes and dark brown hair, trudged through the abandoned part of Olympus, his heart heavy with concern. At the helm of the group was Poseidon, his face contorted in anger as he led the way. Following closely behind were Hestia, Demeter, and Hera, their expressions varying from worry to disdain.
As they delved deeper into the forgotten realm, a faint glow caught Hephaestus's eye. There, lying on the ground, was Scarlet. Her pale skin, red eyes, and white hair stood out starkly against the dark and dusty surroundings.
Hephaestus's heart skipped a beat as he took in the sight of his sister's broken leg, the bone protruding from her knee. "Zeus has truly abandoned her," he murmured, his voice tinged with sadness.
Poseidon let out a growl, his anger boiling over. "I can't believe he left her here to rot. After everything she's been through."
Demeter stepped forward, her eyes filled with sympathy. "Scarlet was meant to rule Olympus, but Zeus usurped her rightful place."
Hestia's gentle voice broke through the tension. "We should break the curse and tend to Scarlet's injuries."
Hera scoffed, her playful insults never far from her lips. "Oh, Hestia, always so soft-hearted. We should leave her be. She's better off asleep."
Hephaestus, known for his craftsmanship, spoke up. "I can make a splint for her leg."
As he began to work, the goddesses bickered over Scarlet's fate. Hera insisted that Scarlet should remain asleep, while Demeter proposed that they wake her up.
Hephaestus, tired of the incessant arguing, snapped, "Enough! We need to focus on Scarlet's well-being."
The group fell silent, their bickering momentarily halted. Suddenly, they heard a noise. Hephaestus's heart raced as he hid Scarlet and the group of gods and goddesses, not wanting the mortals to discover them.
The mortals left, and the group breathed a sigh of relief. Hephaestus finished the splint and applied it to Scarlet's leg.
The group debated on what to do next. Hera suggested they keep Scarlet's whereabouts a secret, while Hestia proposed they tell the other gods and goddesses.
As the debate raged on, Hephaestus couldn't help but feel a spark of admiration for these strong, controlling, and direct female characters. Their passion and determination were a testament to the power of female leadership. And with Scarlet by their side, they would be unstoppable.
