The grand feast of the gods was in full swing, the great hall of Mount Olympus echoing with the sounds of laughter and conversation. Aniya, the goddess of sins and ruler of Tartarus, sat amongst the other deities, her tan skin glowing in the soft light, her curly brown hair cascading down her shoulders. She was drunk and in high spirits, regaling the company with tales of her and Hera’s recent adventures.
“And then, I turned to Hera and said, ‘Hera, my love, I do believe this wine has gone straight to my head.’ And she laughed and said, ‘Aniya, my dear, you have always been the lighthearted one.’” Aniya’s words flowed like honey, her voice dripping with mischief.
As Aniya told her story, she noticed Hera growing increasingly tense and agitated. Finally, Hera cut Aniya off mid-sentence, causing the other gods to lean in, eager to hear the rest of the story.
Zeus, ever the curious one, prompted Aniya to continue. “So, like I was saying, I left to do my make-up and 30 minutes later, after I came back, I couldn’t find Hera anywhere. I started walking around, looking for her, and I found one of her high heels near a door.”
Aniya’s words hung heavy in the air as she continued her tale. “I nearly knocked down the door, thinking something terrible had happened to Hera. And when I finally burst in, there she was, hooking up with some random guy. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, girl, you are married! You can’t be doing this!’ And Hera just looked at me and said, ‘Fuck Zeus and fuck marriage.’”
The room was silent as Aniya finished her tale. Hera’s face was a mask of anger, but Aniya just grinned at her, unrepentant. “So, of course, I made her put on her clothes and we left. And then, wouldn’t you know it, Hera found out she was pregnant and lied to Zeus, saying the kid was his. And that’s how Hephaestus came to be.”
The room erupted into chaos as the gods and goddesses reacted to Aniya’s words. Hera jumped to her feet, her face red with anger. “How dare you, Aniya! You have no right to tell that story!”
Aniya just laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Oh, come on, Hera. It’s just a little harmless gossip. Lighten up!”
Hera glared at Aniya, her hands clenched into fists. But before she could say another word, Zeus spoke up. “Aniya, you have a gift for storytelling. But perhaps it’s best if you leave the tales of Hera and I to us.”
Aniya nodded, chastened. “Of course, Zeus. I apologize if I overstepped my bounds.”
Hera stormed out of the feast, her anger palpable. Aniya watched her go, a small smile playing on her lips. “Well, that was fun,” she said to no one in particular.
The feast continued, but the mood had been soured. Aniya, sensing the tension, excused herself and slipped away, her mind still on the story she just told.
As she walked through the halls of Mount Olympus, Aniya couldn’t help but chuckle to herself. “Fuck Zeus and fuck marriage,” she muttered under her breath. “I can’t believe Hera actually said that.”
Aniya made her way to her chambers, her mind still racing with thoughts of Hera and the story she just told. She collapsed onto her bed, her laughter echoing through the empty room.
As she drifted off to sleep, Aniya couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She may be the goddess of sins, but she’s also a master storyteller. And she knew that her tale of Hera and the random guy would be remembered for generations to come.
And as the night wore on, Aniya’s laughter faded, replaced by a deep and contented sleep. She knew that she had lived up to her title as the goddess of sins, and she couldn’t be happier.
