"And then, I found Hera in a compromising position with a random mortal," Aniya said, a wicked smile on her face.
Hera, the queen of the gods, suddenly interrupted Aniya, shooting her a suspicious look. "That's not how it happened," she said stiffly.
Aniya raised an eyebrow at Hera, playfully insulting her for being a prude. "Oh, come now, Hera. You can't deny that you were caught with your pants down, so to speak."
Zeus, the king of the gods, told Aniya to continue her story. Aniya smirked and obliged, launching back into her tale. "As I was saying, I dragged Hera out of the room, furious at her betrayal. I took her back to her chambers and refused to let her leave for weeks."
Hera, desperate to cover up her indiscretion, claimed that she was pregnant with Zeus' child. Aniya snorted at the memory, finding it hilarious that Hera thought she could pull off such a lie.
Eight weeks later, Hera gave birth to a son, Hephaestus. He had tan skin like Aniya and dark brown hair that could turn heads, but what really should have given away Hera's secret was the fact that he was Mexican.
Aniya couldn't believe that Zeus didn't notice the truth, but she kept her amusement to herself. She continued her story, reveling in the shocked expressions of the other gods and goddesses.
As she finished her tale, Aniya looked around the room, her eyes sparkling with mischief. She knew that she had once again proven herself to be the strongest and most controlling goddess in Tartarus.
The feast continued, but Aniya's story lingered in the air, a reminder of her power and cunning. She leaned back in her throne, a satisfied smile on her face. She knew that she was the true ruler of Tartarus, and no one could challenge her.
"Aniya, you always know how to liven up a party," said Dionysus, the god of wine and festivities.
Aniya winked at him. "That's what being the goddess of sins is all about."
The conversation turned to other topics, but Aniya's story was still on everyone's mind. She had a way of commanding attention, of making sure that everyone in the room knew that she was in charge. And as the night wore on, it became clear that Aniya was not just the goddess of sins, but the goddess of the feast as well.
