《Greek gods x reader》3. His world (Hermes x reader)
Advertisement
That morning I decided to go to the museum.
I had the morning free, no work... and actually I didn't have any plans.
I didn't know what to do so I thought I could pass by the museum surprising Lee.
In this way I went.
As I crossed the threshold the bell on the door rang but no one answered nor came to welcome.
" – I though –
Okay I went there without notice but at least a welcome was right to do, but never mind; they were concentrated on working I thought so while waiting for Harry or Lee I decided to take a look around.
I began wandering around the halls admiring every pieces until I heard some voices when I got near the store room; one it was of Lee but the other I couldn't recognize it, but they seem friendly as they were calling each other "brother".
" – I whispered –
I got curious then at that point.
I quietly leaned over to eavesdrop and spy him...
And what I saw was beyond imagination; my eyes widened at the view... I couldn't believe.
There was this sort of hollow mid-air looking like a mirror and it was shining bright; and in this mirror there was an image of a guy with black wavy short hair and a laurel on his head.. and he was giving Lee a letter. What surprised me was the fact that Lee wasn't upset, better he was talking normally with him as if all of that was a routine for him... and indeed they were talking normally as if they didn't even know about my presence behind the door.
However that lasted little because seconds after I spread out the door to look better at the view still shocked.
"L-Lee?" I called him and as he heard his name being called out he jumped on the spot.
I caught him by surprise.
That strange hollow with that strange guy disappeared like magic hoping that he didn't get noticed by me but it wasn't... and Lee hid the paper behind the back.
"W-What are you doing here love?" he asked. "Are you not at work today?".
I didn't answered, better I rushed to him to take the paper.
When I looked at it I got even more confused; on it there were strange letters as if the letter was written in ancient Greek and indeed it was as I recognized some of them.
"A-ancient Greek? What's all of this Lee?" I asked him as I showed in front of his eyes the paper. "And that thing mid-air? Brother? You should tell me something and right now".
"I don't like when you hid something from me" I confessed sadly. "I love you, you don't have to be scared by me and my reactions.".
At that he took my hand and gave me puppy eyes and I couldn't do anything against those, they were my weakness.
"I'm sorry sweetheart" he apologized. "You're right, I should explain you everything."

"Well, you know I told you my family is strange and difficult – he said after a moment of silence – well.. you might be shocked if I were to tell you that in my family we are all gods and goddesses, including me and who you saw, one of my brothers".
Indeed I remained shocked at those words. "G-gods? What does that mean? Real real gods?".
"I imagined you could react like this, I understand but please believe me. I am not joking, I could never joke on such a serious thing like this.".
And right when he finished he got some distance from me and suddenly a bright light surrounded him and it also got me almost blind. When I opened my eyes again when that light went off I saw Lee in totally different clothes... his trousers and t-shirt weren't on him but different and odd clothes; he was totally a new person and from him I could feel a regal powerful aura.
He was wearing a strange golden one-shoulder dress that had a short skirt that ended right at the start of the thigh; could that be a toga of the ancient Greeks I asked myself. And he was wearing also a pair of golden knee length gladiators sandals with wings attached on the heels and in his hand
he was holding a golden sceptre; there were two snakes twirling around it and where there were their mouths – at the top of the cane – there were two opened wings.
"What's all of this?" I pointed at his whole body.
"This, sweetheart, is my true form" he told. "My godly form... In reality I am one of the many Greek gods; I am Hermes".
I thought I was going insane, my legs were trembling.
"I...I...I just..." I couldn't speak well for the shock and Lee noticed. He came near me, he took my hands in his and then he lifted my face with his index to talk to me in the eyes.
"I may be a god or anything else but this doesn't change my love for you. God or human I love you" He smiled; somehow that lifted me up, my heart returned normal and I smiled at him.
I took a moment for me to absorb all those news.
"Y/n my love, don't be scared, you're not getting crazy and I can prove it to you" Lee, Hermes now, reassured me by cupping my face in a loving way.
"What you mean by this?".
"I'm going to show you everything" he told. "My home, my family".
After that he hugged me close to his chest.
"Hold on me tight" Lee invited me and I did as he told. Why should I hold on him tight I didn't know but not even a second after I felt our feet getting off the ground; there I understood well why and being a bit scared I grabbed onto him really tight and closed my eyes.

The wings on the heels began flapping and then I felt us being teleported somewhere through something.
"Open your eyes my love" Hermes told me. "Look at the view, not everyone gets to see this".
I did so and indeed he was right! For a moment I forgot being scared and mid-air and I remained in awe. We were high in the sky flying with birds around and miles below us there was land surrounded by the sea.
"Is this Greece?".
He nodded. "To be more precise it is ancient Greece".
Whaaaat? Not only we moved in another place but also back in time! Woow! Awesome!
He was right.. getting a bit lower but still getting distance not to be seen by people we saw big temples; they were all amazing. I was finally living what I loved, the magic and wonderful atmosphere of ancient Greece. Then we returned high in the sky and flew towards a mountain; and as we saw it I assumed it was Mount Olympus for his huge dimension. We flew upwards following the slope and when we arrived at its top – miles and miles over the clouds – a huge extension of green was in front of my eyes.
"Woow" I let out an exclamation of wonder as I couldn't believe my eyes for the wonder I was looking at.
"Welcome to my home" Hermes greeted me with a smile. "...On the Olympus".
I wandered for a while around the place until Hermes called me back.
"Love" he called for me "you should wear more suitable clothes. I mean, we are not used at trousers and t-shirt here".
And as he spoke he used his powers on me and by magic my clothes changed in a dress; it was a long golden sleeveless dress and its hem and upper part was full of embroideries.
I couldn't see very well myself with it but a smile on Hermes' face was telling I was good-looking.
"You're so beautiful" he told me and then took my hand. "Now let's go".
As we walked I began feeling anxious. If he was right I would see his family of only deities and that made me unease as I was the only mortal there and I felt I shouldn't be there.
"Don't be scared sweetie" he reassured me and a moment later we stopped in an open place... where there was people; there I assumed they were his family.
Without any reasons I began trembling and my eyes wandered all the place examining all the people.
"Oh". That was all I was able to say... until when I met up with someone; it was him!
"Y-you... you're the guy in the strange mirror!" I exclaimed as I pointed at the good-looking boy with black short hair wavy hair.
Some began laughing other to look menacing at him but in a moment everything turned to normal of not serious when a man with light brown short hair stood up, looking regal; he had such a powerful aura and looking angry he looked even more menacing and I got scared.
"Apollo! You son!" he scolded him sternly with a rumbling voice. "You let a human see you and you didn't do anything about this?".
A murmured apologize was to be heard. "Sorry father".
F-Father? Was that man supposed to be Zeus the almighty god? Oh heavens!
"And what about you Hermes! You brought one here to our heavenly home!".
Despite his brother, Hermes didn't waver at those words better he stood at my side noticing I was getting even more scared.
He took my hand suddenly and then talked back to his father. "Don't talk to her as if she's just a mere human!".
"But she is". Zeus was right; what he was up to? What did he want from me or worse to do at me?
"M-Maybe your father is right... what do I do here among you gods?" I asked Hermes as I turned to look at him. He noticed and knew his father gave me quite a scare because my hands were trembling in his and tears were blurring my sight.
He caressed me and shook his head.
"I'm not leaving you" he told as he caressed me weeping tears away. "I love you and I want you by my side forever".
Then we stood quiet looking at each other while he was reassuring me, all under everyone's eyes but we didn't care.
However that moment lasted little...
An hand on my shoulder brought me back to reality making me jump.
I gasped as I turned to see who might be.
In front of me there was an amazing woman and by her regal appearance and age I thought she could be his mother.
"I apologize for my husband. He gave you quite a scare to you, eh?" she asked and as I nodded she smiled.
"You're such a beautiful lady and I couldn't ask for anybody else for my son – she kept on – if he cares for you so deeply and love you a lot I don't care for anything else.".
"Your son is really wonderful and he takes care of me a lot" I answered nicely "... and I love him a lot. I could never think to betray him for anyone else".
"Well that's good" his mother smiled.
There was a moment of silence where she examined me and as she was studying me I felt a bit uncomfortable but then when a smile formed on her face I let out a sigh of relief.
"I am Hera" she greeted me waving hands. "Welcome to our family, my dear".
Looking at Hermes I smiled brightly; we would spend really lots of years together if not the whole eternity and I couldn't ask for anything else for me and my love.

Life of a Core
After a disembodied voice had told him he was what amounted to an exceptionally talented rock, it had been hard to not let it go to his non-existent head. Until, random chance had decided to give him a square kick in the minerals. Which had in turn forced him to fend for himself in an unknown land, all while he attempted to make sense of his place in the world. Truthfully though, all he had really wanted to do from the start had been to bury himself a hundred feet below the ground and be left to his own devices. Yet, for one reason or another, nobody ever seemed willing to leave the dungeon-building core alone long enough to actually make one. Each chapter will average around two to three thousand words, the release schedule is still a WIP but you should expect the first six chapters to be released over the next six days. This is planned out as a dungeon building fiction, but don't expect it right off the bat! The story is a depiction of the everyday adventures (alongside an overarching plot) of what I imagine a dungeon core would experience when thrust into a random environment where everything and everyone tried to covet or eat him. I also really enjoy reading the comments and reviews people leave and would love to get some reader involvement with the story itself, likely through polls at the end of each chapter. I hope you enjoy my story! (If you feel like some of the characters seem familiar, you may have read some older work I wrote a while back under a different account. If you happen to be one of my old readers and recognize the similarities, I'm happy to have you back!)
