האל החדש באולימפוס- סיפור לזכר קוו../images/Emo54.gif
סיפור קצר שנכתב לאחר שקווין נלקח מאיתנו. בעיקרון, ארס מנסה לשכנע את אלי האולימפוס לצרף אליהם את קווין כאל מן המניין. האלים מדסקסים את הסדרה שהחזירה אותם למודעות בני התמותה ותוהים אם זו באמת סיבה מספקת להיענות לבקשתו. גם זינה וגבריאל מופיעות בסיפור... הסיפור לקוח מהאתר של forevaxena, מדף ההנצחה לקווין. The Newest God Of Olympus by L. M. Townsend (AKA Queen Laesë) Disclaimers: Summary: Ares asks the other gods to allow the actor who portrayed him to join them on Olympus. The gods discuss the TV series which has brought them back to the attention of mortals and try to decide if this is reason enough to reward the mortals who portrayed the characters in the show with a place in the sacred residence of the gods. I hope no one takes offence at this offering - I mean it as a tribute to Mr. Smith - and perhaps a way of resolving this tragedy in my own mind. In no way do I mean to be hurtful, tactless, or frivolous in the face of this tragedy. I realise that many are sensitive about this right now. If it will bother you to read this, please don‛t. The characters of Xena, Gabrielle, and Joxer belong to their creators and anyone else who has managed to obtain the legal rights to them. I have also used the names of real people in this story, specifically, Kevin Smith and "Alex", referring to the actress who plays Aphrodite. Spoilers: Specifically, there are spoilers for "Is There a Doctor In the House?", "Deliverer", "Gabrielle‛s Hope", "Ides of March", "Amphipolis Under Siege" There are also references to other episodes, but I don‛t think any that give anything away in them. Subtext: This story implies that Xena and Gabrielle are a couple in the romantic sense of the word, but there is certainly nothing explicit. Feedback: Any feedback is welcome.

Zeus had called them all together in old Great Hall on Olympus, still hidden from mortal eyes by godly magic. Few of them had been there since they had receded from mortal minds aeons ago. Over the past five or six years, however, one by one, they were returning to their ancient - and favoured - home, settling back in. Now they were all here. Most had taken different names, as pantheons came and went, but all were still working "behind the scenes" as it were, still doing what they did best. Ares was already there when the rest arrived, pacing in a most agitated way. "Ares," Zeus thundered, but not unkindly. "Desist." Ares stood still, but the tension in his body was palpable, as was the general air of confusion. Hestia had started picking up the debris around the long-unused Hall, producing a broom and dusting cloth. In minutes the Great Hall of Olympus, although no longer sparkling with its former glory was at least tolerable. "I have called you all here to announce some sad news in the world of mortals," said the king of the gods. "Mortals," said Athena with a tinge of disgust. "Shut up, Athena," said Ares with a growl. "Stop bickering you two!" said Zeus, sternly. He turned to the rest of the gathering of gods. "The mortal, Kevin Smith is crossing over." "No wonder you‛re so upset, Ares," said Aphrodite, kindly. "I‛m sorry. "He played me to perfection," said the god of war. "No, better than perfect - he actually made people <like> me. Even at the height of my power, no one really liked me." "Surprise, surprise," muttered Athena. Ares began to move towards her menacingly, but Zeus put out a hand to stop him. "Athena," he said, sharply. "That will be enough." Athena looked startled. As "Daddy‛s Girl", she wasn‛t accustomed to being scolded by Zeus. "In a way, he <was> me," said Ares, quietly. "Only better looking," chuckled Artemis. One look from Zeus was enough to quell the coming conflict between Ares and his other sister. "What happened?" asked Demeter. "I‛m not sure of the details," said Ares, sadly. "The mortals have not been too forthcoming with information. All I know is that he took a pretty bad fall. I tried talking with the Fates, but ... well, you know how they are. Just go on about how there‛s a reason for everything, but they won‛t say what it is." "Well, if the Fates are behind it, then there‛s really nothing we can do," said Persephone. Her time with Hades was nearly over, but she had already been thinking of searching through the Fields for this mortal after he crossed over and perhaps releasing him back to the earth above - if he wished it. "That‛s true," said Hera, patting her distraught son‛s hand. "So where were <you> when it happened?" asked Athena, still sulking after the rebuke from her father. "I thought all you ‛Xenite‛ gods were watching over your mortals? "Oh, my!" said Aphrodite. "She‛s right! I need to go and check on Alex!" "Never mind that," said Zeus, stopping the goddess of love. "I have stopped time on earth for a bit until we decide this matter." "What matter?" asked Apollo, miffed that his father had interfered with his realm and didn‛t even let him know first. "There has been a request that we bring Kevin here - to Olympus," said Zeus. All the assembled looked at Ares. "Hey, it‛s not like the precedent hasn‛t been set," said the god of war. "Yes and by <you>," said Athena, bitterly. "What <does> Xena say about all this?" asked Hephaestus. "Ah, you know how she is," said Ares, shrugging. "Gabrielle is crying her eyes out, but Xena just sits there, sharpening that sword of hers and says nothing. She‛s upset, but getting her to say so is like ... well, like getting the Fates to take this back - impossible."
