Demeter tapped her foot impatiently, arms crossed. The silence of Olympus was deafening, and even Athena was beginning to shift uneasily.
There was no one in Olympus. Not a single soul. No gods nor nymphs. It was as if the whole mountain was abandoned.
"Can I leave now?" Poseidon yawned, "I still have my duties."
"Try it and I'll castrate you." Threatened Athena.
Poseidon rolled his eyes, not bothering to dignify her with a response. He crossed his arms, looking at the sky with boredom.
Athena also went silent, standing beside Medusa in a protective manner while glaring at Poseidon.
The place once again went silent.
Finally, Demeter's patience snapped.
"ZEUS!" she roared, her voice reverberating through the divine halls like thunder. "SHOW YOURSELF THIS INSTANT! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!"
There was no reply.
They waited for a few moments, and all they got was more silence.
