On his knees Eros feels the worry cradle deep within him.
He knew after the fail of the ritual that would've determining his powers, he would be called here, on his knees, in front of the council, the highest ranked gods in Olympus, to be judged.
Before him in their seats, peering down at him were Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Dionysus.
He would've never believed one day he'd find himself in this position but it was inevitable, his rebellious acts were bound to land him here but something that lightened his heart was the fact that this time he wasn't just being rebellious for the fun of it, he was being rebellious because his heart was protecting his entire world... you.

He had such powers because of you, your love.
He just had to learn to control himself. It was going to be hard but it was the right thing to do, for you.
"We all had faith in you Eros, we all hoped and believed you'd be the next god of lightning but now that it's not the case what are we to do?" Zeus asks and Eros slowly lifts his eyes to look at him.
"My father could resume his work" Eros proposes but Zeus shakes his head.
"You know your father wishes to step down, that was the plan from the start" he says and Eros nods and looks down
