[@PerseusArchean][@Cuccoruler] Rhona had entered the portal with Alec and had arrived. She was nervous and held a lingering ill feeling. She had seen the bitterness in Cia's eyes and she knew that it was directed at her and Rhona knew all too well of the reasons. She was weak. She knew that... And she hated it. Rhona clentched her fists. [i]"I'll show her! I'll show her I'm not weak!"[/i] That thought surged through her mind as she passed through the portal. [@PerseusArchean] On the other side lied Olympus. Rhona had arrived in front of the door that lead to the meeting room. She opened the heavy doors. The gods present were already in argument over the aliens. However, one voice in particular had caught her attention. A goddess stating that the aliens should be exterminated. [i]Exterminate.[/i] The word sent a shiver down Rhona's spine. Rage boiled inside her, yet she managed to keep her composure. Rhona took a deep breath and summoned as much of her courage as she could. "NO!" She screamed at the top of her lungs in protest. The room fell silent and all eyes shifted to her. Rhona felt the tension in the air, weighing her down heavily. Her heart raced but she did not stop. "While it's true that the Earth has plenty of mortals already, they have not harmed anyone! They have clearly stated that the wish to coexist peacefully! So why but give them a chance?! We have nothing to lose and everything to gain from taking them in! I know that the past month has been a hard one for all of us... We have all been hard at work to stabilize the mortals. But that does not mean that we should let this cloud our decision! I only ask that give the aliens a chance. Let us meet their gods. Let us learn from them and their reasons for coming! And should anything go wrong, I promise I will take full responsibility!" Rhona was breathing heavily and her heart was racing. Her vision blurred and she felt dizzy, yet she stood tall. She knew that she was not the child of a well known god and that the pantheon she was part of was no longer worshiped but she hoped that they would at least consider the idea.
