**Chapter 2: Meeting the Harem**

As Percy stood in the grand throne room, still reeling from his transformation into a god, he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation. The gods and goddesses had dispersed, leaving him alone with his thoughts and the promise of a new life surrounded by his harem of adoring worshippers. But now, it was time to meet the women who would be at his command. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, stepped forward, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Well, well, well, look what we have here," she said, her voice dripping with seduction. "The new god, and so handsome too." Percy's face flushed as Aphrodite sauntered towards him, her curves swaying with every step. She reached out a hand and gently touched his cheek, sending shivers down his spine. "Welcome to your new life, Percy," she whispered, her breath hot against his skin. "I must say, I'm intrigued by your...potential." Next to Aphrodite stood Eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth, her gentle smile radiating warmth. "Congratulations, Percy," she said, her voice soft and soothing. "I look forward to getting to know you better." As Percy exchanged pleasantries with Aphrodite and Eileithyia, he couldn't help but notice the other women in the room. There were several demigoddesses, each one more stunning than the last. Some were armed with swords and shields, while others wore elegant gowns that showcased their beauty. One of the demigoddesses, a fierce warrior with short, spiky hair and piercing blue eyes, caught his attention. She stood tall, her arms crossed over her chest, and a hint of defiance in her gaze. "Who is that?" Percy asked Aphrodite, nodding towards the warrior. "Ah, that's Kerenza," Aphrodite replied, her voice low and conspiratorial. "She's a bit of a rebel, but don't worry, she'll come around once she gets to know you." Percy's eyes lingered on Kerenza, sensing a spark of tension between them. He couldn't help but feel drawn to her fiery spirit and striking appearance. As he continued to meet the members of his harem, Percy began to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of beautiful women surrounding him. There was Medea, a powerful sorceress with long, curly hair and piercing green eyes. There was also a group of nymphs, their delicate features and mischievous grins captivating. Aphrodite took Percy's hand, leading him towards the group of women. "Let's get to know each other better, shall we?" she suggested, her eyes sparkling with mirth. As the evening wore on, Percy found himself engaged in conversations with his harem, learning about their interests, powers, and personalities. He discovered that each one was unique, with their own strengths and weaknesses. Eileithyia, for instance, was fascinated by the prospect of using her powers to help Percy create new life. Medea, on the other hand, was eager to teach him about the intricacies of magic. The nymphs, with their playful nature, seemed to enjoy teasing Percy, testing his boundaries and pushing him to laugh. Kerenza, however, remained aloof, watching him with a critical eye. As the night drew to a close, Percy realized that he had a lot to learn about his new role as a god and the women who were now at his command. He felt a mix of excitement and trepidation, knowing that his actions would have consequences. But for now, he was content to simply enjoy the company of his harem, getting to know them better and exploring the possibilities of his new life as a god. The evening had been a whirlwind of introductions and conversations, but Percy knew that this was just the beginning. He had a feeling that his life was about to become a lot more complicated – and a lot more interesting.
