Just a short one-shot, following the "Clash of the Titans" movie canon. Another, longer "Clash of the Titans" story is planned, one not following canon. I hope you enjoy!
This story is dedicated to the following, who encouraged me to write this fic: mercifulheavens, harmonydumbledore, kissofdeath, and phantomgirl.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thetis was the most beautiful of the goddesses, far more beautiful than Hera, his wife, and, in Zeus’s opinion, more beautiful than Aphrodite. She had bright red hair which she kept pinned up, but when she left it down, it shimmered and shined in the lights of Olympus like red gold.
He wanted her, but she refused him. She loved a mortal man, Peleus, and would not consent to be with Zeus. He tried to seduce her, turning into a cuttlefish when she was swimming naked one day off the coast of Joppa, but she was far too quick and clever for him, as much as he hated to admit it. She turned herself into a shark and chased after him, forcing him to flee from her. He still wanted her, desired her, even though she did not want him. And when she became pregnant by Peleus, and bore his child, named Calibos, Zeus burned with jealousy. If they had had a son together, what a child he would have been! But it was not meant to be, and even Zeus, King of the Gods, could not change Fate.
