Chapter 111: The mystery monster

3rd person view

"That's a lot to take in" Albert sits down on his bed after Eleanor told him what her brother warned

"Well that's why I'm here in the middle of the night" Eleanor replied

"I'll just call him then, he's usually still awake at this time" Albert said as Aenon then handed him his amulet which he used to call Perseus

His amulet then lit up meaning that the call went through.

I was then briefed about the situation from Albert and Eleanor right after the spar that took place last chapter.

| I hate it when you break the 4th wall, I think I should've hired other protagonist to replace you |

"Ooh sounds rough, so what do you need from me?"

"Well, obviously we need your help" Eleanor replied

"I can try assassinating the opposition"

"No!" the both shouted in unison

"Well lesser lives will be lost if I do"

"They are still currently part of royalty, and they haven't attacked yet so if you do, you'll be trialed" Albert responded

"Yeah, besides they are still part of royalty even if they're only my half siblings" Eleanor added "We're calling you to see if you have any other suggestions so that we don't have to resort to bloodshed"

"I know, if war happens, both side will lose, so any of you guys figure out what the opposition wants?"

"They want power and authority" Eleanor answered "Basically they want the throne"

"Well you should blame your father for not being able to control his dragon then"

"That's not...ughhh" she groaned

"Friends?" Urie asked

"Yeah, civil war, blah blah blah, you know, the usual"

-I don't think that describing a civil war as 'the usual' is a good thing- Dabria replied

-It seems like we listened to a great conversation the moment your parents ask us to check on you- Damon joined in

-Fill us in please- Diana asked

Dabria then filled them in about our day.

-What if we patent and create some birth control pills?- Ace suggested -This world doesn't have them so we can earn ourselves a lot of money-

-I'll actually note that down, it can help us prevent another situation like this-

-You 2 are insufferable- Dabria said as I then felt that she rolled her eyes

-I think that I'll just tell our family about your day excluding the civil war part- Damon said

-Go ahead-

-We'll be ready on standby then- Siege responded -We'll prepare ourselves in case we need to join in the fight-

"Why don't you guys ask Elliot, Liam or Caleb? You guys can just keep my plan as the back up, currently I'm meeting with a vampire princess and I don't want to hold these guys up"

"What is it with you and princesses?!" Eleanor exclaimed "We'll follow your suggestion for now, so see you back in the academy"

"Bye Perseus" Albert and Aenon said as they closed the call

"Let me test you out for a bit more" Lillian said as she then surround her hand in dark magic.

I then use my eyes and disrupt the spell causing her magic to shatter. Natalie tried the same thing but I disrupt it again.

"Ooh, What's that ability?" Rex asked excitedly as he then took out his notes

"That's the same thing that you manage to do in our fight against Colden" Urie applauded "Colden did it too, he was so annoying with it"

"I'll give you the same pay as Natalie" Lillian offered as she looked at her hands before turning back to me "What do you say?"

"Yeah, still a no"

"I don't usually get denied often, this feeling is amazing" she then licked her lips "Too bad I can't experience it more often"

-I'm telling the others to tell Cordelia about this the next time she comes and visit our home- Dabria said as she then went silent

"Hey, Urie, can we go now?" I whispered "I feel like the longer I stay here, the more danger I'm in"

"Of course" he winked

We then bid our farewell and left.

"Haven't seen you in my dreams in a long while, how have you been?"

"Great!" Nova replied "Beatrice should get out more, she can't get anymore supporters just by staying inside, Richard is the only one with enough courage to drag her out"

We then sat down and played chess as we talked.

"What about Jake? What's he been up to these days?"

"He's just exploring the continent, going on adventures, he seems to enjoy doing it after his retirement as a holy knight, so how have you been?" he asked

I then recounted my day and told him everything that he might have missed.

"Colden escaped huh, he must have a lot of allies for him to be able to pull that off" Nova pondered "But who..."

"I have no clue either, and why did they hide it and not tell us sooner? His group is a powerful one and I really don't like it, I want to retire now more than anything, but problems keep appearing one after the other"

"I really tried searching for the monster that even us gods fear, you know, Colden's warning, but all I can come up with are the titans"

"Of course, it's the titans, but let's not think that far, Colden would've simply said titans if that was the case. But man, there are too many enemies I need to put down in order to achieve my peace and living my life as a slacker"

"Checkmate" Nova smiled "Well you got your plot armor, you should have nothing to worry about, though that won't help you in chess"

"I know, to think that I have it both physically and figuratively is awesome, being the protagonist sure have good perks"

| I hate you guys |

"Unless..." I thought as the answer finally hit me

"What?" he asked curiously

"If I'm right, we're really screwed this time" I facepalmed "This is why I hate riddles"

"Tell me then" he insisted

"The monster that even the gods fear is...yeah readers, close your ears, because this is where the cliffhanger happens, right as I tell Nova the answer"

| &%#%%@%^#^%@ You &@%#&@@#&$^Fuc#&$^ |

"Wow, let's censor that" Nova said

"Yeah, just...wow"

"Yeah, let's not break the fourth wall again, that was intense" Nova nodded
