Chapter 268: Hecate

"Please stop flirting in the living room" a familiar voiced interrupted me and Lia "You mortals should really learn on how to control yourselves"

I turned to see...Professor Sophia White in my house. I don't know how she even get in undetected.

"Calm down Perseus, I'm Hecate, nice to meet you, my wonderful descendant" she greeted

"How...how the hell did you just drop a huge bomb on me and be so calm, professor White?"

"Ah, this is merely my disguise, so please do not call me that" she chuckled "Hecate will do, if you're wondering how no one figured it out, remember that I'm a goddess of magic"

"Since you're like my ancestor...I'll call you grandma, makes you sound younger"

"Seems like your future self was right, you really did came up with that on the spot" she sighs

< Luckily all we did was flirt or else it would've been so much more awkward>

*****

"Don't worry, no gods are able to see us, I enhanced the runes and enchantments on your house, you really should've stayed in my class and professor Blue's longer" She reassured me "Though is it really a need to use memory magic on me, you know that magic bend to my very will, right? I could still be lying"

"I thought you were like the pictures, you know, 3 faces and all that"

"That's only when I'm showing people the choices of crossroads of where they can take, but one head and face is easier to come to a conclusion when we're discussing a private matter" she replied

"I really need a list of your family tree" Lia sigh "You know, your family is really much bigger than mine"

"What do you want, grandma?"

"To visit you and show you my great and wonderful personality of course, you should really be more kind to your guest" Hecate responded "I really don't like that tone of yours"

"Well sorry for being cranky, but I just had the worst experience ever. The demon king was a kid, I was so disappointed. You probably know how it feels, right? To have a desire built up within you and get denied the opportunity for release"

"Yes, I know exactly how that feels. You once chose to do the dishes instead of me" Lia answered

-What the hell have I woke up to?- Dabria asked

"Wow, hypocrite much?" Hecate joked

"Well that aside, any advice on how to control Diana's powers or how to beat Eros and his mysterious master?"

"The gods are in more chaos than ever after they found out Nike sided with Eros, they declared war but so far, no attacks or anything" Hecate replied "Me and your father have currently side with you, but even so, we can't always rely on you based on just a prediction"

"That's what I've bee trying to say, what if we just give my role to Albert and I get to relax"

"Yeah, not happening, we actually have a higher chance of success if we give your role to your girlfriend here, a descendant of a sea god" Hecate retorted "Though she needs a bit more training, she'll need to practice her powers with the leviathan since they're both descendants of the same god."

"Then anyone else I should worry about that have taken their side?"

"To list a few: Prometheus, Atlas, Thor, Elpis, Odin...yeah, you don't want to know the list" Hecate answered "Some join because they believe in the cause while some join because of fear"

-Shit, they got gods and titans -

-Yeah, that's bad, really really bad- Dabria agreed

"Ok, what you have been telling me so far are bad news, any good news? Maybe you can send me to a world where my dreams of living a peaceful life after having a grand battle against a demon lord perhaps?"

"You are far too opportunistic and optimistic, my young descendant" she commented "I can do that, but I won't"

"Damn you and Hypnos"

"Hey, don't scold me, I don't have any responsibility to look after you like Hypnos. I'm merely your ancestor, not your mother. Have you find out her name yet? I can tell you"

"Seriously?"

"Yes, but just know that once you know her name, you'll also be able to find the information of her death"

"Well I'll find it out sooner or later, I'm prepared"

"Not the reaction I'm expecting for, so no" Hecate laughed "Though my real purpose in coming here is to warn you...you know how us gods watch you reincarnates for entertainment, right? Well some will be interrupting your world traveling trips"

"Great, I got a niece or nephew to look after since Morpheus got a princess pregnant. And I got my first anniversary with Lia...why must things be so complicated for my brain?"

"Don't worry, a few gods have take it upon themselves to train you"

"...That's good, I guess"

"Your father's twin is willing to train Diana control her Demonic power, once everything calm down I advise you to visit the demon world, the demon world is a warp away after all" Hecate suggested "Andrius got the inspiration of the 13 executives from them after all and be careful of the unknown god inside you, Perseus, he's not as powerful as Eros' master, but..."

"Wait, you mean he's not just a random god who's powerful enough to invade my dream from somewhere far away? He's inside me?...Please excuse my poor phrasing just now"

"Oops" Hecate exclaimed "I think I said enough, get along to what you were doing earlier now, your next trip to another world might be longer than you think, you have a high chance of missing your anniversary"

"I hate you gods"

"Though I can give you a hint of who that god is...he gives off a very odd presence of death and anger" she giggled before disappearing

*****

"I can see that she's definitely your ancestor" Lia commented after Hecate disappeared "You 2 have a lot in common"

"Say, would you mind if we move our anniversary up a bit early? I love to take a warning of a goddess very seriously"

"It'll be held on the day after tomorrow then" she answered "I assume like a good boyfriend, you have things prepared?"

"Of course I have, Diana in particular was very annoying since I haven't told her what I got, but please don't tell her that"
