Chapter 336: Reconciliation (5)

3rd person view

"A Pity, tsk." Eros sighs as he shook his head looking at the defeated Albert "Like Perseus, he won't have to be beaten so badly if he didn't start the fight. I did egg him on, but I would have let him off with less injuries. Luckily I warped us away or else you would have killed your friends in the process."

They're in the middle of nowhere, but the place have looked like it's been bombed as there are small craters everywhere. Albert's vision has gone black, he could barely register what they're saying as he felt his consciousness flickering.

"It's a pity since he didn't fight back against me at all." Eleanor clicked her tongue in annoyance "He kept changing his directing and targeting you instead, he could have taken me down with him at least."

"You shouldn't have approached me, Albert." Eros chuckled "I didn't like being forced to take you on my self, it dirties my suit."

Eros approached him and crouched next to him while whispering into his ears.

"Don't worry, I won't take her purity away from her or let anyone for that matter. I have rules that I myself abide by." Eros whispered "And this is just a fraction of what I can do, I can alter the personalities of your family members too...but I'm not gonna."

Albert desperately wants to respond to him but he could barely muster the strength to stay alive much less speak, this is the worst defeat of his life. Eros could move faster than he could blink, he is superior to him in everyway, he could see why Dabria had to warn them.

"Though I must congratulate you for making my nose bleed earlier at least." Eros snickered "Though it's healed by now, you and Perseus are definitely the ones we need, your hatred, it's delicious to feed on. Don't worry, I'll let you have her later."

Eros took Eleanor and left as time resume as normal. Aenon found himself with Cecily, but no sight of Albert, but he can sense that he's far away. Helena found herself the worst sight of Albert.

He's in the most of critical condition as she herself have to descend and help heal hi. She then see another goddess appearing before her and using healing magic far superior than hers to keep his condition stable.

"Hello Helena, I'm Hygeia, the goddess of health and hygiene." Hygeia introduced herself "Perseus thought that this would happen someday, so he called in a favor and had me kept a lookout for Albert. He'll live with me around."

"Ok, how are you already tired?"

Hypnos, despite being a god, he's like sweating and panting profusely. I can somewhat stay afloat now with my wings, but it's still faster for me to fly using magic or just warp. But Hecate said that if I can fly faster if I can use both wings and magic reinforcement at the same time.

"He spends everyday sleeping," Hecate answered "He's one of the laziest gods who are very physically inactive, physical exercises tire him out even if he's a god. Don't worry, I'll just keep rejuvenating him."

"I'll be physically fine now, but after this, I will take a backlash and be forced into an even longer sleep." Hypnos added

"Look, I really don't plan to master these wings, if you don't feel fine, we can just head back and end our session for the day."

"Oh look, he's at least looking out for you." Hecate commented "You're making progress at least."

"I never liked you as a professor, you're always a bit nosy."

"That's rude. I am a good professor, sometimes I'm so engrossed in my character that I even forget the fact that I'm actually a goddess. Anthony Magus was a good man, I sometime forget that I'm not supposed to take his orders without question and I'm more superior than him."

"That's not something to be proud of." Hypnos grumbled

"What do you know, you sloth?"

"More than you sometimes, witch."

"Ok, then how do I fly fast without the use of magic? And what are the uses of the glimmering thing?" I cut in before there's a fight between a god and goddess.

"Oh the glimmering thing is just a symbol that you're my descendant, my descendants always have something on them that symbolizes it." Hecate explained "Scars, birthmarks, an actual third eye. I'm sure when Elektra was in her disguise of your mother, you see something weird on her back."

"A small birthmark resembling a dagger." I realized as I dug through my memories "One of your symbols."

"Of course."

"You can use the flames like regular flames though, even your phoenix can teach you that."

I'm a bit curious, so I pluck a feather off of my wings, and it hurts, imagine pulling a lock of hair from your head, yeah, it's like that.

"You're lucky that your jacket is made from Plotinum." Hypnos commented "Plotinum accounts for wings and everything, otherwise your wings won't rip it and make it unrepairable."

"Well my shirt on the inside will mend itself but yeah, I hate feeling it rip and mend itself slowly over and over. I can then see Pasithea and Elektra floating towards us.

"No longer intoxicated, Elektra?" Hypnos asked

"Ah sorry master." Elektra apologized "But it looks like you 2 get along now, it seems like this exercise worked."

"It's more like I'm on neutral terms with him since he kinda helped me out the past few years."

"See, not so bad now, is it?" Pasithea giggled "Now let's do more bonding exercises so that you 2 can reconcile and maybe we can get Percy here to call you father."

"Do not ever call me that. I hate being called 'Percy'."

"You rather have us call your pretentious name, 'Perseus Silver'."

"Oh like your name Pasithea is any better." I grumbled "More pretentious than anyone I know."

Elektra almost laughed but she saw her master's wife glared at her.

"Petty, I know I like you." she replied

"You are messed up if you can tolerate a mortal like me."
