Chapter 340: Mother's blessing

I then turned to Vlad who has been quiet since the start of the meeting despite us ungagging him and letting him speak again. His eyes are barely staying awake as it keeps fluttering.

"What are you looking at?" he asked as he yawned

"I'm just thinking whether to use you as bait...I mean, I can use you to lure in the gods when the war starts."

"Oi, you're seriously fucking messing with me, right?"

"I don't think he's lying, his face indicates that he is seriously considering it." Wyatt commented

"Well either way, to even stand a chance, the vampire kingdom need some corrupted vampires if you're all going to go on offensive. Neelofar too with the demon kingdom as an exception since we're already demons."

"Well us seekers can supply the pills with a few of the pure ones as well." Urie chimed in "With the demon kingdom on our side, we can make even more of the pure ones if we use the ones already on death row."

"Well that's true, but will the Crimson kingdom and Neelofar need it is the question. Rex, Draven, and Stella can provide a vast supply if they all work on it together, but we would need an approval from Zach if the 2 kingdom would want the supply."

"We would need more time to think about that." Struan replied "But we would definitely need one for the guardian, she can be very powerful as our lead protector."

"We will also need time to think." King Brennon joined in "This is a big risk if we were to proceed even if only a few vampires were to volunteer to become one, a small portion will lose their sanity and have to be put down."

"Yes, it would lower our morale." Natalie agreed

"Well that's just my suggestion, my bonds and I are planning to go to the underworld after and I will have Urie accompany me since he seems to want to come along and I need someone who's also strong to come help incase there's a fight."

"No" My mom said

"But-"

"No" My mom sternly answered

So as you can expect, she's denying my request to get her to give me her blessing so that me and my bonds can bathe in Styx.

"First of all, your 2 weeks isn't over. And 2nd, why in the world would I participate in some stupid ritual like bathing in a river of hatred?" mom continued "or go to a place filled with souls for that matter?"

"Yeah, fair point." Dad nodded "If you happen to die, that's an if, she will feel guilty that her blessing isn't enough or the fact that she didn't stop you."

"I'm a protagonist, I don't die."

"As much as I would love to indulge in your silly narcissistic fantasy that you're a protagonist, I can recount many stories where the protagonist die. Remember my bedtime stories to you when you were younger? I recounted that I told them a lot."

"Those are weak protagonist, this is your son we're talking about. You never would've thought that I will date a princess, and here I am. I also have a goddess in my head, besides the payoff is great, I can become invulnerable to most attacks, it's not that bad."

"Oh, you think having the protection of a goddess will help you?" Mom asked "Nova doesn't count."

"Quite a few gods, Hypnos, Elektra, Hygeia, Horus, Morpheus...hmm."

"That's like 3 gods whose name that starts with H."

"For the 'sort of' category is Pasithea, Nyx...Um Adam and Eve?"

"Well the answer is still no." Mom responded

"I'll let you have free rein of my wings for an hour."

"Oh shit." Diana cursed which isn't like her

"Diana, kids are in the room!" Olivia scolded her

"I mean, oh my." Diana corrected herself "Personally, I think that that's a good idea, even his girlfriends don't have that privilege."

"Personally, I don't even know why you guys are so obsessed with my wings, it's not that amazing. It's just a useless thing weighing on my back."

"Welcome to my world." Damon sighs "I'm used to it now since I was born with them."

"What are you 2 talking about?" Diana exclaimed "Wings are amazing!"

"Well that's because you're a phoenix who grew up with wings all your life, not them." Siege pointed out

"I have a human form too!" Diana made her point by transforming into her human form and showing her hands "And have you seen a more beautiful wing? He has better wings than Thanatos, my own teacher."

"A week." my mom offered "A free rein of your wings for a week and I'll do it."

"1 day."

"There's 5 of you, so 5 days. 2 extra days for me and your father, so one week, I will not accept any lesser of an offer." My mom countered

"Damn. You're doing this just because I'm uncomfortable with people playing with my wings, aren't you?"

"Where do you think you got your sadistic sides from? Your father?"

"Yeah, it's all her." Dad chimed in "I'm more nicer than her."

"What are you trying to say, my dear husband?" Mom glared at him

"Perseus, marriage is scary, know that." Dad gulped

"It's not like it's any worse than being stuck with a whiny baby." John shrugged "It got its good points and bad points."

"I'll know that feeling in a couple of months."

"Oh no...not this again." Marella groaned in pain as she hold her chest "How many kid does that boy have?"

But this time, Perseus isn't the one feeling the pain, but Craig Steel who was in professor White's office is feeling pain in his chest that was so intense that he barely managed to stand.

"Hmm, time travel again...but this time...it isn't Adam's." Hecate commented as she used magic to soothe Craig's pain "Your blood child seems to have traveled through timelines."

"Amora?" Craig asked "But how can she time travel?"

"That's all I can sense with the magic interference of this world. It could be a son since it's an alternate timeline." Hecate replied "Well I can track him/her down, since this one isn't meant to come here."
