Interview with Hyperion
Author's Note: I got a request to do some more interviews so here is one with the Titan of Light. Mary is part of my middle name. ;)
After my close encounter with the Titan Lord, I decided to visit his brother, Hyperion. After having him flirt with me and nearly pull me into Tartarus, I was ready to leave the Underworld. On top of that, my bodyguard Hades tried one on me too. So now I'm in New York with Artemis to protect me. We are looking for a 'very nice' Maple Tree. Have you seen it?
When we finally found it and no one was in sight, Artemis turned it back into its original form. The Titan towered over us. He wore pure gold armour and long golden hair and eyes that were quite literally on fire.
"I thought you said he was meant to have weakened." I whispered to Artemis
"Hey, he's a Titan. They play by their own rules."
"I am Hyperion, Titan of Light! Who are you, who had freed me from my prison?" He asked. His voice literally boomed. It was deep and loud.
"I am the goddess Artemis. This is my friend, Mary. She wishes to interview you."
"An interview? Why off course. Make sure to get my good side will you."
"Terrific. We can go to a restaurant for lunch." I suggested.
We found the closest restaurant and sat outside for privacy.
"So what do you want to know?" Hyperion asked.
"Well, for a start, how did you feel about your defeat in the second war between the gods and titans?" I asked.
Artemis looked at me wide-eyed as if I was mad.
"Defeat?" He raged. Meanwhile his whole body burst into flames. Then it dimmed. "It was absolutely embarrassing. Do you know what it's like to be a tree for so long? Dogs pee on me! Not to mention I was defeated by a satyr and his nymph friends. It's not like it was even a god." He was pouting now and I was afraid that he would burst into tears. "I'm meant to be the best Titan fighter."
"After Atlas, you mean." I corrected him.
"Whatever. What does it matter now? The Titans lost, again." Now he really did start crying. Luckily I had a box of tissues. So much for Mr. Tough Titan.
"The next time Kronos decides to rise, I'm sticking with the Olympians." He said. Then he blew really hard into his tissue. The waiter came to ask us what to order. He just managed to say what he wanted.
"My friend is very emotional that it's the last Big Brother." I said. The waiter nodded, seeming to understand.
"Next question: If you saw Percy Jackson, what would you do to him?"
"Percy Jackson?" He fumed. "I'd torture him, burn him into a crisp brown, then feed him to a hell hound!"
"Just lovely" Artemis commented. "I think I'll just stick to turning men into animals and having dogs eat them." Because that was so much more civilised.
"Okay then, moving on." I said "Why do you burst into flames?"
"Why shouldn't I? Isn't it sexy?" He leaned closer on the table as he said it.
"Oh, gag me!" Artemis replied.
"Please, Hyperion- an appropriate answer" I demanded.
"I just like to do it. It strikes FEAR into the hearts of my victims and it really helps keep you warm when you're in the pits of Tartarus." I suppose that was understandable.
All of a sudden, someone's phone began to ring.
"Ooh, sorry" Artemis said. "I need to take this." She got up and left, leaving me alone with Hyperion. Just great.
"Let me ask you some questions now" Hyperion said.
"Urm..."
"Are you single?"
Yes!
"No"
"A god?"
I wish. I shook my head.
"Then how about you and I leave right now, together?"
"No thanks. My boyfriend wouldn't like that."
"That makes it all the more fun." I gazed into his fiery eyes and as I was just about to say yes, Artemis came back. Thank gods!
"I have to go. The hunters are having some problem with some wild boar. Apollo will be here soon to body guard you."
"Bye!" I said, crying inside.
As soon as she left, a red convertible pulled over nearby and out stepped the sexiest guy imaginable. He was tall, blonde with radian eyes (once he took off the Ray-bans) and his smile...oh that smile!
"Hey" He greeted us
"Hi" I said a bit too eagerly. Next to me I saw Hyperion glower.
"If it isn't the sun god, my under study." He commented.
"I am nobodies under study. I am the guy with the leading role." He replied. You tell him! Then he took a seat next to me. Eek!
Soon after, the waiter came back with our drinks and starters.
"What happened to the other girl?" He asked. Apollo snapped his fingers and asked:
"What other girl?" Dazed the waiter just said 'never mind'.
"Nice job with the Mist" I said.
"No biggy" He shrugged.
"Anyway, back to my interview. You know the reason why you're here." Hyperion said. Jealous much.
"Oh, sorry. If you could be any animal, which one would it be and why?"
"A crocodile so I can chomp up this chump."
"Oh, I'm a chump?"
"Yes you are. Thank you for admitting it."
"Seriously you guys" I cut in. "Can you please handle this like the 3,000 year old Titan you are and the 2,000 year old or so god you are."
"Okay then. Draw your sword Hyperion. Let's fight." Hyperion nodded and they walked away. Apollo snapped his fingers and he was wearing full Greek armour.
Great, Apollo had ruined my interview. I'm Mary Foxx and this is what happens when you get a god and a titan that rule over the same domain. Remind me not to get Themis and Athena together, or Atlas and Ares.
Author's Note: I hoped you liked it. Would you like me to add an extra chapter to see who won the fight?
