Love Will Be Hurt
Eros wasn't expecting lightning bolts.
"What the shit do you want, love child?" Xeris asked angrily.
"Since you can't fall in love, I'm going to make others love you. I was really thinking of Zeus, but really, I've got so much to choose from."
Meaning he hasn't shot Zeus yet. Meaning Zeus fell for Xeris of his own accord.
"Wand of Xeris," Xeris said, and a long baton like wand came out of nowhere.
"I wasn't expecting that. But cool!" Xeris said. And proceeded to whack the god over the head.
Oh, all this time, Eros was invisible.
"How can you see him?" Zeus asked.
"Cause I've got the eye of a tiger,
A fighter." Xeris sang. Then she faced Eros.
"And you're gonna hear me roa-a-a-a-oar!" Xeris said and struck him with a bolt.
"What in blazes is going on here? Who are you hitting, Xeris?" Aphrodite asked. It seems she was just receiving a facial.
"Your son needs to die. Sword of the Stormborn!" Xeris called.
She calmly picked the god up with her wand. "You must swear on the rivers Cocytus and Styx that you or anyone else in your family will not try and take revenge on me. Unless you want to die a death even more painful than that metaphoric wound in your heart you had the last time," Xeris said.
"I swear on Cocytus and Styx!" Eros screamed.
"Very good. Because you have TWO gods of judgement and law. Break the law, I will break you," Xeris said in a tiny voice.
Eros had never seen someone so vile and cold to try to kill him. "Forgive me, my—"
"Shut up. No more formal crap." Xeris commanded. And left.
"Eros. What did that girl do to you?" Psyche said. He had a serious black eye, a busted lip, a torn shirt, and a hand mark and the words "Eye of a tiger" written in marker on his forehead.
"Xeris almost killed me." Eros replied.
"Why don't you shoot her? She just got deified, and she thinks she's better than you?"
"Even if I shot her, it wouldn't work. She is stone cold. She has no respect for her heart. She would make a great hired assassin."
"Then I'll take revenge on her, for you my love!" Psyche said.
"See this life me I no want trouble oh. (yes people. Eros briefly became Nigerian) That girl is so powerful, I'm sure she can take away your immortality if you tried to harm her. And I've already sworn that me and my family won't take revenge on her."
"Well then, what do we do?" Psyche said.
"Her love life is already complicated. There's going to be a love heptagon, and with almost zero of my help. Already there's Dionysus. Then Perseus Jackson. Then Poseidon. Now even her father Zeus is falling for her."
Yes party people.
We've got a case of reverse Electra complex.
"Zeus is her father? Oh my word."
Love heptagon? There are a few people who are threatening to make it a love dodecagon. Even Eros himself.
