Aegnus Óg would have growled in frustration if it wasn't unfitting for a love god like himself. Not like there was anyone accompanying him right now but it was only his pride that was stopping him.
All his plans were falling apart at a rapid pace that he had to wonder where exactly he went wrong.
He sent that fool, Balor that he revived just for this occasion. Of course, he turned out to be so useless, his wife would have easily done better.
Not that she was weak or anything, but she usually takes a more… motherly approach to things like this that it wouldn't fit this situation at all.
That wouldn't do because he wanted results and fast. He needed to know why he felt what he did and until he figured it out it would constantly bug him.
He, of course, had a familiar that was in the form of a white bird, spy on the battle from afar as to not be spotted since the goddess Artemis was accompanying the boy and would have spotted him easily.
Despite the results, he learned a lot about his opponent and his capabilities and to be fully honest, it only brought greater mystery to him.
Throughout the fight, he displayed some type of ability that allowed him to create or summon weapons that all have varying types of abilities.
Now, normally that was nothing special when in comparison to some of their own demigods who also boast spectacular power.
It was an issue because he was using weapons from their pantheons, one of them being the weapon Areadbhar which belonged to his fellow deity, Lugh.
He didn't know if he knew about that but if he didn't, he would quickly inform the war god all about it.
The god could be many things including cruel, arrogant, bloodthirsty but also kind, humble it really depended on who exactly you were.
The former usually was presented to the former while the latter was to people who knew him well.
And 'well' for gods meant centuries.
He was one of the few gods you didn't want to get on the bad side of because he would easily kill you with but a thought.
Having fought the god multiple times (where he lost every time) he grew to respect him and while they did have a very tense relationship back in the day, they got along eventually and even teamed up when things benefited the two gods.
This situation was one of the prime examples of times they would join in order to achieve a common goal.
Before he could teleport to Lugh's castle, which was in another dimension, a portal appeared making the Aengus tense up until he saw who stepped through it.
A middle-aged man was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt along with black baggy pants. He had his hands casually in his pockets as if he was certain nothing would harm him or could harm him.
"Darius."
Seeing him the man known as Darius nodded. "Aengus. I'm sure you saw the results of that battle."
How could he not? He was sure any god, minor or major could sense the massive influx of power that went off in the forest.
The man was obviously playing coy like he always did to try and get under his sleeves.
"Yes. I witnessed the fight from one of my familiars." he stated.
Darius, like every time he came in his house, sat down on his couch in the exact spot that was reserved for him and kicked up his feet like he owned the place.
It annoyed him to no end and yet he didn't do anything about it because the man was useful. Too useful in fact, that killing him would just be a waste.
He'd heard the man's goal and had almost laughed thinking he was jesting. However, the boy or man was not clearly and kept up his stern facade.
Humanity's future should be left up to us gods. If we should deem it necessary, why should that be stopped?
However, his dream was not relevant to him or his plans. The human had appeared from seemingly nowhere and struck up conversation with him randomly.
He didn't even know how the boy knew he was a god. He was certain that his divine essence wasn't leaking.
At first, the Celtic god ignored the boy's words chalking it up to squabble that someone taught him until suddenly, the boy pulled out a card and muttered something like "Install"
After that, the god gave the boy his full attention seeing such a magnificent ability such as that.
Originally, the boy had been nowhere close to even his suppressed level but when he transformed into a black shadow figure his mana spiked and he was completely different in body language, tone and just sheer confidence.
And thus, they discussed, and he had to say he was impressed as to what the kid could do. Apparently the cards were called "Class Cards" which allowed one to equip a hero from legends.
He'd asked if his son, Diarmuid was in this "hero" card and he was answered with a positive. In fact, Cu Chulainn, their admitally strongest hero to date, Fergus the King of Ulster and even Fionn, from the Knights of Fionn.
When the one known as Julian uttered that he'd almost gone on a murderous rampage. Fionn was practically the killer of his adopted son having chased him out along with his lover, Grainne and even when it was all settled Fionn left Diarmuid for dead.
He immediately told Julian not to ever use that card in front of him. The boy must have known his place and quickly agreed.
In other news, the boy claimed that the boy known as Shirou Emiya was the person who currently had copies of his spears Gáe Dearg and Gáe Buidhe.
Also, he not only had a copy of BOTH his spears but also his two swords that were given only to his son.
That was the biggest insult one could give a god. Not only did he steal all his weapons somehow, but not even ask for permission and make him look like a fool.
Thus, they prepared themselves and Julian informed him he gave Balor the card known as "Lancer" which held Cu Chulainn somehow.
And yet, even with Irelands greatest hero being thrown at the human he still managed to not die and even capture the giant along with Artemis, the goddess of the hunt.
"See I told you. The boy known as Shirou Emiya would become a problem sooner or later and as I told you, he has your son's spears or at least a copy of it. But no, you didn't believe me" a mocking and almost amused voice said.
Aengus didn't need to turn around to know who it was. It was Darius, a personality of Julian as he said.
Despite him being a grown adult, he found the kid to be more appealing and he was more... professional. He on the other hand, kept giving his lovely wife looks that the love god didn't approve of.
"How was I supposed to know that anything you were spouting out was true?" Aengus said emotionlessly. He knew he couldn't show any emotions to this persona or else he would quickly take advantage of it.
Despite being a wizard or whatever, it was he was certainly crafty for a human. Reminded him of how he used to be when he was but a few hundred years old.
"Because I told you all about what he could do and yet you kept insisting that good ol Balor was enough." the man drawled out.
Aengus growled and pointed at the man ready to smite him. "Do not disrespect me like that again! I can kill you in over a thousand ways you sleeven."
Darius looked unconcerned infuriating the god more. "You're not going to do anything to me because you need me."
Aengus grit his teeth but said nothing. He was right and knew more about the target then he did. He could probably force the information out of the wizard but if there was one thing, he knew was that he probably had tricks up his sleeve like those portals.
"This is why I prefer to speak with Julian. He's a lot better to talk to then you."
Darius rolled his dark eyes. "Yeah, whatever. Anyway, what do you plan to do now that your 'trump card' is defeated?"
"Balor was never my trump card," Aengus cut in ruthlessly.
Darius simply waved him off. "Whatever, then what's your great plan of action now O' great god?"
"Don't give sarcasm. I am also a god of wordplay and so I can easily outwit you" Aengus said "But my plan is to contact my colleagues and tell them the deeds the human has committed. We're going to need all the help we can get if the boy is sided with the barbarians."
"Artemis huh" Darius frowned. He glanced down and clutched his chest as if expecting a wound to be there.
The love god pretended he didn't notice and nodded. "Indeed. Which means we need more allies. Where is that blonde-haired women from last time?"
One of the times they met up, Julian had brought an acquaintance. Now normally, he wouldn't have cared for such a thing, but it was the sheer amount of power she radiated.
She held divinity that felt very high but at the same time, not complete. It confused him to no end.
Despite not saying a word she managed to put off a more intimidating aura then even Darius. Perhaps it was the fact that she said not a word that was so ominous and mysterious.
"She's out right now on a mission." Darius said.
Aengus frowned.
The answer was too vague for the gods liking. Not knowing something made him only more suspicious. He would let it drop for now, but it would certainly be brought up again.
"I will talk to the gods about joining us. If we can get them to help us, we could easily fight off the Greeks and mobilize the boy." Aengus said.
Darius smiled creepily "That's the spirit! I shall also assemble my allies so we can fight against Shirou and the Greeks."
Aengus knew that his fellow gods weren't on great terms with the Greeks because a few centuries ago, an unknown demigod killed their sacred animal that the gods created to observe and pass judgement to humanity.
That put the two factions into constant arguing which usually led to both groups of demigods dying and neither side winning.
He was sure that if it ever came down to it, the Celts would pull through with their secret weapon they just recently finished.
The weapon would possibly turn the tides in favor of their Pantheon and would possibly give them enough power to rival even the Hindu's.
If their plan works out perfectly.
Darius then got up and brushed off the invisible dust on his pants. "Well then I suppose our business here is done."
Aengus only nodded.
"Next time I come over you should bring drinks" Darius suggested as a portal suddenly appeared and he stepped through half-way.
"And tell your wife I said hey." the man then looked thoughtful "And tell her to make those chocolate chip cookies again too."
With that, he left leaving the god alone.
When Aengus confirmed he was gone he scoffed.
'Hmph, Caer only made you those cookies out of courtesy and nothing else.'
The first time Darius came over along with his supposed partner, his wife was home and she insisted on making them something to eat.
They easily agreed and didn't even check to see it was poisonous (though it was not.) and devoured all of them.
He stood there slack jawed at their appetite as they easily went through multiple batches of cookies. Especially the blonde one, she ate like she hadn't eaten anything in years.
Julian on the other hand, loved it so much he shared some with his other form, Darius and thus began the friendship between Darius and his wife.
And he had to say he didn't like it. Not one bit.
"OOOO~ you are so in trouble now!" squealed a voice.
Aengus glanced towards the source of the voice. Its name was Labut a swan which is his spirit animal that mainly represents himself.
The god only sighed tiredly.
"I'm telling you, just do those chores now or lady Ibormeith will throw a fit." the swan warned with narrowed eyes.
"I know, I know, I'll do the chores right now." the god promised.
The swan looked satisfied. "Good." with that he waddled away presumably to soak in the large pool outside.
Aengus manifested a broom and started sweeping all the while wondering where he went wrong.
XxX
"Sis, you saw that? He actually did it!"
"Yes, Apollo I was watching with my own eyes." the voice replied with annoyance evident in her voice.
The one known as Apollo paid no mind to her feelings and kept prattling on about how the human known as Shirou Emiya managed to defeat everyone else in Archery.
Though if she was being honest, she was also silently impressed with his performance. Despite being at a clear disadvantage he managed to pull through and win the bow both herself and Apollo enchanted Tauropolos.
The bow itself had numerous abilities that weren't even passed down to Apollo's children or Artemis' hunters.
There were only a few exceptions, one being the hunter, Atalanta who held it for a few years before… unfortunate circumstances happened that made her relinquish the godly bow.
Ever since then, it was simply locked up in a very secure vault where nobody could touch it, not even the more powerful gods like Zeus, Poseidon or Hades.
Which made it a very big deal for them to finally decide to bestow it down for a half-human to touch or in this case… full human.
Normally, she wouldn't have been happy had it been a human or even another boy and yet she felt he earned it without cheating.
The same couldn't be said about the rest of her 'family'
Mainly Aphrodite and Ares who were trying to subtly help their respective children win the match with various means like doves getting in the way, the wind acting up or the sudden increase of strength a child of Ares would have.
She could only scowl at the love goddesses' attempts at trying to get her children to win. It was bound to fail in the end and if she had to, she would have personally stepped in to make sure none of her children received the bow.
"He also won the test." Apollo pointed out smugly.
Artemis had almost forgotten about their deal. They made a bet that if Shirou completely beat Apollo's own children and the other competitors she would 'heavily consider' going through with Zeus's request.
She sighed in defeat.
"Yes, yes we'll talk about that later." she said though she didn't want to talk about it. "Onto more important things I heard there was an uproar in the underworld right now."
Apollo nodded grimly "Yeah. The cause is unknown and the only thing we do know is that all sorts of monsters like the Fury's, hellhounds and other creatures are now turning on Hades.
"Knowing Hades, he's probably going to have a demigod, or something help him clear up the monsters." Apollo guessed.
The two then glanced at each other.
"You don't think that Hades would actually come to the camp just to ask for Shirou's assistance, right?"
Artemis looked unsure. "It's a possibility. Shirou has shown to be extremely capable and if he were to die there would be little to no consequences."
"I doubt father would approve though."
Artemis snorted "When does he ever approve."
They both laughed at that. There were very few times where they both equally laughed and had any sort of fun.
Artemis then got up earning a look from Apollo.
"I'm going to head back to the girls. We're hunting down a group of Stymphalian birds that are bothering some of the locals." Artemis explained.
Apollo nodded.
The Stymphalian birds were a group of birds that at first glance looked like ordinary pigeons that reside in trees but when they caught sight of demigods, nymphs or anything that has flesh, they attack violently and mend apart flesh.
"Guess that's good target practice for you and the ladies. Soon enough you should get on the level of me and Shirou." Apollo said with his infuriating smirk.
Artemis balled her fists violently. "You know full well that we are equals in Archery. I am heads and shoulders above Shirou."
It was true and they both knew that, but Apollo just liked to be annoying and stir up an argument as usual.
"I don't know about that…" Apollo said, putting a hand on his chin. "Shirou did shoot pretty effortlessly. Maybe you should take some tutoring from him."
"This is why we can't talk for more than five minutes," Artemis said before turning into an eagle and heading to the skies.
While she was flying away, Apollo shouted. "Tell the girls I said hey and to call me!"
Apollo could hear the squawk of the eagle that did not sound pleasant.
He wiped away a fake tear. "She's growing up so fast."
He then vanished in a flicker of yellow light.
XxX
When Shirou woke up he had to say that he almost jumped in shock seeing the golden bow that was almost glowing from the sunlight next to him.
Luckily, he managed to stop himself from making a fool from himself.
He then smiled as the memories came back to him full-circle. He'd participated in the Archery tournament that the camp held and had won by the skin of his teeth.
The prize was the bow that was apparently blessed by the twin Archer's named Tauropolos: Bow of Heaven.
Even now, he could only stare at the magnificent bow that he was currently grasping.
It didn't seem to have any way to shrink it or dispel it sadly, but that didn't make it any less awesome to him. He would just have to trace a holster or something that could fit the large bow.
He narrowed his eyes at it once more in the hopes of it suddenly appearing in the snowy world known as his Reality Marble. Of course, the results were the same as last time unfortunately.
Once he was done admiring the craft of the bow, he decided that he needed to get up and get the most essential parts of the day done.
"I'm getting lazy."
He felt even more reluctance to get up from this comfortable bed as he did last night. He didn't know what it was about this bed, but it seemed to draw him in and almost beg for him to go back to bed.
He chalked it up to the little amounts of sleep he'd had prior to arriving in this strange city.
Once he finally mustered the strength to get up, he went straight to the bathroom to freshen up and clean his messy hair that was sprawled all over the place like a bird's nest.
After that, he brushed his teeth, washed his face and took a fifteen-minute shower. Once he exited, he was dressed in a black and white jersey zip jacket along with his normal clothing.
The outfit he traced was weirdly enough familiar and yet different to him. He didn't know why exactly he traced the jacket, but he felt it was almost...necessary.
So, after grabbing his precious bow he left the cabin to get some breakfast. He was admittedly very hungry from all the energy he used during the Archery tournament and knew he was going to eat a lot.
While he was walking, he was given all sorts of looks. Some of them were waves and thumbs up from his performance yesterday while others were glares because he won, and they didn't.
He didn't feel pity for most of them, especially the Aphrodite children who blatantly cheated and the only reason they weren't eliminated was that nobody wanted to face the wrath of the love goddess.
He couldn't say he blamed them. Aphrodite would most likely force a man to make out with another girl even if the person did have a girlfriend. He doubted she was below doing dirty tricks like that.
It was best if he stayed out of her radar for as long as possible. Or even better; forever!
When he arrived at the lunchroom, he saw a group of campers waiting in line and he recognized a few of them.
Some of them being Percy, Annabeth, Jason and his girlfriend (who he believed was named Piper).
When they saw him, they all exchanged greetings between each other
"Hey, I'm Piper, nice to meet you in person." she said, extending her hand for him to shake.
He shook it softly and was surprised by the strength of her hands. "Hi, I'm Shirou. Nice to meet you too."
"I saw you in that spar against Thalia. You were pretty good." she complimented.
"Thanks, she was also a very good opponent and had me on the ropes a lot." he said truthfully.
He had no illusions he would have won had he not traced a high-level Noble Phantasm like Mac An Luin.
She was just as he expected as the daughter of Zeus. Fast, a quick thinker and all-around very powerful. And he still knew she was holding back and only used a low-tier lightning bolt.
What if she used a full-powered lightning bolt on me? Would I have died on the spot?
He wasn't afraid of dying per se but the thought of not seeing his sister once more made the thought less appealing.
"Yeah, Thalia is an extremely powerful demigod rivalling even Percy. Her powers as a hunter of Artemis only makes her better..." Piper went on.
He quirked an eyebrow at the statement.
"What do you mean her as a hunter of Artemis?'' he questioned. He hadn't heard anything about them getting any benefits.
"The Hunters of Artemis are of course blessed by the goddess to have enhanced attributes like strength, speed, vitality and the ability to never get sick. But most importantly they each have limited immortality and will never age," Annabeth stated factually. Completely jumping in front of Piper and Shirou's conversation.
Shirou stared at her in a mix of shock and disbelief. He didn't expect the group to be that powerful and become equipped with that much stuff.
Percy must have misinterpreted his expression as he whispered in his ear. "Annabeth is a know-it-all type of girl so that's why she's like that."
"I heard that!" Annabeth said, glaring at her boyfriend.
Percy smiled as he held up his hands in mock surrender.
Jason who was quiet until now laughed. "Percy can fight any monster yet when it comes to Annabeth, he's useless."
Shirou couldn't help but crack a smile at the statement. He'd never had many girl problems in Fuyuki and there was only one person who liked him like that.
His father, however, told him about the horrors of women and how they could be when they were angry or even sad. He never really got what it meant since he was too young but now he felt he truly understood.
The group then grabbed their breakfast and decided to eat at a mini-park that was free for everyone to eat at.
Along the way, they all engaged in small talk which mostly consisted of Percy saying something stupid and Annabeth correcting him condescendingly making everyone laugh.
However, soon enough a topic came up that Shirou knew was going to come up eventually.
"So Shirou where are you from? I haven't seen anyone like you before" Jason asked him, making everyone else go quiet and look at him. He hated being on the spotlight the most as it always made him a little nervous.
"I'm from Japan and I'm from a town called Fuyuki," he answered
"Wow, how's Japan like? I always wanted to go there myself." Annabeth questioned.
"It's… fine. I had some great memories there and I met one of the most important people in my life."
The girls went "Awww" while the guys simply smirked.
"Oh, so you have a girlfriend? What's her name?" Percy asked with a teasing grin.
Shirou now had a decision to make. Tell them, and risk them telling their godly parents (though it was unlikely he thought) or don't say anything and just play along.
"Not a girlfriend, my adopted sister, Miyu." He didn't know why he just disclosed such important personal information, but it just spilt out naturally.
They stopped their Awws when they heard that it was not a love interest and was his sister.
"Oh, so why isn't she here with you then?" Piper asked him.
Shirou mentally sighed. This really was the million-dollar question that even he wondered. She probably would have made more friends than he did if she was here.
Best case scenario, she was safe in another world and away from the gods or anything else supernatural.
And with Angelica and Julian with him, he didn't have to worry about her because they were the only ones that wanted her.
Hopefully.
"She's away with some friends." he lied smoothly. They looked convinced. Except for Annabeth who narrowed her eyes slightly.
'Of course, I can't lie to her because she's the child of the wisdom goddess!'
He hoped she let it drop.
Luckily, she didn't say anything about his lie, but he could see her narrowing her eyes at him.
They then changed the subject to a more casual talk which he was glad for. He wasn't sure if he could keep talking about her without breaking down in front of everyone.
They then arrived at a hill they called "Half-Blood Hill", which was the highest hill which you could see everything from. There were two benches to sit on and Annabeth and Percy took one while Jason and Piper took the other.
They insisted for Shirou to join them on the bench, but he politely denied it. He didn't want to make it awkward with him standing there if they suddenly started making out.
Though, they didn't seem like the type of people to do that, but you could never be too careful.
"You said it's called Yukataka?" Percy questioned already stuffing his mouth with food.
They had asked about the culture of Japanese like futons, yukata, miso soup and other things he didn't mind disclosing as it was standard knowledge.
The conversation seemed to always bounce straight back to him no matter what subject they were on, but he didn't really mind that. They were simply curious about another country that none of them had been to before.
"Seaweed Brain it's called Yukata." Annabeth corrected with a sigh.
"Seaweed Brain?" Shirou parroted.
Annabeth looked almost sheepish before she answered. "That's a nickname I call Percy whenever he does stupid stuff."
Percy shot her a glare with no heat in it. She of course ignored it.
Shirou chuckled a little. They were truly as human as anyone else. He had half expected them to act more like the gods who were arrogant and prideful.
However, there was something that he'd been wondering for quite a while.
"Percy." the person in question looked at him along with everyone else "Back in our fight, you had impenetrable skin is that some perk of being the Son of Poseidon or something?"
Percy was a cut above the rest of the demigods. He had faster reflexes, was stronger and was all around better than half the campers. He briefly wondered if Percy was even human to begin with.
They all shared a glance before nodding.
"Percy has the Curse of Achilles." Annabeth stated.
Shirou's eyes widened briefly. He didn't expect something that big to be the case. He'd figured it was just some application of reinforcement or something bestowed upon him by the gods.
"The same Curse of Achilles that the hero did?" Shirou asked.
"The very same." Annabeth confirmed with a nod.
It did make sense he figured. But that still left the question of how you were even able to get it in the first place. As far as he knew, Achilles was tossed into the flames of Olympus by his mother Thetis in order to gain invincibility but his father, Peleus didn't agree fully with that idea and stated that Achilles needed to be at least partial human so he would be able to experience loss.
Did that mean Percy was given the same treatment? If so, why him and not everyone else with him.
"You must really be special then if you were given something so powerful." Percy mumbled something he couldn't quite hear but whatever it was, Annabeth weakly slapped him on the shoulder.
He wouldn't ask where the weak spot was because he doubted, they would disclose that information to him regardless. Not like he wanted to kill Percy of course, but it was simply curiosity.
Would it be located on the heel like Achilles was or maybe it was somewhere else even more difficult to locate.
He couldn't tell.
Soon enough, breakfast was over, and they all started walking to the gym to get their daily exercises out of the way.
Every morning apparently, they went to the gym located a little way away from the big house to stretch and get ready for the day.
Shirou decided to join them in their journey as he was sure he would need to stretch and work out the kinks in his muscles from yesterday.
"What are you doing today Shirou?" Percy asked him.
"I'm going on a quest that a god assigned me." he stated simply. He wasn't exactly sure if he could disclose such information, but the god never said he couldn't.
Not like he cared much what the god said.
The demigods all stopped in their non-existent tracks at his statement.
"Did you…just say you were assigned a quest by a god?" Percy asked in disbelief. Shirou looked confused at the demigod's expression.
"Yes, Hades came to my cabin yesterday asking for my help in the underworld." Shirou stated earning shocked looks from the group.
"Why would Hades request your help instead of a demigod's?" Annabeth said before realizing how rude that sounded. "No offense."
Shirou waved her off. "I don't know. When I got back from my fight with Thalia, he was just waiting there for me. I accepted mostly because I doubted, I could refuse."
Percy snorted. "That's true. I know from experience that whenever a god gives you a quest you have to do it. Even if you don't want to."
Shirou wondered just how many quests Percy had been on to have that look on his face. It was a mix of weary, irritated and just plain acceptance.
Now he was starting to wonder if maybe there was a price for such a powerful curse. His father had told him that for every good thing that happens something bad must happen, to balance it out.
He couldn't have agreed more.
"What time do you have to go?" Annabeth's voice spoke snapping him from his thoughts.
"He said that at 11pm, I have to meet him at the gate." he repeated what the god told him.
"Are you allowed to have help?" Piper asked him.
Shirou looked unsure. He hadn't exactly specified if he could have other campers join him in this mission. Though he doubted the god of the underworld would make him fight possibly an entire army by himself.
"Well...he didn't say I couldn't."
"We'll help." Annabeth said and Percy gave a thumbs up. "But that means no gym practice today as we have to get ready."
Shirou was okay with that. "So, all of us are going?"
"No, quest rules mean that only three people can join in on a quest or bad things will happen." Annabeth stated sadly.
He didn't know how he felt about such a rule. As far as he could tell, they would all be detrimental for this mission especially Jason who could fly.
Jason must have read his mind because he spoke up.
"It's fine, me and Piper will be here if you need us. Though, if we aren't here then we are probably in Camp Jupiter." Jason said.
"Are you sure?" Shirou asked once more. He wouldn't mind the bad luck as he'd always had tremendous bad luck during life. What's a little more for a quest?
"Yeah I'm sure." Jason confirmed.
They then went their separate ways with Jason and Piper leaving to do their business while Percy and Annabeth followed him to the cabins.
Annabeth then made a gesture to stop when they were close enough to the cabins.
"Okay Shirou, me and Percy have been in the Underworld a few times, so we mostly know how to navigate it." Annabeth said in one breath before continuing. "I would suggest packing a lot of food and water because we might be there for an unknown amount of time."
"And we'll bring the other stuff that's needed." Percy added.
After that, Percy and Annabeth left to pack for tonight while Shirou went back to his room, bow still in hand.
He'd almost forgotten that the entire time he was out he was carrying it around. In a strange way it almost felt like a child to him. Angry when left alone but when with its parent or owner in this case, tamer.
In the end, he hoped the quest would be quick and easy to do. But if the underworld was anything like it was depicted of, things would not be that easy.
He gripped his bow tighter.
"I need to make it back alive."
XxX
AN: So yeah, that's it for now. I wasn't exactly ready for them to head to the Underworld just yet so I set up some things and established some bonds between a few of the seven and Shirou.
Next Chapter we'll probably get to the Herakles and Angelica fight so ya'll can see how that plays out. It's anyone's game to be honest. You may think that Angelica will win because of Enkidu but who knows, that requires her to catch him xD.
Here's the QnA I promised.
WolfMan- Yeah, well I tend to do that a lot when I don't know what to do. Sorry but I'm kinda the type face-paced where one second, they are here and the next they are there.
NyaNyaCity-Thanks! I don't know who you think were buffed though I did make the gods more intimidating because I felt that they should not be nerfed for the sake of the plot. In the Titans curse, Atlas goes super easy on them for... reasons.
Ariadne Venegas- I don't know about the bow turning into a ring. Everybody does that so I kind of want him to have to carry it the old fashion way.
Rafafala- Not Gilgamesh lol.
Lastly, yeah I know I suck at dialogue but bare with me here. I really shine when there are action scenes but anywhere else… not so much.
Until next time, wrath.
