Chapter II
In Hermes's temple
Discord and Autholicus appear in a bluer and white flash of light.
Hermes
Look what we have here? Autholicus the supposed King of Thieves.
Discord
I'll be in Olympus, remember I want to know everything once this is over.
Hermes (waving his hand in up and down motion)
Yeah yeah now go I'm busy
Autholicus was totally lost what Hermes want with him? And why is he here? And WHY SUPPOSED KING OF THIEVES?!
Hermes
Autholicus, Autholicus… You have been telling everyone that you are 'The King of Thieves' and that you can even steal form a God isn't it?
Autholicus (straightening his shirt and with a cocky grin)
Well I stole two gods and I'm still alive to tell
Hermes interrupt him
OH yeah but what decent robber give back what he stole.
Hermes knows exactly the type of Autholicus. How knows that his ego is bigger than the earth and will accept anything to prove everyone he is the best.
Autholicus try to reply him but his mouth drop down and nothing came out; he couldn't thing any good answer.
Autholicus
… But I was forced by Hercules
Hermes
He was turn into a PIG! and you couldn't wite him before or after his transformation.
Face it Autholicus there is no King of Thieves you are just another pickpocket who wants more he could handle.
Saying that Autholicus was totally crush and devastated. Hermes was right and Autholicus need something to get his honor and pride as the King of Thieves.
Autholicus
All right how can I get back my title as King?
Hermes look questioning at him
Autholicus
All right how can I earn it?
Hermes
Good you ask I have the perfect job for you
'Stupid mortal thieves don't have honor just greed' he thought
Are you ready for this?
Autholicus
I can steal anything go anybody… (after realizing that he was the God of Thieves too) Except for your highness the all mighty God of Thieves.
Autholicus start smiling trying to smooth the situation.
Hermes (in a bitter expression)
I know… Well you will steal "The water of Poseidon"
Autholicus
You want the Ocean? How I'm supposed to take it? Drinking it?
Hermes got serious and said
"NO! you fool mortal, I refer to THE water of Poseidon, the special weapon of Ares"
Autholicus
Wait a minute! Ares already got me on his dead list if he caught me I'm food for the worm with lucky!!
Hermes
EXACTLY! I F !! he caught you. Just do a good job and nothing bad will happened to you. Besides nobody will be harmed if the God of War loose a weapon.
Autholicus thing for a moment brushing his beard.
"… mmm… I think you are right"
Hermes
See a simple task. Get in, took the water no in yourself pleas and get out.
Autholicus
Yeah… But what do I ear for all that? How much are you going to pay me?
Hermes
'Business time' Hermes thought
Well you will have the title of King what else do you want?
Autholicus
Actually is not money , not exactly, you know mortals need more than just a title and pride.
Hermes
'I love greedy mortals they are so gullible'
OK What is it I'm loosing my patience
Autholicus
Hey patience is a virtue; anyway I wan the exact location of The King Salomon's Mine.
The god stand up and star walking around the thief. What he wants was simple and very important; we are talking about the biggest treasure of the ancient world and the most protected one. No one except the king and his family know the location.
Autholicus was thinking after his coronation as King, give his biggest strike that will put him in the annals of history as the BEST.
Hermes
Agreed, I'll give you the location but only after you give me The Waters.
Autholicus
Ok chief consider it done! see you around
Then he turn to leave
Hermes hissed and said
"NO NO NO is not that simple. I have some terms."
Autholicus
I'm listening
Hermes
1º You'll do it secretly no one can help you, I know you work alone but not always.
2º It must be done during the day of Ares; I want this robbery happen under his nose.
3º No godly help from any god, demigod or any type of immortal
Did I make myself clear?
Autholicus
Totally
Hermes
So?
Autholicus
You got a deal God!
Hermes
Good now go! I'll be watching you
After that Autholicus leave the temple in direction to Sparta.
