My knees were shaking. I kneeled down beside the injured specter and looked straight into Adra's perfect blue eyes. She was beautiful beyond comparison; Cyrus had good taste.

When you identify a specter, you're allowed to ask one question and they must answer in true honesty. The question I had required a certain chocolate donut to be gone.

I heaved a sigh and stood, my back to Cyrus who was still too dazed to speak. "Cyrus, would you be a dear and leave me and our guest to have a quick chat? I need to find out where she found such a nice aegis." (AN A aegis is a type of clothing Greeks wore, Athena was known for wearing one)

" Huh?" I stole a glance at his face and saw pretty much nothing. The only way to get rid of him was to physically drag him.

I opted to drag the specter, seeing she'd probably be lighter, having such a willowy body.

"Okay missy, I'm gonna call you Keres. Now-"

"My name is not Keres. My name is Zenia." For a girl who just tried to kill us, she sure was open.

" All right, Zenia. Why do you attack a goddess and defy the treaty?"

"What? The favorite daughter of Zeus doesn't know that her father has broken the treaty? We now can attack whomever we want!"

"How does he break the treaty?"

"Ah, ah, ah! Only one question!"

"You're new at this aren't you?" I smiled menacingly down at her. "Zenia." A name can give much power to a person. Especially to a god. Once a god knows the name of the creature it wishes to have power over, they can use that power to full extent. Zenia cursed and stood.

"He maimed and raped a innocent and then gave her to some of his pets who killed her. Satisfied?" That didn't seem right.

"Would you like some dinner?" She looked up at me with puppy dog eyes. With a laugh I said "I'll take that as a yes."

During this very boring part where the lot of us walk home, I'll tell you about the treaty.

The treaty was something we made with the original creatures. In this treaty we promised not to hurt any of the innocent, which is very few, and that they got their own special island. Thank goodness it wasn't mine. It was actually one of Artimis's. This pact was made not long after Father locked Kronos and the titans away. The original were outraged to see their friends locked away and rebelled.

This attempt to overthrow us was easily quelled, and we forced them to make a treaty. We were to let the titans free, and in exchange we would get their full support. It also included little things, like not hurting innocents intentionally.

I looked up at Zenia and saw her giving Cyrus the once over. The urge to scratch her eyes out was almost unbearable. I look at Cyrus, and saw his uncomfortable glances at Zenia and realized that she still in the form of his fiancée.

"Zenia, could I have a word with you?" She gave me a surprised look and fell back.

"What's up?"

"Could you take your original form?" She smiled.

"Of course!" Her body seemed to melt as she shrunk about two or three inches. Blond hair turned a couple shades darker, still blond, and just not platinum. And eyes turned first red then gold.

"Not bad," I muttered, "Do you enjoy showing off, Zinnia?" She just turned away and watched Cyrus.

Damn. I'm not j-

Never mind.

"Hey Cyrus, where are you from?" Flirty, great. Zenia walked up to him, hips swinging, a sultry smile on her face. Bitch.

Mentally punching myself, I caught up with the pair.

Their conversation was very informative. You know he has two younger sisters? And he hates dogs? I guess that would be why he chose to be a cat when he was resurrected. But why not something bigger? Forget it.

Cyrus took a nap why I started dinner. Zenia trapped me why I was cracking coconuts.

"So what's your relationship with him?"

"With who?"

"Don't play stupid! With Cyrus!" She crept closer.

I was twitching uncomfortably, "Friend, he'd just my…friend." Zenia looked at me unbelievingly. So, I had the hots for him, it's not like I could take it any farther.

Or that the feelings were returned.

"Really? Then you won't mind if I go after him?" I choked. Zenia pounded my back.

"Stop!" She did and I looked at her intently. "Do you even remember taking shape?"

Zenia stared for a moment, "Yes, a blond woman. Very pretty. Why?"

"Well, that's his fiancée." Zenia gasped. "You're kidding, right?" Yeah, I guess specters are clueless about the forms they take. I wonder what drives them?

"No, not a bit." All she did was stare. Irritated, I left, the coconuts only half done.

To my dismay, Zenia followed me. "Are you sure? It's not some mistake?" I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"It's not just his sister? He does have two! Or his mother!" I was going to strangle her. I didn't care just how much trouble it got me in, she was going to die.

"Minerva? Can I have a word?" I turned towards the cabin where Cyrus stood. Sure, anything for an escape.

"Yeah, what's up?" He shifted from foot to foot, and seemed to have a problem meeting my eye. Cut the crap Cyrus, what in Hades is going on?

……..

Of course I didn't tell him that! What do you think I am, an idiot?

"That's a nice aegis you have on."

"Thanks, I got it from Amalthea, who raised my father." Cyrus smiled.

"That's sweet." If only he knew that Almathea was a goat, he wouldn't really think of it that way, now would he?

"Yeah. Now what did you want?" He began studying his fingernails.

"Almathea? That sounds familiar." Yeah, I'll bet.

"What do you want Cyrus?" I was slightly irritated and my patience was running low thanks to Zenia.

"Never mind," He looked away.

"Right." It's very frustrating when someone tries to keep something from you. I just realized that.

Sorry it took so long! I don't know what happened! I'll try to be faster with the next chapter. Love ya! And thank you for reading. And I do know it's a really rough chapter, I'm just going to be lazy and just post it.

(Once again, I'm begging you to review, I don't care if you hate it or love it)

Another thing I forgot to mention. Keres is a name meaning evil spirit, so that's why Zenia was just a tad bit offended.
