Chapter 11 Athens

Deuce POV

He was such a liar he didn't believe a damn thing about it I had just told him and him talking to Zeus would only make thing worse I would be one dead manster. I shook my heads as my snakes hissed in my ears.

I pulled my shirt over my torso and slid my shoes on before walking over to the door. "Shade duh" I hit my forehead gently with the palm of my hand as I walked back over to my bedside table and grabbed my sheds. This was going to be a long day I might as well enjoy it.

I walked down the hallway but started to stop when I heard the sound of laughter. No one laughs this early in the morning, the gods were not morning people if you know what I mean.

I walked into the kitchen to see that my aunt Hera was cooking food while the ghouls and Claud laughed at something that she had said.

"There he is." I looked at my aunt her warm and inviting smile brightly on her face as the ghouls smiled wide at me. When I look over to Clawd raising my eyebrows he smirked. At that moment I knew that she was telling embarrassing stories from when I was a kid.

"Sit Deuce eat with us. You are going to need a lot of energy for our sightseeing tour today." I looked at Cleo as she seems so happy and I wouldn't bring them down on their vacation, so I smile and nodded my head.

As we ate there was a friendly conversation, the ghouls were talking about what kind of cute dress they could get from the cities down below the heavens. I just ate my food and listen, I didn't know the first thing about ghouls fashion and I don't think that even if I did that I would admit it. It's not cool.

"Deuce dear what city are you're going to take them to." I looked up to see this questioning glare from my aunt. Her golden eyes seeing past my shades. "I don't know maybe Sparta." I looked at her as this smile broke out on her face but there was something tense about it.

"That could be a good place to go." I knew she was agreeing with me but there was about the sound in her voice that told me it had a double meaning like she didn't want me to take them to that city. "Deuce we wanted to go to Athens."

I could hear the cheery voice of Frankie, but I could only feel shivers going down my spine I didn't want to go there. Athenian was probably there and I was trying to avoid her at all cost. I looked at Frankie her eyes sparkling as her smile gleamed as the lights hit it. "Yeah it sounds so clawsome we read up on it on the plane."

I look at Dracula and it was so hard to say no to her, she was always so happy and peppy and if you said the wrong thing then she would have started to cry. I shook my head sadly there was no way that I could say no to them I would look like the bad guy. "Sure, I will go round up the Pegasus you finish eating."

Before they could even say a word, I ran out of the room and put into the fresh open air. Athens! What was so great about that stupid place it might have been better if they picked my father as their patron god, but they chose her and that stupid olive tree.

I growled under my breath and curse in greek before I place both my fingers to my lips and blowing hard as an ear preceding sound rang out. "Hey boss what's up." I looked up to see Etilius his black wings shining in the sunlight.

As he hove clopped on the ground I could hear him neighing as his large blue eyes stared at me. "I need you to summon up a few more pegasuses for my friend" I heard him neigh like he was aggregated as his hooved dug at the ground unearthing the dirt beneath the golden grass.

"Are you out of your mind boss, they are monster and we are creatures of the heaven. Your brother would not approve of this."

Of course, he had to go their big brother Pegasus who could forget about him, it so awkward having to explain it to people that my older brothers were is made from gold and the other one was a flying horse and the father of all Pegasus.

I sighed and patted his muscle as he began to get neigh when I didn't say a thing. His fur was soft and smooth, it glittered in the sunlight making the white look pure and radiant. "Let's not bring big brother into this, please

Etilius can you do this for me I will give you sugar cubes later and anything else that you want." I smiled at the excited enough that escaped his lips as he flapped his wing like he was excited. "You have me sold boss, anything for you."

I watched him fly off to go get the other pegasus. That took a lot of work then I thought. I put my hands in my packer and sighed as my snakes hissed. Someone must have been coming up behind me.

"So, you can't talk to the horse. Huh?" I looked behind me to see that Clawd was looking at me this envy in his eyes, but I don't know what there was to be jealous about. He sat down and smile at me as he looked over to the bright blue sky off in the distance.

"Must be cool to have a god for a dad. Living in a palace like this during the summer." I laughed that had to be the dumbest thing that I ever hear living it sucked most of the time and I didn't even stay here during the summer.

"What? Did I say something funny?" I shook my head no and looked to see that there were emerging figures flying towards the edge of the Olympus border."It's not always creeperific, not to mention that I spend my summer in my father's underwater palace not here on Olympus. His palace is far better than this and bigger. But let's keep that between the two of us."

I watched him nod his head as I heard the sound of high heels hitting the grass as I tureen around to see that ghouls were walking over to us. Each one had this wide dazzling smile on all their face as I looked at them. I could see that sparkle in their eyes that I am sure was coming from seeing the pegasus. I smiled and looked at each of them for a moment before hopping on the back of Estelius.

I grabbed Cleo hand pulling her up on his back. "So why is it that we have to take the Pegasus, I mean don't get me wrong they are clawsome but isn't there another way of getting down." I looked at Clwyd, you could tell that he was scared to get back on one of the horses "Not unless you are an immortal being or you can fly." I looked at him as he let out this exhausted sighed.

As we walked through the city of Athens crowd of both monster and people kept staring at us this confused look on their face as they looked at us. "Deuce what are looking at." I looked at Cleo who had asked the question her voice seemed slightly hearted but there was something about it that made me worry.

"I have no clue what they were staring at us for." Of course, they all knew even the satyrs knew about the legend of the gorgons, and what happened the last time one of us stepped foot in the city of the snobs.

We became the gorgons in this stupid palace. I shook my head's slowly whipping that thought out of my mind. As long as we didn't run into her then we would be fine. Of course, that would involve me having good luck.

"Hey, let heads to the parathion that is the last place on my list." I turned to look at Clawdeen she seemed excited about the Parthenon. I do know why I have been there and I can tell you it ain't that great. I sighed heavily and turned to look at them as we slowly made our way up the temple. I was slowly dragging my feet against the cobblestone I knew that the moment that I step foot in that temple bad shit would happen.

As we spotted I could see large Greek columns made from ivory. They shined bright in the sunlight as I look at them, all their face frozen in excitement. As they took each step I stood there hoping that I wouldn't have to walk in with them, but I felt Cleo tugging onto my arms pulling me into the temple.

When I stepped my foot on the cold hard ground, I got this shiver go down my spine and I get this feeling like someone one was walking over my grave. I let out this sigh as I turned to see a large crack of light energy, the decrypted temple became brand once ruined pride of Athena was a shining and back to normal.

I could see the fisher where my father had created the salted water spring. When the energy dispersed there stood a woman, with honey blonde hair and deep gray eyes as. She was dressed in a flowing chiton with a golden breastplate over it. She smiled uneasily as she looked at me. "Hello, cousin." Great.
