I turned to Byree. She had an all-knowing smile on her face. Nick got off stage with everyone in the bar cheering him on. He walked over to me trying to figure out if I was going to bolt or not. When he saw me reach behind me and grabbed my Pepsi, he relaxed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

He motioned toward Byree. "Ree called. Can we talk? Please?"

I put down my Pepsi. Should I let him in my life again? Or should I avoid this from happening again? I made my decision and got up and walked away. I heard Nick following but I just kept walking toward my room.

"Risky! Risky!" Nick called to me. I was almost to my room when Nick grabbed my wrist and turned me towards him.

"Risky!"

"WHAT NICK? YOU ALREADY HURT ME WHEN YOU DECIDED TO ACT LIKE A CHILD! WHAT ELSE CAN I DO FOR YOU?" I screamed, a tear coming from my eyes.

"This," he said before he pulled me toward me and kissed me. I didn't know what to do. Nick and I had always been friends. I had had romantic feelings for him but I never thought he had returned them…until now. I relaxed and kissed him back.

We soon came back up for air. He wiped the tear from my cheek. "You have no clue how long I've wanted to do that," he said smiling.

I looked down. "Then why didn't you? Why did you run off like that?" I said pushing him on his chest to put him at arms length.

He sighed. "I admit I overreacted. I was hurt that you would rather have Acheron train you and you didn't even want me there to support you. I sort of felt betrayed."

I pulled him towards me. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him. I looked up at him. "It's because of feelings like that being the reason I didn't want you there while I was training."

He laughed. "So are we good?"

I nodded and placed my head on his chest. "I missed you."

We were lying on my bed, just being alone with the world, when what tomorrow was dawned on me.

"Nick?" I asked seeing in if he was awake.

"Yeah Risk?"

"Tomorrow Acheron planned on presented me to the Greek pantheon."

I heard his heart skip a beat. "Is that so?"

"Yes and I was wondering…if you would be my consort." I knew how much of a big step this would be. Acheron told me that whoever I picked as my consort, I would be putting them in danger but they would have the power of the Atlantean pantheon behind them.

He kissed my forehead. "Of course."

I relaxed and put my head back on his chest, enjoying what time I had left before I labeled myself, and Nick, as human targets.

"So you know the plan?" Acheron said.

I nodded. Nick was next to me with his arm around my waist. "Is Tori coming too?" I asked.

Acheron nodded. I nodded and took a deep breath. "Well, we better go."

Acheron came and stood beside me. He place his arm around my waist so I was the in the middle. He placed his other arm around Tori. I closed my eyes as I felt Acheron drawing up his power to flash us to Olympus. When I opened my eyes, we where outside the huge, pearl white doors of Olympus' meeting room.

I looked at Acheron and Nick. "Ready?"

They nodded. I held out my hand and willed the doors open. The doors swung open quickly. I had had heard murmuring while I was outside the doors, but as we strolled in, silence fell upon the room.

Some gods hissed at my disrespect; other just sat there in silence, studying me. I walked arm in arm with Nick, my pure white dress billowing behind me; my necklace, MY symbol dangling at my throat. Let them scoff at my existence; but it is MY right to live.

We walked up to where Zeus was in a discussion with his bastard son, Apollo. Artemis was to Apollo's right, silent. They turned to us; wondering who would dare interrupt their conversation. When they saw who it was, fury marred Zeus' face.

"How DARE you walk into MY meeting room and interrupt our event. Who do you think you are?"

I laughed. "Well, where do I begin? For many years, I was known as RIsska, Risk, or Risky the Dark-Hunter Squire. Two years ago, I was Risska the Dark-Huntress, but now? Who am I to label what I am, so I allowed the Atlantean goddess Apollymi do that for me. You remember her correct?" I said.

I looked around the room and saw fury among many of the gods when I mentioned Apollymi's name; I even see Artemis pale…A LOT. Interesting enough, the god, Ares, has an all-knowing look upon his face. Like he knows who I am, what I am, and why I am here. I keep an eye on him.

"Get to your point; I haven't got all day!" Zeus roared.

I laughed. "The point is that Apollymi has seen fit to rebuild the Atlantean pantheon and I am the result of it."

Apollo laughed. "Are you saying that you are the brain child of Apollymi? Of the same pantheon that she wiped out because they tried to kill a little brat?"

I laughed. "No what I'm saying is that I am like Acheron. Apollymi is my mother of sorts and my father is Savitar, as you all know is a VERY powerful Chthonian Godkiller. But here is the reason I am here today; I am here to place a warning. I was killed by someone and I have a feeling it was someone within the Greek pantheon. The Atlantean pantheon will NOT take attacks lying down anymore. We will defend ourselves…and our consorts."

Apollo and Zeus laughed loudly. "What god in their right mind would agree to be the consort to a half-breed brat?"

Nick stepped forward. "I would."

Many of the gods paled. Apollo raised his brow. "So the half-breed and the ultimate bounty. What a pair."

I brushed my hair out of my face. "Just know this Apollo. I, Arisska Blaze, Atlantean Goddess of War and Peace renounce any attachment to the Greek pantheon. Any god from the Greek pantheon will be treated as an enemy unless proven otherwise."

Nick, Acheron, and Tori stepped forward and repeat what I said, exchanging my titles for theirs. By the time were done, Zeus was fuming. I turned around to walk away from the chamber, signaling that I had said my piece when I heard a cry but I saw it before many of the gods. I redirected the bolt of energy Apollo sent at me.

Before he knew it, I was over to where Apollo was seated and I had grabbed him by the throat and slammed him upon the marble floor. Many gods readied their weapons to help Apollo, but Zeus. He was interested in what I was going to do.

I got my face close to Apollo's. "Now listen here Sunny-Boy, for one, that was the most cowardly thing to do. At least give me some sort of warning, Secondly, my father taught me ALL things I would need to be a successful Chthonian Godkiller. I can AND will strip you of you powers and give them to a more deserving person. Thirdly, you're on my shit list. For the record, that's not a good place to be." I released his throat and walked back to where Nick was.

"Are you ready to go home?" I asked him, a smile upon my face.

He nodded. Acheron and Tori flashed out first. I wrapped my arm around Nick's waist. I looked at Zeus. "Heed my warning, Zeus," I said before flashing us to Nick's house.

I embraced Nick and kissed him passionately. He grinned. "Have I ever told you that you so beautiful when you're angry?"

I laughed. "I know."
