A/N: Sorry this has taken me so long to get up. As with all of my stories nowadays they've been put on hold due to a very bad case of writer's block. When the lousy block hits me it hits like a brick wall and it's almost impossible for me to get over it. Hopefully I'll be able to break it by updating. Enjoy the chapter.
Cronus scanned his small library. When he wasn't trying to destroy those annoying kids, the god of time would look for an unsuspecting monster or even an unsuspecting immortal to unleash up on them. He could probably try calling back Erebus, but the god of darkness would probably go no where near those seven humans again.
"He's probably terrified of Archie," Cronus thought smugly.
He smiled. Archie could be uncontrollable when he was in the right mood. He just needed help bringing out his wild side. Cronus' eyes landed on a small book with silver lettering. The immortal reached up and slipped the book off the shelf. Legend of the Moon Wolf was printed on the cover. Cronus looked at the book with extreme interest. He opened the book and began to read. Maybe there was something in this book that would help him cut the seven heroes down to size.
There was no denying it. He had fallen in love. Him. The self-absorbed one. The descendant of Narcissus. The self-absorbed one.
Neil took out his mirror and checked to see if he was presentable. He was standing on the front step of Selene's house. He put his mirror away, took a deep breath and rang the door bell. He could hear the sounds of a frantic race coming from inside. The door opened.
"Hey, Neil."
"Hey, Selene."
"Selene has a boyfriend! Selene has a boyfriend!"
"Andre!"
Neil chuckled.
"Sorry, about that," Selene apologized.
"Don't worry about it," Neil replied, waving off the previous chant.
Selene joined Neil outside and closed the door. Her eye caught the shape of the moon.
"Something wrong?"
Selene turned back to Neil. He had a worried look on his face.
"No. I'm fine," she answered. "Uh...shall we?"
The two friends headed off.
The moon shone bright in the dark sky. Thin clouds occasionally rolled over, creating an eerie effect.
Neil and Selene walked by the courthouse.
"Nemesis."
Neil couldn't help but jump.
"Where? Oh, heh, the statue."
"You okay?" Selene asked, smiling.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine," Neil replied, looking up at the stone statue.
He would never forget the name Nemesis as long as he lived. Selene looked up at stone, blindfolded woman. She held a sword in her right hand and a scale in her left hand.
"I'm glad to see that the gods haven't completely become myth."
"If you only knew," Neil thought. "Come on, let's go. We don't want to be late for the show."
"It starts in another two hours. What's your rush?" Selene asked.
"This place just brings back...golden...memories," Neil answered.
"Golden?" Selene echoed, turning to face Neil.
Neil thought he saw the statue's head move. He stifled a yelp of surprise. Selene chuckled.
"And people said I was strange," she muttered.
"When a goddess gives you the Midas Touch you're going to be cautious," Neil thought.
Selene rubbed her hand against the base of the statue.
"Come on, let's go and get something to eat. Then we can head to the theatre."
She walked over, took Neil's hand and walked off. The blonde glanced over his shoulder. He would never look at the courthouse or the statue the same way ever again.
I am really sorry about this chapter being so short. I'm trying to break this stupid writer's block. Bear with me, it's taking a while to break. Anyway, tell me what you think.
