Chapter 41
When they woke, the sun was already in the sky. They put their clothes back on and left. When they were already on the street, Artemis stopped and turned to him, a smirk on her face.
" Time to pay. The name. "
He took a deep breath,
" Fine. My name is... "The rest of the phrase was just a mumble.
" Sorry what? "
" ... "
" Speak up! Come on it can't be that bad. "
" Fine! My name is Scotus Lelantos. "
She stared at him, frozen in place. Then she burst in to laughter.
" W-What? Ha Ha . You're joking. "
He could feel the tiniest of blushes coming to his face. But he would never admit, he never blushed, never.
" You're not joking? "
It took several minutes for her to control her laughter.
" Alright. I'm good now. But why did they called you that? Is mean, come on. I feel like I'm talking to one of Cesar's soldiers. "
" Is from the myths. Scotus is the personification of darkness. And Lelantos is the Titan God of air and the hunter's skill of stalking prey. They thought it would be fitting for the son of my father. The name is a constant reminder of the expectations I have to meet. "
" Not to mention an ugly name. "
He shot her a look, as they started going back to the airport, the plane they came in would go back later that morning.
" What? It is! And don't come saying that you don't think it is. Because you do, or you wouldn't hide it from me. But I have to admit, considering your skill set, is fitting. Scotus. "
She chuckled.
" No, not going to happen. For me, is always going to be Scot. "
He gave a small smile, and they walked back to the airport. Scot enjoying his last minutes of freedom, before going back to the Order, where he was nothing more than a well-trained puppet.
I researched the names on the web. Scotus I believe is another names for Erebus, which I believe is the official name, but I'm not sure. I found both.
