Here's the next chapter, I hope everyone enjoys it.
The Brother Of Hercules
Chapter 18
Maelstrom And The Comedy Of Arrows
Prometheus Academy
Cafeteria
At the moment Maelstrom was hanging out with Cassandra, Tempest and Cerea, all of them enjoying their food and chatting away, though in the distance a certain "fly-boy" wasn't too happy.
"BUT WHY MAEL, I mean, he is a good guy and all but why does my Cassandra want to date him!?"
As it turned out, even though Icarus knew about Maelstrom and Cassandra dating, he didn't like the idea of "his" Cassandra being with Maelstrom.
Hercules though was confused, "But Icarus, didn't you say that you were okay with them dating?"
With Icarus freaking out in his way, "Of course I said that, but I only pretended to accept it since Mael wouldn't like the idea of me trying to muscle in on his girl, after all, he might have brawn, but I have the old coconut!" With Icarus knocking against his head, making a "Conk! Conk" Sound.
Icarus continues, "Besides, he's already got Tempest after him, not to mention the female centaur, Cerea, why can't I get Cassy-lassy to fall for me!
But Hercules was still confused, "But~ Mael is the top student in all the classes, he gets the top marks? Also he doesn't really "get" the girls to fall for him, he's just a nice guy that women like."
This caused Icarus to pause slightly, trying to come up with an answer.
While Icarus was chatting with Hercules about trying to one-up Maelstrom, the girls and demigod were chatting on another table, though at the moment Maelstrom's head was on the table with his arms over his head.
The reason why, "So wait, Cerea, you mean that you and your race go into heat during a full moon!?" Asks Cassandra.
As it turned out, Cerea couldn't hide what happened last night, since Maelstrom was dating Cassandra, along with Tempest in secret, her pride in being apart of a proud line of centaurs couldn't let her hide such a thing from those in a relationship with Maelstrom.
With the Centaur-girl blushing red in embarrassment, "Y-Yes, I-I thought I could keep myself in control, but I just lost it, but thanks to Master's quick thinking, he managed to cool me down in a lake near his home."
At the moment Maelstrom was a blushing mess, before anything else could be said, he quickly stood up and rushed to the restroom, wanting to splash his face with cold water.
Though while that was happening, Tempest sitting close to them, taking a sip from her drink, pretending to not listen, Cassandra asked in a quiet voice, "What else happened?"
Cerea's face became even redder, but she continued, "W-Well, a-after cooling down, I was making my way out of the lake, with Master on the shore he held his hand out to help me, b-b-but then," At this part steam was coming out of her ears, "H-H-H-H-His towel d-d-d-d-doped," This caused two things to happen, Cassandra's eyes to widen and Tempest to do a spit-take in her cup, "Before I knew anything, I instinctively ended up kicking him in the face, knocking him out cold."
The two girls were shocked at the unfortunate event, but Cerea continued, "In my panicked state I forgot about his towel and rushed to him wanting to make sure he wasn't too hurt, though I'm thankful for his demigod blood keeping him alive, I had no choice but to c-carry him over my back and try to quickly get us back home."
Hearing what Cerea said, Cassandra felt slightly put off since it wasn't really Cerea's fault for losing control of herself, or knocking out Maelstrom since it was an accident, but the fact she ended up seeing her boyfriend's package made her wonder, as for Tempest, she was busy coughing since her spit-take made her drink go down the wrong way.
Not being able to hold her curiosity, Cassandra asked, "Um, j-just HOW big would you say Mael was?" After hearing that question Tempest ended up choking on her own spit, since she wasn't expecting her harem-sister to ask that question.
Cerea on the other hand was blushing up a storm, her ears were even flapping up and down, showing that even though she was pure of heart it didn't mean she wasn't curious, though that doesn't mean she wasn't ashamed of looking without her master's permission.
As she quietly stammered out Maelstrom's size, with both Cassandra and Tempest being curious, the answer ended up causing both humans to blush just as bad as Cerea, with the centaur explaining how she felt it on her back during the jog home.
Maelstrom had finally managed to cool down from his embarrassment enough to return to the table, but when he got their he became confused at the sight, "Um, what's the matter with you girls, do you have a fever or something!?" Rubbing the back of his head in puzzlement.
The girls on the other hand couldn't quite hear what Maelstrom said, since they were too busy looking just below his toga, trying to see the thing that had them turning red, with each one thinking the same thing, """How can he hide something like that under that toga!?"""
While that was happening, Icarus was with Hercules, with the demigod trying to get Icarus to calm down and not try and take control of love, otherwise he'd not only break Maelstrom's and Cassandra's heart but possibly their friendship as well.
Unfortunately, because of how Hercules had worded it, Icarus agreed with what Hercules had said, saying that he'll give up on Cassandra, though as Hercules walked away, since he thought he'd managed to talk Icarus out of trying to break his brother and Cassandra up, Icarus on the other hand had other plans.
Later
Unfortunately, due to Icarus's obsession of Cassandra, he accidentally created loads of loathe arrows, managing to sneak one away, but during the making of the arrows, Pain and Panic ended up stealing those arrows before they could be destroyed.
As Icarus was about to fire the arrow, Hercules managed to stop him by using a makeshift shield from a locker, but what Hercules didn't plan for was the arrow ricocheting from the locker, bouncing from another and hitting Icarus in the butt, making the boy no longer have any romantic feelings for Cassandra anymore, though thankfully he only see's Cassandra as a friend now. (Guess it goes to show just how deep Icarus's feelings for Cassandra went.)
Along with Icarus explaining what the arrow was for and what it could do, along with revealing to both Maelstrom and Cassandra what he was planning to do, but he then explained how sorry he was for trying it and that thanks to the loathe arrow, the couple no longer have to worry about Icarus trying to split the two up in the future.
Though as it turned out, school ended up getting cancelled, which made the students happy, until they were told to get ready for war, though after that announcement, Hercules and Maelstrom noticed Pain and Panic were chuckling away, watching the whole thing in hiding, with Icarus explaining that he made a whole batch of loathe arrows.
With that in mind, the group went to Cupid's temple, finding all the cherubs had vanished, with Icarus owning up to his faults and that while he no longer feels any love for Cassandra because of the arrows, he still saw the girl as a friend, but he also didn't want to destroy love and was willing to help out to own up to his mistakes.
"Alright Herc, you Cupid go to the Underworld and see what Hades had done with the Cherubs, while me and Icarus try to correct all of this and stop the wars."
With that in mind, Hercules rushes off on Pegasus to the Underworld, just before he went, Cupid spoke to Maelstrom, "Oh yeah kid, you're gonna have to wear the love uniform."
This confused Maelstrom, "Wait, you guys have a uniform," Suddenly his eyes widen in realisation, "OH NO, NO, NO, THERE IS NO WAY I'MMM!"
A few minutes later, Maelstrom was now standing on Nimbus, Glenda in hand (though she promised to keep quiet about it), wearing a diaper and a quiver of love arrows, his eye was twitching at such an embarrassing thing, "Icarus, if you so much as utter one syllable about this to anyone, I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!" (A.N. Thank you Grinch.)
With Icarus wholeheartedly agreeing, the two went to work, though Pain and Panic tried to interfere with their job, though luckily after sometime, the cherubs returned and everyone was working to bring love back.
Though Hercules noticed what Maelstrom was wearing, he decided not to say anything, to anyone, though with Maelstrom's muscular build it almost looked like Maelstrom was a model or something.
Now that love had returned, everything was back to normal, though when Icarus thought a girl smiled at him, he rushed towards Cupid, begging for an arrow, with Maelstrom and everyone shaking their heads at their friend's antics.
Though Maelstrom didn't notice Cassandra and Tempest, along with a blushing Cerea, were eyeing Maelstrom's diaper, noticing that it didn't really hide anything if you didn't really look, though when they saw the outline, the two ended up blushing as well, with Cerea having flashbacks to the "lake-episode" along with unconsciously brushing the part were Maelstrom kept "hitting" her.
With both Cassandra and Tempest thinking, ""Okay, I am soo~ stopping the night at Mael's place!""
Though when they thought that, Maelstrom felt a slight chill up his spine, "Ya know, I'm gonna go get changed, I feel really exposed and unguarded in just a stupid diaper."
With Help from Nimbus, Maelstrom was quick enough to escape peoples view of him in the diaper and made it in the restroom, never knowing the mess he'll be in for the night.
The End.
I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter, I know it was mostly centred around Icarus, but I figured I should work out a way for him to get over his love for Cassandra, since he'd secretly still have feelings for her, with the loathe arrows having enough power to get rid of Icarus's love/obsession, but not his friendship to Cassandra.
Also I figured it'd be funny if Maelstrom had to wear Cupid's "uniform" for the day, just to fire the love arrows around, along with Cassandra's, Tempest's and Cerea's expressions for him showing off his body in such a way, and I figured that Cerea would've told Cassandra and Tempest about the full moon and what happened after it, since it is apart of her pride to do so.
I would also like to point out that this and a few other chapters are just a filler, I won't spoil it by explaining why, so sorry if it's a short chapter.
