The Brother Of Hercules

Chapter 25

Maelstrom And The Song Of Circe

Maelstrom's Home

It's been a few days since Cathyl moved into Maelstrom's home, it was a rocky start at first, what with Rachnera's teasing and Tempest's and Cerea's frustration at the thought of the female Minotaur living with Maelstrom and getting her breasts milked from time to time, but they realised it was apart of her being, she couldn't help needing a hand for such a perverted task, since it was a life or death type of healing.

As a side project, Maelstrom and the girls decided to sale Cathyl's milk in the market so they could have extra drachma for spending, while keeping the fact that it was Cathyl's breast-milk a secret, even from Hercules and Icarus, though the girls tried their best to milk Cathyl, it turned out to be a difficult task since they weren't properly trained in milking, so they had no choice but to relay on Maelstrom for the task, leaving the two a blushing mess afterwards.

After that things pretty much went back to normal, minus the milking on the side, during their training they got a visit from Hephaestus, who past their new and improved hero outfits with Hercules's suit looking the same, only a slightly lighter brown, since it was made from the Catoblepas hide, making it practically indestructible.

Maelstrom's suit on the other hand had a completely different make over, he was now wearing a sky blue decorated hood, a pair of brown braces, a brown breastplate with high details, a highly decorated belt and a set of brown greaves. (A.N. It's difficult to describe so you're better off looking up ACOD Odysseus Set Concept, minus the rope wrapped around the braces and greaves.)

Hidden underneath the studded leather skirt was a pair of skin-tight black pants, allowing Maelstrom to have more stealth and to protect him from the elements. (A.N. Marvel's Spider-Man PS4 Dark Suit pants, since they're more detailed than anything I could come up with.)

Maelstrom loved his new outfit, along with his brother and Phil being impressed by the look, since the two understood that Maelstrom was an archer, meaning stealth was an archer's best friend, Hephaestus even explained that the outfits were blessed with self-repairing, self-sizing, meaning it can change it's size, and it can cancel out any noises their foot steps might make, along with being light for the brothers as well.

With that the two showed their outfits to their friends, making them impressed with the looks, though the girls blushed at Maelstrom's new outfit since it shows his muscular arms more.

Though when winter hit and the school closed for winter break, Maelstrom and the girls had a fun time together,ether making snowmen together, thanks to Rachnera using her silk to knit everyone warm winter outfits, along we everyone having something hot to warm them up with, or throwing snowballs at each other, though during the "fight" Maelstrom ended up slipping on a patch of ice, long with Cathyl landing on top of him, since she had a giant snowball above her head, wanting to get him back for the snowball that he chucked at her butt, which ended up causing her to kick one of her legs back on instinct, but luckily no-one was behind her, but such an action caused her to blush and try to pay Maelstrom back with the snowball, end result, Maelstrom knocked out by a pair of giant breasts, with Rachnera in the background laughing her head off saying what a way to go.

Once everyone went back into Maelstrom's home, taking his winter wear off, causing Cathyl to blush, though the girls explained that they were together with Maelstrom, with Rachnera giving a "detailed" description of what happened on the island of the amazons, though that night all the girls were asleep, all except Cathyl since she couldn't get her mind off of what Rachnera had told her, before long her breath had gotten heavy, her checks became apple red, she also became sweaty as well, suddenly her eyes widen, looking out her window to the night sky, she noticed one thing, the full moon was out tonight and she forgot all about that.

So during that night, Cathyl had become one of Maelstrom's girls, all because of Rachnera's stories, with the next day the girls had woke up and looked into Maelstrom's room, where they saw his bed a complete wreak, the wooden frame was broken apart and the whole mattress was on the floor, while on the mattress was a dishevelled naked Maelstrom, being held on to by an equally naked and dishevelled Cathyl, with the Minotaur girl having a content smile on her face, while hugging Maelstrom into her chest, making the girls both confused and happy at having Cathyl join their family, though Cerea and Rachnera were confused because they were asleep during the full moon, so the only effect the moon had on them was keeping them asleep and practically being deaf to everything around them, including what had happened between Maelstrom and Cathyl.

So with no-one stopping her, Cathyl had laid with Maelstrom, also Tempest and Cassandra had returned to their own place of residents, so they couldn't have stopped her, even if they tried I doubt they could stop a moon-influenced female Minotaur from doing what she wants.

But after that the group had sat down and talked things out, with everyone agreeing that Cathyl was apart of the family, though she and Maelstrom couldn't really look each other in the eyes for a week or so, but things pretty much got back to normal.

Spring

Now it's springtime and everyone was at the beach for spring-break, everyone was enjoying themselves, though Kurama had sneaked off to play a prank on Adonis, while distracting the guards, along with Helen looking through her bag for something, gave the fox enough time to remove some of the tanning oil on Adonis's back so that after his tanning he'd have a sunburn called "SPOILED", then when it heals a flakes off instead of a complete tan, Adonis would be walking around with a pale lettering on his back.

So while Kurama was hatching his plan, Maelstrom and the girls were happily enjoying themselves, with Cathyl hanging out with Rachnera since she was drawing the attention of hormonal boys because of her bust, though her size kinda kept them at bay, along with the boys knowing Rachnera would more than likely bind them to the beach to get bad sunburns.

Tempest and Cerea were having a jog on the beach, seeing it as the perfect way to train, though Maelstrom made sure to that the two were carrying water bottles just in case.

Maelstrom and Cassandra were just enjoying themselves, with Cassandra laying her head on Maelstroms lap while reading a scroll, while Maelstrom was messing with his guitar slightly, figuring he might play a couple of songs for the Spring-Break.

That is until the two were covered in sand by Hercules, after he upset Hades slightly due to a volleyball accident, "Hey come on you two, lets have some fun together."

Maelstrom replied, "Not at the moment bro, I just want to mess with my guitar and try and think which song to sing later, maybe one of the girls will do a duet thing as well."

Hercules then looked towards Cassandra, with her answering, "No thanks, I'm just happy reading this scroll and using my boyfriend as a pillow." This caused Maelstrom to blush slightly at the double meaning that Cassandra meant, though it pretty much flew over Hercules's head since he just gave a shrug and went back to his game.

The two were just happily relaxing,"HEY! COME ON YOU LOVEBIRDS, IT'S THE BEACH, YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING ABOUT AND HAVING FUN!" That is until a loud voice got their attention, causing Cassandra to jump at the interruption, "TWANG-G-G-G~!" and Maelstrom to break a string.

Unfortunately Icarus became interested at what Cassandra was reading, while Maelstrom was busy taking both halves of the broken string off the guitar and held them close together, allowing the string to reattach itself back together, though he then had to re-thread the string back into place, all the while grumbling at Icarus's unfortunate timing, "RRRRR-I-I-I-P-P-P-P-P~" That is until he flinched at the sound of a certain scroll ripping apart.

As it turned out Icarus wanted to get Cassandra to put the scroll away and play with the gang, but Cassandra didn't, which caused her to blow up at Icarus's face, telling the boy how annoying he was to her and everyone, with her drawing a line in the sand and stomping away, leaving a dejected Icarus.

Maelstrom looked to his brother, "Listen, you try and help Icarus out, I'll go and try to calm Cassandra down."

Hercules had no problem dealing with Icarus, since even he wouldn't try to handle and angry Cassandra, "You get it Mael."

As Hercules was talking to Icarus, Maelstrom was talking to Cassandra, "I know where you're coming from Cassandra, Icarus can be~ Well~ Icarus!? Ya know, but if you want, next time, let me or Hercules handle the brain-fried boy, while he is Icarus, he's still a good friend, right!?" Cassandra didn't answer, "Right!?" He knocks her shoulder getting her attention.

She released a sigh, "Alright, alright, he's an "Icarus", the next time he annoys me I'll let you two deal with him, since for me he's just... difficult to handle, and I'll try to explain things more clearer to him and apologise to him as well for exploding on him later, since I want him to suffer for a while."

With that Maelstrom gave Cassandra a smile, knowing that was all he was gonna get and a kiss on the lips, cheering the girl up even more.

Suddenly the couple heard someone give a wolf-whistle to someone coming up from the beach, with a lot of the males going gag-gag for this almost ethereal-glowing girl walking towards the eatery, making Maelstrom raise an eyebrow at the look the guys were giving the new girl, then he told Cassandra with a deadpan look, "Sometimes it's hard to call myself a man with about 90% of them being perverts."

Though Cassandra was happy, since Maelstrom wasn't falling for this mystery girl, she couldn't help but tease, "Says the man who has 5 girlfriends."

This caused Maelstrom to blink in puzzlement, before he starts blushing, "H-Hey! That's different, each one of us got to know each other and we grew to like one another, I'm no pervert, besides, if anyones a pervert in our group it would mostly be you girls, with Rachnera in the lead and you a close second."

His rebuttal made Cassandra realise how true that was, Maelstrom never started anything, it was always the girls, though she had to blush at her next thought, "But BOY does he finish it~~" She had a slightly perverted glint in her eye, "EPP~!" That is until she felt a certain boyfriend pinch her rear, causing her to elbow him in the ribs which caused him to chuckle at her response.

While all the boys were falling for Circe, Maelstrom and Cassandra decided to just sit-back and watch as the boys make fool of themselves trying to impress the sorceress, with Maelstrom wincing since his brother was also apart of the crowd, "Something tells me, things aren't going to end well." With Cassandra agreeing with her boyfriend.

The woman began singing about finding one good man, gaining even more attention and attraction from the boys, minus Maelstrom who thought to himself, "If that was true then don't use magic to try and find him, otherwise all you get is idiots trying to show off and not knowing what's hidden underneath, though something tells me the boys girlfriends will have words with them later."

While Circe was singing in the distance, having moved away from Maelstrom and Cassandra, Maelstrom came up with a song for him and his girls, gaining Cathyl and Rachnera's attention, "Alright you two, I've got the perfect song to sing for the group, let's just wait for Cerea and Tempest."

As luck would have it, Cerea and Tempest were on their way back having noticed an island suddenly appearing in the ocean, though Maelstrom and the other girls explained what happened with Circe, even though Tempest and Cerea wanted to fight Circe for enchanting the men, Maelstrom managed to calm them down by explaining that the boys girlfriends will "deal" with them later, since it was mostly the boys fault for falling for such a thing.

"Anyway you two, cool off for a bit from you training and listen to this song, with Cathyl and Rachnera joining in."

This gained the girls attention, though Cathyl was slightly embarrassed she wasn't one to back down from anything, Rachnera was just happy to finally get a chance to sing with her "Honey~"

I Do Not Own South Of The Boarder by Ed Sheeran.

Maelstrom began strumming his guitar, dancing around slightly to the beat, letting his girls relax and enjoy the song, as well as the eye-candy that Maelstrom was giving them, never knowing the sound was carrying down the beach.

(Maelstrom)

"She got the, mm, green eyes, beautiful thighs,
Long hair, no wedding ring, hey,
I saw you lookin' from across the way,
And now I really wanna know your name,
She got the, mm, blue dress, but when she's wearin' less,
Man, you know that she drives me crazy,
The, mm, green eyes, beautiful smile,
You know I love watching you do your thing!"

The girls smiled at his song, knowing he was talking about them, but knowing that he needed it to sound like he meant Cassandra.

"I love her hips, curves, lips say the words,
"Te amo, mami, ah, te amo, mami"
I kiss her, this love is like a dream!"

While he was singing, Helen was watching he so called boyfriend try and show off and get with Circe, though her attention was then drawn to Maelstrom as he was singing to Cassandra, not knowing it was for all his girls, hearing his smooth voice she couldn't help the sigh she released, hoping that maybe she could find a boyfriend that cares about her like Maelstrom.

"So join me in this bed that I'm in,
And push up on me and sweat, darling,
So I'm gonna put my time in,
I won't stop until the angels sing,
Jump in that water, be free,
Come south of the border with me,
Jump in that water, be free,
Come south of the border with me!"

The Girls blushed and giggled at that part, since that's kinda what they did, though one of Rachnera's eyes caught the sight of Helen blushing and looking away, causing the spider to smile.

Though at the moment Cathyl was reading the lyrics that Maelstrom thankfully gave to her.

(Cathyl)

"He got that, mm, blue eyes, givin' me signs,
That he really wants to know my name, hey,
I saw you lookin' from across the way,
And suddenly, I'm glad I came, ay!,
Ven para acá quiero bailar, toma mi mano,
Quiero sentir tu cuerpo en mi, estás temblando,
Mm, blue eyes, takin' your time,
Now we know we'll never be the same!"

The girls were loving their song, but so was a certain blond listener trying to focus on what her boyfriend was trying to do with Circe.

(Maelstrom & Cathyl)

"I love his lips 'cause he says the words,
"Te amo, mami, ah, te amo, mami",
Don't wake up, this love is like a dream!"

"So join me in this bed that I'm in,

Push up on me and sweat, darling,
So I'm gonna put my time in (time in),
I won't stop until the angels sing,
Jump in that water, be free,
Come south of the border with me,
Jump in that water, be free,
Come south of the border with me!"

The girls were just happily nodding their heads to the rhythm of the song, though it was difficult for Helen to focus on Adonis she just couldn't help but be drawn to the song.

"Flawless diamonds,
In a green field near Buenos Aires,
Until the sun's rising,
We won't stop until the angels sing,
Jump in that water, be free,
Come south of the border with me,
Jump in that water, be free,
Come south of the border with me (Bardi, uh)!"

Before the girls knew it, Rachnera began to sing her part of the song, giving a slight rap-like quality to it, with the girls agreeing that the lyrics sound like Rachnera.

(Rachnera)

"You never live 'til you risk your life (life),
You wanna shine, you gotta get more ice (ice, ice),
Am I your lover or I'm just your vice? (Woo!),
A little crazy, but I'm just your type (okurr),
You want the lips and the curves, need the whips and the furs,
And the diamonds I prefer, and my closet his and hers, ayy,
He want the lil' mamacita, margarita (margarita),
I think that Mael got a lil' jungle fever, ayy (woo!),
You are more than (you are more than) something borin' (somethin' borin'),
Legs up and tongue out, Michael Jordan, uh (uh),
Go explorin' (woo, woo), somethin' foreign (skrrt, skrrt),
Bust it open, rainforest, it be pourin', yeah,
Kiss me like you need me, rub me like a genie,
Pull up to my spot on a Cloud,
'Cause you gotta see me, never leave me,
You got a girl that could finally do it all,
Drop a song, drop a monster, but I never drop the ball, uh!"

As soon as her line was done, Rachnera was huffing and puffing at such a long line, so she scurried to the other girls to sit with them and have a quick drink, causing the others to giggle/chuckle since they knew Rachnera was kinda lazy, minus pranking, speaking of, it turns out Circe saw the sunburn on Adonis's back, causing the boy to be humiliated again, but Kurama was at the moment laying next to Cassandra having a belly rub while listening to Maelstrom's song, meaning no evidence, but an extremely happy fox with one of his back back legs kicking.

With Cathyl finally getting into the groove of the song she started dancing and singing with Maelstrom.

(Mealstrom & Cathyl)

"So join me in this bed (this bed) that I'm in (that I'm in),
Push up on me and sweat, darling (oh, oh),
So I'm gonna put my time in,
I won't stop until the angels sing (na, na, na)!"

With the two singing to each others face, causing a sync with the song, but look as though they were about to kiss, but thankfully they didn't since it's a secret from others.

"Jump in that water, be free,
Come south of the border with me,
Come south of the border, border (hey),
Come south of the border with me,
Come south of the border, border,
Come south of the border with me,
Jump in that water, be free,
Come south of the border with me,
Jump in that water, be free,
Come south of the border with me!"

With that their song was finished, with his girls clapping at the show that they put on, making them smile and relaxed even more, though when they turned to see what was happening with Circe, it turns out that out of all the boys she could've picked she went for Icarus, making the group extremely confused.

Maelstrom placed his guitar on his back, "Um, I'm gonna go and ask Hercules what's going on and why in everything that is sane that she'd pick Icarus of all people!?" While the girls were slightly concerned about Maelstrom falling for Circe, they knew he could handle himself, but most of all, even they were confused by this turn of event.

As Maelstrom was walking up to Adonis and Hercules, Circe explained to the two how she grew tired of the handsome boys, making Maelstrom released a sigh of relief, "Well I guess that's good news for me, but did ya have to enchant all the boys on the beach, since most of them have girlfriends and all!?"

Don't get Maelstrom wrong, he wasn't boosting or anything, just that his girls had told him repeatedly how handsome he was, so it must be true.

Though Circe was puzzled about how the spiky-haired blond somehow managed to escape her spell, she couldn't help but question, "What do you mean by that handsome!?"

Maelstrom just raised an eyebrow, then gave a pointed look at the "rejects", who were grovelling at their girlfriends feet, begging for forgiveness, until one of the girls gave a meaty-sounding slap across one of the boy's faces, earning a powerful "OUCH!" From the boy, causing the five to wince at the strike.

With Circe looking a little embarrassed at causing such a thing, "Alright, I'll admit I MAY have caused one or two break-ups, but maybe it'll teach the boys not to take their girlfriends for granted."

Maelstrom couldn't deny that Circe had a point, if the boys were dumb enough to fall for such an enchantment then they didn't really deserved to be dating anyone, since love was suppose to be unbreakable.

Circe continued, "Anyway, I've got the man I wanted, now come along Icarus, it's time to go to my island paradise." With Icarus howling like a dog, the two make their way to a giant shell being carried by a couple of pig men.

Maelstrom then explained what happened to his girls, though Cassandra was smiling and told them, "Well she's about to lose her sanity with Icarus around."

With the girls not really denying that statement, though Helen couldn't really help herself, "I'm sorry Cassandra, I could never imagine what it would feel like to lose such a good friend like Icarus."

While Cassandra was glad that Helen didn't think Icarus was her boyfriend thanks to Maelstrom dating her, she couldn't help but feel like she was forgetting something.

But for now, Cassandra needed to point something out to Helen, "Yeah, but I give it until they get to the island that Icarus drives her nuts, but what about you Helen," This gained Helen's attention, along with the other girls and Maelstrom joining, "I mean Adonis was all for dumping you to be with Circe."

Though Helen tried to deny it, before she could say anything Maelstrom cut in, "I've gotta say Helen, Adonis only cares about himself, he doesn't really seem to care about you, I mean, from what I see when you two are together, he treats you as nothing more than a servant, I bet if you look through your purse all you'll find is stuff that Adonis uses for himself, but is too lazy to carry or use himself." With the girls nodding in agreement behind him.

Helen was trying to come up with a defence, but then Cerea continued, "While you are a kind and caring person Helen, Adonis is nothing more than a man-baby, always begging for others to do things for him all because he's the prince."

With Rachnera adding, "Plus, look at him, he's whining at the shoreline because Circe chose Icarus instead of him, though granted anyone would be better than Icarus, Adonis can hardly be called a caring boyfriend, after all, why do you think me and Kurama targets him in our pranks most of the time."

While Helen tried to deny it with her kind heart, all the evidence was too much for her, causing the girl to collapse to her knees, holding her face in tears, though the group felt bad about what they'd done, they couldn't really deny that it was for her own good.

Maelstrom got in front of Helen and went to a knee to be levelled with her, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder, which gained Helen's attention, yet with how the sun was setting, seeing Maelstrom's kind and caring smile caused her to blush slightly, "Listen Helen, I'm sure, in time, you'll find someone who'll treat you right, giving you the same kindness that you give, so for now, I think it's best if you head to your room and get some rest, try and ignore Adonis for a few days to try and figure out what it is that you want."

As Maelstrom tried to help Helen up, "Um, Mael, d-do you think you can h-help me," He looks towards Helen in puzzlement, "Um, I-I've seem to have locked my legs."

Hearing her predicament, Maelstrom gave an understanding smile, "Alright, I'll help you out, just hold on tight." With that he gently picked the upset girl up, carrying her bridle-style, making Helen blush slightly at being so close to Maelstrom's chest, hearing his heart beating so calmly.

Not noticing how Helen was blushing, Maelstrom told the girls about Helen's locked-legs, so he'll help her out with that.

Making it to Helen's room, thanks to her telling him where to go, Malestrom placed her on her bed to rest her legs and think about her life with Adonis, "Alright Helen, I'll leave you to it, I think I'll ask Tempest to drop off one of her ointments for cramps, maybe that'll help with your locked-legs."

Gaining a nod from the girl, Maelstrom made his exit, sending a kind smile and wave to her, which she was more than happy to return, "So~ Have you finally realised you're feelings for Honey~ yet~" Said a teasing voice, causing Helen to jump slightly in surprise.

That is until she looked towards her window and saw Rachnera climbing through it, having a teasing smile on her fanged face, causing Helen to be uncomfortable at what the spider-girl might be planing.

Night

Maelstrom could see both Hercules and Adonis were planing something, so before that, Maelstrom got behind Adonis and used a pressure point to knock him out. (A.N. RIP Leonard Nimoy.)

With Hercules being relieved that he didn't have to worry about Adonis getting in the way, "Oh wow, thanks Mael, nice to know you've got my back."

Maelstrom smiled at his brother, lifting his arm up and wrapping it around Hercules's shoulder, "Hey, what are brothers for huh, they look out for each other, especially when the other is planing to do something stupid." With Hercules absentmindedly nodding at that.

Until his eyes widen and then rolled to the back of his head, showing that Maelstrom had knocked Hercules out the same way as Adonis, "I'm sorry Herc, but with your mind being influenced by Circe you're bound to get in a mess over there."

Looking up, Maelstrom saw Tempest and Cerea coming out of the shadows, "Make sure that these two stay out of trouble and out of my way please."

With the two nodding, as Tempest tired Hercules up using some golden chains that stop godly powers, Cerea went and tied Adonis up as well, making sure to also gag the spoilt boy as well so he doesn't order anyone to release him.

Though Cerea couldn't help but be concerned, "Are you sure you'll be alright, what if Circe tries to enchant you."

Maelstrom stretches his back out, "It'll be alright, unlike Hercules, I actually trained heavily on my stealth skills, and as luck would have it, I also brought along my hero outfit."

With that said, Maelstrom hid in some bushes, changing his outfit, not noticing that both Cerea and Tempest was secretly peeking on him changing, once done Maelstrom also finished, "Besides, I think her enchantment is all about will power, and as you two know, I've got that in spades, and with you two and the other girls in my heart I don't think I have to worry."

Maelstrom began his journey to see if Icarus was alright.

Circe's Island

Though once he was on the island, he didn't realised that it was protected by Circe's magic, allowing her to sense his presence on her island, which the pig-men waited for him as soon as he had arrived, causing him to groan at his misstep, but as it turned out, the pig-men showed him the way to Circe's throne room, with the girl sitting on the throne.

"Oh, if it isn't the guy who didn't fall for my enchantment, tell me, what brings you to my island."

Figuring the best thing to be was honest, Maelstrom began, "I was actually worried for my friend Icarus, I know how he can be and no doubt had caused you a who knows how much of a headache, all I want is for his safety and that nothing bad had happened to him please."

Never hearing anyone so sincere about someone else's well-being before had surprised Circe, "Hmm, very well, I'll release him, as well as anybody else in my care, but in exchange, you'll have to take their place."

Hearing the offer, Maelstrom released a sigh of relief, "Alright, if it's for the safety of others as well as my friend, I'll take their place."

Now she was shocked, for someone to so willingly accept such a one-sided deal in order to free his friends and people he doesn't even know, and do so with an innocent smile on his face was just mind-blowing for the sorceress, covering her eyes, "G-Guards, bring the prisoners to me at once, to change them back, then send them back on to the beach as well as our guest here as well."

Hearing Circe to allow such a thing, Maelstrom gave a big smile in gratitude, "Thank you Circe, I'm glad you are releasing the people that you've imprisoned, as well as myself since I doubt my girls would like the idea of me staying here."

That caught Circe's attention, "Wait, "girls", as in more than one, you have more than one girlfriend."

Maelstrom rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment, "Ye~ah, to be honest, I had no idea HOW it happened, it just kinda did, I don't why or how, I mostly just was myself, and before I knew it, each one found their way into my heart."

To hear such honesty, Circe was amazed that the man had somehow gained multiple girls, with each one of them being happy at sharing him, "D-Do you think I can talk with your girlfriends and ask them a few questions." Wanting to find out why the girls had fallen for Maelstrom in the first place.

Maelstrom though just shrugged, "I don't see why not, I'm sure they could probably answer any questions that you might have for them."

It was at that time that the prisoners had entered the room, "MAEL, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE HUH!?"

Hearing the voice of Icarus coming from the bill of a platypus of all things, Maelstrom realised why and looked towards Circe, with a look on his face, causing the enchantress to look away in embarrassment, since because of Maelstrom's look she realised that her way of dumping ex-boyfriends and locking them up wasn't the best way to deal with them,"Alright, alright, so I was wrong with changing them into animals and locking them up, it seemed like a good idea at the time."

With Maelstrom replying, "Ye~ah, and the thought of explaining why they're being dumped and throwing them off your island didn't even pop up in your mind(?)" This "question" caused Circe to blush and look away with a pout on her face.

Changing the subject, Maelstrom stepped back to allow Circe to work her magic to undo everything she did to her ex's, "Guards, please escort my exs off my island and make sure that they don't return, I need to finish mine and Maelstrom's discussion."

Once the human-turned-animals were changed back to what they originally were, though Icarus was reluctant to leave his friend alone with the magic-user, Maelstrom reassured the boy that everything will be fine.

With the group gone, Maelstrom looked towards Circe, "Again, thank you for doing the right thing Circe, I understand that it's difficult at telling stubborn people something and they don't truly listen, with Icarus being an extremely good example," Causing Circe to roll her eyes at the obvious, which caused the two to laugh at since it was a funny out come, " but if I'm honest, I think you relay too much on your magic, I mean, how do you know that you've found the right person if they're under the influence of your magic and have no will of their own, it's no wonder that you move from one man to the next."

Realising that Maelstrom was right, Circe couldn't help but question him, "Then how am I suppose to find the perfect boyfriend for myself."

Maelstrom released a slow sigh, "By going on dates, getting to know the person on a date is the whole part of finding the right person for you, without the use of your magic, if anything, your magic is like a blanket, hiding the person's true persona from you, but after a certain amount of time, the blanket fades and you see the person underneath it, trust me, if you try dating someone off your island and getting to know them, then who knows, you'll probably be eating with mister right before you know it."

With his piece said, Maelstrom moved towards the door, leaving Circe to her thoughts on what Maelstrom said, all the while watching the spiky-haired blond walk out, though as if on autopilot, Circe had got up from her throne, she walks to her balcony managing to see Maelstrom as he calls to the sky, "NIMBUS!" Catching the sight of a little cloud that zoomed towards Maelstrom who then hoped onto it, and to her amazement was flying and riding on the cloud, before the little cloud could depart the rider noticed someone on the balcony.

Smiling, he floated towards Circe, placing a hand on hers, causing the girl to blush slightly, "I wish you luck on your quest for a perfect boyfriend Circe, just, keep in mind to what I told you and you should be fine." While giving her hand an encouraging squeeze, before he then lets go and zooms off into the night, though not noticing Circe unconsciously lifting her hand, not wanting Maelstrom to let it go and missing the warmth.

Looking at her hand, wondering why she did such a thing, until, "C-Could it be, no, I need to find out more about the girls he's with."

Three Days Later

It's been 3 days since then, with Cassandra apologising to Icarus about blowing up at him, along with Icarus apologising about interrupting her reading and relaxing, along with trying to be more respectful towards her, not only that but Maelstrom also apologised to Hercules about knocking him out, along with explaining how his brother wasn't in his right frame of mind, with Hercules accepting and understanding why Maelstrom did it, though Maelstrom did tease Hercules about his "numb-tongue" episodes with Circe, making Hercules embarrassed enough that he began chasing Maelstrom around and tackled him to the ground with the wrestling each other and rough-housing a bit. (A.N. Think One Piece where Luffy and Usopp play in the snow, only without snow.)

The next day Circe had visited each of the girls in secret, asking them about Maelstrom and why they all like him, with each one telling her how kindhearted and encouraging he was to them, though she then asked why they decided to share him, with each one telling the same thing, """""He's got a big heart!""""" Though Rachnera finished it by saying, "And a large-!" But Cathyl was with her at that point and cover mouth with an atomic-blush, stopping the teasing spider from saying anything, though Circe knew from Cathyl's reaction what Rachnera was gonna say, as the Sorceress walked away with a slight blush and a little nosebleed, though Rachnera and Cathyl were too busy dealing with each other to notice.

Now Spring-break was finished and the students were making their way back home, as well as back to the mundane life of school, though there was a slight difference, as it turned out when Circe had paid the girls a visit, the man-baby ended up annoying her, which she then used her magic to turn him into a peacock, though Maelstrom was slightly upset since peacocks were Hera's sacred animal, but considering Adonis's personality, it pretty much matched him, though Circe explained that the spell would wear off in a day or two, but not only that, Helen was now sitting away from Adonis, she was now sitting next to Cassandra, with the two talking about something in private, though sometimes the two would look towards Maelstrom, who was sitting next to Cathyl, and end up giggling to each other.

Though during the trip back Hercules was sitting behind Adonis, "H-HEY, watch it with the plumage!" Trying to move the peacock's feathers out of the way.

With the prince glaring and exclaiming, "Oh YOU'RE just loving this aren't you!" Feeling insulted for such an act.

With Hercules laying back with a laugh and replied, "I've had worse days!" Causing him and his brother to laugh since it was kinda true.

With the brothers never knowing what the future has for them, but that's for another time.

The End.

There you have it, Circe making her appearance, with Maelstrom sending her straight, along with Helen realising the truth about Adonis, and a slight mystery on what will happen next, but I'm not gonna spoil anything by saying anything.
