When he had been younger, he had developed a strange love and hate relationship with her.Love, for the fact that she was a good mother and wife but he hated the fact that she was so-Weak.The hate had only faded that day Persephone had spoken with her and watched her, saying under her breath so only he could hear her. "She is a very strong woman.""Strong?" He remembered asking, "She never fights back no matter what they do to her.""Wars are not always physical," She replied, facing him. "Some are fought on the inside as well." Then she turned back to Aglaia, "I see her look broken apart but yet, happy. She could leave Gerasimus if she wanted, divorce is not against any law but she still stays.""Why?""Because of you," She replied ."And your little brothers, of course. Just because one of you is tainted does not mean that she would let the rest of you be as well. I admire her for that."Achilles had believed she said that because she had lost her Mother even though the woman was s

Leonidas Aetos wondered if he had ever been seasick or if it was the fact that his behind hurt like something had stabbed it, which infact had happened though he did not want to think too much about it and alert everyone to his standing staff and instead let his thoughts wander somewhere else.After the letter, which was so sudden and mind blowing, Cleon who for some odd reason, which was not really odd, helped massage an embarrassed Leonidas' wrists and thighs before he said quietly, "Do you know how to make the pain stop?"Of course, he was being in over his head to ask such to a servant but he trusted Persephone and he knew she would not send anyone to him that she as well did not trust.Cleon smiled, "I can help you soothe that place as well if you'd like."Usually, Leonidas would blush and redden as a tomato if even Persephone had asked that but the thought of taking his hand there made him nod his head in agreement.Thankfully, Cleon did not ask any extra questions and continued

Loukas Mikos hated everything that walked Ariithoë except Leonidas Aetos. That was why it really really pissed him that the boy was unable to leave his room. Of course, he had no problems with taking care of Leonidas because it was a beautiful and wonderful opportunity to stare and touch Leonidas' bare body, though he kept being restricted from touching his bottom, not that Loukas would have taken advantage of his weakened stage. He thought it, but he would not do it. He hoped. Loukas slowly pulled off his shirt, ignoring the way his body reacting to the air around the pool, an inside castle pool by the way, and removed his pants next then walked into it, the water warming his tensed muscles up. Looking at Panag Mikos had brought memories he had tried forgetting for so long. But looking at Leonidas had replaced those memories quickly with the ones they shared together. Loukas shaked those thoughts away as he slowly began to feel himself rise, just an inch but enough to make him

What have I done?His stomach churned, his head spun and yet, he was managing to walk straight out of the ship into the carriage."Leonidas!"Do not call me, please, leave me alone. I need to think. I HAVE to think. What have I done?"Is everything alright, Lord Leonidas?" His Caretaker asked as he opened the door to the carriage.Leonidas managed to give him a small smile, ignoring the sick feeling bubbling inside him. "Yes."As he entered, the man followed behind, the door to the carriage still open before Leonidas heard Loukas call out for him again and he leaned forward, shutting the door close.Panting now, he rested back on the seats, his eyes closed as he tried to calm down before he opened them again and met the confused gaze of the man seated infront of him. "We are leaving without Lord Loukas?""Yes," Leonidas replied, out of breath. "Now. Go."His Caretaker looked perplexed idea, but he knocked twice on the door to signify that it should move away."Leonidas!"Loukas stille

Athena, goddess of wisdom, appeared now, her face in a deep scowl with an helmet and battle armour on her body. The spear suddenly disappeared out of Artemis' hands and materialized in hers as she stared daggers at Persephone. "Why did you stop it?""Because her death would have not been worth anything," Came Artemis' warm voice. The gaping hole in her hand had closed off and a bow and arrow was now in it. "Hades would have torn you apart and the war will still hold. There is no need for it, Sister."Athena's head whipped back to Artemis. "I cannot believe that you left the temple just so you could come here and frolick with a mortal! The mortal that is to blame for what is happening to us!""She was not in control of anything and you know this. You cannot even stop it by ending her life.""It was her birth that started it in the first place!"Persephone at first heard Artemis call her name but it only registered some seconds later. "Athena?"The goddess turned to her, gold eyes swarm
