Zeus's POV

"γαμώ!" I am livid! What the fuck is all of this?!

"Z you're speaking Greek again, calm down." Hades has no idea what this could mean but he is right.

I try to calm down but breathing in and out definitely is not working, why that woman feels the need to fuck everything up all the damn time, I would never know.

"Zeus your eyes, what has got you so worked up, its just a girl" Poseidon tries to sound bored as usual but I could still catch the fear in his voice. Yes, you should be scared.

"σκατά!" I run my right hand through my hair, I cannot remember the last time I got this angry.

"Okay, enough! Just spit it out already and stop with all of this drama" Sometimes Poseidon forgets his place and the part where I killed our father to save his ass from the 'whale'.

"Βούλωσέ το" His brows come together in a frown but he keeps his lips in a tight line, wise choice.

I take a long breath, I am certain my eyes are still lightning blue but I know prolonging this would not change anything.

"The 'she' that Poseidon put so lightly might just be the second Nyx in our lives" I breath out frustrated.

"What do you mean, second Nyx in our life?" Hades asks carefully. Nyx was and still is a touchy subject for all of us.

"She would spell danger for us, all of us" I add looking around the room, Poseidon standing on my left and Hades on my right. The purple and ivory themed room giving me some sense of familiarity, just what I need to remain calm. I am still royalty.

"That is not possible, Nyx could only harm us because she was a pureblood, as in, direct from the source of life and darkness and incase you forgot, she is dead" Poseidon states in his usual bored tone.

"You do forget she has one child though" Hades supports Poseidon looking like he is deep in thought.

"One useless demigod" Poseidon frowns and I realize I did the downgrading thing again, I am not sorry though. "She is just like every other demi god, a product of our copulations. She might have a blood link with Nyx being her daughter and all but she definitely did not get her powers, well except her love for revenge. Which honestly speaking, is not a power"

Poseidon palms his face "What do I do with you? No power is useless"

"Not the time Poseidon, he's getting to something here." Hades cuts in taking a seat in this exaggeratedly large room. I like it that way, a room for a king and not just any king, the king of the gods, I deserve it.

"My point is, this girl might have those powers"

"That's impossible. No demi god has ever gotten their parents powers, its unheard of, their parents both have to had been gods, just like in the case of Eros the putti"

"Exactly, but what if Nyx didn't just fuck that human but also let a god screw her on the side?"

"Hah! I knew Nyx wouldn't just settle for a mere human, naughty naughty woman" Hades smirks, sounding weirdly proud. Its a wonder how even though Nyx could kill us all, her and Hades always seemed to get along, well, until she died.

"σκασε ηλιθιε" I was being serious and this κώλος kept interrupting.

"That would not be good for us in anyway, according to our watchers, she has a twin"

"Ah always the aging Poseidon, he is dead. Zeus took care of that, didn't you Zeus? You know you could've asked for my help, would've been a cleaner job." he looks at me with a knowing smile. How did he know? Not even Iris knows that and I trust her with almost everything. Damn! I knew I shouldn't have brought Hypnos into it but I needed to keep her away from the 'accident' and I definitely couldn't trust those witches, wiccans nor the fairies.

"What is he talking about?" Poseidon asks looking at me and I could see his eye colour shifting from aquamarine green to black and back. He is losing his temper but trying to control it.

"It had to be done. You just said it yourself! One is danger but two is surely death! I had my suspicions from the reports I got from Iris and I couldn't take any chances. I don't know about you Poseidon, but I plan to continue living"

"By destroying a whole family?! What is wrong with you Zeus?! do you ever think of anyone other than yourself?! That was her family! How do you think she would be on our side when she finds out w- no no no, you killed her family?!" He was screaming now and I finally realize my attempt at reducing the problem might have actually escalated it.

"τι σκεφτόσουν?!"

"I thought I was helping us all at the time" I grind out. He has no right to talk to me this way, I am his king.

I know pushing him further right now would not end well, Poseidon has always been the most skilled with his power. Even with me still being the strongest, a fight between us would be a tough one to win. That fight between has always been Hades dream and I wouldn't let him have it.

I keep quiet for a while and just let him fume and think about my next words, I cannot bring myself to say sorry but I have to give him something. He treasures family and human life and I really don't get why but... "I am deeply saddened by the outcome of my actions"

"Well your sadness doesn't bring them back from the dead now, does it? And why the whole family?! You could've easily killed the boy yourself if as you claimed, were not just thinking about you!"

He is really pushing it now, what does he want me to say? Im sorry? The only thing I am 'sorry' for would be going through the stress of getting Hypnos to help and not just letting her die with them.

The moment I became suspicious, I had assumed the power would go to the male being the first so there was really no need for killing a potential and Hypnos wanted blood as payment for his 'services' so seemed like a win-win at the moment. Hypnotizing her to a death sleep till it was done was a total waste. I was wrong but I would never say it out loud.

"I am done with this, do not disturb me if all goes downhill" he angrily lets out, storming out the door and slamming it behind him.

"Well that was fun" I could hear the smugness in his tone and it was like a switch flipped in my brain and before I realize what I am doing lightning is heading in Hades's direction.

"Sir what do we do about Mr Cahier?" Iris walks in and the lightning stops directly in front of Hades's nose.

"Emm... should I come back later?"
I take a deep breath feeling the air flow through my body followed by the feeling of electric tingles moving up my arm that I have gotten familiar with.

I open my eyes and give her a genuine smile "No no, it is fine, what were you saying?"

"Well 'brother', she was asking about the situation with Mrs Calloway, you remember she agreed to let them stay if we at least get her rapist ex-husband off their backs"

"Oh yeah... I thought I told you to get someone to handle that"

"Yeah yeah... like always, I did your dirty work"

"I've told sapphire she could go nuts but Mr Cahier has a penchant for threesomes so remind her to take Joslyn with her, we don't want him suspecting anything" he says in an authoritative tone, giving my personal assistant orders. Fine, she is to assist the other gods but she is mine.

"Oh stop brooding brother, I'm not into messengers." he says smugly with his hand already on the door knob. That's when I realize Iris already left.

With both my brothers gone I could finally think properly. If her blood gave the same red-black mix with all the top gods as her brother's did, it could only mean one thing. I can't make the same mistake twice though, I need to be sure, I need that Σφίγξ.

I close the door behind me telling Iris to remain in my penthouse till I get back from my 'errand'. I take the elevator downstairs. I am so glad I do not have to live anywhere near that 'school', would've been hard to not kill her myself.

Ding! I step out of the elevator and walk through the empty last floor which was just a cover to make this look like a normal home. The higher floors held my kitchen, Iris's floor, my study and the top-most floor, my penthouse, held my lair.

Feeling the air flow around me and the scorching hot sun of LA beating down on me reminded me why I had chosen this place. This place is perfect for me, always seems to be crawling with potential supernaturals which sorts of makes me seem normal. My brothers and sisters, as well as other gods are scattered everywhere, felt too risky for us to stay in one place.

I hop into my Mercedes S class cabriolet which sat on the far left of this massive garage that held cars of different colours and brands. Pressing a button that opens up the sunroof, I start the car and pull out of the driveway, my tyre rising dust in its wake.

I head to the one place I know the last living Sphinx spends his pastime, Egypt. I've always wondered why you would want to spend your pastime in a place where your family was killed.

I take my usual dirt path which was always deserted, I close my eyes with the car still in motion and create images of the exact tomb I knew he would be in, the same statue of a creature with the head of pharoah Khafre and the body of a lion and wings of an eagle with the patterns only mythical creatures of choice could see, the feeling of dehydration flows through me and I am immediately transported a few miles from a tomb in the form of a statue that held no memories for me, but a lot for the great Sphinx of Giza.

I get there few minutes later, shutting the car and heading towards what doesn't look like a door but I know is. I locate the exact pattern I am looking for and connect it with the pattern that represents my equivalent to the Egyptian gods. A sand door opens before me, sand still dripping from the sides, I walk through before it shuts in my face and it fixes back into place.

"I have been expecting you"
