Chapter 14: Visitor From Tartarus
Adrian
It's been a week since the battle with Seth, and I haven't seen much of Mia. I don't blame her, she just lost her mother. And her other mom must be devastated.
We had a funeral for both Terran and Emiko, while Lucy was deemed missing in action. Sadly, we weren't able to recover any bodies, since it was too risky. Angel and Emiko had found us by following Connor, and thank the Gods they did. A part of me wishes they didn't, too. Because if they didn't, Emiko may still be alive.
At the funeral, everyone from the old Team Demigod was crying and distraught. That was a name my parents told me that called themselves back in the glory days. Mia and Himari were hurt more than the rest. I did my best to comfort her, but she kept her distance. She told me one thing, and one thing only.
Mia: "I...I'm going to kill Seth..."
Mytho-Academy went on lockdown. We had just lost Connor and Emiko Yukari, two of our strongest Demigods. With the failed mission, war would soon be approaching. As it was now, we wouldn't stand a chance. Our students were still very untrained and from what I've heard, we've gone down greatly in number from what we used to be.
The rest of us were sad, don't get me wrong. But we didn't know Emiko that much. We were mostly grieving over Terran, however we didn't know much about him either. Lucas blamed himself for Lucy going M.I.A. and not being able to do anything. He vanished into his room and hasn't come out since.
The only person of our group I actually met up with was Yuna. She was sad about Lucy's disappearance, however she was still optimistic that she would be okay.
I met up with Yuna after classes had ended. We met at my dorm, since it was relatively quiet in the Egyptian wing. I was sitting on my bed with Yuna in a chair.
Yuna: "Anything from Mia yet?"
Adrian: "No... I'm worried she'll do something reckless"
Yuna: "I understand, she has every right to be mad or upset, but she can't let it control her"
Adrian: "What about you? Have you found anything on Lucy?"
Yuna's smile faded.
Yuna: "No... Lucy's Mom has been in contact with Hades. There isn't any word of Lucy in the underworld, so she's alive at least"
Adrian: "Do you know how Lily's doing?"
Yuna: "Her wounds are deep, she's lucky she got back when she did. Idril was able to heal her, so she'll be fine. She's just resting"
I looked out the window, reality crashing down on me.
Adrian: "We failed..."
Yuna: "Yeah... We definitely did. But it wasn't our fault. No one could've known that Seth would show up"
Adrian: "Lucy said something about how he did something for her. That has to be how she got her powers. That's the only explication"
Yuna: "She wouldn't make a deal like that, would she?"
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Yuna got up to open it. When she did, her mother, Siyuka stood on the other side.
Siyuka: "Hey, I know this is short notice, but the Gods need to see us"
She grinned.
Siyuka: "What were you two doing in here~?"
Yuna: "Talking about satanic rituals"
Siyuka: "W-What?"
Yuna stuck her tongue out at her.
Yuna: "I'm kidding"
Her mom looked confused but just sighed.
Siyuka: "I hate that you inherited my sarcasm... Come on, the Gods want to see us"
Adrian: "Why?"
Siyuka: "Said they have some plan to help fight Seth or whatever. Come on, I don't want Dad to yell at us for being late"
We arrived at the courtroom of the Gods. However, not only the Ruler Gods were there. All of the Gods were crammed into the courtroom. It was massive to begin with, so all of them from Greek to Roman to Egyptian to Norse, all managed to fit. There was only two Gods that didn't attend. Heka, the Egyptian God of magic and, obviously, Seth, the Egyptian God of Chaos.
From the stories I've heard, Emiko killed Heka when he betrayed Mytho-Academy during the last war.
While the Gods filled most of the room, there were seats for the Demigods. All of team Demigod was there, including Himari. However she looked stressed and her eyes were red from crying. Mia had the same problem, however Yuna was there trying to comfort her. Lucas was sitting by his Mom, however he looked even more emotionless than ever.
Ra: "I would like to call this meeting to order"
Everyone went silent after we took our seats.
Odin: "As many of you are aware, the Egyptian God Seth has betrayed us. Though it is not a surprise, we dreaded this day"
Jupiter: "He has taken control of Connor Yukari's body. He now has the power of his own chaos mixed with Apophis. Now, he is almost unstoppable"
Zeus: "In light of these events, we have concluded there is only one being capable of helping us now. Code name: Scarlet"
Ra: "Currently, they are in Tartarus, serving out their sentence for their crime. However we need them now more than ever. To pull them out, Angel and Lucas Yukari will be assisting us"
Lucas and Angel stepped forward into the center of the room. They stood just outside the circle drawn on the floor. Idril stood close by for some reason, maybe the spell took a lot out of the users.
Lucas held out the necklace his Dad had thrown to him before he was taken over again. With his other hand, he formed a small knife out of shadows and nicked his finger, making it drip blood. The blood fell onto the circle, making it glow a bright red.
Lucas and Angel: "From the depths of Tartarus, we summon thee!"
The circle began to glow brighter and brighter until the floor inside the circle fell in on itself, revealing a hole that led into complete darkness.
I was expecting some terrible monster to come flying out of the hole, however a single figure shot right out of the hole.
???: "Waaaaa!!"
The figure then crashed into Idril, falling on top of her. When the light and dust cleared from the hole closing, we could see what had been summoned.
It looked like a girl around our age. Her hair started out as dark blue but slowly grew lighter the longer it went. It stopped just below her chin. Her hair seemed almost transparent in a way. She had bright blue eyes and a mischievous look on her face already. She wore a dark blue and black hoodie with black shorts. She also had blue running shoes on. The thing that was the most surprising was the cat ears and tail, almost like what Mia had.
Idril blushed extremely hard as the girl had her face in Idril's chest.
Idril: "U-Um, a-are you okay?"
The girl looked up at Idril, with a big grin on her face.
???: "You're cute! Wanna sleep with me?"
Idril's face literally started to steam. Aphrodite called out.
Aphrodite: "I like this girl already!"
The girl rested her head back in Idril's chest.
???: "You have nice boobs"
Lucas immediately appeared behind her with a shadow gun to the back of her head.
Lucas: "Back off, now"
The girl looked back at him and pouted.
???: "Cock block"
She disappeared and reappeared next to Idril, standing up this time. She held out her hand and Idril took it. She then helped her stand.
???: "You're such a cute elf!! I'm Sky! What's your name?"
Idril: "I-Idril"
Sky's eyes grew stars in them.
Sky: "Such a beautiful name!!"
Sky began inspecting all over Idril's body, even lifting up her dress at one point.
Idril: "H-Hey!"
Sky: "Absolutely perfect! You will be my future wife!"
Lucas grew angry and pointed his gun at her again.
Lucas: "Stay right where you are!!"
Sky looked back at her with a mischievous grin.
Sky: "What? Is she your girlfriend? Sorry, you're about to get cucked~"
Ra's voice boomed through the courtroom.
Ra: "That is quite enough!!"
Suddenly, Sky locked eyes with Ra. Her eyes lit up with sparkles in them. She suddenly disappeared and appeared right in front of Ra, petting him on the beak.
Ra: "H-How dare you!!!"
Sky: "There there, birdy, no need to get worked up"
Ra swung his arm at her, however she vanished and appeared back to the ground before she could get hit.
Ra: "It was a mistake bringing you back..."
Sky: "Seriously? You're still mad?"
Idril: "Wait, why were you in Tartarus?"
Sky: "Ra got mad because I was petting all the Egyptian Gods"
Ra: "That is not the reason!!"
Sky: "It may not be the main reason, but it was a pretty big factor"
Lucas: "Why in the hell were you petting the Gods?"
Sky: "They're animals!! They're too cute not to pet!"
Ra: "Enough!!!"
Sky stuck her tongue out at Ra.
Sky: "Fine, birdy. What do you want, anyways? You couldn't have known, but I was about to have a good time with my Succubus harem"
Both Lucas and Angel seemed to get uneasy about that last part.
Ra: "We have summoned you back to help us deal with a problem"
Sky: "Really? You send me down to Tartarus for how long just to call me back when you're in over your heads? Fuck it, I'm in!"
Odin: "Are you sure? We don't need to give you something in return?"
Sky: "Oh, you'll have to do that"
Odin sighed.
Odin: "Then what is it you desire?"
Sky: "I want a wish granted by the time I'm done helping you. And this wish will be granted"
Zeus: "You dare order the Gods?!"
Sky looked Zeus dead in the eyes, which barely anyone was able to do.
Sky: "You need my help, don't you? Without me, you're pretty much screwed. So if you want my help, you'll pay me in full. Am I clear, beardy?"
Zeus: "Beardy?!"
Ra: "That's quite enough. Very well, we will grant you one wish after the job is done"
Sky: "Cool! Oh, and one more thing. I want free rein of the school and the girls who are enrolled"
Ra: "We can allow you free rein over the school, however we cannot give you that last part"
Sky: "Aw! Come on! I want to build a Demigod harem!!"
Ra: "We cannot!!"
Sky pouted.
Sky: "Fine, I'll take what I can get"
She walked over to Idril and stood next to her.
Sky: "I'll be staying with Idril for my stay"
Ra: "We actually have a place for you already"
Sky: "Good! Then Idril can move in with me"
Idril: "W-What?!"
Sky: "Yeah, you'll live with me"
Sky casually started groping her butt with everyone looking. Despite Idril's blushing, her tail was slowly swaying, however she did her best to hide it.
Lucas: "Will you stop!!"
Sky: "God, you are so anti horny"
She let go.
Ra: "Tomorrow, you will be given your mission brief. Then, we will begin our plans for the upcoming war"
Sky: "War? You guys really did screw up while I was gone"
Ra finally had enough.
Ra: "Meeting has come to a close! Begone!!"
All of us Demigods were suddenly teleported outside, including Sky.
Siyuka walked over to Sky.
Siyuka: "What makes you so special? You don't look strong enough to even fight a Draugr, let alone Seth"
Sky looked up at Siyuka, her eyes sparkling.
Sky: "Shock me, Mommy"
Siyuka: "What?!"
Sky: "What?"
Sky giggled and dodged a punch from Siyuka.
Sky: "Well, if that's everything, I'll be off now! Come to me, my cute and sexy elf!"
She ran over to Idril and picked her up bridal style. Idril blushed extremely hard.
Idril: "Waaaa!"
Sky then ran off with Idril, disappearing almost immediately.
I looked over and saw Mia was standing there, thinking to herself. She looked more pissed off than anything. Hoping to comfort her, I walked over.
Adrian: "H-Hey Mia, how are you feeling...?"
Mia: "Is that supposed to be some kind of joke?"
She looked even more angry.
Adrian: "N-No... I'm... just worried about you..."
Her expression softened.
Mia: "I'm sorry... I'm just... going through a lot right now..."
Adrian: "Do you want to go hang out in my dorm? To try and get your mind off of things?"
She gave me a sad smile.
Mia: "Sure, that sounds nice"
She walked over to her mom and told her about our plan. She simply nodded and gave Mia a big hug. She then came back over to me.
Mia: "Okay, we're all good"
We walked back to the dorm, the whole walk wanting to hold her hand or just something to comfort her. But I knew now wasn't the time.
When we finally got there, she immediately crashed on the couch. Her form changed until she was in her male form.
Mia: "Thanks for inviting me... I... need something to keep my mind off of things"
Adrian: "O-Of course. Would you like a popsicle?"
Mia: "Sure, blueberry if you have one"
I pulled out a cherry and a blueberry popsicle for us. I handed him the blueberry while I bit into my cherry one.
Mia: "I'm sorry I've been avoiding you..."
Adrian: "N-No, it's okay. You needed some space, I understand. I... I can't imagine what you're going through..."
Mia started to tear up a bit.
Adrian: W-Waaa! I-I'm sorry!!"
I handed him a tissue.
Mia: "I-It's okay"
Mia sighed and put his face in his hands.
Mia: "I... I never thought stuff like this would happen... It seems all fun and games with the mythological and all these powers, but then someone dies for real... And... of all people... I never thought it would be Mom..."
I couldn't take it anymore. Even if would get hit or yelled at, I couldn't hold myself back. I pulled Mia into a big hug and held him tightly. He gasped before accepting it and crying into my shoulder.
Mia: "I-I miss her... s-so much..."
Adrian: "I know... But it'll be okay. She's watching over you"
Mia: "I... I never even got to tell her about... this..."
He motioned towards his body.
Adrian: "You're still extremely attractive, either way"
My face burned bright and Mia only grew a cocky grin.
Mia: "Oh~ So you swing both ways, huh~?"
Adrian: "N-No! I-I mean yes! I... I-I mean!"
Mia pulled me close, pressing his lips onto mine. My brain short circuited and my face steamed. Despite that, the feeling of his lips on mine made everything around me fade away. All the fear and worry that was filling my head had disappeared.
He finally separated from me, leaving a tingly feeling on my lips.
Mia: "Finally, took you long enough"
Adrian: "W-What?!"
Mia: "It's been so obvious that you like me~"
Adrian: "N-No it hasn't!!"
He blushed and looked away.
Mia: "I may have also been spying on you through your phone camera"
Adrian: "Y-You what?!"
Mia: "E-Ehe~..."
Adrian: "T-That means you've seen— O-Oh Gods..."
Mia leaned in and pecked me on the cheek.
Mia: "Calm down, dummy. I won't tell a soul"
Adrian: "O-Okay"
He started laughing a little.
Mia: "You have suck a stupid look on your face~ This was definitely the right call, I'm feeling much better now"
Adrian: "I'm glad I was able to help you feel better. I've been feeling so helpless..."
Mia pulled be closer.
Mia: "Well, now you can be helpless as my boyfriend"
My face steamed, but I accepted it and hugged him tighter. I pressed my face against his chest.
Adrian: "O-Okay, I don't mind. I-I'll be your boyfriend"
I could feel Mia's heart rate increase, but I decided not to tease him.

Sky
Hiya!~
I will be your wonderful narrator this evening~
After getting lost in the school and having to put my beautiful Idril down for directions, we arrived at the house the Gods had prepared for us.
More like a mansion!!
The mansion was massive. Think of your Bruce Wayne mansion and multiply it by 69.
Heh, nice.
Immediately, I grabbed Idril's hand and led her into the mansion. The inside was beautiful, though describing it would take too much effort, so I won't~
There was a floor layout map near the front entrance. The first thing that caught my attention was a bathhouse, a perfect for "accidental" harem events~
There was pretty much everything you would need. Below the mansion, was a huge basement that could very easily be turned into a dungeon~
There had to be 20+ bedrooms, easily able to fit my future harem.
I brought Idril up to the master bedroom, which was beautiful. It had a massive bed that could easily fit five people and it's own personal bathroom with a big shower and even a jacuzzi!!
I jumped back onto the soft, bouncy bed. Idril looked a little nervous, however she sat down at one of the desks in the room.
Idril: "S-Sky, can I ask you something?"
I sat up in the bed.
Sky: "Sure, what's up?"
Idril: "W-Why did you bring me here?"
Sky: "Because what's the point in being in the human world if I don't have anyone to be with?"
Idril: "How... how long were you down there?"
I kept my smile but turned away from her.
Sky: "Long enough"
Idril got up and walked over to the bed. She sat down next to me and rubbed my back.
Idril: "I'm sorry..."
Sky: "It's okay, it's just good to be back here"
I grabbed onto her breast.
Sky: "Succubus get a little bland after a while, I think an elf would be nice~"
She suddenly slapped me, which I was expecting. And once again, despite her crazy embarrassment, her tail was swaying faster than before.
Sky: "Do you enjoy that stuff~?"
Idril: "O-Of course not!"
I looked at her tail swaying faster.
Sky: "Sure~"
Idril: "S-Sky, don't get me wrong. Y-You're a really cute girl, b-but... t-this is all really sudden a-and I haven't known you for very long"
Sky: "Y-Yeah, sorry. I get a little blinded by cuteness sometimes"
Idril: "I-If you want me to stay and help keep this place in order, I can. I recently lost the few people I was working for..."
Sky: "The reason I was summoned back?"
Idril: "Yeah... Angel is still here, but... she said not to worry about her right now. Though... she's going through a lot too..."
She started to tear up.
Idril: "It was my job to protect Lucy... and... I wasn't there when she needed me..."
Sky: "Hey, don't talk like that. You had no idea any of that would happen. It's not like you chose to ignore her"
Idril: "I-I guess..."
I pulled her into a hug, not in a weird way this time.
Sky: "Everything will okay. I'll take care of whatever needs to be done. And when that's done, I'll make sure you're never sad again"
She nuzzled my chest.
Idril: "You're so sweet, Sky. And... thank you... I'm a little surprised by how happy and optimistic you are after... you know... being in Tartarus for all that time"
I ended the hug quickly.
Idril: "S-Sorry, I shouldn't bring it up..."
Sky: "No, it's okay. I kind of tamed that place and made it my own"
Idril: "How did you do that?"
Sky: "Most of the people in charge down there are cute Succubus~ So I found a few ways to persuade them~"
She blushed slightly, realizing what I meant. Seeing her all embarrassed made my cat tail sway, which she noticed.
Idril: "W-Why do you have cat ears?"
Sky: "Because I'm not fully human~"
Suddenly, my skin started to turn blue and slightly transparent.
Sky: "I'm a slime demon~"
Idril: "Slime?"
Sky: "Yep, I'm all slimy~ And because of that, I can give myself anything I want to look cute~"
My skin turned back to its original state.
Sky: "Right~? Don't these cat ears make me look cute~?"
Idril: "Mhm!"
Her tail was swaying fast, which I'm surprised she didn't notice. But I sure did~
I looked over at the dresser and my tail immediately stopped swaying. I looked over at Idril.
Sky: "Hey, I don't want to sound mean. But can you leave for a bit?"
Idril: "Sure, I don't mind. Do you want me to make you something to eat?"
Sky: "Yes!! Salmon!! Salmon salmon salmon!!"
Idril giggled.
Idril: "Sure, Kitty. I'll let you know when it's ready"
Idril got up and walked out of the bedroom, leaving the door open.
I waved my hand towards the door, making a wave of chaos energy close the door for me. I then walked over to the desk, looking at the calendar and a framed picture.
Sky: "Today is your birthday... isn't it..."
I looked down at the picture of my old girlfriend, who was long dead by the time I got out of Tartarus.
I set up a few decorations around her picture and sat down.
Sky: "Happy birthday, to you"
The Gods...
Sky: "Happy birthday, to you..."
They've taken everything from me...
Sky: "H-Happy birthday, dear..."
Tears started running down my face...
Sky: "H... Happy birthday... t-to... y..."
My voice finally broke. I clutched her picture into my chest as I cried, while managing to keep a fake smile.
———————————————————————
Hellooooooo comic relief XD
I'm joking, Sky will have a much bigger part in this story than you think. What it may be, you'll have to wait and see~
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and sorry for making the past few chapters really sad— I'm going through a phase right now—
But really, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you all next time!!
