Chapter 334: Reconciliation (3)

"Elektra, you might want to stop." Pasithea warned as she sees Elektra just gulping the wine down "You might get addicted."

"Sorry, master." Elektra apologized as she finished the bottle of wine "You got another bottle?"

"Oh dear." Pasithea sighs "Alright, Perseus, Hypnos, stop it. It's my turn, you let out enough. Now that you 2 let all these feelings out...do you feel better?"

"Not gonna lie, I do feel a bit better trash talking him to his face."

"I can't believe you compared me to Zeus." Hypnos exclaimed "Out of all the Greek gods, titans or even creatures you could have compared me to, you compared me with the worst one!"

"Both of you are terrible fathers! You are both shit at parenting, just so you know, when my child is born, even if I'm busy, I will find a way to spend my time with him or her."

"Ok, I'll just take it that you are feeling better and take it that as a yes." Pasithea commented "Now let's talk about what you like about each other."

"Cool wings and...cool powers."

"Nice hair, decent person, caring for people who are close to him. Despite being busy, he still find time to make it up to his family and always think of them as his first priority." Hypnos commented

"Ok, do you have anymore to add Perseus?" Pasithea asked

"No, not really."

"You can actually have wings, remember that I sealed your powers? Your wings were one of them." Hypnos reminded

"You made my mom gave birth to me with wings on my fucking back?"

"Oh no, that was the one thing that I can seal without her permission or her notice, there was a slight chance that she would survive with all your other powers and so she took her chance."

"I can fly without them anyway, so it's not like I need them. And besides, I already used magic to scan my body, no wings. I see no wing even with these eyes."

"Because that's the one thing that I haven't given you back." Hypnos reasoned "Besides my wings were the first thing that attracted your mother."

"When I was born...were you there?"

"I was." Hypnos nodded

"Ok, I feel like you guys are not really listening to me and are off in your own world." Pasithea cut in "Let's-"

"She probably knew that she was dying, and you knew it too. Why didn't you heal her?"

"I would interfere with the mortal world too much. She has already given birth to a demigod with powers, something that shouldn't have happened and already interfering with the fates of mortals in that world, healing her would make us all known and the council will have to punish us." Hypnos explained "And so I couldn't interfere as she spent her last moments with you."

"...Did she regret...dying for me?"

"No, to her, you were as you were her gift. She didn't regret it one bit. Her last words were to you. It was 'Live well, I have no care for fates, just live happily and I'll be sure to support your dreams no matter what it may be.'"

I think a few tears come out of my eyes after that.

"Damn, she will be a way better parent that you ever will be."

A mom that I never met, I can't believe anyone would still cherish the same person who killed them.

"You...are not wrong. I know I keep repeating myself, I do not want forgiveness but all I want is to make it up to you." Hypnos replied

"I seriously can't stay mad for long, so just do whatever you want, I really have no care for this stupid session. Auntie is already somehow intoxicated despite this session going wrong in so many ways and an hour haven't even passed."

"That's only because you 2 are disobeying my instructions." Pasithea grumbled "I do not like being ignored, you know."

"Ok, me and Hypnos can be on neutral terms and you help arrange a meeting now."

"No, you have to be on friendly terms. I will not let you leave here without calling him 'father'."

"Do I have to?"

"Oh now, you choose to act like a child?"

"I'm childish from the beginning anyway. Fine."

"I know a way to build your bond, teach Perseus on how to use his wings." Pasithea suggested "It's a good bonding exercise between father and son. Perseus, you are not allowed to use magic to assist you as you are to only fly with your wings."

"What's the point of that? Can't we just do some other bond exercises? I don't know, a trust fall or something?"

"Well do you want Heracles' alliance or not?" she asked me with a glare

"...Fine."

"Good boy, don't worry, I gotten permission for you to be in our realm for a short while."

*****

So I was then led to the place for where I'm supposed to train on how to fly with wings. We were basically standing on a cloud and around us is a vast empty space of a sky. Supposedly this is where young winged god practice their skills as I saw some are flying super far away.

If Diana knows what I'm doing right now, she would be so proud, but alas I'm not allowed to contact her yet.

We brought auntie along, but she seems really out of it.

"Hmm good boy, you were so small before..." she mumbled "You're finally...leaving my nest."

"Alright, wings, how do I get them out? The quicker we end our session the better."

"I believe I should help with that" a voice chimed in as I turned to see professor White

"Grandma, you're not invited."

"Oh, you call her grandma but you won't call me, who's your father, father." Hypnos complained

"Are we still going to argue about this?"

Hecate just giggled and approached me and place her hand on my back. I felt the weirdest feeling of my life as I witnessed a pair of wings sprouting from my back.

"I helped sealed your powers after all." Hecate said "So I can also helped you get them back."

"And here I thought becoming a celestial would help awaken them all back."
