Chapter 4 - From Dusk Till Dawn

In the middle of the night, the Demi-god Matthaios stared at the Goddess of Dawn dropping his savagery and the intent to seek vengeance from the Gods. Again, it was all because of his mother, and Eos was one of the Goddesses who have felt her wrath brought by jealousy. She plays with her red hair while telling the truth about what his mother did to her, and the Champion of Sparta is not up to any hostility nor animosity to disregard Eos.

"Your mother cursed me... I wasn't the Eos you remember, Spartan. After the death of my brother, it undertakes. I didn't have a choice but to guide your father in his path." Eos tells him the fate she has amassed after his father decapitated her brother Helios.

"Yes... I heard about you helping my father and the death of your brother has made you weak and powerless. The miracle is only the one that keeps you alive, Eos." Matthaios said before striding slightly.

"Your presence made me feel alive again, Spartan. You go by the name of Matthaios, yes?" Eos knew what his name is.

"Tell me, Eos. Aren't you furious about the death of your brother courtesy of my father?" He asked if Eos despises Kratos after what happened.

"I was, but I couldn't do anything but to accept his fate and mines..." Eos surrounds the Spartan Demi-god with her slender body.

"No, you were weak enough to give up." He caressed the Goddess of Dawn's curves.

"Through the years of my isolation, I haven't felt a man's touch... Thank you for reminding me how it feels, Matthaios. Thank you..." Eos thanked the Champion of Sparta.

"I would feel bad for taking control of a powerless Goddess, but I'd be damned to do it. I quite had a crush on you when I was an adolescent boy going through hormonal growth." He seized the opportunity to stay with Eos.

"If your mother hadn't cursed me, I wouldn't be like this." She embraced him salaciously, but she was too weak to move her arms and take his armor off.

"I did feel bad for sleeping with my mother's handmaidens too, considering that I'm with someone. And I couldn't believe I'm doing the same mistake again." He sighed, knowing that second thoughts would make him worry.

"Hush, Matthaios. Acknowledging your mistakes? What a manly Spartan you are. You don't have to feel the guilt in you if you just give in..." Eos placed her finger on his lips, holding his jaw to go for a kiss.

"Give in..." He repeated the same words while undressing himself, setting his armor aside to do Eos right on where she is staying.

He tugged Eos towards his lap, granting her the most vicious pounding she hasn't received for years of her imprisonment. Eos gains pleasure from it, of course. And the fact that Matthaios has Helios' powers of the sunlight makes her livelier than ever before. The Spartan Demi-god has his hands exploring her luscious body, and her soft groaning turns him on for more.

"By the Gods, Matthaios! Could you slow down?" Gasping from what he does, Eos was simply delighted.

"Couldn't help it, Eos. Must have been the curse or me..." He replied whilst pushing her hips against him, seeing her body bounce back from their collision.

"Go faster, I'm begging you..." She clenches his back using her hands, but her strength was non-existent.

After she pleaded, Matthaios did what he was told and that is to apply rapid movements to his methods of doing her senseless. Unlike the last time, he doesn't feel guilty about what he is doing brought from what he heard from the nightmares. Eos returns the favor by kissing his lips intimately whilst earning a pounding she would never forget. She clings to her newly-found lover, whimpering from how ferocious he could be.

"I can't take it anymore..." Eos yelped, but deep inside her, she couldn't deny the enjoyment she is having with the Champion of Sparta.

Matthaios ignored it and kept on being rough on her, adjusting her legs to get into a better angle to penetrate through her womanhood. Then again, the Demi-god's libido brought him to use his abilities from his mother and Eos' curse has brought him to elope with her. The noises she makes could be heard inside the cavern, and they cared a little about whom they are disturbing. He pins the Goddess of Dawn's body into the surface, pressing her against it before she takes it from behind.

Their sexual desires have brought them to this, and they are just fulfilling each other's needs. Because of Matthaios' rigidity, Eos was forced to submit to the one who is entering her holes with his twitching manhood. The length and girth of it made her feel a little bit of distress, but she endures all of it for the sake of her satisfaction. Eos wraps her arms around his head, exclaiming in each thrust she gets from the Demi-god.

"Breed me, Spartan. I want to feel you inside me~" Eos beseeched, demanding him to come inside her.

He pulls her hair, kissing her cheek before speaking. "Feels good, doesn't it? And don't worry..."

Matthaios' movement of his hips became wilder, like a rabid beast coiling to get a hold of its prey. And for the last few moments, he became aggressive after he finally came inside Eos. The Goddess of Dawn couldn't stop wailing after receiving the warmth of his seed, and lastly, Matthaios was panting in exhaustion after unleashing the inner varmint in him. He unmounted on Eos' back, hugging her from behind to tell her that it's over.

"Did I do well, Eos?" He asked while grasping her from behind.

"Very, very well. Matthaios. I couldn't even stand on my own after that." Eos agreed with a slow nod.

"Could you?" He asked if she could still stand.

"Yes, I am." She shook after telling the Demi-god that she could still get back from her feet.

"Eos..." Matthaios whispered her name before nipping her shoulder, fondling her breasts before pulling away from her back.

"You came from Sparta just to go here inside Mount Olympus... For what?" She asked after he pulled away.

"The nightmares..." He sat beside the Goddess of Dawn after their quick but unforgettable moment with each other.

"And these nightmares affect you too, Spartan?" Eos held his cheeks firmly, adoring him.

"Yes, Eos... Even if I wield the hints of your brother's power, it wasn't enough to protect me from it." Matthaios told her that he was being terrorized by bad dreams.

"It is horrifying, indeed. You are too young to carry such a burden... Ah, now I could see the similarities between you and your father." Eos kneaded his head while enfolding him.

"You Gods promised that you would take all of it away from him, and I believe that you were nothing but full of lies and treachery..." He spoke in a low tone after being tamed by the Goddess of Dawn.

"You don't have to, Matthaios. Is it your choice to continue what your father left in Sparta that was once maimed by Zeus?" She asked him if he truly wanted to carry on his heritage.

"I am thankful enough to serve Sparta and being its Demi-god is certainly an honor." Matthaios' smile stunned the Goddess.

"I admire your patriotism, Matthaios. But please, do not be offended by what I am about to ask." Eos dared to give him a check of reality.

"And what could that be, Eos?" The Demi-god held her chin, tugging it.

"Whom are you truly serving? The city of Sparta, or the Gods?" Eos finally asked to get something off her chest.

Matthaios was left speechless from the question, not being able to respond to it validly. From his entire life, he has been loyal to Sparta from the day it was rebuilt by Athena. But a certain predicament distressed him and that is the idea, an idea that made him think that this wasn't about Sparta and its people. It is about him and the prophecy he urges not to choose whenever he is given the chance to seek it. He wasn't raised to be selfish, but now, it raises his willingness to become like it.

"What seems to be the problem, Matthaios?" Eos asked if he was enlightened by her question.

Matthaios didn't go for a proper answer, but instead, he was left speechless. Eos has noticed that he was uncomfortable responding to it, so she attempted to remove his doubts with her touch that might calm him down. The Goddess of Dawn snuggled in his torso while using her hand to soothe it, the Demi-god sighed before disclosing that he is uneasy from thinking about it. She thought of changing the topic immediately to prevent Matthaios and his anguish.

"Never mind." Eos scrapped the question.

"I apologize for my incompetence, Eos." The Spartan Demi-god was sorry for his lack of testimony.

"Who says I am disappointed? How couldn't I forgive such a strong and handsome young man like you?" She clarified that he doesn't have to be sorry.

"No... I really should. I couldn't forgive myself for my urges that brought me to cheat." Matthaios pulled away from Eos, remembering his promise that he made to Melinoe.

"And why wouldn't you? Do you feel dreadful about gratifying mines?" The Goddess of Dawn asked, fixing her hair.

"Maybe... Maybe I didn't love the daughter of Hades after all. Maybe, I... I just wanted to save my sister from her torments." He is starting to believe what the nightmares are signifying.

"I know that Calliope is suffering, but doesn't Melinoe go under the same fate? You are not the one who's to blame, Matthaios. You have to abide by your limits of imperfection. You are just a Demi-god." Eos tells him that he has his limitations as a Demi-god.

"Just a Demi-god?" He repeated what she said before standing right in front of her.

Eos crawled away from Matthaios slowly, knowing that she angered him. "Your vengeful behavior is unnecessary, Matthaios. Come, you don't have to be charged with rage."

"What am I to you? Just a youthful man that will give you entertainment? I feel belittled Eos." Matthaios' eyes glistened and turned crimson, and his undying rage has been awakened.

"Matthaios, no. I just couldn't help myself but be attracted to your kind. Your mother's curse couldn't be overthrown. My immunity is weak because of my lack of power." Eos tries to protect herself by prompting the Champion of Sparta.

"Oh, Eos... Right, my deepest apologies." Matthaios lends a hand, helping her to get back on her feet.

After she gets up, Eos began kissing the Demi-god hungrily. Matthaios could not resist but to kiss back, show their lascivious affection to each other. Their fondness for one another was alive then again, and both of them spent the remainder of the night exchanging deep and profound kisses. While they were bussing, Matthaios lifted Eos' left thigh, raising it to clutch his body against her. He heaved the Goddess of Dawn's delicate hair, nibbling her neck brought by his obsession with her fragrance.

"Oh, Matthaios... Please~" Eos groaned in an appealing expression, asking for more from him.

He is not quitting from kissing her neck, but something drives him from doing it. Eos quivered a little, and just when the Goddess of Dawn thought that her newly-discovered lover was up to something lovable, he held the Blades of Athena and shouted before stabbing her stomach with it. He has mere knowledge that without Eos, the day becomes the night and it will be prolonged. The Goddess of Dawn was helpless from the Demi-god of Sparta's wrath, and she was rendered saturating from her blood.

"How could you-" Eos asked weakly, fighting for her life desperately.

"What am I now? A traitor? I'd rather be one than succumb to my mother's curse with you." Matthaios' face was covered with the Goddess of Dawn's blood, spitting it towards her fainting body.

"It doesn't end here, Matthaios. I will serve as a reminder for you. I sense that you crave love and acceptance. I could have given that to you." Eos held Matthaios' cheek for the last time.

"I couldn't see you contemplating my mother's curse... This is the only option, Eos." He has the depleted Goddess in his grasp, watching her fighting to stay alive.

Just when Matthaios was about to run through Eos' stomach with the Blades of Athena again, the Goddesses uses their power to drag the Demi-god away from the sister of Helios. Aphrodite, Hestia, Athena, and Artemis weren't complacent about his actions, restricting him to move with their conjoined forces. Matthaios couldn't fight back, even if he is powerful enough to break through it. Apollo puts the Champion of Sparta into a tight hold before he passed out.

"I told you to discipline your son from the very beginning, Aphrodite!" Athena confronts the Goddess of Love and Beauty after they handled her son.

"He handles himself on his own! I believe that he is out of control." Aphrodite rolled her eyes and defending her son's actions.

"I beg to differ, Aphrodite. He might have found Eos, but why did he think of killing the helpless?" Apollo responded after releasing Matthaios from his grip.

"You have cursed Eos before the Second Great War, Aphrodite. And after the death of her brother, she was not even the same anymore. And your son... I can't, I couldn't bear his barbarism." Artemis walked out of the cavern as she has seen enough from the Spartan Demi-god.

"The sun's about to rise, and without it, Eos will be gone for good. I can't believe that your son puts his hands on the Titan-Goddess we dying to search for." Hestia also left with the Goddess of Dawn's body.

"So what now, Athena? We need a word from you." Apollo waits for the Goddess of Wisdom's decisions.

Athena took a deep sigh and her disappointment towards Matthaios is evident. "I apologize in advance, Aphrodite. But your son needs to be imprisoned."

Aphrodite doesn't want to, embracing her unconscious son. "No. You can't bring him somewhere else! He is staying with me!"

"I too as well, Aphrodite. I'm sorry, but your son should be condemned for what he did. He is getting too far." Apollo agrees with Athena's decisions.

"To the Jails of Tartarus, Apollo."

To be continued...
