Chapter 403: Dumb tasks

We then stayed there to finish our food. God and Lucifer left skipping their desserts which means I have to spend lesser money. And at this point of time, I'm starting to feel like Heracles, I'm given stupid tasks to do all the time. What's next? I have to fight the author?!

"Bye Perseus, it was nice see you again. And thanks for doing my request, because seeing God being a mess made my day." Lucifer said as he bid is farewell

"Yes, it was sort of entertaining." Cain snorted "I would do it, but it might make him refuse to make me die."

"So when I asked you about what you were hiding from me? You were hiding the fact that you're married?" Elektra asked

"Yes."

< Well yes, but actually no. >

"Well sorry to spoil to spoil the happy and congratulatory mood, but how will we tame the horse?" Cain questioned "None of us here speaks horse. Not even goddesses."

"I know a beast tamer who bonded a pegasus, if it helps. Well it's almost time for you to die, so do things on your bucket list before you die, and please before you die, do not give me the cliché shit that you then change your mind."

"I'm not an idiot." Cain scoffs "I'm sick of life already. But I'll do as you asked, I'll just eat my favorite foods and take a few things that I want to be buried with me now that we finally found a possible way How will you contact Poseidon?"

"My girlfriend or wife since you guys now know is a student of his wife, we can work our way from there."

< Luckily I applied runes and enchantments on this room to not let the other gods hear our conversation. Hygeia would freak out if she knows that I'm married. >

-Wait, so when you were talking with Struan, you were jokingly proposing to her, was it then?- Dabria asked

-Look at the date on the paper, it isn't. We aren't married for that long, it was a bit right after we returned from Tartarus the first time. Like the day we started dating, it was a bit spontaneous, but we're getting off tracked, let's go meet Wilson and professor Emma.-

"Perseus, next time I see you, you're going to explain to me everything in detail about your marriage." Elektra demanded

"Is no an option?"

"What do you think?"

"Then no."

"Just so you know, your mother has given me her full permission to have total authority as your parent before she left, authority equal to your current birth parents, so you WILL tell me young man."

"Damn that woman."

"Damn who?"

"Damn uh you?"

"You're grounded."

"You can't ground me, I'm 17 and I'm-okay, I will do as you say."

I then head to professor Emma's house alone as the others are at home, I arrived and I can sense that she's upstairs and if I focus properly, I can hear the constant splash of water, it means that she's probably in the shower. So I entered the house and head to the living room where I waited with my bonds.

Professor Emma then came into the living room in her pajamas and screamed on top of her lungs.

"Why'd you scream? You frightened me a bit there."

"Frightened you? How are you in my living room?!" she demanded

"Hey Perseus." Wally greeted "Window again?"

"No, I just unlocked the door and walked straight in. You guys know how to speak horse?"

"You don't even have the keys to my house." Professor Emma responded "Did you stole my spare keys? Or did you make a duplicate?"

"I pick locks. Cute pajamas. So do you speak horse?"

"Pick locks, I had those specially made...Wilson speaks 'horse'. Why do you need us?"

"I'm tasked by God to find him the first immortal pegasus."

"Which God?"

"God, all knowing, omnipresent, blah blah blah."

"Yeah, what's his name?"

"His name is God."

"So the god's name is God?" she questioned "There are many gods out there, so having a name like that, doesn't it sound a bit pretentious?"

"I wasn't the one who named him."

"Yeah, otherwise, you would have named him Bob." Wally grumbled "Why are you here alone, to flirt with my bond. If so, prepare yourself, because if it's you, it's... easier than you think."

Professor just sighs and shut Wally up and turned to me.

"So what's the name of the pegasus?" Wally asked

"Pegasus, duh. Didn't you read the book he wrote for us?" Professor Emma responded

"I'm not going to repeat the same cycle so next question. And yes I did, just not all of it." Wally replied "So you want to tame him or something?"

"Not just him, but Arion too. You know, the son of Poseidon and Demeter."

"So 'God' wants them, and you need our help to talk with the 2." Professor Emma summarized

"Yeah, you guys come in a package, right? Anyway, we'll be leaving in a few days, I need to meet up with Poseidon for some clues."

"I haven't even given you my permission yet."

"Well I'm only here to inform you of what I'm planning to do. This kingdom have an obligation to be subservient to us seekers of salvation, remember? Especially if you're a royal or noble."

"Damn you."

"So you're not here to cheat on your girlfriends?" Wally asked

"I have no romantic interest in my teacher. I'm into older women and all, but there are lines that I don't cross. I do like reading about it, but participating in it is a different matter."

"What if we say no?" professor Emma questioned

"I know you won't. Besides, I can always kidnap Wilson."

When I returned home, I asked Lia to get into contact with Amphitrite again, which she obliged.

"I can also join in your dreams to help you contact her directly if you want."

"It's fine." Lia yawned "I'll do it myself, you can just focus on your own sleep and try not to intrude on everyone's dreams for fun."
