Chapter 364: Bad place for a reunion

"Now, I'm sure everyone picked a divine item of their liking, you may spend your time here for rest or you can go on your way." Nyx offered "Perseus, are you sure you don't want a divine item?"

-I wanted to get one for Jake, but he can't wield the things here without dying.-

-Yeah, luckily we're your bonds, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to use divine items either- Damon commented

"Nah, we're already intruding on too much, and I sorta punch you really hard so I'll try not to owe you any other favors."

"Well take them down or else you'll be throwing away all my expectations away." Nyx replied

After that, we met up with Urie and Erix again to continue on our journey with Cain as our guide. Dabria and Hygeia are going to go back to god's realm but they will have to exit through the giant hole we dropped in, so they will have to go on their separate way.

Dabria got a new necklace cord, the pendant is the same silver sword we had Eliza made a long time ago, but the cord is a divine item. Ace and Siege got a collar with our silver sword pendant which is weird since Siege hates wearing one as it reminded him of his time when he was captured by slave traders.

Diana got new earrings which is only visible for when she's in her human form, but apparently she can still use its powers when she's in her bird or phoenix form. Damon got a watch, similar to Diana, it'll be only visible when he's in his human form. We got 3 out of 10 now which is good progress since even I thought it was going to take much longer just to get one.

Jake got some rest and a proper nap while we were in the vault, he may be a celestial, but he's still an old retired guy. So we then start on our long run again heading for Helios, one of the titans guarding one of the fragments

Dabria and Helena are flying up from Tartarus to go back to the underworld.

"Finally, freedom. Well almost there anyway, should be a few minutes." Hygeia commented

"Well, glad to be of help even though technically Perseus was the cause of it, Nyx definitely would have married you both off if he didn't muster up the courage to punch her in the face." Dabria grumbled

"I don't think I've ever heard of anyone punching Nyx in the face before, even Heracles wouldn't do it. She would kill him, when I was in the palace, she paid a really close eye to him you know." Hygeia reported "She was so ticked off when she couldn't see what he was doing in Elysium, since Elysium have a privacy rule."

"I'm pretty sure everyone already know the truth of him being Hypnos' biological son in his past life, so unless the gods are dumb, they can easily guess that he was going to meet his previous mother."

"More lucky that they aren't gonna punish Hypnos and Elektra for hiding a demigod. Gods should know that they should make sure their child will be born like an average mortal. "

"Well Perseus already died once by the hand of an enforcer, so they can't punish them anymore since he had to die just to come here." Dabria reasoned

"You're...more nicer when you're talking about him, unlike that time he was brought into my father's quarters to be healed."

"I'm always nice, thank you very much. I respect my seniors, though I wouldn't expect one to be a fan of mine."

*****

Apollo opened a portal to the underworld for the group of people who are attempting to meet up with Perseus. Eleanor is still bound and is being accompanied by Albert, Aenon, Amora, the Steels, and Cordelia.

Emma brought her pegasus, Wilson, along for he ride. The Steels alongside the pegasus took a short test to become a corrupted under Amora's instructions so that they can at least survive down in Tartarus, Eleanor doesn't need to become one as the spirit of Pythia will protect her.

Emma is riding on Wilson with Emma on there tied up so that she wouldn't fall off. Apollo isn't coming a long but he did leave them a slip of gold plated label of his name which they can summon him with.

"Be quick." Apollo advised "The longer she is without my blessing, the more crazier and unstable she gets. She'll experience a lot of irregular vision to the point where she can no longer be sane, so bye bye now."

"Shouldn't you have told us that 2 days ago?" Craig asked

"Well I'm not the god of memories." Apollo retorted "I have thousand years worth of knowledge in my head, there are things I forget sometimes."

The portal then closed stranding them in the underworld

"Hmm, if I remember correctly, Hypnos did say that his cave is in that direction, we find him and he can then lead us to the entrance of Tartarus." Cordelia informed them "And whatever you do, do not touch that river over there ever. Your body will apparently slowly dissolve leaving only a remnant of your soul behind."

"And Perseus bathe in it. He really is dumb sometimes." Craig sighs "I can't believe I trust that guy enough to raise my daughter."

"Didn't dad give you all that informative book on Greek mythology?" Amora asked "He bathe in it for a good reason. Besides, he has many good points."

"Well it's because he once grew up without parents, so he chose not to do the same and be there for his child, whether they are even related or not." Cordelia reasoned

"Helena said that Dabria is close." Aenon informed the group "Which is weird, so we might not even need to meet up

"Let's head toward her direction then." Albert suggested "She definitely knows how to get to Tartarus and how to escape when things go wrong."
