Medusa

Hikari then let out a sighed. "Holy shit we just meet a primordial god".

Yami also sigehd. "Yeah, and that was Nyx who is my grandmother".

Luke then looked at them. "Let's just ignore this every happened nobody will probably beliv-".

As then they forgot who they meet, they only rember the birds, as it was Nyx way to keep them quite, they only remember figthing the metal bird after waking a while they arrived in a diner named Madam M, will in there case the word's didn't even match

Yami then spoke. "I hate dyslexia".

Luke just sighed. "As a demi god you will get use to it"

Hikari the spoke. "Personally speaking a never had much of a problem with it"

As then the door opens, as walking out was the what the trio of Boys could say was the most beautiful girl they can see, she had long pink hair, she had fair skin looked greek, she had fair skin and pink hair she has red like mark on hee head, as she was wearing a turtle neck with of Jean's

The woman looked at them. "Are you there children ok".

Luke mind was giving him alarm bells. "Ye-".

But he was cut of my Hikari. "Yes we are, but can we stay for but lady".

The woman smiled. "Of course come in, and you can call me Madam M, the owner of this place come in you boys and girl come in".

Hikari once again released he was mistake for girl, but this pointed he just rolled with it, so they walked as they did they saw it was dinner and a garden for her many Monster statues, they were taken to a table

Madam M just looked at them with a smile. "You take a seat I will bring the food, so you there rest".

As she left, leaving the Trio of Demi Gods alone.

Yami looked around and spoke in a wishper so only Hikari and Luke and hear. "Why do I feel like we walked into a Boss den".

Hikari glanced around, eyes narrowing slightly as he observed the garden with its strange, life-like statues and the overall atmosphere of the diner. The place felt… too inviting, too peaceful. It was almost as if it were designed to lure you in, making you feel safe and comfortable. But deep down, something about it unsettled him.

"I get what you mean," Hikari whispered back to Yami, glancing at Luke, who seemed just as cautious. "There's something off about this place. It's almost too perfect."

Luke, who had been scanning the room, leaned in closer and spoke in a low voice, his eyes darting between the statues and Madam M's retreating figure. "It's too quiet. It's like she's trying to lull us into a false sense of security. This is either a trap or a test."

Yami grumbled under his breath, still uneasy. "I hate when my instincts are right. We need to be careful here, guys."

They sat down at the table, the scent of food wafting from the kitchen. The dim lighting and soft music made the place feel oddly cozy, but it did little to ease the tension in the air.

Hikari leaned back in his chair, his hand subconsciously resting on his watch. "I think we should just stay on guard. We don't know who or what we're dealing with yet. She could be a friend, but she could also be leading us right into danger."

As they continued talking, they heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching. Madam M returned, her hands laden with plates of food. Her smile was warm and welcoming, yet something about it seemed almost too perfect.

"Here you go, boys and girls," she said, setting the plates down with a flourish. "Eat up. You must be starving after your journey."

Hikari hesitated for a moment, eyeing the food warily. "Thank you, but what's your interest in us? You don't seem like the typical diner owner."

Madam M chuckled softly, her voice a melodic lilt. "Oh, don't worry about me. I'm just here to help those in need, offering them a place to rest and eat. You three seem like you've been through a lot, so I wanted to give you something to refresh yourselves."

Luke exchanged a glance with Hikari and Yami, his suspicion growing. "Right. Just doesn't add up. People like you usually want something in return."

She tilted her head, still smiling. "What makes you think I want something from you, dear?"

Yami looked at her with narrowed eyes. "Why else would you be feeding us, bringing us here of all places?"

Madam M's smile faltered for just a moment, before returning to its usual warmth. "I simply saw three young adventurers in need of help. You've been traveling for so long, haven't you?"

Hikari decided to press further, not buying her act. "Okay, so you're a kind Samaritan. But why the statues? Why the garden filled with them?"

At that, Madam M's expression softened, almost wistful. "Ah, my garden. It's filled with memories. They are my friends, my creations." She gestured to the statues around the garden, her eyes glinting with a strange mixture of pride and something darker. "They're all gifts of my own making. They remind me of... better times."

Yami raised an eyebrow. "Gifts of your own making? You created all these?"

Madam M nodded. "Yes. Each one of them represents something dear to me. They're... my protectors." Her gaze lingered on the trio for a moment too long. "But enough about that. Eat. Rest. When you're finished, we can talk more about your journey and what lies ahead."

Despite her insistence, the trio felt no more relaxed. In fact, the more Madam M spoke, the more they couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. The statues seemed to almost glare at them, their eyes piercing and unnervingly lifelike.

Luke finally broke the silence, speaking in a low voice. "We need to be ready. I don't trust this place. Something's wrong."

Hikari nodded, his hand still on the hilt of his sword. "Agreed. We stay alert."

Yami glanced at the plates of food, then back at Madam M. "If you really just wanted to help, why the theatrics? Why the weird atmosphere? This doesn't feel like a simple dinner stop."

Madam M laughed softly, her voice light and airy. "Oh, dear. You're all so suspicious. But that's the fun of it, isn't it? The unknown. You'll figure it out in time. But for now, eat. Everything here is... safe."

The trio exchanged looks, each of them weighing their options. They could eat and continue playing along, but the thought of falling into some kind of trap weighed heavily on their minds. But, in the end, they were all hungry, and the food was right there in front of them.

Reluctantly, they dug into the meal, though their minds were still alert, searching for any sign that would reveal the truth of this strange diner.

Hikari looked at her and spoke. "Who really are you"

He was ready to tune the watch, use her exco skeleton and turn to his wolf worriers, as he looked at her as she smiled.

Madem M then spoke which then sent to battle mode. "My name is Medusa".

Luke pulled out his sword, Yami then summoned his scythe, Hikari then turned into his wolf mode his robot arms and claw and blades ready to strike.

Medusa then looked at them. "Oh don't worry, I am not that Medusa".

They stopped and looked at her. They just looked at eachother.

Yami then spoke. "What do you means".

Medusa looked at them. "Tell have you heard of the story of the There Goddes".

Hikari looked at her and spoke. "I have it is very and I mean very lesser know myth, some say it was the start of the Medusa Myth it goes like this, a long time ago after the Olympus gods destroyed the Titian and took there place, when that happend Gaia the earth mother knew that the Olympus didn't have goddes of love which humanity needed so from her body and the blood of rrh Uranus the sky god she created 3 Goddes, ever young and beautiful never ageing, but there was Mistake the eldest if the three children of Gaia was not right fully made she grown old even then she was used to protect her sister, she was the most Beautiful and most loved and yet she then cough the eye of Poseidon but not in a Lustful way, he invited her to the Olympus the gods got along but then tragedy's stuck, Zeus tryed ro take advantage of the eldest he was stop by Poseidon in fear the Tree sister ran away never to seen again, it says Poseidon still looks for them".

Medusa smiled. "Tell me what the eldest Sister name there was reason why people think this was the start of Medusa story".

Hikari Blinked as she spoke. "The oldest sister name was... Medusa".

Luke then stopped. Luke then spoke in shcok"Waith don't tell that"

Medusa then looked at her. "Yup, that is correct there is two different Medusa, me and the Mortal that Artemis crushed, I was never harmed nor me and Poseidon had any relationship in lover sense, he was like a friend".

Yami just sat down. "Will that is something, so greek Mythology actually has two different Medusa a monster and a goddess and both are not even related".

Medusa then srugged. "Yeah pretty much, it is very big coincidence that she and I had same name and before you ask keep this quite no need do tell anyone at all".

Hikari, still in his wolf mode, lowered his claws slightly, though his suspicion didn't fade. He studied Medusa carefully, trying to make sense of what she was telling them.

"So, you're telling us that you're the real Medusa, the goddess? And the monster Medusa that everyone knows is a completely different person?" Hikari asked, his voice low but firm, as he shifted back to his human form, his enhanced senses still on high alert.

Medusa, or rather, the goddess Medusa, nodded slowly, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and somberness. "That's right. The mortal Medusa, the one cursed by Athena, was a tragic story. But I, the true Medusa, never went through any such curse. I was never the monster everyone believes me to be." Her smile was small, almost melancholic as she crossed her arms. "It's a misconception that has lasted for millennia."

Yami, still holding his scythe but no longer aiming it at her, leaned back in his chair. "So, what happened to the sisters? The ones created by Gaia? What does this have to do with you hiding out here?"

Medusa's eyes darkened slightly at the mention of her sisters. "My sisters... They were scattered, lost to time. I've spent centuries searching for them, but so far, I've found no trace. Some say they were erased from existence by the gods, some say they went into hiding, fearing the wrath of Zeus and others who wanted to control them." She paused for a moment, her voice tinged with regret. "And yes, I've been hiding too, keeping a low profile. People like me—goddesses of love, beauty, and life—aren't always welcome in a world full of gods who thrive on power and war."

Luke took a step forward, his sword still gripped tightly in his hand. "So, you're here to find your sisters, then? That's why you're in this diner, why you've been watching us?" He glanced at the statues in the garden. "And those... are they the ones you've lost?"

Medusa turned to look at the statues, her gaze softening as she nodded. "Yes. Each of those statues represents a piece of what I've lost. They were once people I loved, or those who were kind to me when the world didn't understand. They're my memory, my protection. Each one of them... was a gift."

Yami raised an eyebrow. "A gift? So, you turned people into statues to keep them with you? That's a little... creepy, no offense."

Medusa laughed, but there was no humor in it. "It's not that simple. These aren't just ordinary statues. They're connected to me, and they hold the spirits of those I've lost. It's my way of preserving what I care about... even if the world doesn't remember them the way I do." She paused, looking back at them. "But I'm not the villain people think I am. I've never been."

Hikari thought for a moment, his sharp mind piecing things together. "So, you're hiding from the gods and the world, hoping to find your sisters. But, the question remains—what do you want with us? Why help us, or give us this place to rest?"

Medusa smiled again, but this time, it was a little more knowing. "You three... You're connected to things far beyond your understanding. I see potential in you. The gods' politics, their games—they will affect you whether you like it or not. I offer you a place here, as a sanctuary, as a way to avoid the worst of the chaos."

Luke clenched his fist around his sword. "You want us to be your pawns in this game, don't you?"

Medusa's smile remained, but her eyes hardened slightly. "I don't need pawns, Luke. I'm offering you protection. If you're going to be involved in this world—this world of gods and monsters—you'll need it. I can give you that, but at a price. Not your souls, but your loyalty. That's all."

Yami looked between the three of them. "So, you're asking for our trust? Our allegiance? What exactly would that look like?"

Medusa stood up slowly, her eyes locking with theirs. "It means staying here for now, learning what I have to teach you, and perhaps... helping me in the future. You'll learn more about the gods' games, the truths they keep hidden, and how to navigate them without being crushed. You may even find your own paths—paths that may cross with mine."

Hikari stood up too, his senses still on high alert. "And if we refuse?"

Medusa's expression didn't falter. "Then you go out there, unprepared, unaware of what's coming for you. The gods are not kind to those who don't play their games, Hikari. Your lives may be in danger sooner than you think."

Luke, Yami, and Hikari exchanged looks. It was clear that Medusa wasn't exactly giving them much of a choice, but they knew she was right about one thing—they were walking into a world of gods and monsters, and they would need all the help they could get.

Finally, Hikari spoke. "Alright. For now, we'll stay. But we're not joining any sides until we know exactly what's going on."

Medusa's smile returned, this time with a hint of approval. "Wise choice. And remember, you don't need to trust me... But you'll need to trust what I offer."

With that, the trio sat back down, their weapons still ready, but for now, they would rest. They knew their journey was far from over, and Medusa had just made it even more complicated.
