"
Gods can be a bit crafty at times. When they’re not busy ruling over humanity and watch over those they have special interest in. You have to watch out when they talk to you. You never know if the person next to you really Hermes ready to give you an message from Zeus. Getting tricked into doing their dirty work is both dangerous and humorous depending if you are able to see it coming. I still trying my best to stay on my guard about that it seem. All I know when an god meet with us mortals let just said magic truly happen afterward. Waking up from my long nap was an nightmare as my eyes start to open. Looking up to find an seriously beautiful young woman with curly black hair staring at my body with bright pair of gold of lovely eyes.  I quickly jumped into my first kiss. Giggling as she gently place her powerful hands on my chest. “couldn’t wait to sneak an kiss on your mistress??” the goddess teased at me. Face completely red I try to complain unable to do so when nervous and emotional easily as me. “No I was just surprise that you were watching me like that. So I jumped didn’t mean to kiss you like that Lady Diana. I‘m terribly sorry I didn‘t ask for your permission.” Laughing as she wave her hand against my short hair playing with it a bit staring at her light brown skin warming on mine. My eye quickly widen as I felt her lips touch my own for revenge on kissing her without asking. Which we both knew was causing me to blush nonstop; which most likely going to last all day. “Aww why blush so much? As my champion you have to do what I said don’t forget that. “ She paused for an motion and giggled. “So don’t kiss me without my permission again. I’m an married woman after all have to remain loyal.” I laid on the bed shocked it been just a few weeks now till I Helios Slivers went on an quest to search for the great creator goddess Diana lost husband. Against her wishes of course and she still was unable to accept that I turn out to be him reincarnated all along.  “You going to be okay goddess?” I asked her worried. “Yes I’ll be fine just very happy to have you back in my arms again.” she said smiling. I nodded remember the weeks we spread together and how she would try to act more protective of me. It gotten to the point I couldn’t do anything without permission and I couldn’t have to go everywhere without her or be forced to wear an device so she know where I’m always at no matter what. I figured it was understood able since I turn out to be her true love all long and fear losing me again. Yet I kept getting the urge to sneak off to explore and help a few people in her honor. Yet I know her too well she most always find out and I get punished by her personally. Could explain how she do it but I’m too scare to even talk about it so anyhow I smiled at Diana and calmly asked her. “that good glad you doing good?? Is my punishment over now??” As she looked at me I was sure she was tempted to make it longer or think of it way to make me blush even more. Instead she just laughed and nodded. “Yes since you left without permission and had me worried for what seem like weeks was it?? Anyhow I would said it over and don’t have to do chores and stay in my sight so I can watch you at all time.” I was about to smile and get excited then she smirked getting close to me knowing it’ll only make me go red badly. As I felt her tongue licking on my ears to test my reaction as she softly said to me. “But don’t ever try to do anything without permission otherwise I’ll be force to have to keep you in my room. The punishment I give you this time just get three times worst. So think what worst then kissing that I know will make you get crazy nervous about.” I looked up my eyes soon covered with terror my face now completely red like my blood had gotten on the skin. Starting to speak only to be silenced by an kiss from my beloved. “You understand and if you had any memories you know it won’t end till you get it right and nonstop without rest for six weeks,” “yes my lady I understand clearly If I disobey you again, my punishment is six weeks of us showing our love for each other and you won’t let me rest till I learn my lesson.” As she look my face she giggled glad that an threat she used worked. “Good because we need to go I’m sure there an few missions you can do for humanity. “ I nodded as I went to the bathroom and quickly changed into my uniform and held my two favorite weapons, The archer bow Luna and great sword of Apollo Freya Nyxraga. I normally tend to just called her Nyxraga or Nightrage for short but hey what can you do with an powerful weapon in your hands. I smile as I held an long curved sliver bow shaped like an crescent moon with what seem like divine words curved into it.  Nightrage was in long double edge sword made out what seem to be pure gold surprising since it like carrying an feather on my back. Almost as long at my body it held an sliver guard look similar an pair of raven’s wings with 12 different crystals made in rainbow colors to make it look like eyes around it.  The handle was black and red striped clothe wrapped down tied in a tight knot that able to attach itself on my arms easily. Staring long at the mirror studying my reflection to make sure I got everything right. My short blonde hair kept spiked up and shining almost like pure gold as I combed it as much I could. The bright pair of hazel eyes I held were changing on me again as I sighed in annoyance cleaning my face a bit. Keeping the goddess gift an arm band used for boosting my skills and protection. A pair of blue jeans and armored like shirt with an two crescents on different sides as an full circle was in between the two. The symbol of the triple goddess and belong to Diana as her scared number went down the middle of the breast plate on my heart an roman numeral nine in gold as long with the symbol of her greatness like an badge. It more of an reminder of my pact but hey who ever said I not having fun I mean come on as least I met the love of my life right??  Coming out of the restroom my eyes stared in surprise at Diana were ready like getting knocked in the head and seeing stars. I felt like I was dreaming and became tempted to do something without asking just for the punishment. The divine lady hair was tied in a pony tail as she wore and silk green dress with diamonds shaped like stars and sapphire shaped like crescent moon link down from her. Wearing an pair of thin lens pink glasses giving of an smart beauty look which I bet she did just to tease me again knowing I liked girls who appear smart to me.  I try my best not to stare having an strong desire to kiss her myself or worst tell her she can be my first and want to marry her like I did in my past life, That most likely won’t be an good move on my part. She kept an gold eye liner and bright green lips with or without I’m sure she using an great amount of charm.  “You’re very dressed up today. Almost like you hoping I do something without your permission.” She laughed hooking her arms with mine, kissing me cheek. “I doubt you want to because if I have to punish you again chances are you’re never get to leave and I have to feed you while keeping you tie up to an chair.” Picking up an serious tone from her fear wash over me again not because of the punishment but because I knew she didn’t want to lose me and if I was hurt and made her cry. Then I’m going to regret it forever no matter what I do to make it up to her. The thought of being the cause of her pain and suffering was a lot worst and I wasn’t ready to face that. I would cry for hurting something very important to me. Someone I always did everything to protect. There also an part of me thought I’m so screwed today and hope I get easy missions. “Yes Diana I promise I’ll never…….” She shut me up again with another kiss filling it with passionate lips. “Helios, you can’t make promise about not hurting me. Also you shouldn’t promise that you won’t do anything with permission we both know that not going to happen. Not your nature to be force to do things that isn’t out of kindness. “ Suddenly an smirk came from her lips beautiful when she smiles yet I learn the hard way when she smirk it never a good thing. “Beside if you didn’t disobey me once in a while. I have no reason to punish you so the more you do it the more I can have with you. “ Thinking about the past punishments made my head spin. She never hurt me or cause me harm in any way but she didn’t have to. All I was an easily target when An creator goddess Diana know you so well she know what make you blush and get you nervous without having to hurt you. Doing chores and having to stay in her room wasn’t as scary as massaging her feet and learning to kiss using an pillow, (She claims I won’t kiss her till I learn the basic and once that done she going to teach more then just kissing.) Using the fact I tend to be shy at certain times and nervous as mix with knowing I won’t do anything in front of her she won’t approve of kept me in check. Being trapped was something I can never be used to. As I soon fall on the bed fainting as she catch in her arms and giggled at the fact.  Waking up again my head was in her lap staring down at me her arms wrapped around me on an couch realizing I was at her office as she held me close glaring at an unknown figure. “You know he is able to get back an small crown.” said what seem to be an sadistic edgy voice I just knew I felt an strong hatred toward. “It don’t matter if your priceless man made treasure was stolen by a rouge Dragon. He busy this afternoon and still resting try one of the Angel agents for Hermes or whatever.  We’re only open to hear future missions and spread an day at the shop together. So please leave I don’t care for something that can be found at a pawn shop.” Sitting up a bit better I got a better look at the man. Disgust fill my tongue fast with bright fire red hair down to as least his shoulders. Green eyes fill with jealously and strongly snake eye. He wore an yellow pin up suit fur coated almost like he showing off he don’t care if he kills he’ll wear the skin even if it wrong.  “Sure he resting one reasons gods are the same can’t help an person who can give their angels ton of cash. They only want to have their way using people.” He said slamming the door as he left. I notice an deep rage in the goddess eyes like she wanted to blast him yet doing her best to stay calm and cool. “Dearest don’t ever help that man he enjoy trouble.” I looked at her wondering an way to calm her down. “like me to get things for Dinner for the two of us that can be my mission today if you like.” She start to relaxes a bit and shook her head. “Just do a few things while I calm myself down. You don’t need to be around when I’m like this. I rather not let you get hurt because of an fool who insult higher powers then him.” Nodding my head as I went toward the door looking back at my queen. “I’ll be right back Diana and then we can have that date you were talking about. An full day spread with me,” I Swear if I finally made the creator goddess, the Great Diana queen of darkness blush for the first and only time. Most likely be now and it she mostly waved her hand. “Just be back before 2 O’clock no sooner or later and heed my warnings don’t look for that man’s lost crown otherwise I will be forced to punish you for disobeying me.” I smirked and nodded as I looked at my wrist watch 10 O’clock an good four hours before two as I went off to find something to do. Traveling around the city till I hit an tight spot where the man I saw early came out of the shadows.  “Good to see that the dog is walking without his master keeping him on a tight leash.” “Sorry but I can’t get your item today maybe if you were nicer then Diana wouldn’t gotten mad.” An wicked laughed came out of his lips almost like that never truly mattered to him. “main reason I waited for you to be alone. You see I’m not mortal no less then your queen of an mistress. Loki the name god of mischief master of tricksters and lord of all evil.” “So how could you didn’t sent your own agent to get your missing item yourself.” “Simple kid no fun in honestly and I’m not stupid the person who stole it was the one who lead that little quest of yours and I can’t be caught for making another deadly item that could harm the gods. Trust me kid no fun in getting punished so It better to get some brat like you to do my dirty work for me. Have to respect as least a little of the rules well more shouldn’t get my hand dirty with an item that can break all seals.” I stared at him eyes almost darken with anger. “YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?? Dracula could use that to break his mistress Aurora free and once that happen of course she going to try and take over the world again. Worst she going to seek revenge on my goddess. What make you think I won’t tell the whole world about what you done??” He looked at me like he was planning to pull an dirty secret about me from his nose. “Simple blackmail do good you know. I’ll pretend with an fake crown to your goddess and said you helped me get it back and then guess going to be in trouble after that?” Look at him figuring he wasn’t bluffing and didn’t want to risk getting in trouble so I nodded my head in agreement. “Fine I’ll do it but I’m breaking the crown though so it can’t be used for evil again.” “good and I’ll be going now and you want to find what you seek. Go into the forest Dracula left an monster to guard the item till he come back with the seal and book to learn how to use it.” “whatever just leave.” I said tempted to use my sword on him instead. He laughed as the mischief god left without an word disappearing into the darkness that lay within the shadows. As I headed toward the forest trail to start my search for the lost item. Looking at my watch I notice it was now 12 O’clock thinking myself time fly too much when you have fun.  Suddenly I over heard an voice coming from an cave. Ducking down to find an place to hide as I notice an large shadow was shown from an faded lit camp fired of burned pork and organs which made me deeply want to throw up. Walking up I met face to face with the new opponent I most likely had to face in order to gain the crown. As an woman walked out of the cave my gut turn like an reminder that she and I aren’t good pals. She had the bottle half of an large lizard with a snake like tail with talon for finger nails and fang like teeth. She held an long black hair clawing down her chest which was cover in golden armor. As she had bright yellow eyes “Well you return to Apollo have what mine? Oh well I shall destroy you either way.” “Python didn’t I seal your powers away a long time ago?” “You did but I used the crown I’m wearing to bring them back and as a bonus I’m a lot stronger then ever.” Smirking as I saw the crown on her head an gold piece with rubies and sapphires on the tip shaped like an crescent with spikes. Before I knew it an claw like hand try to hit me forcing me to fall back where I jumped using my hand as a balancer landing in a tree.  “Aww you missed thought you knew me so well?? By the way I’m going to defeat you and break the crown all the same this going to be so much fun.”   Pulling out Nightrage out of it Sheathe as I jumped out of the tree just when Python breathed fire at me dodging it as fast as possible. I ran at her swinging my sword where she grabbed with her bare hands. Smirking as she swung her tail at me causing me to jump up in the air as I grabbed onto the string swinging the sword from afar. Python quickly did what she did to dodge getting hit in the arms screaming in pain as it fell clean off. Soon the arms grew back as She looked at me with an more enraged look. “Be glad I learn how to heal from these wounds otherwise I could of lose.”  The table soon turn against me as wings came out of the she dragon back bat like with leathery as she flew at me attacking me with quick speed. Causing me to dodge and not enough time to make an move. Sudden she got me up to a tree where she shoot spikes like arrows out of her tail hitting my arms and pinning me to the tree.  Soon Python shot an large fire out of her mouth hitting me right at me. As my Vision start to get bury, my body felt like it was heavy fall to the fall as she took my sword and threw it down hitting my back just to finish me off as my eyes closes.  Images filled my mind as I overheard laugher. Images of the Diana crying saying she was happy but sad. She was glad to had found her love but seem hurt that it took me so long to return to her. As I open my eyes again Python was half away leaving me to die. Heat filled my breathe like I had just swallow a bad taste of flames. I move my hand up grabbing my sword out of my back as I yelled out.  “HEY She beast we’re not done yet.”  Before Python turn around I was quickly back up as I ran straight at her punching her straight on the jaw my hands covering in flames. Quickly send flying toward the wall of her own cave as she dangerously glared hiding an fear deep under her breathe. “You can’t be alive you just a no good human now.” “I failed her once and I broke an promise that after I was done with a battle I’ll return; But NO MORE I HAVE AN DATE and I shall not be late again. Time to you show you what I’m made of by giving it all I got my energy my strength my heart and soul,”  As I said this my energy took form out of my words as an bright aura of flames round around me golden and pure as I held out my hands which had Nightrage in it getting ready to fight. “This sword true name is Excalibur but I don’t think she mind if I called her something else sometimes.”  As round two started I swung my sword at Python while she did her best to dodge my move. My flaming aura soon went down to my blade as my flame covered sword was now held all of my energy inside while I swung endlessly at my enemy. She tried flying up shooting out spikes and flames all out at me. I slashed my sword quickly taking down both spikes and flames deflecting them as my energy got shot out as long with them nearing cutting the she dragon in two luckily her armors protected her from most of the impact. Flying up myself as I held the sword with both hands putting everything in my next attack my heart body soul and mind filled with my pain and joy light and darkness.  As Soon I did this another form of energy appear on my sword both bright and dark as I notice an large black flames with bright golden highlights cover it on the side. Curved like an crescent as I soon shot the energy as Python smirked as she used her spikes as she shooting them all out again while I attacked and didn’t think as shot shoot flames to try and hit me again. The energy got send out as it cut though all the spikes as one hit my cheek. After getting hit point blank Python laughed. “that all you got please I could do…..” before she could finish her body went apart while she faded straight into shadows as I found the crown broken and burn up because of the fighting. I sigh glad that I still had time to get back to Diana before it noon.” Sadly I had a rude awakening after getting send flying half a mile by an fist I didn't see coming. “YOU IDIOT You’re lucky I got her and send you an image to force you want to regain your energy back. You are in so much trouble.” The goddess yelled as I notice tears in her eyes she saw the whole thing and was worried that I would have been lost to her again.  Only thing I could think of doing. I kissed the goddess without permission. Hey called me stupid but as long it helps as She stubbornly pull away as I clean the tears causing a small chuckled.  “Gee you know I don’t break my promises so next punishment would be what?? Torture though teasing, cleaning up the whole kingdom bare handed, or what?” “You cocky little kid your punishment is simple you can’t do any thing for Loki again disobey I won’t give anymore warnings you’re be lock in your room for a week cleaning up after the dogs.”  Soon I felt fear since knowing her pack of dogs it would take a week in order to clean it all up. “I’m Sorry I disobey wait how you know it was Loki??” “I’m the creator goddess and I knew he would try to pull something like this. He still going to get on to though either way you were saying something about an promised Date fine then let go and after ward you going to give me more kisses understood.” “Yes ma’am I’ll do that.” As she turn around I swear to this day she was giggling that she always get her way in some form. Soon she asked me. “about that attack you did never seen it before. A balance of emotions and energy what you call it?” “hmm an new series of balance attacks this one shall be the Moon-Shade Cut.” “Moon-Shade?? I swear Helios you make everything sound like an book or poem.” “An book series called the Moon-shade I like that idea but now it should just be an attack only an weirdo more insane then me would write it neither way.” Grabbing my hand as we both laughed while she dragged me to her date as she giggled. “well the world may never know but as least you not getting out of this date now come on we have work to do to turn you into a gentleman.” “Oh boy I’m doomed after this.” Soon I was starting to fear if dating meant I may end up different well as least it with Diana and nobody else because I could already tell this world would just have more mystery and I’ll love to find them out.
