The man arrived some hours before the sunset.

Leonidas and his Father were already in the throne room, Dimitris first (because he was already bored out of his wits, again and gladly escaped one more time) with his Ares Familia guard and Leonidas, with his Caretaker.

He was not sure of what he had expected to see but he doubted it was what he eventually saw.

One of the male slaves held him as he walked down the carpet to them, a walking stick in his hand.

He did not wear the traditional dress for the slaves but instead a long loose white cloth and a sort of scarf around his face with his eyes shut close.

He is blind, Leonidas thought in admiration but noticed also that the man seemed to walk like every step was his last.

He looked impossibly frail and weak, and if he was immortal, old enough to be as old as Renatus.

When the man was finally close enough, the slave bowing and exiting, Leonidas stood from his chair and said, "Wel-"

"Which one of you sent for me?"

His voice, much to every

    The first thing Stylani Laskaris did as she woke up was smell the flowers that stayed next to her bed side as she did every morning.A small smile lit her face while she did so before she used a hand to brush the now moist petals, her eyes moving to the sunlight coming from outside then to the potted plant before moving it away from the rays as she whispered, "You would be safer here."Although the plant gave no reply, she still sent another dazzling smile at it then got out of her bed.As she did so, an Hestia familia walked into the room with her head bowed. "Good morning, Lady Laskaris."Pure irritation appeared on Stylani's near perfect face. "There is nothing good about seeing you when I wake up."The slave said nothing.She let out a small scoff, moving to her vanity mirror and staring at her face. "Is my bath ready?""Yes, Mistress.""Perfect, as usual?""Yes, Mistress.""Can you even string up an entirely complete sentence or you all are programmed to be fools?" Stylani heard

    "So you are really not coming, Lou?"Loukas Mikos looked up at the now honey coloured iris of his best friend and placed Leonidas' hand on his face, the touch making him want to rest it on his chest. "I do not feel so well today.""Really?" Leonidas brushed away a loose strand of hair from Loukas' face behind his ear, a more instinctive like gesture than anything else.Loukas nodded, which was not totally a lie because he did not really feel well but that was because of the fact that he now spent almost everyday with Leonidas and yet could do nothing to him.There were talks that they had become intimate and as much as that would not help Leonidas in certain ways, it did not mean that Loukas could not imagine and think and want his best friend, which due to their close proximity lately, was intensifying.The main real problem was the fact that they were always sounded by slaves or officials, or that stupid Caretaker that Loukas knew did not really approve of their relationship unless

    Loukas had known the evils of Aszül after the thing with his Mother, but when Hermes had filled the air with the herb and touched Loukas, he was a goner.For years, when Loukas knew that Leonidas needed to study and would no longer require him every second, he returned to his island, a Hermes looking like Leonidas awaiting him, the Familiar yet deadly smell of Aszül in the background.At that time, Hermes was the only one Loukas laid with but after a while, he vanished, leaving a now addicted to Aszül Loukas who laid with men just to fill the empty soul that Hermes had abandoned him with.Yet, after all of this, the day Loukas had nearly died of an overdose as his Mother had, Leonidas had come to rescue him for the second time in Loukas' life."It is not here." "Search better."Loukas turned around, hands on his hips. "I never took it, okay? I lied to Leonidas just so I could have a valid reason to be next to him, that is all.""I know."Loukas' eyes widened as Hermes came closer, "I

    Charilaus Diamandis could barely feel blood rush through his leg anymore and bent down to look at the male's head on his lap as he stopped raking his hand through his hair and said, "Cleon."The man made a soft grumble as he moved a bit, trying to be more comfortable while Charilaus smiled, a rare ever sight and continued untangling the curly balls on Cleon's head. "You should go to the bed now."Cleon seemed to make a sound of disapproval as Charilaus added, "My leg hurts."It was a lie, well, a white one but he knew that it would get Cleon's attention which he did as the male raised his sleepy eyes to stare at his Master, "Oh. Forgive me."Charilaus watched him rise up, adjusting his chiton as he looked back at the gold haired man and added with a now awake voice. "Are you coming to bed?""I still have -," Charilaus waved a hand around the table filled with scrolls on his desk. "Some things to do.""I know," Cleon began to rub his eyes with his palm. "I think I should stay and -""S

    From that day, whenever Charilaus was not learning or sparring, he had Cleon sitting at his feet and staring at him while he read, and though they never spoke when this meetings came, the silence soothed the raging demon in him.His Caretaker had gotten mad at the closeness but Charilaus had brushed it off, saying that he was not even bound to Renatus as he was not one of them, but a Pashís, so therefore, he could do whatever he wanted, so help the gods.The elderly man might have gotten upset at the boy challenging him but said nothing, he only ever lost it when Charilaus publicly announced Cleon as his Koinõnos."You lay with that boy, don't you?!" His Caretaker had demanded.Charilaus, thirteen years of age, did not even know how that worked and yet said, "And if I did?""All you Diamandis are the same!" The man snapped and walked out of the common room.It turned out that the reason his Uncle never married was because of the fact that he had a male lover, which was not a crime on

    He folded the last scroll of the plans as he wiped sweat away from his sweaty forehead, a small sound of triumph leaving his lips.She would be happy with me now.The thought made him feel sort of feverish, making him want to be under his gaze like cold water cooling his hot skin.He squeezed his thighs in anticipation, the fact that he had not even seen her in months heightening his needs but kept himself at the edge.The last time she had touched him, it had been ecstatic, and though he had tried recreating the feeling, something he had relayed in his letters with her decreeing that he was not to touch himself until her say so, it did not feel half as enjoyable as when she was in front of him.Was it the way she stared at him with expectancy or like he was something that she was just blessing with her presence that excited him?Leonidas wanted to dig his nails into his arms again but stopped himself just in time. She did not like that and he did not want to anger her.Besides, every

    "Leonidas? Are you alright?" He heard his Mother ask as he shook his head and tried to calm down his erratic breathing."Fine," He replied and looked down at the Loukas on his laps, whispering, "Lou, wake up."As usual, the male stirred, but only a bit making Leonidas try raising his head before he realized at that moment that him going into direct contact with a sleeping Loukas never ended well and tried to run fast enough.Alas, he was too slow.Loukas was now gripping the area below his ribs tightly as he muttered, "Do not wake me."Leonidas felt himself flush at the move as he tried to explain to his parents that this was all a misunderstanding but when he saw the look of normalcy on their face, as if the action did not faze them, his saliva dried up."Do not pamper the boy," Calista snapped as she reached down the male and dug her nails into his scalp causing Loukas to shoot up and shoot daggers at the things around him."Who dared do that?!""I." Loukas turned to the voice, his

    He could not sleep.It had been a day after his Father handed over the key to him and he had wanted to tell Persephone all about in his letter but he could not bring himself to write it.The fact that his Parents were already aware of it kept him silent and confused.Deep down, he knew that if they found out about who he wrote to would only put him a lot of questioning and scrutiny, plus, he would lose her, a thought that did not sit well with him.Leonidas tossed on his bed, bringing his pillow closer to his chest as his nails dug into it since his skin was off limits and groaned into it at the same time.If he did not send her a letter for today, he was in trouble.And if he did, his Parents, now believing that they had justified themselves by at least warning him would be out for it like wolves to a lamb, but everytime he tried sleeping, he kept seeing those eyes of hers stare at him with such disappointment that he woke up with a jolt and sweat all over his sheets.By the gods, he

  • Persephone: Leonidas' Domina    Epilogue

    It had been eighteen years since the war had come to an end.Since rumours and rumours about what had caused it appeared.They said that the citizens of Renatus had disobeyed the gods and had been punished adequately for their sins.That the god Zeus had been killed but had resurrected eventually.That Olympus had gone into chaos because demons from the Underworld escaped and possessed some people, mainly the Ares Familias (which they said was highly easy considering the fact they barely had a brain to think for themselves and that their souls were easy to corrupt)But the strongest rumour had been about a Pharmakis.Though most did not know her name, the few that did barely spoke it. They said that the god who ruled the dead lost his wife and used his dark magic to raise her, the darkness corrupting her and when the Council of Renatus punished her for her crimes, she cursed the land and started the war singlehandedly, or perhaps with her husband's help.However, her name was only use

    The day that Persephone Aetos gave birth, the whole world stayed silent.Leonidas was made to sit outside on the porch, the darkness making it impossible to make sense of anything because it seemed that the moon had fixed itself at their living room window, shining it's light only on her. And particularly because of the fact there was no one sound from anywhere else, Leonidas could hear her screams louder than he had thought he would have to.It pulled at his heart and squeezed, making every breath he took hurt as Circe and Kleopatra sat next to him, their presence seeming like they aimed to calm him down, which he was grateful for, but then after a while of shrieks and scream, he heard nothing.The birds chirped again, the wind blowing soundly as if they were glad it was all over, before he heard the sound of someone wailing loudly.Leonidas stood to his feet and turned as the Cabin's door opened, revealing a Cleon with gloves and a sort of net over his head, his eyes glassy while h

    "It is usually customary for families to have their portraits being drawn after the wife delivers," Loukas said softly. "Or that is what I heard and since we- We might not, I thought that I should- Just have it done now," Then he chuckled. "Fani and I found it- Exceedingly hard to hand this one over because no matter how hard I tried to replicate it, I could not. Is it- Is it alright?"Persephone felt the emotions choke her the more she looked at the painting, her eyes begging to tear up again though she fought the urge, turning to a silent Leonidas.He was looking at the painting as well, all the humor gone from his face."Leonidas," Persephone hoped that this had not ruined his mood.And when she saw him smile, she knew it did not. "You can have it."Loukas stared wide eyed. "I-I can?""Honest?" Fani asked.Leonidas nodded, "I already have enough things to remember her by. You both do not, so you can have it."Fani already had her eyes glistening while Loukas tried to look unbothere

    She woke up with the rain.Leonidas had his hand around her body, his face buried into her neck while she stared outside the window of the Cabin, her breath steadying.She was cold and though he was keeping her warm, she wanted to walk around because her back hurt.So Persephone slowly peeled his hand off her body, the male making a small displeasing sound though he did not wake up and she stood up from the bed, staring at him.His hair as always danced all over his face and it made her smile, bending to brush the ones on it and kissing her forehead.Minutes later she had on a robe, a cup of tea in her hand as she stared at the raindrops on the glass, her other hand on her stomach.The day was getting close.Persephone before had found it hard to wake up everyday when she knew with each day, she got closer to giving birth but lately Leonidas barely even gave her room to have her own thoughts.He stuck to her so tightly that she even sometimes wished he would let her be for a while.So

    Though she did not want to let him touch her, her feet did hurt and she sat, Achilles sitting on the grass as he held her blistering feet, his rough hands pressing them before she said, "Why are you here?"It was an odd thing to see such a huge man in such a manner as he was, but Achilles was everything odd. "The triplets and Mother sent me. Basically they wanted me to see if you were alright here, and they had things they wanted me to give you.""Not a snakes egg I presume?"Achilles smiled, "No. Not that.""Then what?" She asked then when he did not answer, said, "It is a snakes egg, is it not? By the gods Achilles, I will not let a boa constrictor live around my son.""No," Achilles was chuckling. "Mother personally picked this one. It is harmless and smaller. I already handed it over to Artemis when I came. She would train it when it hatches till you give birth."Persephone was staring at him questionably but said, "Alright. How are the men?""They ask of you endlessly," He replie

    Persephone woke with her eyes falling on the figure seated in a chair infront of her. "What are you doing?" Leonidas paused, looking up from the book he was reading, a small smile coming to his lips. "Good morning," She smiled too. "Morning." He raised the book in his hand. "Reading. I found it a bit hard to sleep so I decided to see what you like about them." She chuckled, "And?" "It cures boredom until your favourite person wakes up and you want to throw the book to the wall cause you do not really like it," Leonidas said, setting the book down on the table as he walked to the edge of the bed and sat on it, brushing away a strand of hair from her face. "How are my two favorite people doing?" Persephone knew that he had no idea how those words made her feel but she smiled, bathing in his love. "We are kicking. That is what he is doing and that is why I woke up. With a kick." Leonidas chuckled. "Want me to punish him?" Her eyes glazed over. "Are you really about to do that, Leo

    Now that he was aware who he was, his body suddenly tingled, goosebumps appearing as he stood, ready to bow before he heard him say, "I am not really into the bowing thing, that is for the other children at Olympus.""Oh," Leonidas said, "Y-You wanted to see Persephone?"His eyes glazed "I cannot enter the Temple, you are only there by pure grace. Plus, leaving home was near impossible now that Persephone is home. I am here to see you.""Me?""A little birdie tells me you are making my goddaughter miserable," Hades said, taking a step forward "Now, I did not come to threaten you but it is very hard to not watch your extremely beautiful face curl into fear."Leonidas' fear itself was rising and jumping over mountains. "I-"Hades raised a hand. "No explanations. It makes me want you dead more," Then he walked to the edge. "You know the first time I saw you? It was your fourteenth birthday I believe, your friends and Koinõnos were skinny dipping in the spring around your Castle, but you

    It had only been weeks but to Leonidas, he felt like it had been years. Staying in the temple while he watched everyone live like nothing was happening. Like Persephone could not just- He had met Fani, her new Koinõnos who for some reason, he could not stand, perhaps because of the way it seemed like she had a bounce in everything she did. Plus, she was attached to the one goddess he knew he would never like. Athena. Athena, unlike her sister Artemis, did not even try to sugarcoat her hate, and it was not because of what he did to Persephone, no, it was just because she felt he was weak and she could not stand it. However, Athena adored Fani, the two being strong opposites as Fani was soft and sweet while Athena was everything that Leonidas did not like her. Proud. Haughty. Athena. Loukas had apologized on the other hand on how Artemis had behaved on the beach. Asides from the fact he had explained that the Temple doors led one anywhere they wanted, as long as they thought i

    Leonidas stood, his head pounding again as his legs shook but he managed to get his body moving while he followed Loukas who was at the door, walking out of it and finding himself outside.And not just outside.On a beach.Leonidas wondered how that had happened since they just walked out of his room but shut it off as something less important.The sand felt cold under his feet, but the sun shone heavily, perhaps not affected by the winter storm below before he saw Loukas standing at the edge of the water and joined him, his eyes meeting the figure at the sea."They always dress like that," Loukas said, his eyes still on the woman. "Men are not allowed in the temple because they always try taking advantage of them but I am allowed because I do not care for women and you- Well, you will survive."She had blond hair and a lithe curvaceous body, the dress she had on wet and sticking to her body, showing everything that it was not supposed to as she kept flickering her hand over a body.Y
