Thought the nightmares vanished when she laid with him, the habit of hers to wake up early had not gone away.

That was right now, as she sat on the rocking chair with Kleopatra on her laps, she stared at him.

Persephone felt that it was a sin.

Not the sort of sin that seemed to bother the people of the Old world, no, though she did think such little rules on what was good and what was evil was silly, her own example of sin was far distorted.

Why would the gods create such a being and then leave it in the wild?

Looking at him now, she wondered how long he would last before the war began, if she had not come into his life.

At this current stage.

Dead at the first battlefront.

Well, she already knew the answer to the question. The gods enjoyed games. Drop it in the wild and watch it try to survive, if it did not, sad but next person might try harder, and if it did, it was an anomaly that should be destroyed.

Just like her.

She would never have survived long enough with the voice

    Stylan Laskaris stared at her gloved hands, the carriage rocking ever so quietly as it moved.What was she doing?Was this not too irrational, even for her?And to see Kynaki that surprised made her worry."You are going to Castle Diamandis?" Kynaki Florakis had asked, her ever teasing voice now filled with confusion. "The Apollo's Castle?""Yes, yes, try and keep up." Stylani was painting her nails as she replied."Are you delirious?"Stylani paused and looked up at the female, "That is a question I have wanted to ask you from the first day we met.""Do not try switching the subject, Lani." Kynaki replied with seriousness in her voice. "I am sure you have heard the rumours of that place.""Same way there are rumours about me.""But yours are true.""Oh stop, you flatter me.""I was talking about the rumours of you being evil.""Your existence pisses me, Kynaki."The rumours were that the daughter of Charilaus Diamandis was possessed and a Pharmakis just like her Mother, and that peop

    Their heads turned, Stylani seeing a figure with her hair loosely packed and some strands over her face with a black singlet, trousers and black boots.She noticed that the person was too slim to be a man and then noticed with alarm the tiny bosoms on her chest.Persephone reached them with a servant behind her as she kept wiping her hands on a cloth, "A person who engages into an argument and brings someone who is entirely innocent into it, is nothing less than a fool."Stylani watched her return the cloth to a slave, noticing something red on it. "Is that-""Blood," She replied with a nod. "As you can see, we do not have guards or hunters here so I do it myself." Then she turned to the servant, "Thank you, you may leave."The servant bowed, walking away before she turned to Stylani, her eyes looking like they would rip her into pieces if she had the chance. "Lady Aglaia is like an Aunt to me. Slandering her name would not be permitted as long as you are under this roof, do you under

    He looked at her wondering why there was a warm feeling in his heart as he saw her run through the fields.She was beautiful, yes, but he doubted that was his only reason."Ye," He tried to add the dominance Father said they had to have when speaking to women as she turned to him, letting out a long sigh."What is it Achilles?" She did not want to be stopped from playing her little game with her wolf pup and the unhappiness in her voice was evident.'Never let a wooman answer ye with cheek. Tame 'em or they will nae ken their place' His father's voice rang in his head as he said, "Kneel."She looked at him, really looked at him. "No."Red filled his cheeks as he said, "Why nae?""Because I do not want to." The answer was so simple, and yet, Achilles could not accept it.He was now infront of her, his hands on her shoulder as he tried forcing her to kneel. "Submit, Persephone!""Stop it!" The child yelled. "Let me go!"And then, in a blur, Achilles was on the ground with something war

    When he had been younger, he had developed a strange love and hate relationship with her.Love, for the fact that she was a good mother and wife but he hated the fact that she was so-Weak.The hate had only faded that day Persephone had spoken with her and watched her, saying under her breath so only he could hear her. "She is a very strong woman.""Strong?" He remembered asking, "She never fights back no matter what they do to her.""Wars are not always physical," She replied, facing him. "Some are fought on the inside as well." Then she turned back to Aglaia, "I see her look broken apart but yet, happy. She could leave Gerasimus if she wanted, divorce is not against any law but she still stays.""Why?""Because of you," She replied ."And your little brothers, of course. Just because one of you is tainted does not mean that she would let the rest of you be as well. I admire her for that."Achilles had believed she said that because she had lost her Mother even though the woman was s

    "You are not leaving, Leonidas.""But-""No buts. I have been generous enough."Leonidas bit into his lower lip, a sudden need to slam Loukas' head on the table. It was a new train of thought, one he had never had before until Loukas began to drive him crazy and make him want to do it.But he was not that crazy yet."You see me everyday, Lou." Leonidas found himself whispering to the male.Loukas, who had his hand buried in a bowl of grapes with his rings glittering from the light coming down the glass ceiling, crossed his legs and beamed a smile at his best friend. "Would you like one? It tastes oddly like wine."Leonidas sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Because it is used to make wine.""Oh,"Then the green eyed man stood, dusting his hands. "Whatever," And began to walk around the study. "Yes, I do see you everyday but that leaves the question, amor.""What question?""About your whereabouts every night."Leonidas stilled.Loukas suddenly pointed a finger at his face. "A

    Leonidas Aetos wondered if he had ever been seasick or if it was the fact that his behind hurt like something had stabbed it, which infact had happened though he did not want to think too much about it and alert everyone to his standing staff and instead let his thoughts wander somewhere else.After the letter, which was so sudden and mind blowing, Cleon who for some odd reason, which was not really odd, helped massage an embarrassed Leonidas' wrists and thighs before he said quietly, "Do you know how to make the pain stop?"Of course, he was being in over his head to ask such to a servant but he trusted Persephone and he knew she would not send anyone to him that she as well did not trust.Cleon smiled, "I can help you soothe that place as well if you'd like."Usually, Leonidas would blush and redden as a tomato if even Persephone had asked that but the thought of taking his hand there made him nod his head in agreement.Thankfully, Cleon did not ask any extra questions and continued

    Loukas thankfully had not heard his words and was quiet, staring at his fingers till he heard Leonidas say, "You never told me about what happened between you and Hermes."Loukas stilled and the male kept on talking, "You do not have to tell me-""There was nothing wrong," Loukas cut in, perhaps more sharp than he wanted causing Leonidas to wince as he sighed and said in a gentler tone. "We just got tired of fooling ourselves."Which was not a lie."I am just worried," Leonidas said, pursing his lips. "After what happened last time-"After Leonidas had panicked about Loukas' absence and gone to Loukas' island only to find him passed out and barely still conscious.Though he thought the reason that had happened was because Hermes had left Loukas which was true in its own way but it was because that was the day Loukas found out Stylani had been betrothed to Leonidas and had lost it.But Loukas would never tell him that. "I told you I would not use it anymore after that day and I have ke

    Loukas Mikos hated everything that walked Ariithoë except Leonidas Aetos. That was why it really really pissed him that the boy was unable to leave his room. Of course, he had no problems with taking care of Leonidas because it was a beautiful and wonderful opportunity to stare and touch Leonidas' bare body, though he kept being restricted from touching his bottom, not that Loukas would have taken advantage of his weakened stage. He thought it, but he would not do it. He hoped. Loukas slowly pulled off his shirt, ignoring the way his body reacting to the air around the pool, an inside castle pool by the way, and removed his pants next then walked into it, the water warming his tensed muscles up. Looking at Panag Mikos had brought memories he had tried forgetting for so long. But looking at Leonidas had replaced those memories quickly with the ones they shared together. Loukas shaked those thoughts away as he slowly began to feel himself rise, just an inch but enough to make him

  • 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
