Shai is taken by Hermes to start the invasion as they leave Judy, Claire, and Eurus, they maake it to the portal to the other greek gods and the figuers,
"Wont be another time, Hermes?"
Shai uttered, walking closer to him, trying to understand what he meant. It won't be another time. It's the guy from before, wasn't it? The one the weapon knew about, Haildo? Shai looked at Hermes worried as she asked,
"She was told of the invasion earlier?"
Hermes looked at her confused as he put a hand on her shoulder, leaning in,
"How do you know that, Shai.. do i know you shouldn't have known?"
"When Eurus was comforting me on the invasion.. telling me what he's worried about a figure appeared behind him. He told us that Apate is not to be underestimated,"
"Was it an old guy with long hair? He thinks he's the shit?"
"Yeah,"
Hermes leans back as he mutters Haildo, he hummed, rubbing his chin as he nods,
"He came here before i did?"
"Yes, he did, but that's not the only thing. The weapon has been odd. The figure inside has been showing itself in a way that isn't happy about Haildo,"
Hermes looked at her confused when he remembered the other figure talking about him. How he hid behind a face facade just for him to confront Shai in a frantic worry. Hidden behind a mask of malice and anger. Hermes let out a chuckle as he says,
"That sounds like the bastard, so the woman reacted not to well because of him? a figure outside of its cage... like the invisible man?"
He chuckled as he stared at the weapon in Shais hand, he smirks as he said,
"Well, the other figure is right then. I'll be damned he is in there,"
Hermes muttered as he poked the weapon when it zapped him. He flinched back with a chuckle as he rubbed his hand,
"The wepoan doesn't like being touched by anyone but you, Shai?"
"Yep.. but it's odd. He's let Claire scan it to make a prototype,"
Shai said as she hummed Hermes looked away from the gun as she glanced at Judy, seeing her glare at him. He smiled at with bashful and full of mischief as he then said to Shai
"If he went here to try to get under your skin, Shai, then we are on desperate times, we need to get you to Olympus to start the invasion,"
Shai eyes widen but not at the invasion, "That was Olympus,"
Hermes blinked chocked as he couldnt help but laugh..didnt Zeus tell her it was Olympus when she came there the first time, he held his stomach as he bends down a dit laughing as Judy looked at Shai solemn as she utters with utter disbelief,
"That's what you're cought on?" Judy asked
Shai peered at Judy from behind her, with a faint sheepish smile,
"I didn't notice before... maybe Zuse told me maybe he didn't,"
Shai srugged as Judy sighed rubbing the bridge of her nose as Hermes tried not to topel over from laughing he held onto Shais arm when Eurus and Claire came into the room, Eurus glared at Hermes as he pulled Shai away from him, his arms wrapped around Shai as he pulls her into his chest, Eurus glared at the man as he asked Shai,
"Why is he here, and why did i hear him say the invasion is early?"
Eurus held her close, looking down at her as Hermes stood up, staring at Eurus. Man Shai couldn't keep Eurus off of her, Hermes thought he walked over to them with a sheepish grin and said.
"I mean to say is that i and Shai need to get going to Olympus to get into the middle of the road, to say its a hard task would be down playing it,"
Hermes stopped in front of Shai as he stared at Eurus, who glared at him before looking down at Shai,
"Shai, do you have to go now? We dont even know if you are ready for that yet?"
Eurus spoke his eyes fill with worry as he held her tighter as Judy and Claire watched on as they glanced at each other, Claire smiled at Judy as she saw her mistress smirk at her nephews actions, she moved to Eurus her hand touched his shoulder as she said with a teasing tone,
"Eurus, you maybe just overreacting a bit...or there's maybe something there more to it than you being a protective friend,"
Eurus grip on Shai as he looked at Judy flustered. He moved to let go of Shai glaring at his aunte as he said,
"Auntie, that's not what im doing... I'm worried for her shes faceing someone who held the world captive,"
"I didn't know that part Eurus, but Shai knew we had her back. If we can't go, then we can't go with her,"
"You can't come,"
Hermes broke through the conversation as his gaze is dark full of stern regal, the underlining of his voice sent shivers over the room, Eurus gentely let go of Shai letting her move closer to hermes but she didnt she looked at Eurus as she wrapper her pinky around his, with a soft barly notice able smile, Eurus looked into her brown eyes drawn to them,
"Eurus, i will come back. dont worry about it.. but there will be more gods after words,"
Shai said as she went to Hermes as he nodded, letting out a sigh,
"Yeah, and there not going to be happy with how long they've been stuck in that prison,"
Hermes said as he glanced at the three. His eyes dimmed as he said to Claire Judy and Eurus,
"This is something none of us have done before, the moment the universe was made the figures have been there watching over the worlds looking for powerful polpe to hold there power tight, never letting go and when they saw us gods flying, walking and swimming, around that was the moment of our entrapment, they caught the site of our power...our control and took us for negotiating, they talked to each leader taking there time leaving the gods...us to lay down our defences,"
"That's when they took them all the gods except me, Athena Ares Artemis and Zeus, we waited for years for this moment and i have to say i wouldn't have thought it will happen," Hermes stopped as he peered at Shai
"I will protect her during the invasion, but lover boy, you have to trust me," He told Eurus
Eurus listened, taking everything Hermes told them. He heard the years of pain and tears from his voice, the achs of his anger, the sound of agony in shame. Eurus eyes soften...he knew pain from his parents to his uncle. But Hermes had it in a way he couldn't imagine.
"You better protect her, Hermes...if not, i will find a way to find you,"
Eurus said his eyes shone with newfound...emotion. He felt it before, but not this bad. he glares at the deity, Hermes smirked as he told Eurus,
"Dont worry, your white hair about it, little man, i have her back just like you have hers,"
Hermes saw the fervent protection Eurus had for Shai, and he could tell why Shai was something unusual and strange. He and the other gods liked that about her. Judy walked to Shai, her hand lid on her arm, Judy saw the certainty Shai held in her eyes, her stance and her tone, and she had to.
"Shai i…i wish you the best from this...i know you by now you dont want to leave them like this Shai, that is why you're helping them."
Shai smiled as she nods taking her hand and spoke softly to Judy, that tone she hasn't heard since the day she woke up here, that calming tone that can set anyone to rest by the sound of it, Shai held Judy's shoulder with a light grip,
"You're right, Judy. i won't leave them like this. Not when they ask for my help. When i already set it in my mind that i could help them, Judy watched over Eurus... Make sure he doesn't get any more gray hairs, and his white hair can only hide so much,"
Eurus glared at her as Judy laughed, holding onto Shai for support. While nodding her head, Eurus scoffed, fake not full of spite. He glared at Shai his blue eyes scan over her face looking for a sign of hesitation, but he found nothing of the sorts, pure will is etched on her face with the glimmer in her eyes that he found adoring. Hermes glanced at Eurus, letting out a humorous scoff as he moved closer to Shai,
"Shai, we must leave, but i dont think lover boy will let you," Hermes muttered
Shai peered at Hermes with a stiff nod she looked at Eurus, meeting his glare. She smirked at him and said
"Dont worry, Eurus, i will be back before you know it... just keep your gaze on the prize and never let up. You will find me back here in you, waiting arms,"
Shai said with a faint tease she grabbed onto Hermes arm, Eurus glare worsen as he hears Shais teasing words a faint pink blush laid on his face, he held his hand to his side when he moved his hand to his face letting out a flustered sigh, Shai chuckled as she nudged Hermes,
"See, that is how i get him that flustered,"
Shai said as Claire giggled at the sense as Eurus looked at Shai with a glare, not harsh but annoyed, he has his arms folded as he watched Hermes whisper to her,
"Ok, make the portal. I'm too tired from flying here,"
Shai peered at him nodding as she moved around them the weapon facing the wall, the weapon shook glowing lightly as it shot at the hallway wall making the portal apper showing faint olympous in the portal, Shai looked at them with a smile as Hermes walked to the portal,
"I will be back. Just dont be shocked when there might be more than me walking through the portal,"
Shai told them, following Hermes through the portal, her hand having two fingers out as the portal closed behind her
