Hades leaned back in his car as he drove through the streets of the Underworld. Minthe wasnt at the place where they were supposed to meet up for Zeus' stupid party. The Underworld's dark and depressing look matched his own mood. The sun never shined down here, which was by Hades' own request. He didnt the stupid sun gods down here in his domain. Hades slowed down, and pulled out his phone. Minthe hadn't called or texted him yet.
'Where are you?' Hades' thumb pressed on the send button. Hopefully she wasn't being a bitch and decided to respond. The small box he had in one of his pockets suddenly felt heavier. Hades turned at the intersection and sighed. She wasn't going to answer. Still, he couldn't show up to Zeus' party all alone. His younger brother always got mad whenever he missed the Panathenaea, and demanded that he show up this year since they were receiving guests from the Egyptian Pantheon. Why it was so important, Hades didn't particularly care. He tended to keep his dealings away from them, only speaking to Osirus and Anubis on a few occasions for work.
Their animal-like heads rubbed him the wrong way, especially when Anubis started drinking his beer like a dog. Shaking his head slightly, Hades pressed the call button and placed the phone by his ear.
"Hey!" Minthe silky voice said. Was that the sound of water running? Seriously! Why would she take a bath right now?
"You're late…" Hades said dryly. Of course she was going to do this. "Where are you?" He tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
"Did you get me that purse that I wanted?" The red river nymph said softly. Hades glanced at his backseat, with said purse staring back at him.
"Um, yeah. I did, but-"
"Oh great!" Hades could hear Minthe smiling as she cut him off. Great, now she was trying to avoid the question.
"You're coming to the Panathenaea with me, right?" Hades grip on his phone tightened on his phone as well. He took a slow and deep breath.
Minthe went silent for a few seconds, and then she started to hum.
"Hmmm...I don't think so." Minthe said casually with a splash of water. Water started dripping onto his car. Of course it was going to start raining now.
"What do you mean?" Hades replied, barely being able to conceal his anger. This was far from the first time she had done this, and it certainly wasn't going to be the last. Yet, Hades couldn't stop himself from being drawn to her.
"What I mean is I don't particularly feel like being seen in public with you today." Hades felt his eyes flash a dark shade of red and had to restrain himself from shouting.
"Real classy, Minthe. Come on stop messing around. I can't go to my brother's party all by myself." The tabloids were going to eat it up and he didn't want to deal with Hera's pity.
"I don't feel like being seen with you in general." Minthe sighed and she ended the call, leaving Hades alone with the silence. Letting his phone drop onto the seat next to him, he stared out the car's window blankly and leaned his head against his hand on the steering wheel.
Hades, all of the fine suits in the world won't change the fact that you smell of death.
LK LK LK LK LK LK
The party was in full roar by the time Hades arrived. Dressed in one of his finest suits with a dark shade of blue that was so dark it was basically black, he was sure that he cut an intimidating figure.
Walking up the marble stairs, Hades felt the gaze of many gods, goddesses, and nymphs stare at him in fear, disgust, or even a mixture of both. Hopefully his reputation as King of the Underworld would keep many of them away from him.
"Hey."
Most were scared to even be near Hades due to his appearance. It has been a few centuries since the last stranger that walked up to him.
"Hey."
Hades was sure that some of them were already whispering about him showing up alone. The pitiful and single older brother to Zeus and Poseidon.
"Hey!"
Hades was thrown out of his thoughts by a very familiar voice. Hera had walked up to him wearing a beautiful off-shoulder dress that helped to accentuate her many curves. A matching crown sat upon her golden head, which made her light blue eyes pop out even more. She looked gorgeous like always.
"Where's your date, Blue-boy?" Hera said with a smirk on her face and a drink in her hand, most likely one of many to come.
"Gone." Hades grumbled with a grimace on his face. It softened a few seconds later. "I need a drink…"
There was that face that Hera always made whenever she felt bad for him.
"Well I am for one am grateful!" She formed a lazy grin as she took a sip. "I don't have to spend the evening with that nymph trash." Minthe and Hera didn't exactly see eye to eye. Hades sighed as he rubbed his forehead.
"Did Poesidon bring his wife?" Amphrite wouldnt have showed up if he had another affair. For some reason, Hades' younger brothers couldn't seem to keep their juniors in their pants.
Hera's grin disappeared and her face fell. "Yes…"
"Great! So I'm the only one alone?" Hades mumbled. Hopefully Anubis wasn't the Egyptian that was coming. He was going to never shut up about it.
"Relax, no one will notice." Hera said with a reassuring smile. The party was raging around them, but there was still no sight of the Egyptian's yet. That was a good thing he supposed.
"You did." Hades said dryly. Hera flashed him a knowing grin. Rubbing the back of his neck, Hades sighed. "Do you know which Egyptian it is?"
Hera took a small sip from her glass, and poked her forehead. "Hmmm, I remember Zeus bringing it up once. I think it started with a K-"
"HERA!" Her light voice was cut off by his younger brother. With long purple hair that matched his complexion, Zeus grabbed his wife into a romantic embrace.
"Hera, I've been looking everywhere for you! You look so beautiful tonight!" Zeus said as he caressed her cheek. Hades scoffed internally. He was talking like they weren't already married and lived in the same mansion. Ahh, that's why. Hades spotted a few paparazzi out of the corner of his eye.
"Oh stop, you're embarrassing me!" Hera giggled as she was swept off her feet. They never acted like this in private, a side effect of Zeus with his many affairs.
"How 'bout we get out of here?" Zeus growled with a husky voice. Hades was tempted to tear out his own ears as he stood off to the side.
"Silly! You can't leave your own party." Hera said, playing the ever faithful wife. She must've spotted the cameras as well. Hades wished he could have been literally anywhere else but here.
They started giggling with kisses when Hades interrupted them by coughing into his fist softly.
"Hey Hades! I didn't see you there." Zeus looked at the empty space next to him. "Where's your date?"
Hera groaned and softly slapped Zeus' shoulder. "I wish you knew when to shut up."
Any further argument was cut off with the sound of excited whispers. All three of their heads turned to the entrance.
Slowly walking in, was the Egyptian entourage. Damn, Anubis was here as he took the lead of the group. His jackal head had a large grin formed on his face as he looked around the party. To his left was Thoth with the head of an ibis, who kept his gaze forward as he ignored the scantily dressed goddesses and gods that gave him several winks.
The one who stood out the most was the one on Anubis' right since Hades didn't recognize her. She was tall, easily taller than Hera, and wearing a simple white dress that was extremely modest when compared to the others around them. Still, she stood out even more by wearing a mask that was reminiscent of an insect. It seemed she was one of the more normal looking Egyptians if she was wearing a mask instead of having an animal's head. With a head full of curly hair that matched her glowing grey complexion, the Egyptian entourage walked up to them.
The crowd parted to allow them through, yet their whispers managed to be louder than the music that was being played.
"Your Majesties." Anubis bowed his head slightly with a shit eating. Hades sighed internally as they bowed in return. "My liege Osiris sends his greetings and wishes of fortune."
Zeus grinned. "Of course! Tell the old man we need to meet up one of these days." They had met when Zeus decided to join him on one of his business trips. He spent the rest of the trip making love to Hathor.
Anubis nodded with a smile and gave his female companion a nervous look. "Allow me to introduce my companions." He motioned a hand to Thoth. Hades had heard many stories about him from his business trips and had seen him from a distance.
"This is Thoth, god of wisdom, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art, judgment, and the dead. He's one of my co-workers." Thoth nodded seriously and bowed his head respectfully. Anubis motioned to the goddess next to him.
"This is Khepri, goddess of creation, the renewal of life, and of the morning sun." Khepri bowed her head slightly.
"My king Amun-Ra sends his greetings." Her voice was cold and she sounded bored.
They continued their greetings, and eventually the Egyptian's wandered off to the food bar. Hera eventually left when Poesidon arrived, leaving the three brothers alone.
"Well, they seemed nice." Poesidon said with a grin. You weren't even here when they introduced themselves!
"Don't sleep with our guest." Hades said after he took a sip of alcohol. Zeus gave him a sheepish grin and shook his head.
"Who me? I would never! She's a bit too skinny for my taste anyways." Yeah right. Zeus would poke his dick in anyone.
Hades rolled his eyes, when caught sight of a pink flowing form.
She's...beautiful.
A/N
Well, I know most of this chapter was taken directly from the first chapter, but future chapters will begin to diverge.
Fair warning, mentions of sexual assault and rape will occur. These topics will be dealt with seriously and will not be joked about.
If reception to this story is positive, I'll start updating this instead of DYFD?
Here's another warning. I will be aging Persophone to 190 instead of 19. Her naive self will be explained as her spending all of her time in the Mortal Realm.

Damn it @Krieg Schnee why do you write so good!?
So, absolutely nothing different to change in my mind.
Thank anime for the Old yet Young Trope.
Also, 19 is perfectly legal so why the age up of x10 years?
That is a very good point.
LO has been controversial for Persephone's age compared to Hades. Im snipping it in the bud here
Lies! My writing is bad
Last edited:
Really, Persephone's age is the thing that is controversial and the fact that the relationship between Hades and Persephone is uncle/niece is not controversial.
Go figure.
I looked up Lore Olympus just for this story and they're not related in it, because the author found that just as squicky as you do. The other Olympian couples get the same treatment.
Good to know. I guess I should have looked up LO before I started making my post.
However, thank you for clearing that point up.

It seemed that the Greek sure liked to party. It wasn't my sort of party, too much grinding for my taste with a few scantily dressed nymphs dancing around poles. I sighed softly as I stood next to a pillar. Amun-Ra had wished to open up trade with the Olympian's and profit off of tourism from visiting Olympians and nymphs. The purpose of this visit was to become 'friends' with them for some reason. Why? I didn't want to know and Amun-Ra didn't bother to explain why. Plus, I had a different mission that my two companions didn't know about. Followers of Apophis had been making noise behind closed doors at Mount Olympus. My job was to see if such rumors were true, without the Olympians finding out of course.
Anubis seemed to be enjoying the party since he started bobbing his head to the music. Thoth seemed uncomfortable as several male and female Olympians threw him lustful eyes. I giggled at his discomfort.
"Stop laughing." Thoth said with a sigh as he dipped his beak into his drink. I had known the two of them for a few centuries by now ever since the civil war in the Land of the Dead between Set and Osiris. Amun-Ra did not wish to choose sides since he was close to Set and Osiris, but he decided to send me as an impartial observer anyways. Thoth and Anubis both sided with Osiris and they eventually won after a century of fighting. Good thing everything in the Land of the Dead were well, dead already. Legions of undead mummies and skeletons warred until Set was exiled.
I was a bit sad to see him go. Despite his many traits, we had both served on Amun-Ra's barge, and he taught me many things about the world. Amun-Ra may have brought me into his household, but Set was the one who raised me. Set betrayed us for power, tried to murder his own brother and me in the process. He...betrayed me.
"I would never." I said smirking under my mask. Mom would have loved it here. Well, not the party but she would have loved seeing the various gods of legend. Most of them acted exactly the way I expected them to, and others were completely different. The shocking part happened to be everyone's appearances. Zeus having glowing purple skin with matching long hair was the last possibly look I ever expected him to have.
I couldn't exactly be picky considering I was glowing grey, a shade reminiscent of my time as Skitter. My current mask was simply an imitation that I had made, with various others in my hotel room at the moment. I probably should have worn the one that was similar to Weaver, but what was done was done.
I didn't remember how I got here, but I did remember most of my life as Taylor Hebert. There were patches here and there where my mind would draw up a blank page such as the events after Scion was defeated, but I was fine as I could be! Still, there was one thing that I knew for certain, Taylor Hebert was dead. Centuries of living as the goddess Khepri had killed her. Thankfully, I still had my ability to control simple minded creatures. That's how I knew Zeus was still the horny jerk the legends described him to be.
Before he approached Hera, the King of Mount Olympus was making out with someone in some random closet. Moments like these made me glad that I was reborn into the Egyptian Pantheon. Amun-Ra was a fair king who didn't rule with his dick in mind. Me being the goddess of the morning sun simply allowed me to be one of his favorites.
"Your mask does nothing to hide that you find my discomfort amusing." Thoth replied dryly. Most people seemed to be avoiding us, which was perfectly fine by me. Anubis and Thoth were well known to be gods of the dead, which seemed to have the opposite effect here than back home. Here, it seemed that gods of the dead were treated as outcast, whereas back home they were treated with the utmost respect. Death was a natural part of mortal life, and it was an important duty to judge their deeds. Well, that's what Thoth told me the last time I asked.
"You should be happy that the Norse Pantheon wasn't invited." You sleep with the god of mischief one time, and suddenly he wants a marriage? Nevermind the fact that I had a little too much to drink, let's just say that I wasn't going to be visiting Asgard anytime soon for the next few centuries.
Thoth was in the middle of taking a sip of his drink when I opened my mouth, and proceeded to start choking on it.
"I gotchu Thot!" Anubis started patting his friend on the back rather violently which was amusing to see the larger god with a jackal's head beat on the smaller one with an ibis head.
"Stop touching me you imbecile!" Thoth croaked after he swallowed what was left in his throat. Grabbing a handkerchief from one of his suit's pockets, he wiped the tip of his beak and his forehead. "And you well know that it is pronounced Thoth, not Thot." Thoth narrowed his eyes at Anubis. "Say it with me, Th-Oath. Not Thot."
Anubis raises his hands defensibly. "Whatever you say Thot." Anubis was rather childish when he wasn't around work. Granted this was technically a trip for work, but my point still stood.
Thoth sighed again and started mumbling under his breath. Anubis wandered off when he caught sight of a server with a platter of food leaving me alone with the disgruntled Thoth.
"People keep looking at us." Thoth mumbled. I didn't need to turn my head to know what he meant. It isn't everyday that deities from the Egyptian pantheon came to visit after all. Especially since these two happened to have the heads of animals.
"Hmm, mostly you. I'm just wearing a mask, while your head is well...you know." I shrugged my shoulders as I grabbed a glass of wine from a passing nymph server. She gave me a small wink and walked away with swaying hips.
I guess they thought I was a guy with how flat I was compared to other goddesses. Sadly, that seemed to be one of my features that carried over from my old form. I had barely enough to pass as a woman.
"I suppose." Thoth took another sip. These Olympians sure liked those short dresses huh. Anubis almost made me wear one declaring himself my stylist, but we compromised for one that showed off a little of my midriff instead of one that could barely cover my ass, like the one that pink lady who was with the gorgeous purple girl in black. If my memory was right, that should be Persephone and Artemis according to my briefing.
Judging by how lonely Hades looked next to his brothers, I assumed that he hadn't kidnapped her yet. This world's Olympians were quite different in some aspects. For example, the three brothers were not related to Hera, Demeter and so on. So technically their marriage wasn't one of incest. My knowledge wasn't as complete as I would have liked.
"I believe it's time that we complete our mission."
Thoth nodded slowly and placed his drink on a random server's plate. "Divide and conquer?"
"Yup. I'll take the left, and you take the right." I said cracking my knuckles.
"Just like Thebes then." Thoth politely tapped the tip of his beak and looked at the crowd to our right.
"Just like Thebes." Except with less bloodshed went unsaid.
Well, I hoped so.

Ill work on DYFD? tomorrow. Its fun writing, so I hope Ill be able to bounce between my stories until my inspiration runs out. Last time my hiatus lasted a little over a year. Hopefully if I enter one it won't be as long.
I was listening to Miroh by Stray Kids as I wrote this. If you decide to listen for some reason, you found my secret. The music I listen to dont match the scenes I write. I play sad songs when writing happy scenes, and play upbeat songs when writing sad scenes.
Here the link to Lore Olympus if anyone is interested.

"People keep looking at us." Thoth mumbled. I didn't need to turn my head to know what he meant. It isn't everyday that deities from the Egyptian pantheon came to visit after all. Especially since these two happened to have the heads of animals.
"Hmm, mostly you. I'm just wearing a mask, while your head is well...you know." I shrugged my shoulders as I grabbed a glass of wine from a passing nymph server. She gave me a small wink and walked away with swaying hips.
I guess they thought I was a guy with how flat I was compared to other goddesses. Sadly, that seemed to be one of my features that carried over from my old form. I had barely enough to pass as a woman.
"I suppose." Thoth took another sip. These Olympians sure liked those short dresses huh. Anubis almost made me wear one declaring himself my stylist, but we compromised for one that showed off a little of my midriff instead of one that could barely cover my ass, like the one that pink lady who was with the gorgeous purple girl in black. If my memory was right, that should be Persephone and Artemis according to my briefing.
Judging by how lonely Hades looked next to his brothers, I assumed that he hadn't kidnapped her yet. This world's Olympians were quite different in some aspects. For example, the three brothers were not related to Hera, Demeter and so on. So technically their marriage wasn't one of incest. My knowledge wasn't as complete as I would have liked.
"I believe it's time that we complete our mission."
Thoth nodded slowly and placed his drink on a random server's plate. "Divide and conquer?"
"Yup. I'll take the left, and you take the right." I said cracking my knuckles.
"Just like Thebes then." Thoth politely tapped the tip of his beak and looked at the crowd to our right.
"Just like Thebes." Except with less bloodshed went unsaid.
Well, I hoped so.

Ill work on DYFD? tomorrow. Its fun writing, so I hope Ill be able to bounce between my stories until my inspiration runs out. Last time my hiatus lasted a little over a year. Hopefully if I enter one it won't be as long.
I was listening to Miroh by Stray Kids as I wrote this. If you decide to listen for some reason, you found my secret. The music I listen to dont match the scenes I write. I play sad songs when writing happy scenes, and play upbeat songs when writing sad scenes.
Here the link to Lore Olympus if anyone is interested.
Lore Olympus
Alright @Krieg Schnee, you now have me as chapter by chapter reader of this story. I am looking forward to seeing where you take this story.

But you'll call me Captain or Sir

- Captain/Sir
So is this hinting at something or is this just acknowledging that Artemis is pretty(gorgeous)?
Also
Taylor and Loki?
Really??
(P.S. I haven't read Lore Olympus, is there something different besides the Olympians not being related? Like do all the Gods still represent the same things they do in myth?)
Is this Loki-variant really that clingy? Or does Norse Mythology adhere to you sleep with someone, you have marry them rule in an odd way that I was unaware of?
Because I can honestly see it going either way.
Basically they're the same with some changes to their stories. Its basically a modern retelling though.
Three
Thoth did not like parties. More specifically, he hated parties that were, well like this one. He enjoyed parties where one discussed the meaning of life, and where he could show off his inventions to like minded peers. This party was the exact. Filled with horny gods and goddesses grinding, hoping to find a lover for that night while trying to figure out ways to cover up their affairs in the morning if they were married. Thoth coughed into his elbow. Zeus was going to be on every newspaper in Olympus by the time morning came most likely. The Olympian was known to be a man-whore throughout all of the pantheons. His brother Poseidon wasn't much better, with the tabloids stating that he was in an open relationship with his wife. Every rumor was based in truth after all. Being the god of wisdom meant that Thoth was very well equipped to find out the truth if he so wished. That's why Amun-Ra and Osiris often paired him with Khepri in the past, during the events of Set's Civil War, as well as other numerous conflicts. Thoth skillfully avoided a few grinding nymphs who kept throwing him weird stares.
Isis was going to make fun of him when he finally went back home. Afterwards she would probably try to set him up with Ma'at again, which he didn't mind. She was nice, he supposed. Back to the job at hand, Thoth, Khepri and Anubis were here to make friends with the Olympians. Anubis was perfect for this mission with his big puppy eyes, while Khepri was the exact opposite. Where Anubis was friendly and always had a smile on his face, Khepri was always standoffish and intimidated their peers with her various masks. She was a good friend, once you got past her various layers of insecurity which she threw into her swarm and her confident front. It made Thoth wonder why Amun-Ra decided to send her with them.
Khepri, known throughout the Lands of the Living and the Dead as being one of the most anti-social goddesses, as well as one of the most dangerous being sent on a diplomatic mission? That didn't add up in Thoth's opinion. Khepri was here for something else, something dangerous. If he was forced to ask, Khepri would probably say that she was sent as their protection, but that would easily be a lie.
Thoth and Anubis had served with distinction during the war, and were competent enough to defend themselves against these Olympians. Centuries of peace had these Olympian's weak. None of the current generation knew what it meant to suffer like the 'Six Traitor Dynasty' as they called Hades, Hestia, Demeter, Zeus, Hera and Poseidon.
What an unflattering name to the ones that saved their lives and guaranteed them a future, ungrateful brats.
Several Nymphs and minor gods gave Thoth a few glances, mostly at his beak and went back to their dancing. Most ogled at his form which left a sour taste in his mouth. Perhaps wearing a white suit that was covered in several ankhs wasn't the best idea after all. Normally Thoth would have blamed Anubis for picking out this particular suit, but Anubis wasn't here. Technically they were in the same place, but Anubis had wandered off to Parts Unknown.
Seriously, who named the snack table Parts Unknown? Stupid Olympians with their lame jokes and puns. Everyone knew that puns were the lowest form of humor! Thoth had even written several essays detailing how to write the perfect joke.
Looking around the crowd around him, Thoth sighed. It seemed he had taken the horny side judging by the amount of making out and grinding happening around him. Thoth jumped a little when he felt someone slap his ass. Turning around, he came face to face with a grey nymph along with her fellow friend.
"Hey sexy." Grey Nymph said while looking him up and down. Was she seriously checking him out? These Olympians were more brazen than he thought, and that was saying something considering Isis wasn't exactly the most family friendly goddess around! Osiris enjoyed it though, the poor cripple. Both nymphs wore dresses that looked at home in a strip club as it barely concealed their very noticeable assets. Khepri would probably die of embarrassment if she was forced into that.
"Do you want to have some fun with us?~" Hm, this could lead to a lesson about the anatomy of nymphs. There were many types after all, such as flower nymphs, sea nymphs, river nymphs, as well as sky nymphs just to name a few. The grey one seemed to be a sea nymph, and her friend appeared to be a flower nymph. A perfect chance to observe the differences in anatomy, for science!
"Perhaps." Thoth would need to head back to his hotel room to gather a notebook for his notes. These nymphs must have been rather bold to ask him of such a deed. Still, he didn't like the looks they were giving him, like he was a bird caught in the gaze of its hunter. Taking a sip of alcohol, Thoth was about to speak again when he felt someone touch his shoulder.
"It's nice to see that you're making friends now buddy ol pal." Anubis wrapped a large arm around Thoth's shoulders. Of course the idiot would show up now in the middle of his experiment. Dressed in a matching suit, with the colors inverted, Anubis looked the exact opposite to Thoth's dashing style. Who was he kidding, they both looked like idiots. Whenever in doubt, always blame Anubis.
"Yes...friends." Thoth mumbled as he took another sip. Fine stuff this nectar! It tasted much better than the shit that the Norse called mead. Maybe he could try fixing their recipe in the future? Last time he did that, the Aztecs decided to run him out of their land, all because he wanted to see if their chocolate could turn white. It would be best to be more cautious this time around.
"Where's Khepri?" Anubis asked Thoth, the two nymphs patiently waiting off to the side as they took a few steps away from them. They must have known better than to interfere with the work of the gods.
"She took the less scenic route. I took the right while she took the left." Thoth said simply. Hopefully the nymphs didn't leave yet. Science shall not be denied!
"Oh, just like Thebes then." Anubis ate a fancy sausage that he had pulled out from his pocket. Suddenly, his face froze into one of horror.
"Thot, you do remember what happened at Thebes right?" Anubis said slowly, horror never leaving his face. What was he so worried about?
"Yeah, why?" Thoth wiped the sweat off of his forehead with a handkerchief. Was it starting to get hot in here? Maybe it was the stares the two nymphs were giving him.
"You left Khepri, the one that we both are friends with, the one that's more antisocial than even you." Hey! Thoth wasn't that bad. "You're telling me that you left the Butcher of the Desert all by herself in a building full of drama filled Olympians who would no doubt try to find themselves in bed with her?"
Thoth's eyes widened, and his expression turned into one of horror, just like Anubis.
"Shit."
A/N
Well, in the end I decided to throw myself into my writing. I wasn't expecting that many people to reply to the post about the delay of this chapter.
DYFD? was supposed to be updated on Friday, with LK on Saturday, with me publishing Bangtan Taylor on Sunday when I received the news about my Grandma. (She most likely make it past the week)
I was also planning the rewrite of Chimera, using the older version as a guide. Well, due to family issues, Chimera's rewrite and Bangtan Taylor's publishing date will be pushed back. DYFD? will be put on a temporary hiatus.
I'll be focusing on LK at the moment, and don't worry, I've come to terms about my Grandma's condition.
I cope by writing, and pouring out my emotions into my work, even if said work doesn't come out looking sad. After posting the information post, I threw myself into this chapter.
Keep an eye out for Bangtan Taylor when I'm finally done with it. Unnie Lung will be waiting~

Oh don't worry guys. Khepri knows not to cause any large-scale incidents here so it's fairly unlikely that anyone (important enough to matter at least) will be dead and/or permanently maimed by the end of the night.

Are the tabloids meant to be suggesting that Zeus & Poseidon are in an open relationship, rather than Poseidon and his wife? Because that's how this reads.
On different note, Thoth's nerdiness and pedantry are delightful.
Zeus and Hera, Poseidon and Amphitrite could be the open relationship that the Chiss from Krieg is referring to.
but you are, it is confusing as it is currently written.

Khepri: "....and that's why the building had to be set on fire and then exploded for some reason. Don't worry, the Olympians won't be able to pin anything on us, officially or unofficially."
Amun-Ra:
"Not the point Khepri. Not the point."
