Ch. 38: Infiltrating The War God's Mansion
Now what was this? I looked down at Talos wondering what she was doing here at this ti of the night? Could it be...
"Detective you know it's against the law to break into soone else's house. I thought you would know better." And here I was thinking I was in a Greek myth and now a cri tv show. Talos cut eye contact with for the first ti and said nothing.
THE CHARACTER "TALOS" IS ASHAD OF HER ACTIONS.
THE CHARACTER "TALOS" IS WISHING YOU ILL.
Now no need to be so negative, and here I was thinking she was so a-ga boss. I turned away from her and approached the huge steel gate that seperate the mansion from the outside, it was huge but not as big as mine though. Infiltrating the ho of the war god Ares felt quite thrilling, I just hope he has answers to so questions I'm seeking.
"I take it you know him?" Talos said as she approached from behind.
"Do you an Mr Anonymous? He sort of said I would find the killer here, funny enough it turned out to be Ares." I stopped before the gate and tilted my head slightly, I caught wind of her standing next to . Her silver eyes pierced mine with a strong intensity and clear defiance of my authority, it struck as fearless. I could not be bothered to care what was going through her head at the mont.
"Want a lift across?"— I can fly now.
Talos looked away and gripped the cold tal bars of the gate, "You are still my pri suspect in this case and you pretty much should now be trespassing on the lands of another suspect, makes you look more suspicious than you already are."
I raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, "Oh really? In my dictionary I pretty much know we are of the sa boat here. Don't try to play the cop card when you are just as guilty, now stop being a cunt and let do bloody what we ca here to do!" The sooner I get back to the main plot, the better.
THE CHARACTER "TALOS" IS GLARING AT YOU INTERNALLY.
I don't know if it's possible to glare at soone internally but that was new. I don't know why she was playing hard to get, it's not like I'm trying to hit on her or anything like that but I clearly can't leave her outside on her own since she would still co in eventually. Best to keep an eye on her.
I watched Talos reach for the bars of the gate and start to climb it and I say I have never seen a more sorry display of depression. Her body was uncoordinated as if she had just co out of a hundred year seclusion, it was very pitiful and she was wearing a black shirt and dark jeans, I could see the sides of her waist and body shape and it was a killer!
No! I slapped myself back to reality— stop getting distracted by this crazy detective lady's misleading features and focus on your goal.
I kicked off the ground and sprouted out my wings, man it felt good to fly again. I soared high above the gate and scooped up Talos from under and hovered over the gate. There was a rush of wind that blew my hair abouty face, so I had to wait a bit for things to settle.
I could not ignore the crystal eyes of Talos driving into my brain, she was glaring at very intensely. Her face glowed in the moon light beautifully and the way I held her up in my arms, was she angry because of that? Might I say she looked cute and small in my arms. "Drop this instant, I said I would climb up myself and that is what I am going to do, arrgh!"
Now that was a little over exaggerated.
THE CHARACTER "TALOS" IS EMBARASSED.
"I have had it with your ranting you, if you want off then I will be a kind gentle man and oblige." And I let my hands slide from under her -- leaving her to fall from that height. I doubted she could survive the fall, this way I would be getting rid of one problem. Her face dissolved as her eyes started to form tears and she shrieked, "AAAAAAAHHH--"
Darn it, she had to cause a ruckus even now. I darted through the air and scooped her up, she wrapped her arms and legs around so tight I could feel her breast press hard against my chest. "Please don't drop , sorry." I could feel her warm breath on my neck and her sobbing, I guess I too would have been afraid if I was dropped from this height. "I'm scared of heights."
No— you are scared of dying. There's a difference. "Talos, that's too tight."
She did not let go no matter what I did, guess I did a number on her. I flew over to the main entrance of the house and set her down there, she still clutched to for a mont before standing on her trembling legs.
"Cute, thought you were so badass." I remarked with a smile.
Talos glared at and hissed. "Oh will you shut up? I almost died!"
I chuckled lightly and walked right past her, "You are cute when you're not always stuck up, makes you less hateable." I reached for the door handle when Talos stopped with her hand on mine, it felt small. "Want to stop now?"
THE CHARACTER "TALOS" LIKEABILITY HAS INCREASED BY 200.

Talk about rejection.
"HADES--" She reached for the door with a gloved hand and unlocled it. "We can't have any one of us leaving a fingerprint behind. We have to proceed with caution from her on out."
Why the hell am I supposed to care about all that detective s**t, I'm here to find a murderer. I walked in after her and into the mansion, the inside was just as spacious as the I expected. On the walls were paintings of war and butchered people, weapons of war too. As expected from a war obsessed psychopath.
"The ho of Ares, seems awfully neat. And from the records Ares never had a butler or house help and he does not quite strike as the clean type. It's either he has soone else living here or he's been taking lessons at cleanliness." Why is it always conspiracies with her? Was this why Mr Anonymous wanted her to co along? She sees things a different way from anyone else.
It makes wonder why characters like this never made an appearance in the original myths-- I keep forgetting that this world is not the sa as the Greek myths but its rather another version of it.
The gods were always seen as old and wise but in this world they looked much younger and inexperienced. Olympus was never futuristic in the legends as it was now and characters like Talos never mattered because there was never a reason for them to appear in the first place. I have this gut feeling that sothing is off here, the stability of this world has been offset sohow.
There is no way the gods of Olympus would care about inventions to beco this evolved, they had powers like magic that made mortals worship them. There was no need for the Bai Corps because there was never any law but this world was repurposed to model my own world. I have been thinking lately and co to the conclusion that— I was not the first to be REBORN!!
The coincidences are much many to be dismissed by , soone or others might have been reborn years before , maybe even as far back as-- TITANOMACHY. That would make even mose sense why nothing made sense, whoever they are-- I seem to understand why they would do such a thing as change the future of Olympus.
It's the sa reason I can go on everyday -- no one wants to live a boring outdated story all over again.
If I was not the first then I would have to find the others that had been reborn.
—BAM—
I raised my head and looked down the hall to where we were walking where a small vase lay broken down on the floor, Talos signalled for to co over and I understood what she ant. Soone else was there in the house with us but who could it be?
An intruder, Ares' partner in cri or soone else sent by Mr Anonymous? Talos chose to exercise caution and sneak up on the person but I chose the rather quick and more confrontation approach and closed the gap between us and the intruder in large strides. I reached the room where the noise had co from and stood face to face with— A MASKED FELLOW!
