*CLANK* *CLANK*
It was morning, usually Alfonso would still be sleeping, however, this morning sothing woke him up earlier than usual, too early in fact.
"The fucking sun has not yet rise!" Cursed Alfonso.
At his side, another figure woke up, it was no other than Deter, who had sleep by Alfonso's side the entire night. However, Alfonso was so furious that he didn't notice this goddess sleeping by his side, not only that, he didnt even notice that Dereter had walked by his side this entire ti grabbing his hand. He really hated when people woke him up after all.
Curiously enough, They weren't the only ones who woke up earlier, every single mber of the manor woke up earlier than usual.
*CLANK* *CLANK*
"So…. I think that the troubleso habits of Hephaestus are…." Said Alfonso.
"Yeah"
*CLANK* *CLANK*
"As you guessed"
*CLANK* *CLANK*
"He likes his job a little bit too much"
"THIS IS WHY I DIDN't LIKE TO SLEEP ON THE OLYMPUS~, I WANNA SLEEP!!!" Shout Deter
The causes of all these strange things began yesterday.
......................................
Yesterday, Hephaestus was quite satisfied with his new workshop, so he insisted that he wanted to start as soon as possible. However, he had several demands.
"I need my equipnt; do you have it?" Asked Hephaestus.
Alfonso thought for a sec before going to the system, indeed, there was sothing like that there.
[Blacksmith's set
Price : 3000 Drachmas
Includes :
- Forge
- Anvil
- Mold
- Pincers
- Hamr
Remark : All of these tools were selected by Hephaestus although they are nothing especial, it's still sothing he put so effort in selecting ]
When Alfonso read the price he almost spit blood.
"3000 Drachmas! Why don't just rob !" Thought Alfonso.
He finally had so funds, and he had to spend more than half of it in less than a day.
At the end, with pain in his heart, Alfonso bought the set, of course, he could send so people to buy a normal set of instrunt, however, he felt that it was disrespectful towards Hephaestus, he wanted to make a connection with this god that could beco the key for his future plans, so he decided to take this as a small invest.
"Here you go"
Hephaestus examined the set of tools before given a satisfied nod.
"I rember this set, I gave it to one of my apprentices, thanks mortal, I will surely give you sothing in return…. Do you mind giving that cane of yours?" Said Hephaestus,
Alfonso was surprised, he looked at the cane of his. He already that this cane was a part of him, even if he could walk normally. He would still use this cane, so he was a little reluctant, also there was that other post-effect.
"The pain will be unbearable" Thought Alfonso.
We can't forget that the cane is working as morphine for Alfonso, once put down the cane, the pain will co. A curious fact was that Alfonso usually sleep with the cane by his side, he couldn't tolerate the pain after all.
"Don't worry, I just want to repair it, of course, I can't bring it nearly as close as it used to be , however, I can repair the small cracks that it has" Said Hephaestus.
Alfonso knew that the cane has so damage, it was obvious, the bite of Cerberus wasn't sothing light after all.
Alfonso reluctantly give his cane and Hephaestus went back to his workshop.
"Eh?" Deter felt sothing that made him look at Alfonso in a special way.
After that they went on his way to the manor, Alfonso was supported by Artemis, Deter was just quietly looking at Alfonso, to be more precise, Alfonso's gestures.
Alfonso thought that he could rely make it to the manor, so he didn't need to walk anymore.
Alfonso, however, had underestimated the post effects of his injury.
"AHHHHH!!"
On their way, the pain beco more and more unbearable, it was so painful that he felt that he was going insane.
"I cant, I cant, I need my cane, I need my cane…." Shout Alfonso.
Artemis, who was supporting Alfonso was shocked, she didn't think that the injury was this serious.
"Deter!"
"Little Al! calm down!" Deter run over and lifted the agonizing Alfonso.
"My cane, give my cane!"
A special kind of green aura appear in the body of Deter, after the aura appear, the face of Alfonso changed for a most relaxed one, after that he lose consciousness.
"Deter, he is..!"
"Don't worry, he is just sleeping" Said Deter.
Artemis made a relieved sigh before grabbing the sleeping Alfonso, however, Deter was still holding his hand.
"For now, I need to stay by his side, if he wakes up, he will suffer the post effect of his injury once again" Said Deter.
"I don't understand, even if his injury is serious this is….." Said Artemis.
"I have a theory….but if is true then the consequences are severe" Said Deter in a serious tone.
"What do you an…"
"The cane of Chronos, when I first notice it, I only thought that it was a re artifact that soone made for him, however…. I have notice sothing… Little Al never let that cane go… never" Said Deter.
"That's because of his injury!"
"A re injury isn't so powerful to make soone go insane!" Declared Deter.
"What are you talking about?"
"When Alfonso gave the cane to Hephaestus, a little bit of my power when to Alfonso, usually, this power never activates, at least….."
"At least what" Asked Artemis.
"At least soone is ntally ill!" Said Deter
Artemis was shocked with this statent and looked back at Alfonso. Deter was actually talking about her passive ability that power up when she evolved to the hero level, Light of life!
"ntally ill, what are you saying!"
"I know is sounds completely insane, but I didn't make a mistake, when Alfonso dropped the cane, his ntal state beca rare, is like the pain he actually feels multiply in his mind, causing his body to react like this, is like sothing is telling him that his injury is worse than what it actually is." Explained Deter.
Artemis was stunned. Who would have thought that a simple cane could cause this!
"What do we do now?"
"For now don't ntion it, it just a hypothesis anyway, however, we must be careful with that can... nothing good cos from that old fart!" Said Deter with an unusual angered expression.
After that the two of them agreed that Alfonso should sleep with Deter.
