662

Olivia POV
In the aftermath of my brother's fight, when everything calms down and not only the citizens are silent but so is the traffic and every single thing. The only noise is Pyro's sobbing but just as I reach out to go towards him dad stops me silently and goes to him himself, silently.
Pyro POV: Age - 668
I kneel by my son's side and gently I get my hand on his back. He loosens up a little bit and cries softer than before. Seeing the crowd speaking I grab his arm and pull him up to face me.
-Come on Junior. Sit up a moment.
He let's himself be sit and I hold and check him slow and gently.
PyroJunior-He's my friend. I killed my best friend.
-Easy now. How are you? How do you feel?
PJ-I'm, overwhelmed.
-Amongst other things.
PJ-Yeah.
-Come on, let's go home and get you all new and fresh.
PJ-Walking?
-Aura.
He sighs but before he can do anything I take us home.
Pyro Junior: Age - 622
Once at home I let my aura flow out and free as it takes too much effort. It also heals me faster but still I let myself fall on the bed letting out a breath of relief at the feeling of softness of my bed.
Pyro-Better now?
-Better.
Pyro-Well, I'm taking the dagger out now.
-Ugh..........
I hold my hand up and find the dagger, mine, still deep in me and I sigh.
-I got it.
I hear his complaint but still, he let's me do it myself and so I make a position and with a single movement I push it out and I hear how it lands on the floor somewhere.
-Damn.
Pyro-Let's start getting you ready.
-Nice and clean. But later.
Pyro-Now.
I groan as he pulls me up to sit. I groan but stay seated. I take my shirt off and look at the wound. Is quite a mess of blood, right now is bleeding but not much. It already started to heal but even gods have weaknesses. We heal quickly but is still painful.
Pyro-Junior.
-Don't call me that. I hate my second name.
Pyro-Come on Junior. How else can I call you if not your name.
-My first name.
Pyro-We got the same name. Is weird calling you Pyro when my name is Pyro as well. Junior works better.
-We call you dad or father not Pyro so is fine.
Pyro-And the girls call you brother so it doesn't matter.
-Dad. Please.
He stays silent for a moment before he speaks again.
Pyro-I will try.
-Thanks.
Pyro-Now then, you killed who? Friend, boyfriend, family. Who was him to you?
-A very important person in my life and now.............
I clench my teeth and blink to avoid the tears from coming out.
-It doesn't matter now.
Pyro-Do you want to do something about him or anything? Bury him, burnt, thrown, garbage, to the sea or something?
-The backyard? If you allow me to save a spot to bury him in the backyard. I'll make sure it looks as if nothing is buried there.
Pyro-You can do what you need to. For now, get some rest. You need it.
-Sure.
With that he finishes patching me up in silence before leaving and I finally go to sleep.

When I wake up is very bright, maybe midday and as I twist to get up I hear how she speaks.
O-Finally awake.
I groan and yawn before I speak.
-Olivia. How long you been here?
O-All the time.
She kisses my cheek as she sits at my side and I move to hug her sideways.
-I love you baby sister.
O-You had a visit yesterday. Said she'll come back today after work.
-Who?
O-A girl. Not sure who she is to you but she looked worried so, she's alright.
-I'm on the backyard.
O-After you eat, shower and dress. I'll take the clothes out while you shower.
-Alright.
I sigh and getting up I go straight to the bathroom to shower.
Once naked in the bathroom I stand in front of the full length mirror and watch myself. Besides a small scar in my abdomen and very small bruises I'm physically better. I'm just "feeling" exhausted and bored. Mostly mentally exhausted and bored but maybe lazy is the best term for me since I don't feel like doing anything or even having the energy to do it.
Overall it takes me about two, maybe three, hours in the bathroom before I go back to my room. I smile when I see my clothes laying neatly on the bed. Dressing up and fixing myself takes me just a little bit and once I'm done I feel with more energy. With that I go downstairs to join my family and I'm instantly greeted with hugs and kisses from my sisters.
Victoria-Brother, finally awake. You look better.
Phoenix only ruffles my hair messy after a soft punch on the shoulder. The twins give me a kiss on each cheek. The triplets surround me in a hug and don't let me go.
Pyro-Lily, Lola, Luna, leave your brother. Let him eat.
I pat them gently before they leave but even so only Luna stays with me. I laugh and give her a tighter hug lifting her before she finally let's me go. I sit and as I do I look around.
-Where's Olivia?
Pyro-In the library with a guest.
I start eating but not even two bites and I stand to go to the library.

I get inside and call her out.
-Olivia?
O-Brother.
?-Pyro!
Both girls stand straight and I'm also stunned at the sight of her.
Kalyca POV: Age - 22
I feel myself blush and I look at Olivia briefly nudging her elbow lightly.
O-It sure took you getting here. So, this is your visit. Kalyca, she came early today and since she came to visit you I guess I should leave you.
Before any of us could complain she leaves and so we are alone.
PyroJ-So, you came yesterday?
-Just a few minutes. It was nothing really.
PJ-Can you repeat what you told me then?
-Why?
PJ-This time I'm paying attention to you and I can answer you.
I laugh at his remark and so I start telling him everything about me. Is the part I want him to hear. We speak for a while and the tense air is now relaxed and I'm happy to be alone with him.
-Are you sweet? Do you like sweets?
PJ-I don't know. Depends on others if I'm sweet but for sweets. I like to eat them once in a while.
-You're sweet. You have sweet eyes.
PJ-Yours are better. Heavenly and very beautiful.
His fingers find my cheek tempting and as I lean into him he caresses my face entirely.
-So warm but, I got to go.
PJ-Should I take you home? Make sure you get there safely.
-Is not a bad offer.
PJ-Really?
-That's why I'm accepting it.
I hold his hand and give it a few kisses.
PJ-Shall we go then?
-Let's go.
With that we leave in his car and we get there quickly. I smile and give him a kiss on the cheek before I go in my apartment to sleep at last. Maybe there's a chance between us but for now, I'm happy just being with him. That thought lulls me to sleep and dream peacefully.

Several weeks later
Pyro Junior POV
I watch myself in the mirror as I get ready to go. I sigh despite my happiness when he comes in.
Pyro-Nervous about the trip?
-Maybe. I don't want to ruin this.
Pyro-How long you've been together now?
-Not long. Just six months. She's been so good and so wonderful to me in so many ways.
Pyro-I'm sure of that. So, you got everything ready. The luggage and everything is on the car?
-Yes. The only thing missing is her and her stuff.
Pyro-How much longer will you be in that mirror? You got a plane to catch and a lady to get. Women don't like to be kept waiting.
-Shit. I should call her to tell her I'll be there shortly.
Just as I say that my phone rings and I recognize her ringtone.
-Creepy. Is her.
Dad smiles as he leaves the room and I follow to actually leave.
-Hey flower. How are you?
Kalyca-Excited for our vacations alone and wondering where you at.
-On my way to get you of course.
K-I'll be waiting.
-I know.
K-Love you.
-Love you too baby. See you in minutes.
K-Bye.
-Bye.
I hang up and start driving her way with dad and Olivia following on their separate car behind me.
Pyro POV
Seeing how he parks I park a few spaces behind with the car still running.
Olivia-Dad.
-Hmm.
O-Would you let me have a boyfriend myself?
-Maybe.
O-Dad.
-I don't know. I can't make you not have a boyfriend or have it. I rather not but is your choice. It doesn't matter if I like it or not.
O-Hmm.
-Do you want me to know someone? I can behave even if I dislike it.
O-No. Maybe soon though.
-Obviously.
O-Look, there they are.
-That was quick.
Olivia-Let's go then.
With that we finally go to the airport to see them leave. Olivia cries as she hugs her brother, unable to let go. I take her from him and so we finally go on our separate ways.

Olympus Special
Dragon's Siege
Karai POV
I arrive to my niece's favorite part of the world and my knees buckle when I land, my hands catch me from falling entirely and when I get up she kneels in front of me.
JJ-Aunt Karai. What happened to you?
-Olympus is under siege.
JJ-What? How? Who?
-Dragons.
I sigh relieved when she doesn't seem surprised by the news.
JJ-Let's get there then.
-Oh. JJ, do you mind giving me a ride? I am exhausted and I can still help.
JJ-Sure but I don't think anyone can help and I can't train everyone on how to fight dragons.
-You'll be surprised what the gods can do when full power.
JJ-Let's go then.
She gets on her dragon and I look at her confused before I grab on to the dragon.
JJ-Need a hand?
-I got it. Is just a big horse.
With that I bend my knees and with a deep breath I hoist myself up and swing my leg over to the other side. I steady myself, smiling when I see JJ smiling.
JJ-Beginner's luck. Now hold on tight.
I hold tight but as we get to the sky I hold tighter. I'm used to flying but I do it with my wings not riding a dragon so I feel weird.
JJ POV
Once on the sky I ask my aunt about everything.
-How is the situation?
Karai-They took almost everyone. Only Aphrodite, Athena, Hestia, Artemis and me got out.
-Grandpa Hades and Hera?
Karai-They took them too, along with Zeus, Ares, Poseidon, Apollo and everyone else.
-Do you think they got them locked together?
K-Maybe. Don't know if is better locked together or alone. With Zeus, Hades and Ares on the same place is not good.
-Did you happen to see how many they got?
K-Before escaping I counted 14 riders and 7 dragons. Two pairs posed as guards. Five pairs stayed on the throne room. The other seven riders rotated regularly. Four of them switch guards between guarding the riders and the gods. The other three act as messengers or clean or bring the food.
-How long did it took you to find that out?
K-Three days.
-How do the guards rotate?
K-One by one. Is always guarded.
-You said Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis and Hestia got out and away with you right?
K-Yeah. Athena can help, Artemis maybe. Aphrodite and Hestia maybe not.
-I think that you, me and Athena can fight. Aphrodite is the bait while Hestia and Artemis get everyone.
K-Oh, I forgot to tell you but your dad was there too. He got caught along with everyone.
-Of course he was there. At least now it'll be more fun fighring the riders.
K-I'll free them. I can do it but I have to be by myself to be sneaky.
-Sure. Now then, we're here. Jump us out of here.
She looks at me curious and I explain.
-Sneaky. That means no dragon so you got to carry me down there.
She nods and so we jump off my dragon and land somewhere at Olympus.
