Can't Anything Go Right

Persues was surprised by his confidence in the throne room. He had no idea where it came from but, was happy about it. He seemed to be able to cheer the gods up even though he doesn't know if they can win.

This war was going to be a bloody war and he wasn't happy that he had to kill his sister. Of course if he didn't then she would kill everybody he loves.

He was pulled from his thoughts when he realized that he had ended up in front of Artemis palace. He knocked on the door and waited a couple of minutes before the door opened revealing Artemis in silver tank top and black skinny jeans with black combat boots. "Hey" he said a little nervously. "Hi so where are we going". Persues smirked and held out his hand. She still wasn't sure on whether or not to take it but, decided she would. When she grabbed his hand they vanished and reappeared in a city with big houses with women at the markets and their children playing around in the streets.

The men were probably in the barracks getting some rest or in the arena training. "Welcome to Sparta sweetie" said drunk man as he put a hand on her back going down and went to grab her with his other hand. Persues punched the man breaking his nose. "Hey what was that for". "For grabbing an Olympian godess you fool" Persues growled. The man looked at Artemis with wide eyes before she turned him into a jackelope that started prancing around the city trying to eat people's food out of there baskets.

"Well that was an interesting event wasn't it" Persues said with a small laugh. "Artemis glared at him for a minute and then punched him in the shoulder. "That wasn't funny". "Okay I'm sorry that wasn't funny I shouldn't have done that". She looked at him for a minute then shrugged from not being able to detect any lies in his words. He gave her a lopsided grin before putting his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer as they walked through the streets of Sparta.

"So what would the Godess of the moon want to do" Persues asked? She seemed to be thinking for a minute before her eyes widened and an evil smirk formed on her lips.

TIME LAPSE

"Artemis this is a terrible idea" Persues complained. "Your only saying that because your afraid of me kicking your tail in front of the city of Sparta". "Your about to find out who is going to lose Artemis and then maybe I might not rub it in your face a little depending on my mood".

She glared at him which he returned before smirking. "What are you laughing at". He just smirked at her and pulled out two pitch black hunting knives twirling them in his hand.

"So are we going to get this fight on or you just gonna keep glaring at me". The words barely left his mouth before she charged with two silver hunting knives out slashing furiously. Artemis swung over extending her arm on a jab to his midsection. Persues side stepped slamming the hilt of his blade on her wrist making her drop the hunting knife. "Come on Artemis you have to be better than that". He immediately regretted his words as she threw her last knife at him. He was forced to duck giving her time to pick up her other knife and kick him in the chest sending him a cross the arena. She threw her last knife at him only to have him disappear in a shadow and come out behind her where he put her in a headlock before she knew what was happening.

"Yield Artemis" Persues asked with a smile? "I yield" she grumbled. The crowd in the stands erupted into cheers at seeing one of the most powerful godesses be beaten by someone else they had never even heard of.

When the crowd died down there excitement Persues started speaking. "I know you have no idea who I am but, I will tell you before you start to think that Artemis has grown weak". "For I am Persues Primordial of battle, heroes, darkness, and hunt". The crowd was in shocked silence until someone started clapping.

"Great show brother that was very great". "Pontus" Persues growled. "What do you want". "What can a guy not come and visit his brother". "I know that's not why your here so what do you want". "Fine grumpy". "So I am here to tell you that if you don't join us we will be forced to make your girlfriend here fade" Pontus said with an evil smirk. Artemis paled at his words while Persues pulled out Xiphos and levelled it at his brothers throat. "You will die before you lay a finger on her you piece of Shit". "Now, now Persues no need for that bad mouth of yours". Persues dug the blade deeper against his throat making Pontus back into a wall. "Don't test me you fool" Persues growled. "Well then if you won't listen to reason then I will do something much worse".

"Well what will it be Persues" Pontus said loosing his patients. Persues looked thoughtful for a minute before he smirked and threw a knife hitting Pontus in the shoulder where he let loose an agonizing scream. "Come on Pontus how does that even hurt you little baby" Persues taunted.

Pontus growled and pulled out a spear made of water. "You will fade for that you arrogant boy". Persues gripped Xiphos tighter and backed away a couple feet twirling it in his hand. "Come now Pontus I think me kicking you out of here is in order right about now don't you think Artemis" Persues said smirking.

Artemis nodded with a small smile on her face from being protected by her boyfriend. Pontus was the first to charge with his spear raised high above his head ready to slice Persues in half. When he brought down his spear he hit the ground making a small crater from the power behind the strike. Before he could turn around The black blade of Xiphos sprouted from his chest making him fall onto his knees. He could feel his life force being drained by the powerful weapon. Persues pulled the blade out of his brothers chest and went to cut his head off when another spear made of water blocked his strike. Persues looked up and found Thalassa glaring at him through narrowed eyes.

"Ah so my sister comes to defend her weak husband I see". If looks could kill Persues would be dead already. "You will pay for that brother" she snarled. Artemis couldn't believe what she was seeing. Two Primordials against one and yet Persues was fighting them with ease. Pontus made a wild slash at his head while Thalassa swung her spear trying to knock Persues off his feet.

Persues did the unbelievable. He jumped in the air and made his body go flat where Thalassa spear went under him at the same time Pontus spear swung over his head missing him by only three inches.

He landed on the ground where he kicked Pontus in the chest sending him flying across the arena. Persues turned just in time to block a powerful strike from Thalassa. They locked blades for a minute before Thalassa had her legs kicked out from under. Persues went to stab her in the throat but, she vanished before he could. He looked up where he had kicked Pontus to only to see that his brother was gone as well.

Persues turned to see a wide eyed godess of the hunt. "Um is there something on my face". Artemis chuckled at him before turning more serious again. "We need to warn the council of this" Artemis said. Persues nodded and grabbed her hand where they vanished in a flash of black light.
