So we had a week of nothing but hunting while we mulled over the drug issue and at some point while I was out alone, Tigre came to talk to me. He wanted to know what girls find attractive about boys...but he put in in terms like animals. I chuckled inside cause it makes sense in his mind for things to work like that...humans aren't that far removed from animals after all. I told him each girl was different and it was more than one thing. For instance I like intelligence, wisdom, and levelheadedness while Meg seems to like em silly, athletic, and cute. Apparently though he had thought of asking Meg out but decided against it, especially when she and Jack seemed to be getting close...and he knew Harry and I were together. I couldn't even lie to him about because he could smell our scents on each other.
The conversation turned to pantheon views and he told me about why his does sacrifices. He stated it like fact and insisted it was not belief based just how things were. I told him I tended to view things as all the pantheons are right. What each does to keep the world going IS needed, but it was up to us Scions to do what is needed not the mortals at large. It is his duty to perform sacrifices but that does not make it mine to do so for I am Greek. He told me of a vision his father showed him of how his civilization rose without human blood but at that same time the rest of ours fell. So they went back to using humans again. I told him that I felt all of our civilizations fell because Fate felt we got too arrogant and needed to be brought to our knees and humbled, because all of them fell to Christianity or Islam, including the Aztecs.
A day after that Harry and I spent some time alone at the hot spring...it was nice and relaxing, and it was nice to be able to focus on making him happy. We both agreed a hot tub is a must for back home...but I was just enjoying the time with him....
...sorry drifted off into dreamland again. Anyway a few days later I was diving off Arion with Harry watching when Meg woke up screaming. Turns out Jack and Andy were missing. She rang his phone and I got it out of his tent to find Athena calling him too. I hung up Meg's call and answered my aunt. Athena had training to start with Jack. Of course when Meg heard Athena's name she got all jealous and such...I really need to talk to her about that before she drives Jack off.
We followed a trail of black ooze to a camp where we saw some giants and men milling about and a mass grave of corpses. Meg freaked out and I quickly took her from the situation. We had surprise on our side and I refused to let her ruin it! Once she was calm I set up with Tig and Harry and we fired in harmony at one of the giants. We finished off one, and lept onto Arion sweeping a group of thralls before they finished off the last giant. Suddenly from the pile of bodies someone lept out covered in shit, gore, and blood screaming "REVENGE OF THE GOLGATHAN!!!" ...yeah that had to be Jack. The lizard man dove into the earth fleeing so I circled looking for signs of him and when he popped out I went after him and took him out. I brought his corpse back for Tigre. I told Jack when he was clean to come find me and that Athena had called him.
When we got back to camp I couldn't sit still and paced on the beach before an urge hit me. I walked out into the ocean and stretched my hand out and a volleyball sized ball of water floated up to my hand. Wow is all I can say!
