Matchstick and Claymore

The Price of Power

Domenios wakes up in a jail cell made up of golden material. He gets up wobbly and notices a mirror in the cell and he looks at himself remembering his transformation and quietly admires the view

Then he remembers Aphrodite and runs to the bars "Where am I and where's my friend!" He yells 

"Shut up matchstick" Aphrodite says from 1 cell over. "Welcome to the heavenly realm"

"What do you mean the heavenly realm? Like where the gods live?" Domenios asks curiously trying to peak outside the the bars.

"Exactly what I said. I can't seem to get out either" she says.

Domenios summons Gods Wrath and starts trying to hack and slash away at the bars, but he barely puts a dent in the golden bars. "Welp I'm all out of ideas" he says un summoning his axe. Domenios lays back down in his oddly soft cell bed "How long til someone explains why we are in here?" 

"Not long. All you had to do was be patient….son" a familiar voice to Domenios says. 

Domenios gets up looking at his visitors "So we meet in person daddy dearest. What do you want" he says with disdain in his voice. Azrael his father stands on the other side of the bars "Oh why the cold shoulder sport" Azrael says casually "I'm here to bail you and your little girlfriend out" Azrael chuckles. 

"She isn't my girlfriend just a close friend" Aphrodite says mockingly

"Hey!" Domenios shouts. "Anyway I know you didn't come here on your own. You're as stupid as you are the God of magma", Domenios grumbles 

"Yes I'm your lawyer, Obidiah Leviathan Bathory, Obi for short at your service. As you guessed your father was much too dense to find you on his own, so I lead him here. I'm sorry Aphrodite, but I couldn't find your divine parent" Obidiah says charmingly 

Aphrodite stretches her wings and shrugs "Doesn't really matter to me. I'm just ready to get outta here as soon as possible. Which speaking of why are we in here anyway"

Obidiah rolls his eyes "You'll find out at your trial hearing" 

Obidiah holds out a key with an intense golden glow. "Don't worry about it" Domenios says, stretching "I think I understand the basics of how this cell holds us. Right Aphro?" 

"Yeah, just about, " Aphrodite says, putting her palm to the lock. Ice starts forming around the lock. 

Domenios summons a small white flame at his finger tip and puts it within the lock and it starts to burst with the searing flames. 

Simultaneously the locks of both their cells explode making the cell doors swing open. Obadiah's jaw drops and stares at them both as they walk out nonchalantly. 

"What are you gawking at obi?" Aphrodite winks 

"Yeah cmon lead the way to our trial man" Domenios yawns without a care in the realm

Obidiah snaps out of his dumbfounded state and nods walks with them "You two are crazy strong" he says laughing 

After an hour of Domenios goofing off taking everyone off course they finally arrive in the courtroom. Azrael leads the three giggling demigods in the room 

"YOU'RE AN HOUR LATE! MY TIME IS PRECIOUS AND YOU LOWLY WORMS HAVE WAISTED IT!" A voice BOOMS and fills the room interrupting the threes laughter.

"Please pipe down Zues. So loud for zero reason.." Azrael says taking his seat among the gods of the round table. There sits Zues, Poseidon, Hades, Athena, Hera, Demeter, and ofcourse Azrael. The table they sit at towers over everyone not sitting at it. Zues' seat sitting a little higher. Obadiah walks forward in front of the Olympian judges with Domenios and Aphrodite at his side.
