Macaria

I cannot believe this
"You are such an irresponsible, moronic... inept idiot!" Thanatos whisper shouted at Hypnos
"What else do you suggest? Should I have done nothing and let him run to Hades about you two?" He asked, carrying Moros' legs as Thanatos had him by the shoulders.

I was trailing behind them. Their incessant arguing drowning out as I overthought the entire situation
What were we to do now?
He will awake soon. And he cannot possibly tell my father
He just cannot.

"Can you both stop arguing... please?" I asked, making them both stop and look at me
"Fine" Hypnos said, dropping Moros' legs
"Hypnos!" Than said angrily
"What? We need to figure out what to do, and I tire of carrying him" he said.

Than sighed, before he heaved Moros up into his bed
Moros' room was... very unkept
Not surprising as he was the god of chaos
But the drawings, the mess... the blacked out windows... it was like he truly lived in the darkness.

It was darker in here than Thanatos' room
"Leave me to it dear brother" Thanatos commented
"What do you want me to do? I am the god of sleep, not the god of muscle" Hypnos rolled his eyes.

I wandered over to his desk, leaving the two brothers to argue as I mused over Moros' work
His drawings were very... dark
Very sad. I felt sorry for him, he did not know how to let the aggression out any other way it seems

"Princess"
"Princess?"
"Macaria" I finally zoned back in, turning to face the two as Hypnos said my name loudly
"Sorry" I said softly
"So, what do we do?" Hypnos asked
"I am not sure" I said honestly.

"He will wake up soon, we need to do something" Than spoke up
"Let us throw him in Tartarus for a while, it is not like anyone will miss him" Hypnos mumbled, crossing his arms and leaning back on the cabinet.

"Can we have reasonable ideas please?" Thanatos grumbled, before he looked to me
"I... I do not know, maybe we can just try and tell him he hit his head or something" I said
"And the romantic fondle he found you two in?" Hypnos asked
"I..." I didn't know what to do.

He was going to remember
He was going to tell my father and I would be ripped away from Thanatos.

"Lethe" Than said after a moment
Hypnos looked up from the ground, a grin breaking out onto his face
"Lethe, why did we not think of that before!" He exclaimed cheerfully
"We cannot dip him in the river" I said shocked.

"We do not have to, he could drink some?" Hypnos suggested
"We cannot drug a fellow god" I said mortified
The river Lethe was risky. You had to make sure you gave the person the right amount, or they could forget a lot more than you planned them to.
