"It's different. There must be more out there than we thought."
"Is this a Deviant, sir?" Karun asked and Kingo and I nodded. "It's a beautiful creature."
"It's beautiful until it tried to bite your head off and you see a Vena clinging to its tail for dear life drenched in Deviant blood." Kingo scoffed.
"It's also the main reason Druig fell in love with me." I pointed out. "But I did look good doing it. My ass looks fantastic in that suit!"
"Keep telling yourself that, Vena!" Ikaris called out.
"Keep pressing my buttons and it's fire to the ass... again." I smirked holding a ball of fire and watched him scurry away. "I win again."
"You are about to meet 2 of the greatest warriors, the world has ever known. Parents of Vena, Druig and Makkari! Thena, legendary, deadly, fashionable. And her trustee friend... Might powerhouse of strength. The fearsome Gilgasmesh!" Kingo exclaimed but the door remained closed. "Gilgamesh!"
"Dad! Open up! It's Aphrodite!" I yelled banging on the door and he finally opened. "Nice apron. Makkari sent it?"
"What took you so long?" He asked and pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm glad to see you're okay, little one. Heard from Ares?"
"He's fine. School collapsed but that's pretty much it." I whispered and he nodded pulling away.
"And Karri?"
"Trying to locate her as we speak."
"Sprite, you're looking younger. And Vena... nice heels."

"Thanks! You washed our clothes, right?" I asked and he nodded.
"Same place as always. Why?"
"I need my boots. There's no way I'm going to the Amazons with five inch heels! That's just crazy. I'll be tripping over vines and branches every five seconds!"
"I have that same apron!" Karun exclaimed.
"Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Karun, Kingo's valet."
"Valet? Like Alfred in Batman!" Gilgamesh smiled and held a spoon to my face. "Taste. I'm making your favorite."
"More paprika and basil, less whatever the hell you put in there." I said growing some basil leaves in the palm of my hand and handed it to him.
"Gilgamesh, the Deviants are back." Ikaris butted.
"No shit. I could've used some help." He scoffed.
"We were attacked by a Deviant in London too." Sprite said.
