Olympus Crazy Book One: The Warrior and the Flower ((ANDER))

Chapter Two: "Lunch"

"So, she died?" Andy bit into his chicken.

"Yeah, I think it was because Hera's a jealous bitch..." Ambrosía shrugged, picking at her burger.

"Queen of the Heavens doesn't like her husband being a pimp daddy mack," Cris muttered, shoving his steak into his mouth.

"Okay, now tell me about the Warrior and the Flower," Andy told Amber.

"Um... Why?" she ate a French Fry.

"Well, the woman in that story has the almost same name as you, so I'm curious," Andy took another bite of chicken.

"People get named after stories and shit all the time," Amber reminded him.

"Besides, she doesn't have to tell you anything," Cris added.

"Cris, be nice" Ambrosía elbowed him.

"He's being annoying," Cris rubbed his ribcage.

"Oh right, we never exchanged names! I'm Andrew Biersack, but my friends call me Andy!" Andy reached across the table and kissed Amber's hand while he shook Cris's hand.

"I'm Ambrosía, but my friends call me Amber because nobody knows how to say it."

"I'm Acrisios King, but my friends call me Cris..." Cris glared.

"Cris and Amber?" Andy said.

"You're not our friend," Cris glared again.

"I said be nice," Amber elbowed Cris once more.

"So, Amber, please tell me? I'm curious..." Andy rested his chin on his palm.

"Well, after Athena and Nyx brought Ambrosia to life, Apollo blessed her and Artemis taught the girl how to swim. Then Wisdom and Nyght took her to a market in a human village. The material that had been used to make her was a mere flower, such as the ones Athena and Nyx braided into her hair. A warrior happened to see this flower, and he fell in love with Ambrosia. Now, this certain warrior had been cursed by Aphrodite because he inadvertently killed her son in battle. He would fall in love, only to be killed by the affection he'd form. Are you confused?" Amber bit her lip.

"I don't think so... Keep talking..." Andy whispered.

"Well, after the warrior saw the flower as a human woman, he knew she was special. The warrior inquired which one to be Aphrodite, which was basically a pick-up line, and ran his fingers through Ambrosia's hair. He offered himself to her immediately and she accepted. She'd been instructed by the goddesses not to tell the warrior that she herself was a flower. The two grew very close in a short period of time and Ambrosia felt like she needed to tell the warrior the truth about herself, which he already knew. Of course, she didn't know he knew... Well, Ambrosia asked her moms. Nyx said yes, Athena said no," Amber explained.

"What happened next?" Andy seemed hypnotized.

"Athena went to Zeus, saying her had had a lapse of judgement and had created a mortal with the mystic powers of the Olympians. During this time, Ambrosia was with Nyx and they were discussing her future with the warrior. Now, the warrior felt his love was in danger, so he went looking for her. Nemesis found him and tried to seduce him, for reasons I don't know. The warrior rejected her and she got pissy about it. She told him she could've saved him and disappeared. Then Zeus had Hades locate Ambrosia, and Hades found her exactly when her warrior did. Nyx had gone back to her realm to find a suitable present for the lovers. The warrior died at the hands of Death to protect her, but she ended up running her love's discarded sword through her throat. Apparently Athena had a second change of heart and called upon Hecate as well as Hades. They devised a plan to the two to meet again," Amber told Andy.

"Meet again?" Andy asked.

"Hades told Hera, who was very angry at her husband's decision, that the warrior and his flower would be reborn when the Earth needed purified," Amber looked down at her half-eaten burger.

"What was the warrior's name?" Andy asked.

The warrior's name? Should I tell him? I mean, it's odd... But that doesn't mean anything! It's not like he's the warrior from the story! I already know I'm not a flower. Mom still has my birth certificate and everything... But I can't shake this feeling... It's so strange...

"It never mentioned his name," Ambrosía lied.
