"Hello there, friends of Nikolas!" Pythia beamed.
Ria and Melinoe blankly stared at her. Era held a look of intrigue, and Bellerophon was holding his chuckles in at the situation. Pegasus didn't really care about anything other than getting pet by Nikolas.
She was hanging onto Nikolas' arm as if she was his lover, while Nikolas was occupied with petting Pegasus with his other hand.
"Another one?" Melinoe glanced at Ria.
"It looks like it." Ria frowned.
"Hey, lighten up sis." Bellerophon laughed, wrapping an arm around Ria.
"I told you to not call me that!" Ria elbowed the laughing man in his side. "It feels weird!"
Era stared at Pythia with an interesting gaze. Without a doubt that was the Oracle of Delphi. She remembered her from when Hermes had brought her and told everyone about the prophecy she had obtained.
Of course it wasn't surprising that the Oracle of Delphi was in the city she was known after. But was it simply just a coincidence that the prophecy-bearer and Era's believed center of the prophecy happened to meet?
When they were both blind as well?
No. It wasn't like she suspected something sinister. Rather, she couldn't help but feel like the next step of the prophecy was happening.
To some, that would be worrisome. But to her, she didn't believe change was a bad thing. Changing the gods, from her view, hadn't ever been an overthrowing from what she has observed of this group.
Of course, it wouldn't hurt to watch them longer. Though she couldn't help but wonder why the Oracle's appearance slightly annoyed her. Especially those arms around her-
"Miss Oracle, may I speak to you for a moment?" Era cleared her throat.
"Yes! Of course." Pythia smiled.
"Era?" Ria wondered.
"Maybe she wants her future told." Melinoe shrugged.
"Possibly." Nikolas added in. "Pythia gave me a divination."
"What?!" The two girls exclaimed, looking at him in shock.
"Were you were alone with her?!" Ria gasped.
"What happened?!" Melinoe worriedly asked.
"How are you alive?" The words came from Pythia's mouth, but their origin laid somewhere further away.
"A simple divination." Nikolas replied. "Then I had to take her to bed."
Melinoe stared at him in shock.
"He means it literally." Ria sighed.
"Oh, thank goodness." Melinoe sighed in relief as she wiped her forehead.
"How else would I mean it?" Nikolas tilted his head.
"Well..." Melinoe smirked.
"Don't worry about it!" Ria replied, elbowing Melinoe in the side.
"Ow! Hey!" Melinoe grunted.
"Anyways, why did she come back with you?" Ria asked. 'I want to know what she told him...'
"She said she is interested in me." Nikolas stated.
