Love of Nyx

Chapter 11

Nyx

I let out a sigh of relief and continued walking along the streets. I still looked over my shoulder every now and then. For once I have someone following me or we'll looking for me. Gosh I need to apologize to Aphrodite because now I know how she feels when she comes down to earth and everyone follows her like a lost puppy.

I pulled out my phone and type in the address I found which took me a couple of minutes because I'm still getting use to mundane technology. Every time I tried to type it in and error appears and I'm so confused. I finally give up and pulled up the map and the map I took a picture of back in my hotel room and compared I clicked on the area and a pin popped up and soon the address appeared. I squealed in excitement and people who were walking by gave me weird looks.

I followed the phone map too the last known location for Hephaestus and immediately I can feel his presence.
It was a builders shop and I smiled. This place definitely seems like him. It's old and smells like metal and fire.

I entered the store and a gruff looking man was sitting at the counter. To the Mundane eye you just see an old man just fixing stuff. In our eyes I could see him using his powers to create indestructible artifacts.

"Hello, Hephaestus. Your not an easy person to find. Took me nearly three months to find you" I said smiling.

The old man shot his eyes up and widen when he realized it was me.

"Nyx. Your here." He said in surprised and bewilderment. It's been a century since he has last seen me in the mundane world. Our paths don't cross much often unless needed. I stay all around the world or in Olympus and he stays in the mundane world all the time.

"Yes. I've been looking for you. I need help in creating a device for war."

"War? What war?" He said in concern and disbelief.

"Hephaestus, Lilith has created Demons to try to take over everything. These Demons already tried to attack Theia's kingdom. Athena and Ares are trying to keep them at bay but they are different. Hades can't even stop them."

He let out a stressed sigh and walked around and have me a hug.

"I will help you create such device. It will take a moment but when it's done. You and your sister must combine your powers."

"A Total blackout Eclipse? I haven't done that in a long time." I said

Before we can finish talking the bell of his shop rang and my eyes met the one of Issias.
Hephaestus turned around and greeted Issias as if they were friends.

"Hassan. Who is this lovely lady." Issias said smirking. As he walked to where I was standing. I seen his men walking too and I seen Judo walk in also.

I looked at Hephaestus and raised my brow in question. Hassan, he really went with that name.

I snickered and Hephaestus gave me a slight glare. I looked at Issias and admired how he looked.

"This is my good friend Alice." He said confidently. He remembered my fake name.

"Hassan we need more of that vest you made for Marco and Verde." The guy Judo said

"I will get on it." Hephaestus said walking back to his counter.

"Well, Hassan, I will see you later but I must take my leave now. Send me the plans when you get it." I said.

I went to walk out but was stopped by Two big guys. I raised my eyebrow and question. I know I could easily beat these men.

"Issias, I would suggest you let her go. She has quite the temper on her." Hephaestus said.

"I just want a little chat with her. I won't hurt her. I would never hurt her." He said looking at me. His eyes held so much passion in the as he looks at me.

"I also know she isn't human. And from they way your speaking you know that." He continued

I started twitching as my anger. With me being pregnant my temper has shortened too.

"Calm down. These men will let you go." Hephaestus tried to reason with me. " You must let her go. She has somewhere to be." I could hear the ringing of my ears. I don't like being caged and when I do I'm use to releasing my rage.

"I'm leaving, I would suggest moving your men from my way." I gritted out as I could feel my powers surfacing. Hephaestus looked worried because he knows my temper and how dangerous my powers can be when unleashed.

"I just need to talk to you. It won't be long and I'll even drop you off where you need to go."

I summoned darkness and soon the lights started flickering. Issias looked around and I seen him pull out his gun and was looking around frantically trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Before the darkness could come closer I started feeling lightheaded and I seen Hephaestus run my way way and I was caught by Issias.
