Two Broken Souls

Chapter nine: The Loyal Hero

Our current destination was under the ocean. Doctor Octopus had a lab down there. Now I have to admit I was nervous. I mean my father could probably sense me in his domain and then he'll tell the other gods that he sensed an aura potentially more powerful than them. Which meant they'll be hunting me until they had my hide. That's why I'm currently practicing the art of blocking my aura from other people.

Basically I made my aura visible to everyone and worked on hiding it. This was practice so I got Steve to help. My aura was blackish purplish. It was all over me and it glowed brightly. I got Steve to tell me if something happened to it.

I was trying very hard on thinking of it going away, but it didn't work. At times like this I wish there was someone that can teach me how to use my many powers. Unfortunately I was the only one besides Chaos to have this many powers and there is no way I'm going to him/her. That's one more primordial to make an enemy of.

I like my life. Thank you very much.

Anyway I was trying different ways of making it disappear. Suddenly I got an idea. Instead of thinking my aura was gone, maybe I could think of turning it into that of a human. It should work. I think...

Let's just hope that something else doesn't happens to me...

With that in mind I started changing it. Making it weaker. Less noticable. More human.

"Percy! The aura changed color! Is that supposed to happen?" Steve said, panicked.

I looked down to see a peach human aura. The bad news is that it was draining my energy, but that shouldn't be a problem once I get near the water. "I did it!" I squealed as I hugged Steve.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you," I then kissed Steve's cheek. As you can imagine Steve was as red as a tomato. I love messing with him. He gets so worked up on girls touching him in any way.

"It was nothing," Steve stuttered out.

Right now we were supposed to be on the way to the ocean, but I convinced Steve to stay behind and help me out.

"I suppose we should be going out"

I grabbed Steve by the arm pits and flapped my big black wings to the sky.

"Put me down!" Steve screamed in panic.

"Sure thing old man," I dropped him.

He screamed all the way down til Blackjack swooped in. Yes I said Blackjack. You know the rare loyal black Pegasus I rescued. I called him to carry Steve because he's dang heavy. I mean seriously what does the guy eat! I know what your thinking. Shouldn't you be able to activate super strength or some weird thing like that. Well let's just say I'm felt lazy.

Steve was currently staring at the black Pegasus in shock. I don't blame him. He never saw a winged horse before.

Maybe I shouldn't of introduced him to the supernatural animal so suddenly.

Nah he'll get over it.

"What's up boss," Blackjack said.

"Nothing much. Steve needs a ride."

Steve finally got over his shock. "You talked to a horse with freakin wings."

"Way to state the obvious. You're acting like me with my ex boyfriend."

"But it has wings!" He said, trying to make sense of it.

"So do I," I countered.

"That's different. It's on a horse."

"Haha if you think this is bad you should meet Mrs. O' Leary."

I gave Steve some time to recuperate while I checked the time.
