Orb of the Protogenoi

Attack on the Giants

"Zeus."

The said boy opened his eyes to see his brother. He noticed that he was all dressed up. He blinked a few times before asking "Are you going somewhere?"

"We're going to downtown right now."

He raised an eyebrow. "But it's still too early."

Poseidon took the alarm clock from the bedside table and showed it to Zeus. "Actually, it's already 10:40."

"What?!" Zeus quickly sat up and took the clock from him to look at it closely. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

The older boy crossed his arms. "I tried to wake you up but you wouldn't budge. I got worried so I told Hades and he came to check on you. He said you were tired and we should just let you sleep for a few hours."

"Tired from what? We only went to the library yesterday."

"He said that your discharge last Friday must have taken a toll on you, though I don't know why today. Anyway, do you still feel tired?"

Zeus shook his head. "Not like yesterday."

"You can stay here if you don't want to come with us. I just woke you up because you were stirring in your sleep."

He got out of bed while saying "N-No, I'll come. I just need to take a shower."

His brother nodded. "Alright, we'll wait for you downstairs." He went to the door and before going out he said "Oh yeah. Make sure you bring your sword. Any time, he might strike."

"Yeah."

"What are you playing anyway? It's so gruesome!"

He smirked "One of the best games I've bought! It's called RE5."

Apollo sighed. "No wonder you can't concentrate in class. It's because of this!"

"Damn it Apollo! It's freakin' Sunday! Besides, I like it! Those monsters look fun to kill!" said Ares.

Few minutes later, Zeus went down to see everyone watching Hermes play his game console. They didn't notice him until he said "I wasn't that long, aren't I?"

Hades asked "Your beauty sleep, or you getting ready?"

Poseidon laughed. "Alright, let's go."

"And just when I was about to battle the boss!" exclaimed Hermes as he turned off the console.

Dionysus asked. "How are we going to get there?"

"We're going to take the bus, like we did when the three of us went to the library yesterday." answered Poseidon, who looked nervous.

The five younger boys were like children during the ride downtown. When they got on, Hephaestus took the seat behind the bus driver so he could see how he makes the bus move. The man got nervous because he thought that the boy was gazing at him, like he was going to steal his soul. Hermes kept changing seats to see which window on the bus has a better view, while Ares didn't want to sit down because he felt like he was riding his chariot and wanted to look cool. The bus driver had been telling them to sit down when the latter went and threatened him if he doesn't shut his mouth. Apollo was asking the humans about what downtown looks like and if there are any shops that they would recommend, and since no one was answering him, he asked the others. Dionysus' only problem was that he kept on spilling his drink on his seatmate, who luckily was asleep. His white shirt was stained with grape juice, and it kept getting bigger as Dionysus spilled on it.
