Orb of the Protogenoi

Caution

"I never thought I'd say this but, greek sucks!"

Weekend came and Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were at the public library to decipher the parchment given to them. With books of history and language of Ancient Greece, they managed to decode half of the writings. They have been there for a few hours now, even skipping lunch just to have more time in their hands.

Poseidon laughed as he put an arm around Zeus' shoulders. "At least we're getting somewhere with this." He snatched the paper and showed it to him. "We should be done with this line if you would stop whining." He felt the piece of paper swiped from his hand by the other.

Zeus shrugged off the arm and said "Funny, if I remember you're the one who keeps on dozing of-" He was cut off by his own yawn.

He grinned. "You were saying?"

The boy was about to answer when Hades took the parchment from him. "If you two would stop playing around, we should've been done an hour ago."

"Its just so hard!" said Zeus, and suddenly, he felt his stomach growl which made his brothers stare at him.

Hades rolled his eyes and returned to his work while Poseidon was trying to stifle his laughter so they wouldn't be reprimanded by the old librarian for the third time.

Zeus blushed a crimson red and whispered "I'm hungry ok!" He looked at his watch and it said 3:32 "Just for the sake of the world, we're even sacrificing our snack time."

"If you want, I have some mints in my bag." said Hades as he continued scribbling notes.

"I don't think that will help much."

Poseidon was tapping his fingers on the table while studying the atlas. Something was bothering him ever since he saw the place where they're supposed to go. "I know I've been in this part of the ocean before but I don't remember why I did go there."

Zeus smirked. "Maybe that's where you "lost" the princess you abducted hundred years ago."

His eyes widened. "Oh my Chaos! You might be right!"

Hades took a book from the pile before saying "Well, if it is, we can be sure that the human's carcass must be rotting down there in Damian's abode…maybe it's even being used by your people."

"Oh Chaos~" Poseidon rubbed his face while Zeus stifled his laughter by coughing.

"As you two were reminiscing the past, I've finished this paragraph and I believe I could finish the last one in twenty minutes if you two weren't here."

"We helped too you know! We'll do the last one then." Zeus was about to reach for the parchment when his brother said "It's alright. It's just three lines, and if you want to do something could you get this," He gave him a piece of paper. "it's the book that I showed you and I think I left it in the third shelf on the right."

He was not in the mood so he turned to the older boy. "Damian, you get it."

"Nope. Besides, you're the youngest."

He cocked an eyebrow. "Which means?"

Hades adjusted his glasses as he said "In the human world, the youngest serves the older siblings, not the other way around. If you want to lessen the suspicion on us, then you better play along."

Zeus was about to retort when he thought about what Hades said. He stood up and went away grumbling.

Poseidon turned to him and asked "Seriously?" He saw him take out some money and put it in front of him.
