Son Of Apollo

Chapter 3-FROM THE CHANDELIER!!!

Thomas Brodie-Sangster^^^ as Avery Turner

Jaylon POV

He looks so young, like a child, yet he has the staff's uniform. To me, he looked around 18 maybe 19; what is he doing working on a cruise ship? Whatever not my problem, what is my problem is that he knows what Jathos and I are. I'll have to take him to Mnemosyne and have her or one of her servants wipe his memory. Such a trouble this anthrópinos (human). After his whole body was clear from bites and hickeys, I heaved a sigh and picked him up, noticing how underweight he was. He was sure going to be surprised when his memory gets wiped, imagine suddenly losing weight from one day to the other. Hmm, we'll have to feed him a lie of some sort, maybe toy with his memories a bit. That'll be fun.

Should we go with a parachute accident or overboard employee? Overboard employee sounds more logical, but a parachute sounds waaaay more fun. Choices, choices what to do?

"W-will yuh ge meh o-ou of here?" I looked down at the little human in my arms and saw his eyes squinting up at me, his chest heaving as he tried to get some air into his lungs, but was obviously having a hard time due to the venom that Jathos fed him.

"Yes, I'll get you out of here just rest" a weak shake of his head, "I'll dieh" poor thing, so weak and small. "You won't die. Just rest" sigh, stubborn human. I laid a kiss laced with my healing power on his forehead and watched as his eyes slowly closed before his head lolled against my shoulder. "Humans, so weird to interpret". I moved him from my arms to my left shoulder and bent down to pick up Jathos and place him on my other shoulder. I closed my eyes and focused on the suite on the other side of the cruise, opened my eyes and found myself in it. After laying down my brother and the human on the bed I teleported to the Captain's quarters. 

"Gather your high ranking employees, we're having a meeting" the coffee he was drinking was now on the carpet and his clothes, his posture changed in the second I spoke with his hand on his head in the form of salute. He gave me a firm yes sir before running away to do what I said. After about 20 minutes there were about 25 people in the Captain's quarters, none having a single idea who I was and what I was about to do. 

"As I can see, you have no idea who I am. Well let me tell you, I am Jaylon, oldest son of Apollo" gasps were heard all around the room before they kneeled down, "as much as the gesture suits you all, stand. I have called this meeting because of something I found. My father sent me here on a mission to find my brother. So imagine my shock when I find him on the lowest level, with a human employee, dirty and starving. Is that any way to treat a son of your God? Answer me!!" the sound of 'no sir' and 'no my lord' was heard all round. Each of them too scared of me to do or say anything else. "Then which of you nimrods will explain to me why he was in that situation" this time none of them spoke, their heads were lowered and some even had their necks bared with the lyre of Apollo showing, a clear sign of submission. 

"All of you, stand in a file. This is the last time you ever treat one of your Lords this way. If I ever hear a word about something similar to this, what I'm about to do to you will be considered child's play." A few had begun to cower away when I muttered énkavma (pronounced en-yay-ma, means burn), and they began to scream and writhe on the floor, their hands flying to the mark on their necks to try and relieve the pain their marks were giving them. A few of them had started to beg me to stop, but I waited and waited until they couldn't do anything else but scream. Then I stopped. "Don't forget that even if I am the son of Apollo, I'm also the son of a fire demon. Combine the two and I could burn you close to what the sun feels like. I'll be leaving now, and I'll also take the human." I turned around and found myself again in my suite. The human was still sleeping, his breath now even and steady. My brother, on the other hand, was awake and stuffing his face with a pizza. I walked over to him and took sat down on the other side of the sofa. 

"How are you feeling brother?" he gave me a big thumbs up, but never took his attention off the pizza in front of him, "what's your name?" 

"Jathos Stravos, you're Jaylon, right? Dad's told me a few things about you, but he never introduced me to you, always told me you had things to do" 

"How old are you?" he stopped to think for a second before answering, "I'm 613, but my looks say about 19. How about you? You must be reeeeeally old if you're dad's oldest son" 

" Bitch, I'm not that old. Only about 751, but I look like a 23-year-old, see not old. "this guy... who does he think he is calling me old? 751 is not old. I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, "I don't know what that kid is talking about, there's not a single white hair. Our father is old, but Zeus forbid someone tells him that or I'll never hear the end of it." shaking those thoughts out of my head I thought about the human. Thank Zeus I found them before anyone else if that wasn't the case the kid could've told other people and I'd hate the paperwork that would come with erasing all of those memories. I sighed and went back to the room only to find Jathos asleep on the sofa with a pizza slice hanging off his mouth, "I don't know if I should call that nasty or impressive" another sigh and shake of my head later I went over to him and laid him down next to the human, my hands went to the end of the bed and I focused on transporting the whole bed to my father's throne room. A few seconds later I turned around and found myself right in front of my father's throne, "Father! I have finished my mission!" fire appeared on the throne a second later, only to die out and leave my father sitting on his throne.

"Jaylon! You're back! And so quickly. Did you like my surprise? Jathos has come here before but he's never met you, but from now on he'll be living with us. But enough on that matter, would you be a sweetie and tell why there's a bed in the middle of my throne room?" he walked down a few stairs in front of his throne and started to circle the bed. "Is it a gift? For being an amazing father? Oh, thank you, you shouldn't have!" he was quick to jump on the bed but I held him suspended in the air with a stare. 

"If you would look at what is under the blanket father, you will understand why I brought it here" he hummed and broke free of my hold, then carefully brought the blanket down. 

"Oh, this is interesting, it's been ages since I last played with a human. Let's see what the future holds for him" he rolled up the sleeves on his shirt and put his hands on each side of the human's head. While he was doing this his face had different expressions; at first, it was sadness, then it turned to a small smile, and the rest of the time his smile kept getting bigger and bigger. He took his hands off of the human and put them on his hips, then walked over to me like he was on a runway. "As of now you are in charge of this human, you may do whatever you want with him as long as it's not harmful. I'll be keeping a close eye on him so don't try anything funny" He strutted past me and into his quarters. 

"Wooooooooooooah. This is soooo cool!! I've never been in father's throne room!" Jathos was already flying around the room and hanging onto the chandelier with his incubus wings and tail. His horns probably too little to be visible with his hair. "I'M GONNA SWING!!!! FROM THE CHANDELIER!!!!!! FROM THE CHANDELIER!!!" Zeus help me. I have to take care of a weak human and a weird, and stupid looking, brother.
