Hades' Lost Son

Clean Up

Felix whined endlessly as the two of them walked at a slow pace towards the prison for 'the worst of the worst' by Alex's standards.

"Are we there yet?" Felix asked for probably the twentieth time within the last hour.

"If we were there, we wouldn't still be walking in the same direction, now would we?" Alex replied, clearly being annoyed.

"Yeah, but this is so far, can't we take a break?"

"No, we need to get there and back as quick as possible."

Felix groaned. Alex was a good guy, but goddamn! Was it necessary to walk that distance with no breaks, not even just a drink?

"Press forward Felix, we can do this," Alex said, a smile that was clearly fake plastered on his face.

"Yeah, you can, but I'm a normal dude, I don't have insane amounts of strength," Felix replied in a grumble.

"You are definitely above average though."

Felix almost tripped. What? Above Average? What was that supposed to mean exactly? He decided against questioning it. Alex probably meant it in a harmless way, not the way that he took it.

They simply continued walking. One foot in front of the other. Left, right, left, right. Felix mind wandered further into the depths of his fantasies, and himself as they continued, because there was nothing else to do.

~~~~~Back to the Group at the Castle~~~~~

"I can't believe this!"

"What exactly?"

"Arete's gone!" Gwyn hollered, kicking a wall, but instantly regretting it. Pain spiked up his toes, causing him to curse the inanimate wall out.

"Calm dude! Calm," Blaise said, trying to hold him still, "Getting pissed won't do anything for anyone."

"Where the hell is she??" Gwyn asked for the hundredth time since he realized she still hadn't been found.

"I don't know!" Blaise replied, "You need to think before you do something rash!"

"Where's Persephone?"

"Who?" 

"Hades' wife! Idiot!"

"I don't think she'll know either," Kayne said as he walked up, giving his phone a very disappointed look.

"Why wouldn't she?"

"It's worth the shot," Blaise muttered.

"Try upstairs master bedroom or something," Kayne suggested, still staring at his phone screen.

Gwyn took off, leaving the two behind. "What's up with you?" Blaise asked, confused about Kayne's depression to some degree.

"My phone died."

Blaise scratched the back of his neck, and barely managed to keep himself from chuckling, "That's seriously why you look so sad?"

"My phone is my lifeline! No connections down here, but I still had games, random information saved onto it that is exceedingly helpful!"

"Like what, your crush's bra size?"

"That's need to know info!" Kayne blurted out before realizing what he'd just said. Blaise chuckled at him, "How did you even?"

"Lucky guess."

"That's rather creepy," Aurora said as she walked up.

"Any sign of all those soldiers Hades had?" Blaise asked her.
