            "Chloe, there is something wrong with that mage, if you couldn't already tell. Mylas Larkon. He has sought my help but I fear it may get in the way of our plans to find Morrganne." Belenus's eyes darted over to Chloe as the two stood outside of a restaurant. Belenus had just moments ago finishing a long conversation with Mylas the Mage. "So, I have to ask how you feel about all this. Should we take a break from our current objective and help Mylas?" 

           Chloe put a finger to her cheek in thought as her coal-black hair fell smoothly down her pale skin. "I personally wouldn't be against it. I didn't really think a mage would be necessary in this realm, though. This is the world of gods and goddesses after all." 
            "Quite. Mylas is, in fact, a sort of 'demi-god', if you would put it that way. He was born from a normal mortal elf and the goddess Aine. He was always to be a very aspiring and successful person, having been born into Unseelie royalty. However," Belenus licked his lips, patting his cheek with a nearby napkin, and looked down at some grass. "he recently came upon a sort of spell that has been hindering his ability to enjoy life. Which should not be the case, as you know -- you dear sweet thing, you -- because spells are very much to make life easier for people." 
          "Sure, sure. So. What kind of spell was it?" Chloe rubbed her chin. 
         "I'm not certain myself, but I fear it may be quite a dastardly work of art." 
         Chloe crossed her arms. "Oh, come on. Don't get all metaphorical and magical on me now. I want to know. To be honest, I'm only, like, half for this. Like I said, this dimension doesn't really need mages and we have our own objective. But I don't wanna be shitty about it. If you really wanna help this Mylas guy out, then by all means, I'd like to assist in any way I can, too."
         "Hm. You almost sound like you want to finally partake in a contract with me." Belenus narrowed his eyes and grinned. 
       "Yeesh. Well when you make that kinda face, I'm spooked." Chloe backed up. 
        "Ha! I'm just goofing about. Nonetheless, I do want to help Mylas. You see, it's sort of my responsibility. His mother is my sister." 
        "What?" Chloe's eyes widened, her irises shaking in the confines of her creamy corneas. "Oh. Wait. No. Duh! Ha." The Sardain girl suddenly took in a breath of fresh air. "Duh. Ha! You did say he was a 'demi-god' of sorts, and that he was born to a goddess named 'Aine'." 
        "Wow. You're a good listener." Belenus nodded. 
        "Yeah. Something I can't say the same of you." 
      "Ouch. Well, nonetheless, Aine is a fellow brethren of mine, so I must do what I can to help her offspring. You understand? Despite the fact that this woman has had so many... CHILDREN!" 

       "Really?" 

       "Yes!" Belenus nodded furiously. "Aine is a confounded slut! But she's a good girl. And she's my brethren so I must do what I can to protect her and her kids at all costs. Plus, she is the goddess of fertility, love, and light." 
      "Why do I have a feeling that her and Danu are very well-acquainted with each other?" Chloe creased her forehead and scrunched up her lips. 
       "Because you'd be 100% correct, dear! They have a sort of history about them. Nonetheless, Mylas has worried me as of late. He did even before I was sent to Earth to be a boy named 'Mathias'." 
        "What? How long has this Mylas guy been struggling?" 
        "For far too long, I would imagine. He used to walk these lands with a woman. However, for quite a while, I have not seen that woman nor Mylas in the same place together." 
       Chloe twirled her fingers together, her well-endowed bosom popping out nicely underneath her purple shirt. "You don't think they, maybe, separated and that Mylas has just been really crummy and depressed?" 
        Belenus shook his head. "No. I think something much more tragic happened."
