Cupid's Deflection (**Discontinued**)

Intro

Dolus Katsros P.O.V.

As the remnants of his work, showed fruition. Dolus a trouble some lad leaned back in his predecessors office, passed down to each lineage born whom showed potential.
His cold stare immersed itself the power to make people cower and never question his actions. A solemn gaze he earned from his father, which he was trained to perfect to get things done.
His hands were brute and calloused from the hard grueling work of his intervention between the fates and love. He had the world at his disposal, his father's words echoing in his mind as he slowly grabbed Cupid's arrow in his hand carefully examining the contraption he altered to seep hate into one being, not love.

"My agapiménos gios (beloved son), our family name and hard work is dire of diminishing. Everything your ancestors strived and worked tirelessly for centuries. The Frevoli and Avrolis are rumored for an engagement that'll link a powerhouse of mass proportions, if it's true. We'll be the bottom line. Our trade and hard work ethic won't be enough, my dear son. This will be the catalyst of Einai stou diaolou ti mana (It's at the devil's mother) if it were to emerge to be truth.. we are done for.."

"Den mas ekatse (It didn't sit on us)...Efaga porta (I ate a door).. father but what will we do.. all our efforts in vain.." I grasped his weak feeble hand beside his hospital bed.

"Swear to me my son, you'll not let this detour our ambition and dream for our beloved family." His rasp voice grew weak as he forced every syllable to escape his lips.

".orkízomai.. (i swear) " He used his last strength to give me his dying wish. I will not let the company plunder into ruin. I searched high and low for the famous oracles of Greece. They propheted our success and ruin, benefactors to my family for generations. Now they, spoke of the risk of the company becoming obsolete. Due to a frivolous thing such as love. Alas, I had to find Cupid arrow and bow to complete my patéras (father) dying wish. If, the oracle said was truth then we will be ruined for centuries to come. I needed to intervene with fate and stop this ludicrous act such as love. The oracles gave me insight.

The two with one eyeball each on opposite eyes, linked by a single thick hair strand of fate by the head. They shared the eyeball which gave one positive ambitions visions of success, the other had demise and ruin.

"As the bow tipped with red, is a symbolism for the sin of lust." The optimistic one spoke her curled golden hair doing nothing to best her black silk robe of clothing.

"Green will be your rich comings, envy will be your ally." Her hair matted and black, with frizz and in dire need of a salon, she wore white. This they used to stump off any foolish foes. Trickery was their strong suit to evade enemies and mortals.

The two finished off. I proceeded to handle the poisonous frogs mucus, grabbing his venom and altering the arrow. It was easy, Cupid was a dear friend of mine. Easy to manipulate, when it came to such silly things of love. I can only hope my dear friend of mine, never see's my true intention. Cupid is a nasty beast when angered and bewitched against the acts of love, he stands for. Although the devastating long hike to gain the poison were not.

I won't let humans ruin our grand empire, I refuse to lose to such mundane imperfect beings. I grabbed the vile of venom lacing the tip with just a drop. Recalling my first interference, that started off a chain reaction. Although a small part of me, knew for some reason I was being noble in my act. A true Prince Charming to this day and age.

"Remember the Avroli history, the men carelessly bedded woman leaving them bare to care for children on their own. A play boy act not qualified of your success nor love. A lipstick stain upon his collar showing his unfaithful act. Call upon him and show him you're no woman to trifle with." I whispered into the arrow planting the seeds of doubt and war.
I aimed the bow and arrow carefully, glowing green as if itching my finger to let it go. A sign of money, envy, success. I let it release from my fingers as I sought to see the target hit, the red pinkish glow around the harmonious couple now leeched and tainted with dark putrid color of green. Their happy emotions and idiotic flimsy love struck smiles, turned to twisted contortions of hate and jealousy. I watched the scene unfold as she made the first move. She slapped him and all matters of engagement were broken off. The storm clouded above over heard as the fates struck down with lightning, from help of zeus he he shielded them with thunder and lightning, clouding the skies. I hated storm clouds, but hurricanes using the titans are a different story..
They were always cloaked to not reveal their identities.
"My dear child, what have you done. Intervening with fate. You have begun a catalyst of devastation upon this world, making it imbalanced." She spoke morbid. I scoffed it was always grave this and that with them.
"I'm sure the world will be fine without these love birds." I placed the hilt of the bow behind me, walking to my car carefully hidden behind an oak on this rocky cliff.
"But you see just as Hydra, where you cut off one, two more should take its place, and they shall become one. As it is said and spoken in destiny. Beware of the year you eat pork." She smiled as she disappeared, as I stood shocked trying to not heed to her blabber. Just a fools tale to shake me off my course. I won't be derailed.
Yet, I was foolish to not heed that one action kept me busy seemed the universe was anement on the Frivoli's and Avroli's to come together as a power house for Greece. It kept me busy nonetheless, but my company safe. The family's whom eggs and cheese came from this company depended on it to stay a float.

"Now, I have these pesky teens in heat of desire. You'd think for once the UNIVERSE WILL GET THE HINT!" I roared at the ceiling of my office slumped in my black leather chair, slamming the arrow on the slick glass desk table, my eyes turning red with alpha blood.
I was beyond aggravated my schedule didn't allow me to go off on a whim to stop these two from meeting. Luck was on my side as the flight was canceled, yet the news didn't reach there electronics in time to notify them to just stay indoors. Since, it seemed the power went out at his work.
Oh no, even the weather was in their favor. The roads are beginning to flood. The two young ones were to be escorted to a nearby hotel to discuss about me, that only had one occupied room available with one bed.
"I CURSE YOU FOR MEDDLING WITH MY COMPANY!" I waved my fist at the air cursing, as my connections filled me in of this mishap. How could I been so foolish to trust these bafoons, to do my work. If you want it done right, best do it yourself.
I solemnly rubbed my chiseled faced, sliding my tired wounded hands behind my head ruffling my dark locks. The altering of the bows came at no easy price, I've been having knee issues of late. I feel so brittle like an old man, at just 23 year old..
I stood and marched to the board room needing to be briefed. Hopefully I can plant doubt and cause these two to make war. To make their families throw love out the window behind the two, there will be no romeo and juliet imitation on my watch. I'll make them despise each other so much, they'll be too busy fighting to even see the stock market and attend to their business affairs.
"Brief!" I yelled as I slammed open the white marble door leading to the board room. Some of my pets lurking in shadows, necromancers, skin walkers, all species capable of deception and a bad bone in their mystical forms aided me.
"Well sir, it seems the two are getting along nicely.. They're on the peak of the cusp to figure out, you were behind the family entire squabble.. you did leave loose ends sire.." One low life human merchant shook as I seethed, slamming my fist on the table. I grabbed my saber and lunged it at his neck, his blood dripping as he gurgled for life. Serves the human right telling me how to do my work.
"Get me Hades." I ordered.
"Sir you can't possibly mean.." one of my minions piped up, I sent him a chilled glare with power. How dare he speak without permission.
"GET ME HADES NOW!" I roared as my pets swiveled around the air, hissing contently at this conundrum that needed their favorite god to intervene. I was no fan of this ethics, but if my business was to suffice to say be the powerhouse of all of Greek as it were for centuries and should be. I needed the bastard to help me with my plan. He was an investor nonethless, but never partook in the meetings nor decisions. He sent his minions to do the work, as he relaxed setting devastation upon the mortal realm. He was quite sadistic and eccentric, although when it came to war his mind was baffling brilliance on its own.
Until, my peril became known.. I should of needed the signs..
