EXPLICIT WARNING

I felt an odd sensation travel throughout my body. I kept going in and out of sleep. It was relaxing yet stressful at the same time. Intensifying every time I'd actually notice it. My body started to wake up and the feeling enveloped my nether regions. 

My eyes shot open and I noticed a lump under the blanket. I could feel a hot mouth on me and at this point I found myself panting. I pulled the blanket up to reveal the blue eyed boy looking back at me. 

"Zach.." I muttered out. He kept going, as quickly as he could. 

I couldn't control myself, I felt myself getting close. "How long have you been doing this?" He came up for air. 

"About 10 minutes, you were moaning a lot in your sleep." He went back to what he was doing, never breaking eye contact. I hissed from the burning heat that was building inside of me. 

I gripped his shoulders trying to push back but he wasn't having it. In one motion he took all of me deep in his mouth and I dug my finger nails into his back, releasing all I had in me. He moaned against me and it caused me to shudder. When he finally came up he gave me a peck. 

"That was completely unexpected." I breathed out. He laughed. "So was what you did last night so I figured I'd return the favor." I kissed him back. We laid there for a few moments. I admired his features. 

His dark hair complemented his dark blue eyes. His sharp jaw line shaped his face and his lips were shaped beautifully. I still couldn't figure out how he was so dark, so evil feeling but at the center I felt so much purity and love for me. 

My thoughts were broken when I heard a grunt. I snapped my fingers and we were both clothed. 

"Boys, we have a problem." 

We ran towards the palace and up the stairs. Once in the thrown room all the Gods were in there having quiet conversations, most with distressed faces. In the middle lay Zeus, weak and dimly lit. 

"Boys come here." He coughed. We ran to his side and he took my hand. "Gods do not die, so do not fear this fate." I nodded, looking at all the Gods in the room who's attention was now on us. 

"I was poisoned with an ancient concoction that Hecate created to dim a God's powers. So that they may walk among the mortals." 

Hecate stepped forward. "This is not my doing, that herb is harmless." Zeus coughed again and it made everyone uneasy. 

"I know. Hades changed the herb in the vile and what he created weakens Gods. Makes them age." There was a collective gasp. 

"The herb has been destroyed, there's no danger now. But I had too much of it and now I am dimming. Soon I will be mortal and I will pass." I looked over at Hecate and the other Gods. "Is there a way to fix this? Counter it?" She shook her head no. "It has been too long and without the herb I'm afraid we can't create an antidote."

I looked back down at Zeus and his glow was starting to fade. "Out of sheer anger and not of wisdom I destroyed the herb. Not knowing what lasting affects it would have, I only wanted to protect everyone." I nodded. 

A tear fell from my eye. I felt pain, I felt saddened. I'm the God of Gods, God of Zeus, and yet I'm still powerless to help him.

"Don't be sad, but I must warn you. If I become mortal there is no God of the Sky-" Athena stepped forward, "Which means there's no radiant sword." Zeus nodded. 

"We're out of time, you must manifest it now." Everyone in the room watched me as I took a step back. 

"I don't think I can do this." Zeus nodded at me. "You must." I took a deep breath. I watched as everyone was uneasy and nervous. 

"I call the power of Zeus." My flame grew and parts of it flew out in front of me, forming a ball of bright yellow energy.

"I call the power of Athena." The same happened, but this time a ball of bright red energy next to the yellow one. 

"I call the power of Hecate." A ball manifested silver next to the other two.

"I call the power of Aphrodite." A pink flame came out of the crown and grew next to the other two.

"I call the power of Hephaestus." The five balls of energy grew white and all the Gods were in awe. I floated high above the room and began manipulating. The flame on my crown grew bright and powerful. Many Gods looked away from the intensity. The shape of the sword was forming. 

I felt one of my bones crack. I let out a horrendous scream but held up the manifestation. It grew brighter, unstable. "Hey! Release Athena's energy!" I could barely make out who said that. 

I saw Adeline next to me. "I release Athena's energy!" The red flowed back into my crown and my leg healed itself. 

"I call the power of Adeline! Into the manifestation!" She shouted. Her dark red energy went into the sword. 

I saw a handle manifest into material. But the blade was to bright, I manipulated and formed energy around but something was missing. "It's too unstable!" I screamed. 

Zach hovered next to me, "I call the power of Zachariah! Into the manifestation!" Blue dark energy went into the sword and a clean blade came into existence. 

In an instant the flame on my crown turned black. Adeline and Zach moved away from me forming a triangle around the sword. 

Zach screamed and then Adeline followed after. A crown manifested over their foreheads. Adeline used hers to focus balance within the sword, the energy was intense but stayed contained. It glowed a hot red. 

But Zach's had a flame, bright and white. While Adeline formed a red containment orb around the weapon the flames grew out of our crowns and danced around each other. 

As the white and black danced and flashed it went right into the orb of containment and the blade became inscribed with a language I couldn't understand. One side was glowing white and the other was black. As soon as the energy was completely in, the orb exploded. 

Energy went everywhere, throwing everyone back but me. I grabbed the swords handle and it glowed white, radiating energy. I looked down as everyone was standing back up. 

Adeline and Zach didn't have crowns. I hovered in the middle of the room and everyone started cheering and screaming. 

I floated down and put my hand on Zeus'. "I will fix this, I promise." Zeus gave me a weak smile. Zach put his arm on my shoulder and Adeline stood next to me. I inspected the sword as it lit up our faces. 

"Next stop, underworld."

A/N: I really wanna make a comic strip out of this. I don't know why but that's just how I view this story in my head. That'd be pretty cool aye?
