"They're coming." Oliver's now icy blue eyes snapped open, and they relaxed from their meditative position. They drop to the ground, having been levitating.

"Whom?" Khione asked, sitting on her throne as she watched her new right hand general awake from their meditation. They've been getting quite a handle on their new powers. It was amazing to watch them grow.

"My old life: My darling moon and my siblings." They scoffed, a disgusted look upon their now pale features. Over time their skin, tanned from their time in the sun became paler as their powers grew stronger.

"Oh?" Khione's interest was piqued.
"Well this won't do. How are they getting here?"

"Ship. A small, old boat. It goes quite fast. Leo must be captain... Willow doesn't know how to sail."

"Where are they?" She stood, moving to the new recruit she grew so fond of and resting her icy hand on their shoulder.

"They're just off the western coast of florida and heading south east. I have a feeling after they pass Florida, they'll turn Northeast, then up north to where we are." It was the least dangerous route they could take. Oliver intertwined their own fingers together, sighing.

"I see." Khione clicked her tongue.
"I'll just have to slow them down until we're ready."

"How will you do that?" Oliver tilted their head up to look at the goddess.

"I have sirens in the sea, up north, where Posideon doesn't look often. I'll have them swim south, draw the boy in the waves and drown him. We'll see what you want to do about your sister."

Oliver responded immediately:

"I want Luna alive. Just her, no one else. I couldn't care less of my sister."

"Very well." She grinned. She's taught them well. Siblings don't matter if they're not on your side, regardless of how close they were in the past.
"We'll have them take her here."

"And if that doesn't work?" They asked. Thorough. It was a good trait of Oliver's.

"I'll send my finest sailors to kill the two, and bring Luna. Do you care if she's hurt?" It was very likely that Luna would get hurt in the process of getting there, be it from wounds or hypothermia. The waters were growing colder, and freezing along the perimeters of continents.

"Whatever it takes to get her here." Oliver wanted nothing more than to see her again. Her darling eyes, her feisty personality. They wanted her. No one else. Just their darling moon.

"Very well."

They paused.
"We need to think of a third backup. They were persistent with Isaiah. Who knows how they'll be with us." They stood and began to pace the throne room.

"We'll let them come to us and kill them personally, then." The idea made the goddess all giddy in her cold dead heart. She wanted nothing more than to watch these heroes freeze. Especially the fire one.

"As you say, Khione." Oliver grinned. This was going to be an absolute blast.

It took me a while to get used to the boat. I became seasick in the first few hours, but once the sun set I was all good and dandy. Or as good and dandy as I could get, being terrified of deep water.

I still hated being on the water; That wasn't ever really going to change. Whereas Will and Leo were going and leaning over the rails, spinning wheels, climbing ropes and being pirates, like the crazy bitches they were, I was safe and sound on the main deck. Call me a party pooper, but i'd rather not risk it.
