The Final Prophecy

Grudges

Percy POV

It had been a week since I went out with Travis and Connor. My head ached the day after but had since subsided.

I didn't have any details on that night all I knew was that we went out, I drank too much and woke up in my cabin much to the surprise of Travis and Connor, who claimed they did not take me home.

I suggested that maybe I brought myself home but they told me it was unlikely considering I couldn't stand.

It's the only explanation though so I'll just have to accept it.

I was just about to get into the shower when something flashed behind me.

I turned around to find Erebus and Nyx standing there awkwardly in my cabin's bathroom with me.

I hastily grabbed my towel and covered myself.

"Have you guys any idea what the word 'privacy' means?" I grumbled crossly.

"Sorry Perseus I just really wanted to see you naked, " Erebos said sarcastically.

Honestly, this is the second time in slightly over a week that a group of people have seen me naked and I'm not feeling it.

We all stood in silence waiting for each other to speak.

"Well is there a reason you decided to appear in my bathroom or is it just a fun pass time for you guys, " I said after a while of them standing there unexplained.

"We were going to discuss a plan of action with you for tomorrow, " Nyx said.

"Well, could you maybe arrange a date next time, "

Nyx blushed, "A date?"

What is she talking about?

Erebos cut in before I thought too much about it, "-well actually godling last time we arranged 'a date', as in a day and time, you didn't bother to show up."

Now I was blushing, "I had stuff I needed to take care of, " I muttered.

Nyx growled, "Yeah your hangover."

My cheeks grew more golden with ichor.

"Or the great excuse to why she was alone in the morning, " Erebos added.

"Wait what, " I said confused at what Erebos said.

"You'll find out soon enough kid I'm sure."

What the hell?

I was so embarrassed about them knowing how drunk I got, that I forgot I was in only a towel.

"Uh, can you guys like, I don't know, wait in there while I get a shower, " I said pointing out the bathroom door and into the main part of the cabin, "And then we can arrange a plan or whatever."

Nyx and Erebos nodded and left me in the bathroom. I reached forward and closed the door behind them.

Nyx POV

Erebos and I sat in silence on Perseus' bed waiting for him to return from the bathroom.

"Do you not think it would be better off without them? " Erebos said out of the blue.

"Who?" I replied.

"The gods."

"Well someone would need to take their position of power."

"Yeah, that's the idea."

"Who then? You?" I laughed.

"Yeah, why not, the gods have made such a mess. I could do better." He said confidently. "Would you not want to rule?"
