Seokjin had finally grown adapted to living on the carriage as they travelled to the next city. They intended to visit the biggest city on this land. The larger the population, the more they had to learn. The Goddess knew there was a large competition between the Gods on who was allowed to be the patron of the city. Every name that had been etched at the entrance had disappeared instantly. Seokjin wondered if it was a good idea for them to go there. He didn't know which deity he would run into and there was a possibility Zeus would be there too. The nauseating feeling returned once again at the thought of the King of the Heavens.

The Goddess of Harvest felt Namjoon pat his hand, rubbing his knuckles gently. He always knew when to be there at the right time. Seokjin's blush was becoming harder to hide again, so he stared off into the distance. There, by the side of the road, were two men waving at them. They seemed to want to hitch a ride.

"What if they will harm us?" Seokjin asked, he held the reigns, preparing to speed off. Namjoon easily trusted people and it was his greatest flaw, not that Seokjin would allow any human to lay a finger on them. He was merely curious for Namjoon's response, since Pandora's box had been opened sin had been summoned into this world, now even the nicest of humans had ulterior motives.

"I'll bear the consequences." Namjoon said as he pulled the reigns back. The horse stopped beside the strangers. The two men bowed thankfully. They sat inside the carriage.

"Thank you so much, we have been walking for several days. I'm Daedalus and this is my son Icarus." The older man said. "You are sent from the Gods, who are you followers of?" He asked.

"The Goddess Demeter." Namjoon replied without hesitation. Seokjin nodded in satisfaction. "We are farmers in our hometown, but currently we are travelling from town to town."

"Where are you headed?" Seokjin asked.

"We need to go to the port and take a boat headed to Crete." Icarus said. "There is a large competition for talented craftsmen. King Minos is hosting the event and we heard the reward is a large amount."

"Competition did you say?" Seokjin clapped his hand excitedly. "What is the prize?"

Daedalus hummed. "We heard King Minos could grant anything you like. All the riches in the world. All the food on the land and all the treasures of the sea."

Seokjin frowned, his own existence was the fruit of the land, Yoongi as the King of the Underworld owned all the riches of the earth and finally every treasure in the oceans belonged to Poseidon. This tournament surely couldn't benefit them. He looked at Namjoon, wondering what the human would think of this situation. Seokjin already was the most powerful weapon Namjoon could use, yet he never dared to. The Goddess was surprised to find glimmer in Namjoon's eyes, the human had bought by the speech.

"We would like to attend the competition too." Namjoon smiled.

''Now we are at sea." The Goddess sighed. Seokjin had not had a choice but to find himself on a ship headed to the island of Crete. It wasn't like they had a fixed destination, but the Goddess couldn't help but feel uneasy about travelling. The small meadow where he had lived was protected by a special barrier, one that could hide them from the other Gods. But travelling constantly without the protective barrier only made them vulnerable to any curious deity.
