Barbaric realms

"This is..."

Eurus looked around the room, gold, white, and silver scattered around the room, it had some of the agriculture from Greece, large pedestals around the room looking like they held the roof up, Eurus stopped his gaze on a woman walking toward them,

"Shai, you look better,"

Athena held out her hand for Shai to take, and Shai grabbed it, she noticed that Shai's strength had gotten better. Athena glanced at Shai's side, seeing the weapon there. It was faded but still there, aware of what it had done. Athena let go of Shai, changing her gaze to Shai,

"Your weapon brought you here?"

She turned her head to the figures and continued,

"Can't you two make a portal?"

The figures stiffened at Athena's question, the figure glanced at Zeus sitting in his chair, looking at them with fascination. The figure felt a weight on his chest like no other. He knew what would happen if they joined, but if they didn't, it would be worse off. The other figure glanced at him, seeing how unnerved the figure is, The other figure grinned at them before saying,

"We have an offer for ya,"

Zeus looked at them confused but soon understood what they could mean, Zeus let out a chuckle offering them a chair, The other figure let a flustered chuckle, while the figure started to breathe again walking over to the chair and sat down with the other figure following behind him, Zeus noticed how the figure was acting. It was the opposite of how he would act. It must be serious this time.

"Who are you?"

Eurus sees a tall brown haired man walk towards him, his helmet on his hip glowing a deep red, Eurus stared at him concerned leaned closer to Shai, She glanced at him seeing him staring at Ares frightened. Ares stopped in front of them, glaring down at Eurus,

"You didn't answer me. Who are you?"

Eurus gawked at Ares, maybe he should have taken the figure's offer to stay back, before he could muster a word, Shai placed her arm over Eurus's shoulder, and stared at Ares, warning him.

"He is Eurus Dimonad. Known for his knowledge of anime and good food, he has great experience with computers and political devices,"

Eurus turned to her, staring at her stunned, Shai looked at him, knowing that he and Judy talked about the work back and forth in the morning,

"How do you know that?"

"You not particularly quite talking with Judy in the morning, about her work,"

Eurus huffed, looking away from her muttering an apologe, Shai looked back at Ares with a smile still on her face,

"You seem the same."

Ares had a barely noticeable snarl. But Shai could see it, Ares stared at her seeing the weapon on her side and went to her eyes, they where still brown, not the gold from before.

"So do you. What's your point?"

Shai got off of Eurus and walked up to Ares, Shai felt his gaze on her, staring through her. Shai pats his arm and says,

"I mean, don't change Ares,"

She walkes past him looking towards Zeus and the figuers seeing them talking, Shai can her the tone in figuers voice,

"You see, we have set our differences with the her,"

"You went against her ruin?"

"That is... not exactly,"

Shai felt a hand on her arm, seeing that it was Ares, Shai saw his gaze. It was calm. Not an ounce of anger in his eyes. He moved his head, staring at them,

"If this is that serious, then wait,"

"Why wait?"

Ares moved to her, glancing back at her. He looked down at her weapon and saw that it wasn't there. He looked back but before he could say anything,

"Let them say there peace, before you can say your," Athena said

Athena gaze stayed on Shai while she hand rested on Eurus back. She moved to them and Eurus tried not to flinch under her hand, Shai got out of his grip and looks at Eurus. She sees his gaze shifting,

"There not going to hurt ya,"

She felt an arm around her with a heavy gust of wind came from beside her, Shai gaze went to her shoulder, it's Hermes looking at Eurus with curiosity and lean tp Shai's ear,

"This is Eurus right? The anime knowledge guy, conrtoler of food?"

Shai held in a chuckle,

"Sort of yeah,"

Hermes looked back up at him and saw Ares was glaring at him, Hermes lifted his hands, flying in the air,

"You shouldn't glare at someone, who has done nothing,"

"You've done something,"

Hermes turns to his back, staring at Ares upside down, Ares lets out a huff glaring up at Hermes, who asks with a grin,

"What's that?"

"What you are doing,"

Hermes turned again poking Ares's helmet, Ares grabbed Hermes hand, making him let out a yelp, Hermes started to tell Ares to let him, but He didn't telling him,

"You know not to antagonize me that way."

Hermes tried to get out of his grip while Shai Eurus and Athena watched, Eurus stared at them perplexed, and Athena let out a chuckle then saw Shai walking up to the figures and Zeus, Shai placed her hand on the figure's chairs making them turn there gaze to her,

"Shai, nice to see you again, I guess it's different this time," Zeus said

"You already know why we are here then,"

Zeus smiled at her, always straight to the point, isn't she. He already knew of the figuers wanted, but with them bringing her along, it would be more interesting than he thought.

"In some way, I already knew,"

Zeus lifted up his hand pointing where Shai was, Shai looked at him weirdly but then felt the marble beneath her shake. Shai grins at Zeus feeling herself sat in a marble chair, Shai looked at him seeing him let out a chuckle and pointed at her,

"Did you guess I would do that?"

"You've done it before, but a little flashy don't you think?"

"Nothing is to flashy for me," Zeus let out

Shai let out a chuckle, The figuers looked at them flabbergasted at first but they know there interactions by now. They grew a closer understanding after her training. Eurus witnessed this looking at them dumbfounded, when the figures said that they would protect him, Eurus thought they would be more unwelcoming, he can get why with Ares, however, Athena is kind and he could see that Hermes wasn't to bad ether. Eurus shifts his gaze to Hermes seeing him poke Ares helmet making Ares glare at him, he took Hermes helmet placing it on his side before walking to Zeus, Hermes followed grumbling about his helmet,

"Let's follow them,"

Eurus felt a hand on his back and saw it was Athena, she gave his a push towards them, Eurus almost fell but he caught himself then caught off balance again, he is caught by a chair. Eurus stared down shocked holding onto the chair and it moved to next to the figuer, Athena let out a huff, following after him, Zeus gave Eurus a smile and said

"You where taking a bit to long,"

Eurus stopped breathing heavily, he glanced at the room feeling overwhelmed.

"Just a heads up would be nice," Eurus let out,

Zeus hummed at his response and looked at the people around him. He then stared at the figuer and saying,

"Now that we have everyone here, tell us what the offer you have for us,"

The figuer flinched at Zeus tone. The other figuer let out a fatigue laugh and felt the piercing gaze of the deities, the other figuer clears his throat and says,

"As we where saying, the offer we have for you all, would be beneficial at the start but will be very difficult for what we are planing,"

"Spit it out," Ares spate out

The other figuer turned to him and gave Ares a mischievous grin,

"I was just getting to that, but you seem to be inpatient,"

Shai shook her head at this, seeing that the other figuer turn back to Zeus his grin gone.

"She went to Shai seeking her partnership,"

Zeus gaze turn cold. That is how they fist made it out to be. He knew of there tactics from the beginning, the other deities felt the same way, they knew of there so called partnership was a trap.

"And she told them to jump on a spear?" Ares asked

Shai held in her laughter with Eurus letting out a snort. The figuer glared at the two as the other figuer let out a chuckle, he kept his eyes on Zeus, but he didn't get to respond.

"I did," Shai answered

Zeus truned to her with the same looking in his eyes,

"Then you choose wisely Shai, they would have used you and what you had then toss you into the dumps of history,"
