Thread: Love can bite deeper than any beast or blade... ((Me x Dragonsfoot))

Thomas smiled as he moved towards the table he chose to sit at. While tradition dictated each cabin had it's own table, the middle table was different. Sort of a veterans table. The table where demigods who'd lasted over ten summers sat. Their were ten who Qualified, and of those ten five were all together sane and whole. Most of them had either taken major wounds that had either been too massive to fix, or caused some long term issue. One had lose an eye to a hell hound, another had lost his leg from the knee down to the Minotaur. Thomas had mixed feelings about Alyissa, he didn't dislike the woman, but at the same time he had mixed feelings about her earning a seat at the Table of heroes. Thomas had just sat down, when with a twinkel of lights, a woman who looked like Eliza Dushku appeared. Thomas blinked, Mother, that an interesting form. The woman spoke in a voice dripping with sex appeal, Hey Baby, I need a favor. Thomas sighed, What now? The woman sat on his lap, Well Tommy-Wommy, Mommy's got a bit of an issue. That bitch Medusa and her skank sisters are hunting demi-gods. Can you stop her for me? Pweety please? Thomas blinked, You want me to hunt down three, major monsters? On my own. Wow, I knew we had issues, but I didn't think you wanted to kill me. Aphrodite chuckled, Silly Tommy, you won't be alone. Athena owes me one, so The daughter with hair of fire, and wits as sharp as her blade, will be joining you. Also Aries is annoyed one of his daughters has been lazing about, so The daughter whose already felt the bite of a snake monster, and has the most painful scars caused by it's fangs will also be joining you. Thomas sighed lightly, looking at Alyissa and Jessie he said, I guess I could do worse. Do I get something cool? The woman laughed it sounded like sex appeal, Hm, you got your coat, and your revolver, you don't need any knives from me. What do you want? Thomas scratched his chin, How about some sort of armor? The woman nodded, before snapping her fingers. A pair of almost silk looking gloves appeared in front of all three quest goers, in their favorite color, Aphrodite spoke, I figured you'd say that. Gloves woven from the hair of a goddess. Capable of turning even the most fearsome weapon, also as long as you have bravery in your hearts no weapon shall ever slip from your hands while wearing them. Also like the over rewards climate and comfort guaranteed. Now, I want those uber-bitches heads. Oh, put them on a platter, it's been awhile since I've been offered heads on a platter. Thomas blinked and said, Any specific platter? The goddess shook her head, Nah, but here, you'll need this. The goddess withdrew a large black bag from somewhere, it seemed to be made of the same fabric as the gloves, Put the heads in this to travel, all thee of the legendary gorgon's heads in the same container might turn the container to stone. This won't have to worry about that. Thomas nodded folding up the bag. He nodded, It will be done mother. Where should we start looking. Aphrodite told him the last attack had been at a as station a few miles from a small town in Texas. Thomas nodded, blinking when Aphrodite pulled him into a kiss only to vanish. Thomas pulled his gloves on as Chiron announced the quest. His were fingerless after the second knuckle and went to the middle of his arm. They were surprisingly light and skin tight, no visible seam on them. He looked at the two women who were questing with him, This should be fun. Do you two know about the Three Gorgon Sisters? He reached for a rib eating it as he waited to see if they'd studied the old stories.
