The World of Night

[The-Shadow-One]

Zeus was not amused by this and lightening nearly struck Steven.

[Musicman247]

"Pfft! King of the gods and he misses," Steven said.

[Kerr]

"We probably shouldn't [&@%!] off Zeus." said Hastur.

[The-Shadow-One]

Nyx laughed. "He only missed when he wishes to." She stated. Another rumble was heard then pain shot though Steven.

[Kerr]

Hastur sat down next to Steven and cast a healing aura.

[Musicman247]

Spoiler:

I'm assuming it was lightning since you didn't really spell it out.

Steven was thrown to the ground several feet away, shaking all over. His hair was singed at the tips and the toes of his shoes were blown out from the lightning passing through his body.

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

It was damn better than saying lightening shot though.

Nyx laughed. Helion stepped forward, panicked. Hecate vanished in a soft shimmer of crackling fire. Salven and Ashi stepped backwards. Steven felt better being around Hastur.

[Kerr]

"Are you okay Steven?" said Hastur.

[Musicman247]

"Hrrn!" said Steven as the pain began to lessen. He reached out a trembling hand and took hold of Hastur's arm with it. "Rem- remind...me...n-never t-t-t-to do ....that ..ag-aga-again," he said through his body's convulsions.

[The-Shadow-One]

The convulsions died off, the raincloud and black clouds moved away, like someone waved them away.

[Kerr]

"Steven? Please be okay." said Hastur.

[Musicman247]

"Oooh," said Steven, sitting up. "Why couldn't I have that power?"

[Kerr]

"Cause Zeus is a dic..." said Hastur but she paused not wanting to end up like Steven. "Great guy." she added helping him up. "I still need to get you your present."

[Musicman247]

Steven rose to his feet and wiggled his toes. "Nice and breezy," he said. He looked at Hastur and said, "You know, I completely forgot about that. We need to find your present, too."

[The-Shadow-One]

Nyx sighed. "Sorry about that." She stated softly. "Zeus is touchy about people insulting him. The man was a cheater. Poor Hera."

[Musicman247]

"He didn't give me that aspect of himself, too, did he?" Steven asked, grabbing Hastur's hand.

[The-Shadow-One]

Nyx laughed. "Don't worry, we pass blessings, we don't pass on things like that."

[Musicman247]

"Oh, good," said Steven. He looked at Hastur, "I can make you wet and I won't cheat on you. Sounds okay to me."

He looked at Nyx. "What should we do now? Is there anyplace safe we can go?"

[The-Shadow-One]

Nyx shrugged. "I'm sorry, I cannot say." She sighed.

[Musicman247]

"That's okay. I guess we'll manage," Steven said, squeezing Hastur's hand.

[Kerr]

"We should probably sleep now. We can go to the closest town in the morning and try to get a bus to Dublin." said Hastur.

[The-Shadow-One]

Nyx smiled. "While you sleep, the blessings upon others will continue."

[Musicman247]

"You're so smart," said Steven. He started heading to the sub-bus.

[Kerr]

Hastur got back on the sub-bus thing.

[Gandalf]

Vulpar looked at the woman with his eagle's eyes. "I choose Ares, the god of war, for my blessing." He stated.
