So we were sent to Rome because our Dodekatheon allies,
presumably Ares and Artemis, were waiting for us there. Convenient I suppose, I’m hoping for a chance
to speak to Artemis. Though I suppose
that, to be entirely accurately, we were sent to the Vatican. It’s Elohim territory, apparently, and the
Psedjet have long-standing friendly relations with them. There’s also a “beacon” of sorts there
created by Kothar that apparently makes it easy to send people to via
Psychopomp.
Kothar was one of two of the Elohim present when we arrived,
and seemed mainly interested in finding out why the beacon hadn’t brought Ken
there with the rest of us (more on that later).
Though he also made a pass at Lexi, who didn’t seem interested. The other was Mot, who despite his rather
ominous reputation seemed rather pleasant.
Though Claire seemed to get dangerously close to getting under his skin
when she got a bit bitchy with him, something she’s been doing all too often
lately upon meeting new divinities.
Thankfully he just rebuked her, had her promise not to try to entangle the
Vatican in the upcoming conflict, and we were on our way.
Ken was nearby, Lexi asked the music to figure out where she
was, and said Hera had diverted her in order to ask about her intentions. Whether she wanted to restore the pantheon to
its former glory or just wanted to mess with it. She said she was the one singled out
specifically because of family history, but I’m sure there’s a bit more to it
than that. After all, if Hera was just
concerned about intentions towards Olympus Claire would’ve definitely been the
one to ask. She’s the one that really
got this whole mess going, after all.
Rufus was back to, in a way, now a creature of shadow and
moonlight instead of flesh and blood.
And he seemed distinctly less friendly as well. There’s no doubt that his ordeal in Duat has
changed him in more ways than one…the question is, to what extent?
