Reborn As Hades In Olympus

He gasped as I started to approach him, I was done here as it was. I swear I don't know what Pine was finding behind his back but it was bugging me, I walked past him and found his hand empty. "Oh, I get it now." I remarked slightly as I turned and headed towards the woman that had kept silent all the while with her back to the wall, she barely flinched as I stood before her all she did was glare.

She was shorter than I was so the glare didn't seem as threatening. "I have had enough of your mind games miss or should I say Talos." I kind of expected for her to flinch even by a little but she didn't bat an eye. Now that's problematic.

"You knew?" Was her only response, calm and concise, it made it almost impossible to tell what she was really thinking.

But I knew she was surprised that knew who she was-- thanks to my one good eye. Back at the hotel I analyzed them.

PINE LARS: LESSER GOD

LIKABILITY TO HADES- 0

ROLE TO HADES- CHIEF INVESTIGATOR AT THE BAI CORPS

CONFLICT- SUSPECTS YOU FOR THE MURDER OF HADES

LIKES & PREFERENCES- PUPPIES, COFFEE, OVERWORKING, JUSTICE

DISLIKES- LAZINESS, SNAKES, RENT

POSSIBLE ACTION: AVOID CHARACTER.

After throwing almost all of my domination points into my good eye I could see more of characters information, my prediction was more accurate. If I had this at the party perhaps I could have saved Hermes.

When I analyzed the woman I half expected her to be some assistant or trainer, what a surprise when I saw this:

TALOS: ???

LIKABILITY TO HADES- ???

ROLE TO HADES- ???

CONFLICT- ???

LIKES & PREFERENCES- ???

DISLIKES- ???

POSSIBLE ACTION: AVOID CHARACTER (WARNING)

It had me baffled, good thing I upgraded the eye. I went back into my room and researched online on this Talos person since I had no knowledge of such a character in Greek mythology. There were a few articles of sorts which all said almost the same thing and from that I was able to ascertain a number of things:

1. "TALOS" WAS AN UNKNOWN KNOWN AS WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE AND CRIMINAL PROFILER.

2. THE SEX, NAME AND AGE OF TALOS WAS UNKNOWN.

3. SOME BELIEVED "TALOS" TO BE A SUPER DETECTIVE.

4. "TALOS" ONLY EVER CHOSE CASES AND NEVER ACCEPTED THEM. CASES DEEMED BIZZARE OR UNSOLVABLE AND ALWAYS SOLVED THEM.

5. "TALOS" WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND.

So I came to the conclusion that this "super detective" was drawn to this case a little too early. "Just what piques your interest detective? The fact that a god died or the fact that you get to put me or one of the twelve in jail? I have a gut feeling that most of your buddies words and actions were all orchestrated by you."

Talos was simple mute for a few seconds before she spoke again. "Your eyes are bold, your breath is a bit shaky, your hands quite coordinated. A little too coordinated in my opinion. You are either good at hiding your true intentions or you are just that good at it."

Oh right, try to mess my head with whatever mumbo jumbo you've got. I won't crack, but for the eye to warn me about her she must be dangerous.

"I will be on my way detective, I know the leads may all point to me but I'll find the bastard who did this and pop him wide open like a can of soda." I said to her face as I turned to leave.

"How rather convenient, a tendency for misanthropy. He could be trying to prove his innocence by rashly overreacting or perhaps warning us that we have to way to apprehend him, that is if he is guilty of the crime." I heard her say to herself, did she not see me standing there.

I walked calmly to the door and shoved Pine out of the way as he tried to stop me. Like what was he thinking by the way? That he could stop the god of the underworld from leaving? And just who the hell was this "TALOS"? I reached for the door and turned the knob when I saw:

THE CHARACTER "TALOS" HAS SET HER SIGHTS ON YOU.

THE CHARACTER "TALOS" SEES YOU AS ITS PREY.

"Till this investigation is closes all off world travel from Olympus is now banned." She added.

Yeah, she is annoying. Like some real piece of work out of a detective novel. As I left and slammed the door behind me I wondered if I should have read more of detective stories than I did of Greek mythology. I navigated my way out of the Bai Corps headquarters, it was very much like a police station— really brings back old memories.

Only that time I was at the wrong side of the bar, wasn't a good memory also wasn't bad either-- it was hell.

What had I learned so far aside that there is now some psychotic b**ch after my head just for the fun of it.

1. I WAS THE PRIME SUSPECT OF THE INVESTIGATION.

2. I WAS BEING FRAMED, SO THE PERSON MUST HAVE BEEN A MASTERMIND OR THEY HAVE A SORT OF COLONY TO PLAN THIS OUT.

3. WHAT IS BLACK AMBER? IF IT IS ONLY ENCLUSIVE TO THE UNDERWORLD THEN— IS HECATE INVOLVED, CONSIDERING SHE IS STILL ABSENT.

4. WITH ME TRAPPED ON OLYMPUS I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THOSE AFTER MY HEAD ARE STILL HERE.

5. MY FIRST LEAD IS FINDING OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO HERMES, TO DO THAT I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME AND USE MY BLOODY EYE ON EVERY GODDAMN THING THERE.

6. "TALOS" IS A THREAT, NOT SURE HOW MUCH BUT THE EYE IS AFTAID OF HER.

I stepped out of the building and over to my car after running down everything I had gone through one more time, making sure to not miss a thi— Oh Right!! I came in the detective's car so I don't know if I am going to get a free ride back. Guess I'll just walk back then.

I started down the side walk in the beautiful afternoon sun, now that I thought of it— there was no sun in the underworld so there was no day, only night meanwhile here had both. How envious I was....

BRRRRZZ!

Huh!? My phone? I dug my hand into my pocket and took it out, just who the hell would be calling my line?:

INCOMING CALL

UNKNOWN NUMBER

ACCEPT / REJECT

I had a bad feeling about this in the pit of my stomach, but I picked the call regardless. I placed it to my ear and said nothing, only continuing my carefree walk down the path before me.

INCOMING CALL

UNKNOWN NUMBER

01:07

REJECT

Still static huh? Now I was begging to feel like a fool, did whoever was on the other end think this was a game or something. I was enraged, "Hey! Listen whoever you are if you don't--"

"HI! IT'S ME—!"

My chest felt funny from the familiarity with the voice. "HER— MES?"
