Coming back to life was... Different. Definitely not what it was like when he crossed the veil before. Ares had gifted him to Persephone, a statue set outside her palace in Elysium, and there he’d sat for weeks, certain that would be his fate. But then, he was back, and the world was going on as if nothing had ever happened. Time had returned to the moment before the veil fall, and all the magic that the rifts had performed was suddenly undone. It was kind of surreal, but, Nik was content to return to life if that was what the Gods had willed. Classes resumed, and so did his study group, he sat from Nadia now, nervous to meet her gaze whereas before he’d actively sought it out. When group ended, he approached her, maybe because he was a glutton for punishment, but because he told himself that he wanted to look after her. She’d looked at him... The way that she had looked at him, so at least now he knew that he could never reveal to her what he was. Some people simply couldn’t handle learning of the supernatural world. “Do you have class now?” Nik asked, “I could walk you.”

Learning how to use a phone had been remarkably easy once he’d gotten the hang of it, and he realized very quickly that what he’d thought had been polite refusal, was probably misinterpreted into a rude misunderstanding. Nikandros sat in the cafe, patiently waiting, he remembered the woman’s drink order, the soft oatmeal cookie that she had placed in front of her, and the sphinx had an order that mirrored her own. He was presently in the process of going through the best-seller’s list, though why this Twilight saga had made it to the top for as long as he had, the sphinx could only guess. The author was blatantly unskilled, and yet, Nik had yet to put it down. “Hey,” Nikandros greeted as the woman walked through the door of the cafe, “I got your order already -uh, if that’s alright.”

“Do you think the universe wanted to be created, or did it just sort of happen against its will?” Nik asked, his tone was kind of playful because this was the closest he ever got to flirting. They were supposed to go with Ava this weekend to Nadia’s cottage by the water and while he was kind of nervous, he was also very excited. Finals were next week and he’d read countless times about how the brain needed breaks if it was going to absorb any real information. “Pretend for a second that Uranos, Gaia, and Oceanus had nothing to do with it.”

Modern Fairytale ~  Ava Vidalis, Nadia Barnes, and Nikandros Nothos

“I was raised upon an altar of love,  birthed before a Goddess, and reared in Aphrodite’s image. But love is not a statue, an altar, nor a page torn from a well-worn book. It’s not written in scriptures, nor sung in hymns.  It’s this: You, me, us.”

Ava Mokri Vidalis & Nikandros Nothos & Nadia Barnes

She was supposed to be the Mokri’s family newest member, Ava, 

These four lonely walls have changed the way I feel The way I feel I'm standing still And nothing else matters now, you're not here So where are you? I've been callin' you I'm missin' you

The father of Nikandros could have been any of the men wealthy enough to afford the company of a hetaerae

Where else can I go? Where else can I go? Chasin' you, chasin' you Memories turn to dust Please don't bury us, I got you I got you

Say it over and over again, I will not make myself small.

I've outrun the fears that chased They're standin' still I'm runnin' still I'm runnin' still And every voice that cried inside my head, forever drives Forever drives I've killed the lights, oh

I'm spending more than I earn Drink all the time to forget I'm not her 'Cause I go to parties sometimes And I'll kiss a boy and pretend for the night 'Cause I don't know much about me I'm still ashamed of who I used to be So I try way too hard, but I still miss the mark to fit in

Spinning that stone uphill again Like atonement for a bygone sin Under the weight of it, my bones Cracking like a dry branch in a westward wind But Zeus and his pantheon of kin Take the first nine out of every ten Minas, like lightning changing hands It all returns back to his pockets, in the end
