1: Midas (Before golden touch)
Lityerses was with Zoe in the palace, sneaking around as usual. Sure, they got in trouble before but who cares about a little punishment.
“Ok Zoe, I think I found a secret passage. Wanna see where it leads?”
“Yeah!”
All castles have secrets. Why is this one any different? Where did it lead? This is their palace, they couldn't get in trouble for sneaking around! So, they enter the tunnel.
They crawl…
And crawl…
And crawl some more…
Till finally the fall though the hole at the end of the tunnel.
Right into the room of the sleeping king Midas…
Shit. He's awake.
“Oi! You brats! Didn't I say never to enter my room?”
Lityerses bows, not wanting to get in any more trouble. “Yes Father, sorry Father, It's my fault, I just got curious and-”
SLAP
Lityerses recoils from the slap and Zoe starts to cry. Well, at least it wasn't her who was hurt.
“Shut up your sister. Never come here again.”
“Yes Father.”
Lityerses carries Zoe away.
2: Midas (With golden touch)
Gold. Everything was gold.
The palace, the food, the decorations, everything. Even Zoe.
‘Oh gods, why her, take me instead just please spare my sister. She never did anything wrong, please she doesn't deserve this.’
Midas turned everything to gold.
“Um- Father?” Lityerses approached him cautiously. “Maybe don't turn everything to gold? I know it's possible but we don't really know if it's reversible and-”
A cold, numb sensation spread though his body. Midas grabbed his arm. And he was gold like everything else around.
3: Commodus
A bucket of water was thrown at Lit. He felt the gold slowly recede. It wasn't the first time this happened. He just hoped not too much time had passed since he was turned into gold. Like that time Father kept him as go for 2 months because he was too lazy to drag him to the river. Maybe those demigods- what were their names? Oh yeah, Jason, Leo and Piper. Maybe they were still around. He really wanted to chop off their heads. He looked up and saw a stranger.
“Who are you?”
The man chuckled. “Well my dear reaper of men, I am Commodus, your new leader!”
Lit was confused. “What happened to Gaea?”
“Oh she was defeated! Now the Triumvirate are gonna control the world!”
“The tri- what now?”
“Triumvirate. It's a group of Roman emperors. Me, the amazing Commodus and two non important ones.”
“Rome. One of the demigods- Jason I think- mentioned it. I want his head.”
The man- Commodus chuckles again. Wow that's a horrible sound. “Good! You can get tons of heads if you work under me! Just do whatever I say!” He held out his hand for a handshake.
Lit took his hand and shook it. “Fine.” He could swear the look in Commodus’ eyes was… lustful.
4: Commodus again. (Warning! Contains implied rape! If you are uncomfortable with that, skip to the +1!)
Lit woke up in his room. His legs hurt. His ass was sore. The usual when dealing with a mad Commodus. He sighed and went along with his duties for the day.
After a few hours of work, he went to make his report to Commodus. Of course, as he approached the room, he heard yelling. Always yelling. He knocks on the door anyway.
“Lord Commodus? I am here to make my report.”
“Enter Lityerses! Hopefully you are more competent then these idiots! Kill them when you enter please!”
He enters the room, using his sword to swiftly kill those who Commodus told him to before placing some papers on the desk.
“Lord Commodus, we have yet to find the Waystation. Though we managed to capture-”
“Oh shut up with the report, get over here.”
Lit sighed and walked over. Hoping to get it over with quickly as Commodus pulled him into his lap.
“You're kinda cute you know that? Did I ever tell you that?”
“Yes you did Lord Commodus, many times.”
Commodus pulled off his shirt and whispered into Lit’s ear.
“I'm gonna make you scream.”
+1: Apollo
Lit was sword training at the Waystation as usual, though he was a bit… unbalanced and accidentally cut himself. Now, he sat on a bed in the infirmary as he got his wound patches up by the god Apollo who visits often after his trials.
“Apollo, must you do this? I was barely injured, care is unnecessary.”
Said God frowned. “I don't care! I don't like to see you hurt!
Oh he could feel the butterflies start to flutter in his stomach. He even blushed slightly. How embarrassing. A crush. On a god. Was he so stupid? He's heard about this God's lovers in the past and how they ended!
“A-Apollo please… I'm fine…”
He huffed. “You're fine when I say you're fine! Now hold still!”
They say for what felt like hours, though it was likely only minutes, as Apollo patched up Lit’s hand. When he was done, he kisses it and Lit could feel his heartbeat rise as the pain faded.
“Wha-”
“A kiss! To make sure it heals!” He could've sworn the god was blushing but that's impossible. Apollo would never like him back.
Right..?
