Rick went through Zeke's pantry grabbing a box of freeze dried mashed potatoes and two boxes of wild rice. Why does everyone eat better than me, he thought to himself. A shiver ran down his spine when he remembered his mother's cooking. Thank god he couldn't go home he thought, and laughed at himself.

A few minutes later Rick had fired up Zeke's stainless still flat surface stove and filled two pots boiling with water. I wonder if they keep any steaks in this place. Rick opened the door to the walk in freezer and stepped inside. The first thought that struck him was that he wasn't cold, he could tell the temprature of the air around him was cooler than it was outside, but he didn't feel cold. "Well this is interesting," he said to himself. "Now where are those steaks? Ah." His eyes lit up as they fell upon a large pack of frozen New York steaks. "Zeke, I love you man," Rick said as he walked out and found a pan to cook the steaks on.

Meilin's nose twitched, and she quickly followed Rick into the freezer. "OOOH!!!" she yelled, her eyes lighting up. "MEAT!" she grinned, looking around. Suddenly she flinched. "God this is weird. I hate meat." she said, tearing her gaze from the freezer and to the vetgetables she was cutting for the ramen.

Rick set out plates of perfectly grilled steak along with mashed potatoes, and wild rice. The smell of fresh cooking filled the kitchen and calmed the nervous feeling in Rick's stomach. He took a deep breath and sighed contentedly. "We should probably watch that news cast. Maybe we'll hear something important, at the very least we'll know if it's safe to call our families," he said while taking a seat in the den.

"Good evening, I'm Lisa Barters. Our top story for tonight is a recent break in at Technology Conglomerate Sotech International's main branch. We've recieved mixed reports from witnesses saying loud explosions could be heard within the building. Sotech's public relations specialist Advolto Ikol has stated that a break in occured at 8:47 this evening. Sotech securit specialists responded to alarms and a confrantation with the intruders insude."

Rick nodded to Zeke and took a bite of his steak. "This doesn't sound as bad as I thought it would," he said.

"The assailant has been identified by Sotech security-"

"OH SHIT!" Rick said dropping his fork onto his plate with a loud clatter. The great rock in his stomach was back in an instant.

"-as Rick Egret a former employee of Sotech his position was terminated early this morning. Police have released a photograph of Mr. Egret," the reporter said as a picture of Rick filled the screen. "Police say the assailant is potentially armed with a 9mm taken from a Sotech guard. He stands at 6'3, weighs between 220-230 pounds, has blond hair, and deep blue eyes. If you see the suspect please contact this number-"

Rick muted the T.V. and set the remote down with an angry scowl. "This isn't good. I'm pretty much screwed, I did break in after all, that much is true. And I can't go to the police saying I'm a reincarnated thunder god. Atleast the rest of you are clear. If we can figure out some way to hide your appearances you guys can go home."

Strife's mouth was dropped open the whole speech, his fork kept in his hand without grasping it. He then turned his attention to Rick as he was making his announcement. The moment he finished, he started to laugh. A wide grin spreaded accross his face.

"You think we would just 'abandon' you?? No way.."

"Right now it's about all you can do. I won't let you guy go down with me. This is bigger than all of us, and right now I'm a danger to everything," Rick said gently. He knew it wasn't going to be easy to get them to leave him, but it couldn't be helped. The police had definetly contacted his parents and aside the library there really wasn't a place from him to hide. Going on the run was his only chance of not getting caught, but he couldn't ask the others to go with him. They still had a chance at coming out of all this clean.

"You guys should head back home in the morning. Our parents know we went out with Meilin, they won't suspect a thing," he said in a commanding tone. "Zeke, do you have a back pack here, something I could carry a few days worth of food in?"


You're being too noble. Thor had a habit of being self-sacrificing. Regrettably it is that which cost him his life. Learn from his mistakes, but do not repeat them.

"What else is there for me to do? I can't just ruin their lives for my own sake," Rick said in frustration. "You told me to be responsible for them. This is part of that."


Rick looked at his friends and realized from the expressions of their faces that the Keeper had spoken aloud. "Tell me what to do. At least point the way," Rick said with forced calmness.

I told you before I cannot. But there is one that can.

"Who, Another spirit? Where do we find it?"

No, someone as alive as all of you. Though not gifted with your strength this person posesses a great power. Journey to Delphi in the ancient Olympian Empire. There you must find the Oracle of Delphi. She will be able to offer the guidance you seek, but be cautious. The council is much stronger in those lands.

"How will we know her?" Rick called out, but the voice was gone again. Rick sighed to himself quietly and felt the pit in his stomach grow a little more.

Meilin hit Rick in the back of the head. "Baka. You actually think we're gonna let YOU play the hero? Chikuso. We broke in too! He just thinks you're the threat."

She glanced and Fay and shrugged. "Who knows? I don't understand what I can and can't do at all."

He listened to the rantings of his friends and then the Keeper speak. He scratched his chin. "Well, she is the only one at Delphi. Remember, I don't think that many people lived arounder there.." He scratched his chin then blinked looking at Ryan.

"HEY! You're Apollo, you can tell where Delphi is! " With that, he got on his cell phone. "Yes, I want ... Ten Round Trip Tickets for Greece. First class, private jet. Get Stanford. Thank you. " He hung up and smiled.

First, Fay rolled her starry eyes at Rick before sending him her Look of Death.

"Ditto on what Meilin said. Stop being a hero. We like you to much to let you fly solo." she grinned, and watched in growing amazement as Zeke made his call.

"Your unfailing ability to pull expensive luxuries out of that silk-topped hat of yours gives me the perverse desire to laugh," she said bluntly, laughter lighting up her face. "If ever there was someone born with a silver spoon, it was you." shaking her head, she mulled over the prospect of meeting the Oracle at Delphi.

"I can't believe we're going to see the Oracle," she muttered, before adding brightly, "Well, it's a chance for you to meet up with an old girlfriend, huh Apollo?" she was still slightly shocked at what she was saying- it was surely Nyx's influence. She really was Faynyx now, as Zeke had put it.

"Well, I'm no expert Meilin, but from what I've read, Inari was a shape-shifter. Try it out."

He blinked and smiled. "Well, since you mention perverse... " He whispered something into her ear, things they could do, that would even make a nympho blush. With that, he walked towards the door. "The plane will be there waiting for us in fourty minutes. Come on. We are leaving. Grab some drinks or something, though there should be stuff on the jet. " He blinked at the thought a moment before he went outside and got into the car, warming it up.

"It seems foggier up here than ..." he blinked. Then, he yelled to them in the house. "GET OUT HERE NOW! IN THE CAR!"

Zeke's voice carried such urgency that Rick slammed through the front door and tore it off its hinges. He looked at Zeke in confusion. "What's wro-"


"AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

A tremor of fear ran down Rick's spine as the piercing wolf's howl cut the night air. Rick's knuckles tightened over Mjonir's handle until they turned white. "Everyone get out here now!" Rick shouted his voice thundering all around them. "Zeke, get us out of these woods as fast as possible."

The words had barely escaped Rick's mouth when the dark silhouette of one of the large wolves broke through the fog; it's poisonous yellow eyes flashed as it fell upon Rick.

Don't freeze, keep moving and don't let them get to the others, Keep moving, Rick shouted in his own mind. Anyone watching would never know the turmoil going through Rick's mind; muscles moved with inhuman speed and strenght bringing Mjonir up in a blow that sent the great wolf flying. But Rick didn't stop, grabbing Mjonir firmly in both hands he spun the great hammer round letting it fly as a second wolf leapt onto Zeke's car.

The wolf howled in pain when Mjonir shattered its rear leg. "Get in the car, all of y-" Rick was cut off mid-sentence the first wolf creature leapt onto his back claws tearing into the muscles of his shoulders.

Ears perked up to hear even the slightest of sounds, Fay started as the night-shattering howl trembled through the air, jarring her senses. She leapt up, running out to follow Zeke and Rick.

"Damnit! Shit shit shit, this isn't good," she muttered, stopping anxiously with her hand on the car door. "The Fenris wolves!"

Strife walked casually towards the car until Zeke started to scream, following a wolf's howl. He jumped back a little and clumsily ran into the wall. He grasped his head in pain as he quickly retaliated himself. Strife's eyes were still switching, as he noticed that the others were having great communication with their spirits.

"Hey!! How come my thingy only came out like once while you people can just talk to yours at anytime.."

I like how you refer me as a "thing"..

"WTF WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?!?!"

You know for Horus you're pretty clumsy..

"Well i wouldn't have ran into the wall if these eyes weren't switching all the time.."

You'll find out sooner or later..

"Oh wtf..uhh..he-hello?? Hellooo??"

Strife turned his head back and forth, searching for his 'spirit'. He squinted his eyes as he heard the wolf howl again. Immediatly, he stopped in his tracks and turned around, clutching his fists tightly. He moved his neck forward, his eyes cleeping at the wall, following the wolf's cry. At that moment, as if by instinct, his eyes spread wide open, as the left eye flashed a hazy bluish color while the other asserted a firey glowing light. The walls became transparent as the fog began to disapear. His vision became deeper as every second went by. There. Strife gazed upon the wolf like creature, as if he was there, standing next to it. A few seconds later, the colors started to invert, as the fog reappeared, and the wolf started to grow smaller and smaller. The walls were visible again, and Strife's eyes were back to normal. He kept staring at the wall, in amazement, although he saw nothing. Suddenly, his sight started to blink again, switching back and forth.

"Aaaaaahh!!!"

Knocking his head every two steps, Strife scurried towards Zeke's car. At that moment, his eyes were turned back at the sight of Rick and the others. His eyes widened again, as they stood firm in their inhuman state, glowing as bright as before. He ran towards the wolves as two sharp wings started to pierce through his jacket. They spreaded wide open as his mask appeared, and his speed was 10 times faster then before. A green transparent circle like orb circled around Strife, as he knocked the wolf off of Rick's shoulder. oooh.. He crouched next to Rick and lifted his mask down.

"Are you ok uhh.."

Of course he wasn't ok. He paused in the middle of his sentence and shook his head recklessly.

"Ne-nevermind..anyways..let's get you into the car.."

"Rick!" Fay shouted, hurrying forward. Without any clear thought, she held out her hands and began to chant another incantation, the words falling off her tongue like flames of power. Her eyes shone silver, not so much eyes but stars. Her palms tingled, energy building around them. With a war-cry hat rivaled Athena's, violet beams of light shot out from her fingertips, piercing the great wolf. It whimpered and jumped back. Some part of her mind was stunned, but that was all overpowered by the adrenaline of battle. She whipped around, hends held aloft, mouth forming around words of power that created a sheild between her and the sharp claws that slashed at her.

"We're leaving NOW!"

Rick groaned and pushed Stife into the care. "I'm ok," he said calmly even though the deep gouges in his back burned like hot oil. Gritting his teeth he concentrated on the prescence on the edge of his mind. Mjonir's power brushed his mind and he concentrated harder. A third Fenris erupted from the shadows jaws salivating and eyes burning with ravenous hunger. A surprised yap escaped the fenris' mouth as Mjonir flew through the air knocking the wolf from its path and returning to Rick's trembling hand. "Drive, Zeke!" Rick shouted as he tossed himself into the backseat.

"...You got it."

Zeke gave an evil, but panicked smile as he suddenly stepped on the gas, swearving around right there in the circle drive, smacking another Fenri away as he sped like a madman down the private drive and away from the mountain, out onto suburban streets.

"Er, forgot to say hold on." He shrugged as he kept driving, and with five minutes left to spare, they were at the private air strip.

He leapt out of the car as he looked back and then saw Stanford motioning them to get on from the cockpit. "Forget your stuff! I will buy you new stuff in Greece or phone someone to come get it or something. " He rushed up onto the private jet and buckled himself in, as he reached over to one of the minifridges and grabbed a soda, sitting back.

"Well... we are safe at the moment."

Strife trailed behind Zeke, looking back once in a while to see how everyone else was doing. He rushed over to the airplane, his eyes weren't blinking as much. He stood by the doorway, waiting for everyone else to go in, expecting another disaster to occur.

"Oh please tell me nothing will come.."

His eyes were still in its normal state, blinking every 20 seconds or so. He gripped his fists tight as he continued to stare at the sky, then thoroughly at the ground. He still couldn't believe what happened these past hours. Getting god like powers..guns shooting at us..hiding from the public society..oversized wolves..everything was hard to believe, especially that it all happened at around the same time.

Rick sat down heavily in the back of Zeke's jet. The car ride had been hectic enough, for a few minutes he thought they wolves would catch them, but Zeke's driving got them through it. He wondered vaguely how long it would take to get to Greece. Black spots flashed in his field of vision making it hard to concentrate. The cuts on his back felt raw and while the bleeding was slower it hadn't quite stopped. I thought it would be harder to injure me.

Your body is still adapting to its power. It will take time before you can sustain a blow from a beast bred from Fenris.

~Fenris? He killed Odin, I almost remember it. He can breed?~

The knowledge of humanity, the dark magic of the council, and the ferocity of Fenris have been combined into an entire species of abominations. But there are creatures much more terrible along the path you walk. Hold on Thunder Lord, your friends will get you through this alive. You will all be stronger for it.

~Get me through what?~ he though questioningly, but understanding was already dawning on Rick. His back felt numb and he realized that his body wasn't shaking anymore. "..." he opened his mouth to speak but could not find the strenght. Seconds later Rick slumped in his chair unconcious from blood loss.

Fay leapt up from her chair as Rick passed out. Walking quickly over, she grimaced to see the gashes on his back, bleeding sluggishly. Supporting him with one arm, she placed her other hand on his wounds. Words filled her mouth again, and she began chanting in a voice that was not entirely her own. Soon, a white light burst from unerneath her palm and stretched out over the cuts, closing them. She pulled her hand away, numbly seeing it stained with blood.

"We can't we get ichor?" she muttered, grabbing some tissues and wiping it off. Fay then laid Rick down across the seats, knowing he needed rest.
