[1218 BCE, Corinth]
Tyndareus is a spartan king, or at least, was. His brother, Hippocoon usurped his throne and kicked him out of the region, making him an exiled man. He is now walking on the road to Corinthos with his small group of bodyguards, his wife Leda, and his two twin children, Castor and Pollux.
He had been bitter as of lately, he often lash out at his family because of his mental weakness. His own brother overthrew him, taking his birthright, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Not to mention, his wife was pregnant that was not his child, he was outrage by it, but he soon calm down when his wife told him that it was 'Zeus's child', he had no way of knowing if it is really Zeus's child, or she's just lying through her teeth.
For now, he'll keep a close eye on his wife.
"Father, Mother is tired, we should find some place to rest for a bit." said one of the twins.
"Hm? Very well." said Tyndareus. "There's a cave nearby, let's rest there."
They then changed their direction, and went off road. When he was near the cave that he was trying to get to, he saw three foreign men sitting casually below a tree. One has a big body, one has brown skin, and one looks cold.
He saw no reason to not sit down with them instead, so he, along with his men, approached them.
"Greetings travelers." he greeted the three foreign men. The big one just grunted, the cold man nodded, while the brown-skinned man smiled at him.
"Hello," said the brown-skinned man.
"May we sit with you?" questioned Tyndareus. "My wife is pregnant, so we need to rest often."
"Oh, sure, sure, come, sit down." said the brown-skinned man.
So they settled there for a little, they didn't unload their things, just a quick rest.
"What brings you to here travelers? You don't look like you're from Greece." questioned Tyndareus.
"Oh, we're hunters." answered the brown-skinned man. "We wanted to see different animals of the world, so we traveled."
"An interesting cause." Tyndareus nodded.
"What about you and your men? Migrating to another city?" questioned the man.
Tyndareus just smiled. "I have no choice unfortunately, me and my family have been exiled from our homeland."
"Oh, my condolences." said the man. "Why are you exiled if I may ask?"
"I… was overthrown." said Tyndareus, not knowing if it would be a good idea to tell the men about his story, but he needs someone to talk to right now. "You see, I was supposed to be king… until my brother usurped me."
"King?" Finally, the big man talked, making Tyndareus nervous. "King of what? The slums?" the man scoffed.
"King of Sparta." said Tyndareus, a bit offended by the big man's words. "I had hoped that if I go to Corinth, the king there would support me in getting me back my throne."
"Well, good luck with that." the big man said nonchalantly.
"I just wish there was some miracle, some gods will help me take back my birthright, I would pray to that god all my life and become devout." Tyndareus sighed.
The three men looked at one another, but only shrugged. Then, thunder began to boom in the sky, and rainwater began to drop.
"Damn rain!" cursed Tyndareus. "Pardon me travelers, but we should find shelter from the rain."
"You go first," said the brown-skinned man calmly. "We'll be here for a little while."
"Pardon me? But it's raining?" questioned Tyndareus.
"It's fine stranger, you go on." insisted the big man.
"Very well." sighed Tyndareus. "It was nice talking to you travelers."
"It was nice to talk to you too, stranger."
Tyndareus and his family then rushed to the cave that Tyndareus was talking about, leaving the three foreign men alone.
They ran to a rather empty place, where they saw a cave, but there was something fishy there, Tyndareus could sense it.
So he stood in the rain along with his family, and he looked to the guards.
"Guards, check the cave, I have a bad feeling about that cave." commanded Tyndareus.
The guards hurriedly went towards the cave in the middle of the rain, but before they could enter the cave, a giant snake suddenly was thrown out of the cave, startling them and Tyndareus's family alike. The throwing was so hard, that it had made a loud boom, and the rain around them was temporarily gone.
"By the gods! What is that!?" screamed Tyndareus. He hurriedly grabbed a sword and prepared to protect his family at all cost.
The dust slowly settled and Tyndareus saw the snake's body. Its head looked like a human, a woman to be specific, its bare breast was dangling from its 'chest area', but there were no legs, instead, it was a snake's body, which freaked Tyndareus.
"It's a Lamia!" screamed one of the guards who quickly formed a phalanx formation to protect the family, standing above the muddy terrain..
"I'll kill you Eternal!" shrieked the Lamia, slithering to the cave once again, ignoring the stunned humans and its dirty body.
But before it could enter the place, a huge golden statue suddenly slammed to the Lamia, pinning the monster down. The golden statue looked transparent, but Tyndareus could tell that the head looked like a bull.
"MEPHIA WILL JOIN ASTERION!" roared the statue, who made the humans more stunned and scared. Tyndareus can feel his bladder almost explode when he hears the statue's scream.
"Get off of me traitor!" screamed the Lamia desperately. Tyndareus then saw a man, wearing all black, get out of the cave with a bident in his hand. His aura was terrifying, when he saw him, he felt the urge to kneel in front of him.
"You're not supposed to exist Mephia," said the man in black. "I hope you understand."
"I will kill myself before joining the likes of you!" screeched the Lamia, but it was no use, the man in black had dug his bident straight down the Lamia's throat, making the monster choked in its own blood.
The man then stretched its hand, and slowly but surely, the monster withered, as if its own lifeforce was consumed by the man.
"Seduction? You have a horrible power, Mephia." said the man in black, talking to himself apparently, not caring about the rain whatsoever.
"Well, you're in my head now, so you best behave." continued the man in black, again, talking to himself.
"Who are you?!" the guards suddenly shouted, seemingly frightened, but they stood their ground.
The man in black looked at the guards and Tyndareus's family, he had a confused face. But then, suddenly Tyndareus rushed towards the man, making the guards panic, trying to stop him.
But it was no use, the man in black was preparing to defend himself, but much to his surprise, Tyndareus didn't attack him, instead, he knelt in front of him.
"O' Immortal One! Help me take back my kingdom!"
The man in black was confused at the scene, he looked around and saw the stunned faces of the humans that were standing in front of him.
"What?"
[Pluto's POV]
I was now sitting with the others, along with a couple of tagalongs, like the 'king' and his family. The other eternals are staring at me with confusion and anger, for good reason I guess.
"So let me get this straight, you want to help this man, a man that we just met and we barely know?" questioned Kingo, confused as hell.
"I know it sounds bad, but hear me out." I tried to convince them.
"We're listening." said Ikaris, glaring daggers at me.
I coughed to clear my throat, and spoke. "He begged me to do it." I said with a straight face.
Gil facepalmed as I said that. "Are you serious?"
"Well, no, but come on, look at the young man." I pointed at the man, who looked hopeless as hell. "Take pity on this man, and besides, if I succeeded, we have a kingdom for ourselves, well, for a few decades until he and his sons die anyway."
"Pluto, we can't directly interfere with human conflicts." Ikaris said coldly, his eyes seemed to glow for a second.
"For once, I agree with Ikaris Pluto, I mean, helping Athenians kill the deviant is one thing, dethroning a king is another." Gil continued.
"Hey wait a minute, who said on directly interfering?" I questioned with a smug smile.
"What? We're going to help him right? That means we need to directly interfere!" argued Kingo.
"Oh no, it's not like that." I shook my head. "I will help them by 'convincing' the Corinthian king to help these guys."
"How?" Ikaris questioned, still suspicious.
"I have my methods boys, don't worry about it, if I interfere too much, Arishem will definitely appear." I shake it off.
Ikaris narrowed his eyes as he usually does. He stood up and looked me in the eye. "I'll be watching you Pluto, if you cross the line, I will stop it."
"Can you even do it?" I questioned smugly, which made him snort silently. He sat down again, not saying a thing.
"So? Am I allowed to do this?" I questioned.
Gil sighed and stood up. "You do you man, I'm not going to risk it, It's scary when Ajak gets mad."
"I'm with Gil in this one, I don't want to follow you this time P, you'll risk it yourself." Kingo continued, also walking away.
"Fine, you wait for me here." I smiled. "It'll be quick."
Then, the others started to pack, preparing to continue the journey, or really, after this, we're going to Sparta to finish the last of them, after that, we're going home.
And so I walked to the humans, and patted the man. "Fine, I will help you."
Tyndareus or whatever his name is shrieked like a madman. "Oh thank you O' Immortal One! I will make sure to worship you and give you anything you want once I've become king!"
"Eh, don't worship me, it's a nuisance." I shook it off. "This is just for my boredom anyway, traveling with Ikaris is a bit of a pain."
"Oh truly , thank you!" he shrieked again.
I then looked at his wife who is pregnant. When I looked at her belly, I felt something. It feels strange, it's like a… thread was suddenly connected… huh… weird.
"What's your name?" I questioned the woman.
"Leda… O' Immortal one…" she seemed scared of me, like she doesn't like me staring at her…
Wait…
Leda?
Helen's mother?
"Say… have you ever laid with a swan before?" I questioned suspiciously.
"P-Pardon me?" she stuttered.
"You know… Zeus's many 'incarnations'?"
"O-Oh! Yes! This baby belongs to Zeus O' Immortal One!" she yelled, but she seemed to side eye, Tyndar- you know what I'm going to call him Ty from now on, yes, Ty, she seemed to be side eyeing Ty, which is weird…
Zeus isn't real right?
So that means Ty got cucked?
Ooph.
"Right… just be careful of Hera's wrath, I know both of them, Hera is a possessive wife, I would be scared for my life if I were you." I shrugged, which made her gulp.
"T-Truly? Y-you know them?" she stuttered.
"Oh yes, Hera is a rather cruel woman to those who stole her husband, who knows, today you're here, tomorrow, you'll be in the embrace of Poseidon deep under the sea because of her jealousy."
She gulped loudly once again, seemingly regretting everything, truly, this is gold.
"Okay, you're coming with me to Corinth." I said to Ty, who looked pale and happy at the same time.
"C-Corinth? But my kingdom is in Sparta O' Immortal one?" he questioned.
"I can't help you directly, so I'll provide you with an army instead."
"Oh, W-Well, I'm thankful either way."

[1218 BCE, Corinth]
We are now standing in front of the Corinthian king. Ty looked nervous, I was behind them. The plan was that he was the one who'll talk to him, and I'll do the 'convincing'.
Ty calmed his nerves down like a true king, and spoke with charisma. "I am the rightful king of Sparta, and I am here to ask your support to reclaim my throne."
The Corinthian king raised an eyebrow, amused. "And why should I do that? Why shouldn't we arrest you right now and send you to the Spartan king now as a sign of friendship?"
"Because he is a usurper! Not worthy of the throne!" he shouted. "If you help me, I will make sure our two kingdoms will benefit through our relationship!"
The King of Corinth narrowed his eyes and stood up from his throne. He walked down the stairs, but he suddenly stopped. He looked dazed, as if he was hypnotized.
Well, it's because of Mephia.
"I can't believe I'm used this way…" she whispered in my head.
"Well, your power is this, so I'll use it this way." I shrugged in my head.
That's right. A mini version of Mephia was slithering under the king's robe and onto his ear.
Once she's there, she uses her power to 'charm' the king, and whisper suggestions to him.
Honestly, I don't want to hear what she said, it's quite disgusting for a virgin like me… and I'm not in the mood right now, which means it's just cringy to hear.
Anyway, I saw the king walk back to his throne much to his subjects' confusion. I could see that his small dick is rising underneath those clothes, it's working hehehe, this is fun.
The Corinthian king then sat down. His face was blushing like crazy. "V-Very well, I-I will help you." he couldn't concentrate at all it seems.
"M-My King!" his subjects started to protests, but with a single shout, everyone shut up,
"Silence!" he said, still blushing. "It is my final decision, I will help the rightful king of Sparta using my entire army."
"T-Thank you, king of Corinth." Even Ty was surprised by this sudden development.
"D-Don't worry my friend, in the meantime, y-you are welcome to stay at our palace at any time."
—
"Thank you! O' Immortal One!" shouted Ty in front of me, he wanted to kiss my feet, but I kicked his face instead.
"I did my part now, it's up to you to take your throne back." I stay away from him. "Now, I must leave."
"L-Leave?" he questioned. "O' Immortal One, you're leaving so soon?"
"I have jobs to do." I said. "I will watch your steps in the next few years, young one. I will be around Sparta after this."
"Then you must come to our palace in Sparta after I take my throne O' Immortal One!"
"We'll be sure to stop by." I nodded. "Alas, it's time for me to go. Farewell." I walked away, but then I stopped, then turned to Leda once more. "Remember, be careful with Hera." I said to her seriously.
She nodded nervously, sweating bullets. Then I truly walked away from them this time, to the other Eternals to continue my journey once more.
