Bab 75: Chapter 64: Gupta and Preparation of Marriage, 400 CE

A/N: right, I've updated the apostle list on aux and their looks in the characters looks, if you want, just check it out.

Also, I know there's a lot of Indians here… please don't kill me if I said something wrong here… I'm not Indian, I researched a bit but who knows if I got something wrong.

[Pluto's POV]

Travelling… the most boring part of the journey, me and the others were travelling to India, where we would stay there for a couple of years. As humanity grew smarter, we cannot use the Domo freely anymore, as the chances of getting discovered were getting higher and higher as humans developed.

We are travelling with horses, Ajak and Kingo were in front, because Ajak said that they were similar in terms of looks by the locals. I also heard some talks about Ikaris and Sersi getting 'married' here, they've been talking to Ajak about it, and I saw Thena sneaking a couple of glances at me… this is not good…

I approached Sprite, who was looking at Sersi and Ikaris in front rather jealously. She was clenching the saddle quite hard, and she tried so hard not to scowl.

"You okay Sprite?" I questioned.

She looked at me, and scoffed. "None of your business dude."

I just chuckled, she's really moody today. "Are you jealous, Sprite? Your idol is getting married?"

Sprite side eyed me, and spoke. "You got a problem with that?"

I looked at Sprite with pity, and sighed. "You need to move on Sprite. It's not going to happen."

Sprite looked at me with rage, but her gaze softened. She looked at her horses' head, and she waved her hand, and I could feel the sound around us dampened.

"Why did Arishem make me this way?" questioned Sprite, still looking at Sersi and Ikaris in front. "I never age, people thought that I was a kid, and once they realise I never grow up, they freak out."

Honestly, I pity her, trapped in the body of a little girl all this time, it must be hell for her. "Sprite… Arishem made you like this for a reason."

"Then what was the reason then?"

"Well, honestly I don't know." I answered, making Sprite snort. "But, I got a theory that Arishem makes you this way because children tend to be trusted. When humans encounter you alone in the city, what is most of their reaction?"

"Well, if they're nice, they'll offer me food, offer me shelter…" answered Sprite. "If they're not, they'll try to r*pe me…"

"Okayy…" I coughed. "That turned dark. Well, the point is, because you're a kid, humans trust you more, because in their eyes you're just an innocent little kid. You will be offered help by nice people, and because of that, you'll be able to do your job efficiently."

"Efficiently huh?" murmured Sprite. "In the end, it's about efficiency, not my feelings."

"Well, maybe someday you'll find someone." I comforted her. "Someday… when you grow up of course."

"Could I?" questioned Sprite. Her head then snapped to me, looking at me with hopeful eyes. "Could you—"

I shook my head quickly. "Sorry Sprite, I can't."

She quickly turned disappointed, she cancelled the illusion barrier around us, and just quickened her pace, leaving me alone.

Maybe someday I'll help her.

As we arrived at a building that looks like a wall, we were told to continue our journey on top of the wall. Going to the capital using the wall was much faster, said the guards, and of course we followed their lead.

Once we were on top of the wall, we continued our journey, but we were near the capital. On the road, we saw their architecture. It's a breath of fresh air after living millennials in Greece and around it. It was unique and strange at the same time.

A couple of hours of refreshing rides on the walls, we finally arrived at the city of Pataliputra. It was a magnificent sight. Again, a breath of fresh air from Greek architecture.

"It's quite beautiful." suddenly Thena said beside me.

"Yeah, it is." I nodded in agreement.

"Ikaris and Sersi chose the perfect place to marry." she continued, smiling at me widely.

But that smile… something makes me shiver between that smile.

"Yeah… lucky for them…" I answered nervously.

She just hummed majestically like she usually does, and fastened her pace, riding away from me…

"Did I do something wrong?" I questioned myself.

As we settled in the capital and Ajak was arranging Ikaris and Sersi's marriage, we had a bit of a break in that city. We were free to do what we liked for a time, and the others who weren't usually free were quite happy with it.

Meanwhile, I was just sitting on the walls, seeing people come and go doing their own business. I quite like it, it's a peaceful thing to see, away from the blood of the battlefield, blood of the deviants or humans alike.

Suddenly, I sensed someone walking towards me, I turned, and saw Sersi, looking quite happy with herself.

"Hello Sersi." I smiled.

"Pluto." She greeted me. She sat beside me, joining my watch.

"It's a peaceful thing to do." I commented. "Watching people walk around, doing their own business… I'm quite tired of seeing deviant blood."

Sersi nodded. "It's quite nice to see you pick up some great hobbies like this."

I scoffed. "Hey, I do sculpting, you should see Helen's statue in my house back in Sparta, It's quite great."

Sersi chuckled. "I would like to see your art someday. Maybe you'll do painting too, or act like Kingo."

I shrugged. "Eh, I don't know… I could do poems though, Greeks love my poems."

"Oh you mean that poem about death?"

"You've read it?" I questioned.

"Yeah, quite good, demented, but good." said Sersi casually.

"Well, I'm glad you liked it." I chuckled.

We then sat in comfortable silence for a while. The winds were blowing towards us, it was a warm wind, and it was nice as the weather was quite hot right now.

"So…" I continued the conversation. "You'll be married to Ikaris in a couple of days…"

"Yeah…" she chuckled nervously. "It's quite strange… marrying him."

"Why is it strange?"

"It's just… we've been together for so long… yet why now?"

"So you think it's overdue?"

She hummed. "Yes. but, can't complain are we?"

"Well, I'm happy for you." I smiled at her, patting her shoulder. "I will task you with controlling Ikaris from now on."

She laughed at my words. "He's only like that to you."

I also laughed. "Fair enough." I looked at her, and massaged her shoulder. "Could I ask something from you?"

"Sure, anything." she smiled.

"Take care of him for me." I said. "Don't give up on him… I know me and him don't often see eye to eye, but at the end of the day, we're still brothers. Don't make him take the wrong path."

She nodded softly. "Don't worry. I'll take care of him."

I smiled widely at her. "Good."

"Thank you Pluto." added Sersi. "You still care about him, and I thank you for that."

"We're family Sersi." I answered. "It's only natural."


Bab 76: Chapter 65: Green Silk, 400 CE

As I was walking through the corridor of the palace, I encountered an open area that was filled with green silk. The area was wide, wide enough to do anything on it. The green silk waved as wind flew through the open area, and from that chance, I saw Thena in the middle of the open field, sparring with a local soldier that was using a peculiar shield.

"Cap's shield?" I questioned myself. It's definitely not Cap's shield, but the design is awfully similar…

I walked to them, I saw the fear of that Soldier as Thena conjured her weapon. When she attacked the soldier, the green silk waved, following Thena's rhythm. The soldier was desperately trying to block and dodge, so far, he's successful, but who knows how long he will last…

"I think that's enough Thena, look at the poor guy." I announced, making Thena stop as her spear was about to hit the soldier's shield.

She looked at me, and deconjured her spear. "You're interrupting me." she hummed as she walked back to her position.

"What's with you today?" I raised my eyebrows. "Why are you hostile to me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." she said, crossing his arms and tapping her foot.

I sighed. I looked at the man and pointed at the shield. "Can I borrow it?"

The soldier nodded vigorously and gave the shield to me, he then ran away from us…

"Look at the poor bloke, he's scared of you." I commented. I examined the shield, it's really like Cap's shield… "Cool shield right?"

Thena just stared at me with a deadpan expression, and said. "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here?" I questioned back. "Come on Thena, you've been cold to me ever since we've arrived. Talk to me."

Thena stared at me intently for a while before saying, "You know why."

I sighed and looked at the ground below me and tapped my foot. "What? You want to marry here as well? Along with Ikaris and Sersi?"

"Yes." she nodded as she walked away, sitting on the corner.

I followed her, and I sat beside her. "Do you really want to? It's just a bit cheap you know… Ikaris and Sersi are marrying here… I just wanted it to be more special, where the whole day is about us, and us only."

Thena raised her eyebrow. "So you want to marry in a different place?" she questioned.

"I mean– it's up to you honestly, that's just my opinion." I answered.

Thena looked to the ground below, wondering about the idea. "I get your thoughts… But… okay, let's marry somewhere else."

"You're okay with it?" I questioned again. "If you don't want to, we could just do it here, just another day."

Thena shook her head. "No, you're right, let's marry somewhere else. Maybe in the next place we visit?"

I smiled, grabbed her hand, and squeezed it tightly. "Sure. I'll talk to Ajak later."

She smiled widely, she cupped my cheek, and gave me a quick peck in the lips. "Okay."

She stood up, and walked away from me. "I've got to go, I need to help the others."

"Sure. I'll see you later."

I walked to the place where we were staying, where I saw Phastos sitting on the dining table, focusing on some papers in front of him. He looked focused, not breaking his concentration at all.

I sighed. I walked up to him, and sat in front of him. "Phastos, did you stay here all day?"

"I need to check my designs," he said. "Make sure that there is no fault."

I shook my head, and raised my feet to the table, making Phastos annoyed. "You know, I never know, I remember that Ajak asked you to go somewhere when I was dealing with the apes in Africa, where did you go?"

"I went to the east." he said, still focusing on calculating and shit.

"What did you do there?"

"Kill some deviants," he said. "Although I met this guy that liked alchemy, and he was experimenting on things…"

I hummed. "Then?"

"I taught him this substance. It's a black powder. It combust when lit which is quite handy for a lot of things. He was quite satisfied with himself, and he used it for making things that he called fireworks. It explodes in the air, making these unique patterns… the kids there loved it."

Ohhh shit… "Phastos… you don't think that those black powder won't be used as anything else… right?"

"What kind of things?" he questioned again, still focusing.

"For example… a weapon?"

He froze for a bit, I saw his thinking face, but then he continued to work. "Even if they did that, it's a part of the evolutionary process, in fact, it's a good thing, if they really made it a weapon, they could think outside the box, and they could discover more things because of that, also, I can't do anything about it."

I just sighed, and stood up. "Well, you should learn to communicate with the other Phastos, get a life. Sersi and Ikaris are about to get married, you should congratulate them."

"I will, later."

I shook my head, and left the place, leaving Phastos alone.
