Odin sat down and pushed his huge wooden chair back and so did the rest of the Norse pantheon sitting there. Dionysus had turned towards Drake raising his cane and pointing it at him. The room would fall dimmer as the flames began to go out and sources of light deminished. A hush would fall over the usually rowdy room as the flames fell to but embers and Dionysus began glowing slightly. A deadly serious look on his face as Drake would find he could no longer speak.
"You will remain silent and know your place when speaking to a lady."
Ethereal chains would appear on Drake;s neck, wrists, and ankles as they attached to the ground and would drag him to his knee's. Drake would find if he wished to speak or say anything negative he would only be able to talk negatively about himself. Dionysus would put the base of his cane to Drake's chin and lift it up.
"Apologize, child."
Though the glow and lighting would return to the room and people began going about their business once more, Dion's face would lighten as well returning to it's usual sly grin at hearing her agree to a date.
"Yay~!"
Odin and the other Gods would all give Avice a respectful response of a hope for her victory in battle.

"Apologize for what? Teasing my friend in a joking manner to build camaraderie and friendship?"
He would ask with a look that suggested Dion was the asshole, not Drake.

"Oi oi, pay 'im no mind." she wanted to soothes the situation and reached forward with her hands hoping someone would guide her back." she couldn't quite see the severity but the static and intensity from their voices was felt down in her bones. "We'd be best get movin' all this old and familiarity I can 'ear my accent coming back."

Dion would look down at Drake for a moment.
"Oh, so you recognize Avice as an equal? A friend? Didn't sound like it. Though I forget your kind lack manners. My apologies for not recognizing teasing."
Dionysus would tap the chains and they would shatter. Before he would lead Avice out and back to the jeep.

"I wouldn't say equal..."
Drake mumbled.
"Could probably kick her ass but whatever."
He would say to himself as they walked back to the jeep.

"No, hardly thinks of me as an equal... what was the rating you put me about, 4/10? I hardly know what I look like right now but I can't imagine it be any better than then. More so he likely thinks of himself on a much higher scale. Of course, I honestly think of him as not but a boy... robbed of his childhood like I was and has yet to learn, stifled, unable to grow. Aye, the feeling is mutual between us, and yet he has helped me up to this point... he wasn't obligated to do so. Equal or not he calls me one of his own. So I guess that means he'll be looking out for me even so." Of that, she was happy about. She owes Drake and would grin and hint at it but not say it. His ego might pop if she did.

"Very well..."
Dionysus would drop the subject for now. Helping Avice into the vehicle he would wait for Drake to get in before they would be driving straight towards the giant mountain in the middle of Gods territory. Even Avice would feel the energy coming off the top of it.
"Mount Olympus... You can call it a stage, but it holds it's own secrets. At the top usually rests the higher tier of our government, the leaders of our people. Right now and for the last twenty-six years the Greek have controlled it's power. We however, will not be going up the mountain."
Dion would drive around the mountain to a cave opening. Dark robed individuals walked about their day, some reading books, others selling black metal trinkets that no one even cared to look at.
"We will be climbing down to the domain of the Death Gods. They hold their own council and have a different set of rules even the most powerful of Gods follows when down here."
Dionysus would look at Drake.
"That means if you wish to live to see another day, do not speak under your breath like with the Nordes. When we come across Hypnos, do not even think in a disrespectful manner. He will know, and my protections do not extend past offending them."
Dionysus would park and get out of the vehicle to help Avice before heading towards the cave entrance.

Even Drake could feel the power here. It was enough to make him truly wonder about the reality of there being Titans... he would nod at Dion's words.
"Fair enough, I will do my best not to be offensive... but it is in my nature, so I can promise nothing..."

"That is good advice, I was personally surprised at how we've been treated so far, I fought alongside Krane while I was with Cabal, He and Hades are far more intense than the combination of who all I have met so far today. This seems more like what I was expecting when facing gods, hence my worry that I am overstepping my rights as... well... my kind." She remembered Dion's words to Drake and she wasn't sure what he meant by that... maybe she took it as including herself as well. "Honestly... Its been rather pleasant." She grinned slightly.

Dionysus would nod.
"My father and brother are intense people. There is a lot of pressure on our family for losing the Golden Fleece all those years ago. The Nordes are generally marry and enjoy their time off."
Dionysus would lead them inside and heading down.
"We will be going down for some time. Hypnos and Thanatos are generally calm and pleasant. However they are primordial. While I myself don;t believe this whole God thing, they are VERY old. And besides a few others among the Gods, I know of no others who have the curse of long life like them."
Dionysus hadn't lied, it took a good ten minutes to go all the way down to the base of the cave, lit by yellow molten rocks that gave off a gentler breeze to control the temperature. They would pass many people dragging their feet covered in old, ragged, dented, blemished, and broken shining armor. Their eyes would be dull and they barely acknowledged anything.
"Do not trust everything your eyes see down here. Avice is lucky in this regard."
Drake is VERY sure he sees his mother wearing the armor, dragging her feet along in the distance headed into the depths of a turn off!

Drake raised an eyebrow.
"Unfortunate. That means I'm only witnessing my wishful thinking."
However, internally there was a part of him that screamed to chase her down, fond out if that was really his mother... maybe she needed help...

"Aye... I am no good at mind games. Probably for the best." She almost laughed but then tried not to make light unknowing to what they were seeing. As Dion lead them through she was feeling the intense static. even if she couldn't see much there was no way one might hide this amount of energy. As if they need to...

They would reach the cavern they were looking for, the opening with the black rock and fire lighting the walls. "This would be it." He'd announce to the group before entering. "Lord Hypnos?" Dionysus would call out. Before long an eight foot tall man in armor would walk out of a side room. Rubbing his eyes and yawning. Spotting the group following the red haired Dionysus the blonde Hypnos would grin. "Dion! Good morning. I haven't seen you since your brother was injured. To what do I owe the visit?" Dionysus would bow his head lightly. "Well Lord Hypnos, I was hoping to call in on that favor to help the girl enter her mindscape." Hypnos would look at the two and narrow his eyes and brow a bit trying to figure out which one was the woman for a moment. Both seemed rather feminine. "Ah, her. Quite. That is a simple enough task. If it is enough to make us even, I'd do it gladly." He'd yawn again. Everyone in the room would feel just a tad sleepy. "Sorry, I sometimes my power leaks. Anyways, step forward young lady. You will need to get comfortable. Even if what you will see may not be all that comforting, you don;t want to wake up with sore joints or a stiff neck." |

Drake looked at the man. His tall stature made even Drake waver in his disbelief of Titans. Then he would feel the sleepiness. He would shake his head to try to keep awake. As he stared at the being he wondered what he would see if he activated his eyes. However, before doing so Dion's words echoed in his mind. He wondered if looking at the being with his Seikatsugan would be considered rude or not? Would it be better to ask permission? How does one ask politely to send into someone's soul?

She put a hand over her mouth to fight back her own yawn and not have her mouth agape in front of the Titan. "Here I thought the trip was more taxing than I expected."
She would try and walk forward when he declared her to do so, careful not to trip over once more. She held her hand forward and took aware and searching steps before her. "I used to sleep in a number of places, outside, hot, cold, upside down... Getting comfortable shouldn't be too difficult. Aye?"
