A Wizards Misadventures

~~Level Twenty One~~

"Right, right… I guess you showed up to one conference, then. Couldn't defeat the Satans by cellphone, right?" I laughed breezily at her bad joke, more to set her at ease than out of humor.

"If only. The best I can do through a cell phone now is sic my wife on them. Not exactly the stuff that earns respect." Melody rolled her eyes.

"Throwing the Infinite Dragon God at the Satans wouldn't earn you any respect… of course… you live a strange life, Lord Mavros."

"Hey, none of that lord stuff. At most I'm a Mister Mavros and I hardly act respectable enough to be called that." Melody smiled wryly.

"Please forgive this mere commoner, milord. How might I repent for my transgressions?"

"Think you could point me towards wherever Zeus is? I'm a little lost. Olympus doesn't exactly have planned streets." Melody nodded.

"Mind if I come with you? I don't get to see my mother too often. Having an excuse to see her again would be nice." I shrugged and she got up and walked over to her kids.

"Hey kids, I'm going to be gone for a few hours to see grandma, alright?"

"You're summoned?" the girl, Elena, asked in surprise. Basil looked over towards me curiously, the smart kid.

"Ahh, kind of. I'm helping out a friend who can get me in."

"That guy over there?" Basil asked, looking at me. I waved. Melody's smile turned sheepish.

"Abyss is-"

"Abyss? Like Abyss Mavros?" Elena perked up.

"Who's that?" Basil asked.

"The new god, the kitty guy."

"The one that grabbed Serafall and Gabriel's boobs at the same time?" I hid a wince. That damn video.

"Yeah, him… that's him?! Where's his ears?" Elena got excited again.

"Um, he's a god, sweetheart."

"… Okay." Elena grabbed her brother's hand and jumped off the tree branch. Her brother stumbled a little and she steadied him before running towards me.

"Wha-Elena… damnit," Melody swore under her breath. Elena and her brother, stars in their eyes, looked up at me. I was a little uncomfortable but just raised an eyebrow at the two.

"Are you really a god?" she asked.

"Yup. Are you really a human?" Elena frowned. Melody walked up to her two kids and looked a little grumpy that her kids just ran up to me. Or maybe she was just really impatient to see her mother.

"I'm a legacy! Grandma's Aphrodite, Dionysus is great granddad but we've never met him. Could you show us a spell?" I smiled at the two and raised my right hand. The two's eyes stared at it with laser focus. I snapped my fingers and a bird, an illusion made out of hardlight, was suddenly there.

"Whoah… that's it?" Elena looked a bit disappointed. Basil frowned beside her, though he looked at the little bird even closer, as though he would divine some sort of secret from it if he squinted.
