Playthings of the Gods, Chapter Four - Sylvaine 8
1277 Words
Chapter 4
Denouement
The gods have decided they won’t perform another Squeezing. Everyone’s grateful that the knowledge-obsessed Cacia was present and was able to recognize the demigods for what they were.
“I wonder how many of the young people we had called were our own,” mutters a sober Dionysus.
“Now, you’re thinking of that,” Astraea sighs.
“What do we do with them? They can be the perfect playthings. They can fight back.”
“No, Dionysus. Stop that line of thinking. Our weapons may also choose them over us,” Eris says, despondently.
“Isn’t Luke preparing for his ascension?” Cacia asks.
“No. He’s not. He’d rather be human,” Eris shakes her head in disbelief. Her nephew has chosen the Earth over them.
“Game over,” Ares says, exhaling audibly.

“I can see!” Catalina cries, jumping up and down as Beth and Luke smile at her.
“W-what do you think?” Luke asks, nervous that she’ll reject him now that she can see him.
She runs to him and wraps her arms around him.
“Oh, I love it, Luke. Now, I won’t feel like I’m slowing you down.”
“You never slow me down, Cata.”
“Aww. Now, I wish I had agreed to the ascension,” Beth mock-complains.
“Nobody will believe we are sisters,” laughs Catalina.
“Who the f**k cares? We just toppled a terrible tradition among the gods,” Beth grins. “So, will the freaks remain in this town?”
“Yes, we will. We will have our own hunt,” Luke says, loving how the sisters’ eyes widen.
“We will hunt the other demigods, expand the community of freaks.”
The girls laugh in relief. The last thing they want is Luke acting like his father. If things change, they at least know where the shield is. The way the young football player looks at the formerly blind healer convinces the girl obsessed with death that they’re safe as long as they’re all together.
