Review

"You should go now, Little God, your presence makes me weary"

"Quite the arrogance for a mortal to have. Now come down here to squash you like the bug you are."

"Famous Last words, Can you back them out?. I wonder how the Olympus didnt kill you the moment you were born. Afterall you are a disgrace to the title of GOD."

-???

I sigh, What a Payless job I have, I smile warly.

"Let's go." I said as I give father my left hand, he took a hold of it as we walk. I didn't forget about the wrongness in the air though.

And certainly I didn't forget why my instincts came full blast like that.

I'm sure something Life-changing will happen.

[Daedalus]

Daedalus raged as he walked, like a fuse waiting to blow up on some unexpecting person. he tried to rein it in, oh, he tried alright. but it keeps bubbling beneath his skin, lurking like a predator, unfortunately Daedalus was lost in his anger to notice. He kept his emotions in check for his son, he didn't want to scare him, no matter what some people may say, Daedalus loved his son so he endured it in silence.

But- "what if the people of Athens liked his work more than yours?" But he couldn't block the sound of his son asking him that question. It just came to his mind like a viper, so sudden and unexpectedly. And it drives his mind mad just imagining that happening, it makes his blood boil even more.

The past few days he had blinded himself of his sister's son achievement. But today had blown up that, when people keep pointing him when he pass as they whispered about 'The great inventor being surpassed by his student ' makes him want to break someone's neck. Unfortunately The only neck that needs of some snapping is his former students. But he kept himself in check for his son.

For now.

    [Icarus]

I sighed as the all too familiar Bloodlust presses around me, I shrugged it.

It seems Daedalus couldn't keep it in for more than a few minutes.

"Coming, coming!" Shouted Daedalus as the crowd parts before him, but not before Been cursed by the angry people before him.

sigh, Ahh, man what a mentally tiring day. apparently perdix decided to hold his expedition at the Peak of Athens, The Acropolis. We followed the gathering crowd to a clearing, with displays set at the edge of the Acropolis cliff. Daedalus immediately start pushing people to get the ' front seat'.

After a while the crowd finished gathering around and settle down, perdix spoke up , voice booming, filled with excitement," Hello everyone, Why thank you for showing up today ! I'm sure your time will not be wasted, Now feast your eyes on my new invention!"

I can't help but to admire his confidence.

He then tugged the sheet and unveil the display, A long rectangular metal 'thingy' with a serrated edge cut into sharp, stainless steel with jagged teeth, "The saw!"

Some time later.

Well wasn't that boring as hell?. I mean yeah, it's impressive that he made a futuristic invention but, to a man who lived in the 21 century? that's trash. I watch with bored eyes,how the crowd gets excited by the new invention. Ahh yes, can't forget about Daedalus. This guy gotta be the death of me.

The Bloodlust that he had been emitting? yeah Its getting heavy to the point, the crowd is getting uncomfortable even with them excited

 I pass a sideway glance to his face, confirming my suspicion, guy got murderous look on his face, The madness is back, this time with interests.

I sigh, ahh man, cant I get a happy, comfortable life? Am I cursed?... no seriously, the things we do for our love ones.

Something catches my attention at the edge of my vision, I turn my head to look at the 'innocent' owl, at the tree.

Yeah, no.

 I know that when you throw magic and mix it with Gods you're going to get a fucked up mixed favour.

But come on, shouldn't owls be asleep at this time? what sort of creature you are to be here at this hour?, I know that during this era things were not quite what they are.

Being reborn is a advantage in and of itself, so when you mix it with me being a former general? yeah you got a healthy dose of paranoia, I don't know if 'healthy' dose is quite right if you lived in the military for ten years.

So when I see an owl there, watching this, it makes my instincts I thought I buried away come to life.

First thing first, Athens is a city being patroned by Goddess Athena

Second, Daedalus is a human mortal who was blessed by Goddess Athena

Third Goddess Athena, The goddess of Arts and Handicrafts —Currently a craft is being presented—

Fourth is that Goddess Athena sacred Animal is Owls

Fifth, Owls are only active in Night only

Conclusion: This is Goddess Athen, or at least a piece of her.

My mind immediately revert back to being A general, assessing the situation in a split second. In less than a second, I already has all the information I needed. I sigh as my previous tense form relax —not really, who would relax in the presence of a goddess/god?—

It will seem We attracted an unwanted attention.

"-ucking bastard!" I snap back to attention at the yell of Daedalus. It would Seem he cracked up, showing his real self.

"U-uncle!!?" Yelled perdix. Ahh yes, he seems he didn't know his uncle personality very well.

I sighed, well, Time to get my acting together.

It is quite unfortunate for my cousin die, but oh well, Lesson Number 1 on Suverving Tips, Save yourself before saving others.

The dam seems to be broken as Daedalus March to perdix in his rage fuelled state.

"don't take all the glory to yourself!, remember I taught you!" Like a fucking Lion Daedalus roared in Anger, envy colouring his voice.

Apparently, perdix seems think himself as a man, because he fucking snapped. Ahh I wish I had popcorns to watch this real life movie, but oh well, we don't always get what we want.

"Admit it uncle!, You're envious of me!, That's why you kicked me out of your own house,You're jealous of me Because I'm better than you. Admit it, I have long surpassed you, Daedalus!!" Dude be all so smug, satisfaction plastered all over his face. Poke the sleeping dragon with a 5cm stick, why don't you? might as well Pray to Hades,to make death quick and swift.

"You! yo-" apparently fed up with his arrogance, Daedalus decided to take action.

Took his former student by the clothes and Jack him up,"well, it seems there'll be one inventor short" He said face set in mocking expression as he walks slowly to the end of the peak.

Me, being the Poet I was, couldn't resist the Temptation to make a tragic ,sad story for the citizens of Athens, I know that it will back me in the ass later, but-

"Father!, please! that's my cousin!, your Nephew!" I yelled in my most desperate voice as possible, sadness mixed in as well, as I run to father in a pathetic attempt to look like a hero.

"Nephew? I don't have one, The one I had died..5 years ago, What's a Family, In days filled with glory!!?" Said Daedalus, as he knocks me back in a well placed kick. It hurt, but nothing I can't handle, I look at Daedalus with despair in my eyes.

And like that Daedalus dropped perdix.

"Nooooo!!!!." I screamed as I ran to the cliff to see the outline of a figure disappearing. I made sure to stretch out my hand in a good measure. I could've saved him if I wanted , but wouldn't that be boring? a little spice to life is required. How am I taking this well you ask? well, didn't I tell you, I took psychology classes? yeah, everyone was a sociopath, myself included. Anyway I think my acting deserve an Award, even Twilight stories didn't feel this good when I read them.

I look at the body of my still falling cousin, and made sure everyone heard me on this cliff, In a sad voice, filled with grief I said, "Thus he kindly scatter." I know this is wrong but I feel giddy inside doing this. The Poet inside didn't allow me to give up this chance.
