Untamed Chroma

Chapter 4 - Typhon's introduction

After a quick shower, Atlas got out and dried his hair, wrapping a towel around his waist, he went to the kitchen, where his father was sitting on the couch, while Asclepius was in the kitchen doing dishes and his grandma was cooking something

"Ooh what's this give me a bite" he said as he took a piece of potato

"OI! You'll eat when I'm done!" She said as she smacked his hand as he tried to reach for another

"It's so good though lemme just have one"

"I have to go grocery shopping four times a week to feed your son Neptune. He's like a vacuum cleaner always eating everything" she said making Neptune laugh.

"Aren't you going out for dinner with your buddies" Asclepius asked

"Yeah in a bit, I'm late actually, I should get dressed. Wait WAIT!" He said as he rushed to the couch sitting beside Neptune "Come with me!" He said

"Oh, I... wish I could son" he replied

"What? Why not?"

"I'm not really allowed... it took ages of convincing Athena and lord Zeus for me to come see you. If I were to meet the rest of your friends, I doubt they would take it too lightly"

"But why though?! What's the point?"

"Athena and Zeus are some of the wisest gods of Olympus so I don't really tend to question their decisions. Besides, I wouldn't be able to go anyway, I've got some business to attend to late at night today"

"Can I at least tell them that you came? That I finally met you?"

"You're killing me here, Atlas"

"What about Hestia, at least her?" Atlas asked as his father sighed and finally agreed

"Stop whining and go get dressed you're going to be late!" His grandma said as he got up and went to his room

He wore his sleeveless light blue shirt, as well as his black and blue jacket. After putting on cologne and trying to brush his hair but to no avail, he put his hand in the tank and picked Levy up, putting the lobster on his shoulder before heading out and grabbing the car keys "I'm heading out now, Grandma do you need anything from outside?" He asked

"No, just don't stay out for too long, its Persephone's rising today, the streets are busy" she replied

"Yeah the beach was so busy today at work" he replied

"Do I not get a hug son?" Neptune asked joking as he stood up

"Never thought you would be a hugger" he replied as Atlas gave him a tight hug

"I'm not really, but after 20 years of not seeing you I want anything I can get. Stay safe out there" he said as Atlas smiled and soon left. Getting in the car and driving out into the city

The setting sun casted an orange glow on the streets of Athens as Atlas drove through the busy streets, there was way more traffic today. He made his way over to Gaea's house, waiting outside for a moment before the passenger seat door opened and Gaea hopped in, greeting him."Is Rex still unable to come?" He asked

"I gave him some soup earlier, he's fast asleep at the moment, he's very uhhh... tired I guess" Gaea said

"Welp, bring him something tonight, like takeaway or something"

"What food does the place serve anyway, WHERE ARE WE GOING DIONYSUS STILL DIDNT TELL US"

"Call him, tell him we're almost there"
