Lance rolled his eyes. "By the gods," he muttered to himself. Levi continued to humor the god.

“Now, where was I?” Koalemos mused. “Oh yes! You should tremble before me and give me all your moldy food!”

"Sorry bud, all out of moldy food. But I can give you half-finished beer bottles," Levi offered.

“Perfect!” The god looked very proud of himself. “Zeus will be very proud of me now!”

Levi and Lance's mood instantly soured at that. The two Chimera brothers glowered at the minor god.

Koalemos didn’t seem to notice the change in the air. “He might make me a general… maybe even his right hand man!”

"We're giving you thirty seconds to leave before we let Nyx deal with you," Levi threatened cooly. Gone was his usual playful demeanor. The Dragon was here.

“But… I’m more powerful than Nyx!” He said pitifully.

"Twenty," Lance warned. "And even Zeus is afraid of angering Nyx." Of course the least suspecting god would be on Zeus's side. The perfect infiltration opportunity. Thankfully–at least, as far as they knew–Koalemos was too dense to keep his trap shut.

(Koalemos is very special. Stop being mean lol)

“Yeah, well… I’m, uh… better than Nyx? And more feared?”

(lmao, that's just Lance. Always so judgy-judgy)

Levi rolled his eyes and shot his brother a look. Harmless. "Yeah, sure. So you work for Zeus?" Levi inquired.

“Who else is there?” Koala Moose seemed confused.

"Uhhh, all the other gods banding together to defend Earth?"

“That’s happening right now?”

"Yes…" Levi said slowly, as if he couldn't believe how stupid the god was. Then again, this was the god of stupidity they were talking to.

“Oh!” He laughed. “I must have not written it down on my calendar!”

Lance shot Tempest a pleading look. He didn't know how to deal with this god anymore and hoped that she had some idea of how to handle this situation.

Tempest smothered a laugh and walked over to the god. “Mr. Koala Moose, can you leave? We’re kind of in the middle of trying to stop a war.” She looked pleadingly at him, sticking her lip out and looking at him with doe eyes.
Koalemos looked startled. “Uh… yes, of course! I apologize, my lady.” With that, he vanished.

Levi shot Lance a knowing look. Lance pretended to not see it as he slumped in relief. "Couldn't you've stepped in sooner?"

She smirked slightly. “But it was hilarious!”

"It was fun at first," Levi agreed. "But then it just got confusing and tiresome."

“True.” She shrugged, sitting next to him.

Levi glanced over to Tempest when Lance walked out to talk to a different god. "So… what's up with you and Goat Boy?"

“Nothing,” she lied. She wasn’t sure whether Lance had told anyone yet, so she wasn’t sure if she should tell anyone.

"Oh please, we're triplets. I can see the way he looks at you–and you him. Gimme the deets girl!" he said, turning to face her with his legs crossed.

She snorted. “No thank you, Your Highness.”

He pouted like the ancient being that he was. "C'mon!!" he whined. "Please? I won't stop bugging you until you do."

“Well then, I guess I’ll have to go swimming.” She grinned at him.

"You forget that's it's just Leon that's afraid of the water," Levi pointed out.

“But you can’t live in the water like I can,” she said.
