Aquarius gave a small start his eyes flickered from red to blue and back again. He seemed to be struggling against himself.

She poked his face right by his eyes to see what he'd do.

Aquarius didn’t seem to notice.

Kyoko emerges from the shadows and sits on the ground to munch on her chips.

((Ignoring that weird comment…))

"You're a worthless piece of filth that needs to be purged from this world—after you give me a lapdance, though," Kora said, all with a straight face and a cocked head.

Aquarius slowly calmed down, his eyes red again. He looked around. “Why am I here? Where is the king? I must see him!”

"Oh, gods above and raging oceans," Kora mumbled with a sigh, rubbing at her forehead. "This is getting us nowhere." She snapped her finger's under the boy's nose, attempting to grab his attention once more. "Look at me," she commanded, voice stern and unwavering.

He didn’t seem to notice her.

(Hint: what snapped him from his trance is a name she said…)
(Also, I stumbled upon one of your rps. Kora is married?)

((Yes, she's married to a godly prince in my story, but I sometimes fudge it when it's more realistic rps and make them fiancés))

"It's like he's hypnotized," she murmured, placing her hands on her hips with a little hm. Her ocean blue eyes roamed up and down Aquarius.

(Can I just say that that is adorable?)

Nyx snorted. ”It’s all about the strength of the mind of the one who cast it.” She smirked. ”And he was showing some signs of life earlier. I wonder…”

She leaned over to him. ”This is a lost cause. Send him to Hypnos.”

Immediately Aquarius started struggling, eyes flashing blue and red.

((What? Her being married or her actions?))

She flashed a toothy grin. "Genius, Nyx," Kora begrudgingly praised. "So he reacts to Hypnos's name, which should mean something."

(Married.)

Aquarius started struggling even more. Nyx smirked. ”He must not appreciate Hypnos. Maybe we should see what might have caused that.”

((Ah))

"Perhaps," Kora mused. "I mean, it's not like Hypnos does anything to wrong others. He's quite the passive god, despite being the twin brother of Thanatos."

Aquarius Renee to come to himself, if only for a moment. “Don’t send me to Hypnos,” He panted. “I can’t stabd counting any more sheep.” He sounded desperate.

Kora's brows furrowed. "What has been done to you?" she asked quickly, using this brief window of opportunity to get the most important questions out.

“Nothing too bad,” he panted, red flashing through his eyes before he blinked it away. “But they want my sister. She can’t let them get her, or it could be catastrophic!”

"We got her, don't worry," she said, still talking quickly, "but I want to know how to help you." I could always take him to my sister-in-law, she thought suddenly, and it wasn't a bad idea. Probably the best spell caster there is, definitely the most talented illusionist.

Aquarius gave a faint nod as his eyes faded back to red. He seemed to have no recollection of what had happened.

Kora sighed, then rubbed at her temples. "I have a solution, but it involves my family, and I doubt you would like to concern yourself—in fact, I'd much prefer to keep my happenings hush hush for now until I get things figured out."

Nyx scoffed. ”Very well. I shall see you later, child.” With that, she vanished in a cloud of darkness.

Kora grabbed Aquarius by his collar and dragged him down the hall until she met back up with the others. She was the last to arrive, which was no surprise, and her eyes scanned the group to see who all they had rescued.

(remember, other groups went to get her other brothers and captives as well)

(Yeah, I do.)

The Old Man of the Sea was there. It seems as though the others had rescued him. He smiled sadly when he caught sight of the Siren Prince.

"Ah, I see you're here," Kora said when she saw The Old Man. She turned to the Chimera brothers. I need you three and the other inflicted sirens to come with me. The old man can come too."

Lance and Levi tilted their heads in question, but Leon didn't seem too concerned. Aurae petted her snakes idly, keeping an eye on the other freed captives.

Tempest, Ford and a few others, who seemed perfectly fine, we’re all waiting. Tempest was still passed out, and Ford was strugglig wildly as an ugly, worn down looking woman said, “Hypnos. Hypnos,” over and over.

"Yeah, something's up," Kora murmured, then pulled out a purple-ish gem from her back pocket. "Lance, you keep Tempest with you. Levi, you can handle Aquarius." He looked about ready to protest, but soon quieted down when he saw the look on Kora's face. She continued. "Leon, you take Ford. I'll take the old man and this lovely lady right here." She came up to the worn down woman and lightly gripped her arm while Levi grabbed Aquarius and Leon got Ford.

The woman cackled. “Hypnos is going to get you!” She shouted. Aquarius and Ford But started struggling, panicked looks on their faces.

Kora lazily twirled her fingers, and a watery gag settled over the woman's lips. "Alright, is everybody ready?" she asked the Chimera triplets. They all nodded, Levi and Leon keeping firm holds on their respective siren. Aurae knew what she had to do and gestured for the rest of the people to follow her out of the palace. She got them in, she could get them out.
