There was a profound silence that took hold over the room. No one spoke as Laz grabbed a towel from his spatial ring and handed it to the blood covered Empress. This didn’t surprise him as he understood her character better than it seemed anyone else did, mostly because he hadn’t been around her long enough to get a false idea. Instead, for someone who had risen up to be the empress, this kind of action had to be expected.

After cleaning her face the best she could with the towel, she looked over at the gathered generals and spoke,

"Keep an eye on their people. If anyone shows any signs of rebellion, kill them. We no longer have the luxury of getting people to follow us through merit or conditions. Spread the word as well that the enemy will be here within the next few days so if they don’t want to be let outside of the fortress to fend for themselves, then they best do everything in their power to support our efforts."

Hera then turned to her daughters,

"You all know what you are suppose to do. Be ready by the end of tomorrow when we will discuss the new plan. As for those of you who haven’t broken through your seed yet... We shall make plans for that to happen before the end of tomorrow. If you are to be of any help, you will need at least a day from your breakthrough to establish yourselves."

Hera then turned to Laz.

"I’m going to bath. Meet me in my room in an hour to discuss what we can expect from your floating weapon," and with that, she turned from the room and walked out without a look behind her.

"I’d never thought I see the day she returned. I could only lament at the fact that such a character had been buried by family duty and within the rivers of time...." One of the oldest generals said once the Empress was out of the room.

Others turned to ask questions and they filed out along with everyone else except Laz, Two and Hera’s daughters who had all turned to look at Laz with various expressions. From Athena’s group, there were many with quisitive looks, wondering why their mother placed such high praise and expectations on this man. As for Aphrodite, Artemis, Eris and the others who already knew him, their expressions were slightly different... kind of like starving humans who saw a tasty dinner sitting right in front of them.

Seeing this and not even bothering to question if what he saw was real, Two quickly made his escape, letting Laz know that he would find Nagi after she was done with Eris and keep her entertained, something that would only involve food. He knew it was the only weak spot with which he could convince the little goddess to do anything and took advantage of it when he could. She had spent most of her life only being able to eat the scant few things she could find so when it came to yummy things she had never tried before, she was like a hopeless little glutton.

Once Laz had assured Two he would join him later, Two quickly left, leaving Laz surrounded by the women.

"Uh... long time no see..." Laz started to say, before Aphrodite pulled him into a kiss, followed by Persephone and then the others, one after another.

"You’ve left me alone for too long. I need that cock more that I need to breath right now," Persephone said and for the first time, he noticed she was no longer dressed in the restrictive gown she had always worn while being married to her husband.

"I see you changed..." Laz finally got out when his lips were free again. While the women around him didn’t exactly love him, their few encounters had left them wanted something only he could give them. Even the few chances they had to have sex with their husbands did nothing more than to piss them off, leaving their husbands to wonder just what their wives were pissed off about.

As for the ones without husbands.. the things they tried couldn’t be revealed in public, but each story was more dirty than the last.

"Of course it’s different. When I left my husband, he tried everything he could to get me back, including using the runes on the dress, but little did he know that you had already neutralized them, making his efforts futile. Mmm... master... you should reward me. I was very considerate of his feelings back then. I sent the dress back that was still covered in your man juice and even included a letter with a wooden carving explaining just how nicely it is to be impaled by a dick so big. I even made the suggestion that he could use the carving for himself since it was truly a divine feeling to have such a large thing mercilessly shoved into my back door. From what was told to me, he ended up losing it completely and had to be detained by some of his brothers after he began attacking the guards just to see where I had gone. Ahh... it was such a delight...."

Laz had forgotten just how far gone Persephone was but was once again getting a reminded as she spoke these things out loud to both her sisters who knew and Athena’s group who didn’t.

"Is that what uncle Hades went insane and needed to be locked up?" Athena ended up bursting out and saying.

"Of course dear sister. How could such a small man ever please us? I’m sure you don’t understand just yet what I am talking about, but believe us... you will understand and very soon. Trust us..." Persephone said back and much to Athena’s horror, the other sisters around Persephone nodded in agreement.

"Uh I..." Laz started as he was now being eyes by every women in the room.

"No no... Sorry master. But we were told not to let you go. Sadly though, we have to take you to see mother and won’t have the pleasure of having you for ourselves just yet. But we were told that it would be soon. So come. We must escort you to her room," Persephone said as she grabbed Laz’s hand while Aphrodite grabbed the other one and the began bringing him outside the room. As for the other girls who were left, the quickly formed a circle around Athena and her six sisters.

"What is the meaning of this?" Athena said, feeling that something was wrong.

"Sorry sister. But mother’s words are absolute. You are to accompany us and get ready. There is far little time left until the horde arrives and you all need to be ready if we are to survive," Artemis said, waving the others ahead. Athena briefly thought of resisting, but considering every one of Artemis’ helpers including her were already true gods, they had no choice but to bow their heads and follow along.

Laz was moved quickly as they arrived at a massive wooden door. Pushing it open caused a blast of hot air to assault Laz’s face as he was quickly dragged inside and the door closed.

As Laz’s eyes got used to the slim bit of candle light that allowed him to see, he could faintly hear the sound of water splashing and a slight moan as he was quickly dragged to the edge of the water. Before he could even ask his questions, Persephone and Aphrodite had stripped and were removing his clothing before dragging him in.

The warm water seemed to refresh every pore on his body as he felt the sensation of sliding into the water wash over him. He then felt another, even warmer and slightly slippery feeling wash over his right hand as he noticed Persephone had somehow managed to slip a few of his forgotten fingers inside of herself. Just as Laz was again going to say something, the feeling repeated itself on his left hand and the small moan that accompanied it showed that Aphrodite couldn’t hold herself back either.

As both women grinded on his hands while their moaning kept getting louder, Laz couldn’t help but feel himself become unusually hard and swollen, even more so than normal.

A gust of warmth covered both his arms as the two young goddesses came hard, their juices many degrees hotter than the water they were sitting in. Just as they moved back, they giggled and kissed Laz on both cheeks before getting up out of the pool and running off, not even bothering about their clothing.

Just as Laz sat back and questioned what all that was about, he made out a blurred figure coming right at him.

Not even bothering to ask, he just let the blurred figure approach until it’s magnificent assets were all revealed. Laz still didn’t move as Hera walked closer and set herself on Laz’s lap, with only his massive appendage separating them.

"You kept me waiting," she said.

"I was a bit busy you know?"

"Not a good answer. So now you’ll do as i say for my forgiveness," Hera said, turning around and straddling Laz.

"My other daughters need you as well so we will have to make this quick," Hera whispered into Laz’s ear, seductively.

"But for now,... let’s get you clean, shall we?"
