"Oh? Well, hello, beautiful! I was coming to see you, but It seems like I have some business here first. Do you think you could pass me two cups of tea?" I asked, and Cancer nodded with a warm smile. "Two sugar for Piccolo, dry for me."
"Coming up! Sorry for being here, but the place and everything in it smells like you!" Cancer said as she poured the tea.
"Tis fine. You are mine, and I am yours, so it goes the same for my island. What's mine is yours. Are the Winds still there?" I asked, and Fate answered for her from out of sight.
"Yes, waiting with the patience of a stone!" Fate snapped.
"You're full of shit. You probably have been being a little shit for your sister since I left!" I snapped back.
"Shut it, you big stupid cat! You told us you were going to be right back!" Fate snapped again.
"Just to let you know, they moved the center of the universe, and it is no longer you! I will get to you all when I have a place to put you all! I will also come to see you all soon," I growled but then smiled as I took the drinks from Cancer. "Thank you, dear. Feel free to portal me if Fate is being annoying, and then I will tie him up and hang him somewhere out of ears reach!"
Cancer leaned in and gave me a passionate kiss and then pulled back with a wink. "I will see you in a bit."
I let the portal close and handed Piccolo his tea in one of my cat cups.
Yes, a cat cup; I am a cat, and I love them; sue me.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to have some tea ready, but you always seemed to have a trick up your sleeve," Piccolo said, took a small sip, and then smiled. "Very nice, just like the cup itself. I don't know if any of the other gods do the same. I don't have any Pisces merchandise," Piccolo laughed softly, and I grinned with a shrug.
"I just like cats and thought it suited me. Now, let's talk about the Winds of Change," I said, and Piccolo nodded and smiled with a nod.
"Yes, we all know how powerful they are; you need to be careful with them. They are not something that should be played with. What do you plan on doing with them?" He asked, and I sipped my tea, thinking for a moment.
"I don't plan on doing anything with them. Hell, I didn't even want to bring them along, but Karma asked, and I have a hard time saying no to her pretty face!" I laughed and then took a sip of my tea. "Why are you so interested and worried about them?"
Piccolo made a face and then shrugged, taking a sip from his cup. "They can be dangerous. I have seen what they can do in the wrong hands; change things to their own liking. Aries is worried that you might use them for your own gain," Piccolo explained and then looked away for a moment before looking back at me.
"I won't lie and say that I won't ever think about using them for my own selfish wants, but I am not stupid enough to go around thinking I will be able to control them. I know full well that it could just as easily come back and bite me in the butt. All I want is to see the universe treated fairly or as fair as it can possibly be. That's why I'm here with all of you, learning how to balance out the power between different pantheons," I said, and Piccolo nodded, seeming to understand what I was talking about.
"We are all trying to do our best to try and keep the worlds in order. I think that you can do it; you seem more determined than most." He said, and we both stood up, gazing at the stars above us.
"We are all trying to do our best to try and keep this world in order. I think that you can do it; you seem more determined than most." He said, and we both stood up, gazing at the stars above us. "You should get going. I think that if Aries finds you here, she will lose it."
"That is most likely the case, but I am here for a reason. If you are having problems with Aries, then I best go talk to her. This is partially my fault, but I will not be held responsible for what happened," I said, and drained my tea, then looked back at the statue of Aries. "You make this, right? You are pretty good at that stuff, yeah?"
Piccolo nodded and smiled. "Yes, I made it out of respect for her. She has been through a lot lately and needs someone to be there for her."
"Yeah, I know that you do, but let me talk to her this time. Not like she... never mind," I said, cutting my comment about her getting any worse. Murphy would love that.
"I am sure you will have a better time getting through to her. Use whatever you think you need. I just want her back to her energetic self," Piccolo said with a sigh, and I gestured for a small portal to put my cup back, and then I took the other cup from him.
"I will do my best, but no promises. The two of us never really saw eye to eye, even when I was teaching her new things. It might be best to go home for a bit. This place is likely to turn into a war zone for a while," I said, and Piccolo nodded, opening his own portal.
"Good luck!" He said and stepped through his portal as I opened mine.
It was to the front of the temple that Aries stayed in. It was marble and gold, and it was beautiful. It also showed me why she used to be more prideful; it was a sight of beauty that seemed too few people got to see.
