"You're a trap!" Hugo exclaimed loudly as he pointed out a man standing in front of him.
The cat who just became a man gave a smug look at Hugo. A mischievous smile appeared on his lips.
"I didn't know you were so happy when I changed my voice earlier." The man looked at Hugo from head to toe, as if looking at his whole personality.
Hugo rolled his eyes. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and looed at the person in front of him.
"So, you were a man after all?" He asked, not knowing what to believe anymore
The man's lips stretched to the side. "Allow me to introduce myself then," he bowed down gracefully as if it was a custom to be made every time he introduce himself.
"I am God Hendrix, the rightful hand of Goddess Thalia." Hendrix introduce himself as his clothes magically changed.
Now he was wearing a cloth, befitting of a God. It was a white-colored suit with golden colored padding on the shoulders. There was a golden chair, surrounding his waist that looked like it was a belt.
Hugo has gotten speechless by what he heard. He remembered ordering the cat to go down his bed a while ago… what's more was this man, in front of him had been close to his sister.
Recalling it, Hugo couldn't stop himself from taking a step forward, glaring at Hendrix even though he was a God.
"You! What do you want from us?" He asked. His eyes were starting at Hendrix intently.
Hendrix looked back at Hugo and answered, "I came here for a special mission."
"What is that?"
"That, I can't tell you." Hendrix responded.
He looked around at Hugo's room with adoration written in his face. As a God, it was Hendrix's first time to came down in the mortal world.
He wasn't very fond of the idea of interacting with humans who was lower than him. But, well, because of a mission given to her by Thalia, he got to do it.
At first, he didn't really like the idea of Thalia ordering him around to do this when there's a lot of available people in their kingdom.
He was the God of War for Pete's Sake!
He belonged to the battlefield, slaying some enemies or ensuring the safety of the people in heaven.
But it has already been ages since he last went to a war.
Thalia must have known that he was longing for the smell of blood that resulted to what happened now.
In his life, Hendrix spend almost ? of his life in battle to have peace and to finally defeat the Demons. That's why unlike the other gods that were residing in haven, he was not familiar with words and terms that were used in the mortal world.
Now, that he was on this place, he should at least try out new things that would interest him. He will boast it to Azura once he came back to his homeland. Since the man had been teasing about it for too long!
"Why are you so close with my sister?" Hugo's eyes didn't left Hendrix.
Hendrix shrugged his shoulder. "That little human looked cute." He answered simply.
"Don't even try to court my sister!" He threatened when he saw the adoration and amusement in Hendrix's eyes as he mentioned his sister.
Hendrix's eyes widened. He looked at Hugo with his eyes full of interest.
"Courtship? What does that mean?" He curiously asked as he went closer to Hugo. In there, he placed both of his hands on his shoulders, shaking his body as if asking him to answer.
"…"
Hugo couldn't form any words on his mouth. 'Really? He doesn't know what that means?"
"Hey! Don't give me that look! There was nothing in heaven!" Hendrix defended himself as he went to Hugo's bed to sat on it.
"Your bed isn't soft like those I have on Heaven, but it was still comfortable!" He uttered as if making a point. "I thought that this place is bad. But well, after seeing some things in your house then I thought that it's a little bit bearable." He continued.
"Can you make your tone low? My family will hear you if you keep on shouting." Hugo scratched the temples of his head. He could feel it starting to ache.
He looked at his window, taking a quick glimpse in the sky.
'Why did you do this to me Thalia?' he asked in his mind.
Hendrix took a sigh. "But what does courtship mean? Does that mean exactly when we say are you courting death?"
Hugo do not know what to answer when he saw the seriousness written on his face.
"Well, they have similar meaning—"
"I DIDN'T WANT TO KILL YOUR SISTER!" Hendrix stood up with widened eyes.
'I didn't know that humans see my actions that way!'
Hugo placed his hand on his forehead.
"Courtship is pursuing someone you like, all right?" Hugo just gave the meaning of the word when he saw the fear that flickered across Hendrix's eyes.
He didn't know that the people in heaven were like this. He thought that they were all about intelligence and glory, but he didn't expect for them to lack the basic knowledge of a human's life.
'But why does it seem like Thalia knew a lot about this world?' A question popped out in his mind.
Well, that must be because Thalia used to live on earth while the other gods were already brought up to heaven since they were born.
"Then I should do that to your sister!" Hendrix energetically exclaimed.
'Hugo's sister is very cute so I like her. If I do the 'courtship' that Hugo had mention a while ago, does that mean I can pinch her cheeks every day?' he wondered as he took a quick glance of the door.
Hugo facepalmed once again. He sighed. "No. Courtship is like romance, alright? Like marrying to the love of your life but just a little bit lower than that." He explained in a more detailed way, hoping that Hendrix will finally understand what he meant.
Hendrix nodded as if he already understands what Hugo meant. "Did you know that a God and Goddess can only marry once in their whole life?"
"Really?" Hugo's forehead creased.
"Yeah. Because we are entitled to a very long life, it was written on one of our rules that we shall only marry one person to avoid wars and misunderstandings." Hendrix chuckled.
"That's why some choose to just stay alone and not marry at all."
"Well, that's understandable." Hugo uttered.
He looked at Hendrix. Hendrix has a light brownish hair. He has a pale skin and a masculine body. He didn't know If this was Hendrix's original body or if he toned down his characteristics to fit the human standard.
But, well, he will already pass as one of the most handsome guys in Lunaria with his looks.
"Is that your original look" Hugo asked curiously. He couldn't keep the question inhis mind, knowing that it is better to have an answer right now.
"No," Hendrix answered simply.
"Thalia told me to change the way I looked or else all humans will drool over me."
"…"
Hugo took a deep breath. He looked at his phone before glancing over to Hendrix.
"You can sit on my bed once again." He informed him, feeling guilty that he let him go down in his cat form.
Now, he was curious if the other gods in heaven could change the way that they look.
With what Hendrix had said, he feels like everything will be possible in heaven.
But after knowing that the gods were not allowed to marry more than once, turned him off.
'That's why I should never be a God,' he unconsciously thought thinking about Lilianne, Abigail, and many more women to come.
He grinned when he remembered it. He glanced at Hendrix and asked a question.
"Don't take me wird or something, but I have a last question for you." Hugo scratched the back of his head as he walked back closer to his bed.
"What is it?" Hendrix asked as if he was now bored with what he was doing.
'Are you a virgin?"
"What?! Of cours—"
*Knock *Knock *Knock
"Brotherrrrrrr?"
Hugo's eyes widened when he heard loud knocks coming from his door. He instantly looked at Hendrix, with panic written in his face.
"Go back to your form!" He anxiously uttered when he heard the door getting opened from the other side.
"Brother! Who are you talking with?" Hailey asked curiously when she opened the door and saw Hugo staring at the cat that was on the ground.
"Oh, are you talking to the cat alone? I thought you were in a call with someone." Hailey giggled as she entered the inside. She knelt to the ground and touched the cat's fur softly.
A loud sigh escaped from Hugo's lips as if the heavy burden in his chest had been lifted.
"Thank goodness."
