----------Hou Yi's Perspective----------



There's a knock on my door which prompts me out of my bed. I go to open to find my beloved Chang'e. "Hou Yi... I have something to tell you."



"What is it. . ?" My heart pounds at the possibilities.



"I'm... pregnant."



"What?!" I feel the floor cave in underneath me. Suddenly I'm on the floor next to my bed. Oh... That was just a dream. Why did the idea of Chang'e being pregnant bother me so much..? We've been together long enough. We're basically married. I can't see myself with anyone but her... So then, why did I- There's a knock at the door. My heart skips a beat. I stare at the door for a few more beats.



"Hou Yi..? Are you awake..?" It's Chang'e.



I get up off the floor and walk towards the door. My whole body doesn't feel real. I open the door. "What's up..?"



"I was wondering since exams are over, and we have a little while off. Maybe you'd want to get away from the school for a little bit, just you, me, and... maybe someone else."



"Someone else..?" No, she couldn't possibly mean. . ."A-are you pregnant?"



"What???" Her face goes red at the question. "Why would I- No! If I was pregnant this is not how I would tell you."



Well that just makes me curious. "How would you tell me then..?"



"I don't know. I don't think I'd try to be subtle about it. I'd probably just say. 'Honey, I'm pregnant.'" That does sound more like Chang'e.



"Fair enough. Wait, what did you mean someone else?"



"I was just thinking it'd be nice to go with another couple somewhere. Or with a group of gods."



"Where would we all go..?"



"Literally anywhere Hou Yi. We are gods after all." She makes a good point.



"Who were you thinking of inviting..?"



----------Arachne's Perspective----------



Last night I spent the whole night just weaving. I constructed the perfect dress, or so I thought. Now that I'm looking at them, I feel unsatisfied... I'm so tired though. I should stop, and then look at them again with rested eyes, but I can't! Something stupid is bound to happen tomorrow- or I guess, later today. As it's already well into the morning. Something is bound to happen which will make me have to divert my attention from my passion. Then it'll probably be days before I feel inspired again. I'm inspired now so I need to work. . . Rather than destroying what I've done. I'll just start something new. I pull over a naked mannequin and stare at it... How to start. . . I stare back at the other outfit. Maybe I should go back to working on that. I bang my head on the mannequin. I'm just going to go to sleep.



----------Awilix's Perspective----------



Mercury's made it back with breakfast. As we're eating Athena continues to scold us over sleeping in. I don't really listen to what she's saying. "Hey Mercury, I was wondering. Exactly how fast do you think you can go?"



Mercury tilts his head at me. "I don't know. . . I'm pretty sure I can break the sound barrier."



Athena snaps. "Why are you just ignoring me!?"



I take a spoonful of rice and feed it to Athena so she'll hush for a second. "So Mercury, I was wondering. . . Could I ride you?"



Mercury blinks a couple times as if he's taking a moment to process what I just asked. "You mean like... on my back?"



I nod.



Mercury blushes.



Athena snaps again. "What lewd thoughts are you having?!"



"Nothing lewd at all! Sheesh, I'm not Apollo. I was just a little thrown off by how cute that request was. . ."



Now I'm blushing.



"So where do you want to run to?"



"Well where can we go?"



"Pretty much anywhere on the planet."



"How about just a ride around the campus?"



"Okay!" Mercury vanishes for a moment and reappears in his full battle gear. "Feels better to run in this." I can't imagine why. I'd think pants would be more comfortable.



"Well if you're going to wear your battle gear than I guess I'll wear mine too."



The moment I start to lift off my shirt Athena pushes Mercury out of the room. "Awilix! What is wrong with you???"



I pout. "It's not like I was going to get completely naked in front of him. . ."



----------Mercury's Perspective---------



Awilix emerges from her room. Shutting the door with Athena behind her. She's wearing what I assume is traditional Mayan attire. It's been so long since I've seen her wear her battle gear I forgot how revealing it was. . . my girlfriend is hot. "Y-you look good."



She runs her fingers through her hair. "I didn't feel like putting my hair up like I usually do with this outfit but I figured you wouldn't mind."



"You figured right." I turn around and bend down a little. "Hop on."



She wraps her arms around my neck and I lift her up with my hands on her so so soft thighs. "So how fast can you go anyways?"



"Top speed? I'd guess probably about Mach 8 maybe Mach 10."



"That'd be really fast for a run around the school."



"Pfft, no it wouldn't. Let's go!"



"Mercury wait!" She wraps her legs around me and holds on for dear life as I accelerate out of the girls dorm and onward to the outskirts of the campus. Significantly below the speed of sound. "Hey..."



I can't help but laugh as Awilix loosens up. "I wouldn't go that fast with a passenger. Also if I went faster than sound while doing laps around campus it'd be very loud and I think Principal Nox would probably expel me."



"Oh." Awilix pinches my cheek. "I was wondering how the wind isn't like blowing out our ear drums right now."



"Well when I run this fast I create sort of a windshield with my mana."



"Ohhh"



"So what do you think of the ride?"



"I think the word would be surreal. . ."



"How's that?"



"Just seeing the buildings and people go by so fast. It's like a blurry animated painting. It's a view I think I could get used to." She rests her head on my shoulder. There's a sudden roar and I watch as the skies seem to turn orange. "Mercury! I thought you said you wouldn't go that fast."



I come to a complete stop. "That wasn't me. . ." It looks like the sky is on fire.



Awilix sees it to. "What's happening. . ?"



----------Bastet's Perspective----------



"We're too late. . ." I look on in horror as this demonic beast stands over a motionless Anubis.



Nu Wa crosses her arms. "I'm not so sure about that."



The demon roars. "I have awakened. Prepare to be judged!" I can't stand this. I lunge forward with my dagger aiming it for that buffed up Creep's throat. A fiery chain catches me in mid air and slams me to the ground. "Ahaha! This power is greater than I imagined." So much pain. . . I must be covered in burns. I look over at my friends. I'm rather glad I ran into Nu Wa and Sol, two of the best mage students this school has to offer. I see the demon start to walk towards them. Ignoring me for now.



I take this opportunity to gather my strength and crawl towards Anubis. "Anubis... it's time to wake up. . . the world kinda needs you right now."



He doesn't respond. I put my hand on his chest and try to shake him. Is his heart still beating. . . I can't tell.



"Anubis, a god of death isn't allowed to die. Not right now. . ." I rest my head on his chest. "Please don't go."
