Ch. 30: When Playing Cards, Watch Out For The Joker!

There was a lot of chatter and festivities but I could not get absorbed by it at the moment. I

My eyes blazed blue as I gritted my teeth. "Just why would an old man be leaving the woman's toilet?" I darted back to the hall intersection, I knew I had to go back to the start of I was to clear things up. "No!" I stopped when I noticed one of the party attendants taking down the female sign that pointed in the direction of the toilet.

On sighting me he gasped. "Sorry for the inconvenience there but some idiot switched the signs, good thing you actually went to the male's toilet right away. Or perhaps you were headed to the female's toilet, who am I to care right?

For the love of-- everything broke down in my mine. I had been played clearly, I looked down the stairway where a figure reached down to the base dressed in a waiters uniform, from her hair colour I knew who it was— Eris! She had me.

PING!

"CHECKMATE..."— RECIEVED (0 SECOND AGO)

Move! I told myself but my body could not, I was paralyzed head down. Why! For the first time I had just tasted true defeat, my mind could not comprehend it. The fact that Eris— knew I would disrupt her plans, no! She didn't know, she just opined that I could pose a threat so she removed me from the way using underhanded means.

Very befitting of the goddess of strife, but why the change of wear? Did she want to go unnoticed or did she do it to lose me?

What do I do now? I have to stop her or the calamity will happen, I have to prevent the original flow of the story or Olympus will fall. I have to--

"Dammit!" I leaped over a few flight of stairs and stated racing down as fast as I could for the bottom, my eyes blazing with raw vigour, my heart pounding hard. "I can't lose!" I breathed out my resolve and prepared for whatever I would do to stop her, no matter how dark it may be.
