Hermes stood in the middle of the park. He looked around at all the little mortals. They annoyed him. But Rikash had refused to eat anything until Hermes at least agreed to do this. The man stood with a note in one hand. He was to deliver to it Raven. And to tell her it wasn't her fault Rikash was gone.
The letter was simple. Raven (And Pretty boy Vince too I suppose), I'm sorry I'm gone. I wish I wasn't. But they won't let me leave and Hermes says I will get my self killed if I ever go back to earth. I'm sorry; there's nothing I can do. Please don't try to blame yourself for this, it was never your fault. I'm glad you're alright, Raven. Hermes says that you have been feeling better since...well, you know. I guess that's all I can say. And this is good bye for good I guess. I wish it weren't. But it is. So yea,
Bye.
Hermes had left a note at Rikash's old apartment with the time and place, but he wasn't sure if the Titans had ever even seen it. He felt so stupid, standing in a mass of mortals, waiting like a messenger boy.

Raven had been going to Rikash's apartment building to keep herself hidden if she wanted to hide from any one...well at least Vince knew where she was. She had been there all day long..... She hugged on to one of her friends pillows......Vince walked in... " Here you are.....You know they might close this building up...." "I know.....I had to see his place again....I miss him so much....." "I know....Me too....Look....I can't tell you it'll be allright or not....But you are well Rae....And Rikash was the one who saved you...." "But he took your powers...." "Small sacrifirce....Come on....."
They started to leave but Raven saw some thing on the dresser.... She walked over and picked up the piece of paper....And began to read to herself....She shuddered out loud.... "Rae...What?" Vince walked over to her....and saw the top of it...he laughed slightly as he read..."Pretty boy..." Yup that was deffenitely.... Rikash's writting.....

Hermes saw the two find the note and disappeared. His mission was over. Now maybe his charge would stop throwing things at him every time Hermes walked in a room. But once the god was gone, the note in Raven's hands changed. Rikash had left a subtle illusion on it.
The message had changed.
Raven, Vince. Please, get me out. I don't want to be here. Vince, I can get you your powers back.
Rikash

Vince looked up at his sister.... "NO!!!" "You read it!!!! He wants out!!!!" "Rae.....you know the only way mortals can even get to Olympus?......." Raven looked her brother dead in the eyes.... "Die....." "Why'd I even ask that...you read like it's going out of style..." "Vince...I owe this to him!!! He saved my life!!!" "Again...NO!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At Olympus, Rikash sat on his bed, staring at the wall. He refused to do much more than give Hermes the note. He felt bad about asking his friends to rescue him, but the boy was still pretty beat up. In his condition, even he couldn't slip out of the god's fortress. His arms had healed some, but Rikash's hands were still wrapped in bandages, burned from the amount of power he had used. During the first week after the fight, the boy coudl barely move. But after that he began working even harder to regain his strength. And one of the ways he had been doing that was throwing anything in his reach at Hermes when he walked it. Now everything in his room was bolted to the floor.
Rikash heard the door open behind him. "I delivered your note. Now eat something Rikash." The boy didn't even turn. He heard Hermes sigh. "I can make you eat Rikash. I'm more powerful than you despite what you seemed to think. Look, you're acting like a child." Rikash so tempted to hit Hermes. Didn't he get it? Rikash was a child. A simple child who wanted to go back to his friends and help them.

"Vince...I love you...you're my brother....But he is my best friend...And yours if you recall...." Vince sighed.... "What'd you think'll happen any way when two dead mortals walktzs right into that temple huh?!!! They'd propperly inprision us!!! " "You're jealous!!!! " Vince turned away from her and threw his hands in the air!!! And slapped them against his sides!!!! "I'm jealous huh? How?!!!" "Because I'm no little kid any more!!! And that drives you up the wall because you no longer have a say or so in what I do!!!! Well Vince GET over yourself!!!!!!"

Rikash felt cool magic wash over him. His mind detached from his body and he saw Hermes above his body, using it like a puppet to eat. When he was done he released Rikash. The boy's face was red with rage. He struck out, punching Hermes as hard as he could. Pain shot through his hand as Hermes caught it. "Calm down, Rikash. You're here for good. Let it be. You have no control over your power. The minute a mortal is in some vague danger you try to kill yourself to save her. I'm going to make you my apprentice, Rikash. I'm going to make you a demi god. Then we can start to erase these foolish feelings you have for simple mortals." He turned and left, heading to talk to Zeus about his idea. Rikash felt cold all over, but he could do nothing.

" You are insane!!!" "I'm insane?!!! Oh so I see where this is going!!!! You'll turn it all around and it'll be my fault!!!! " " You get smarter everyday!!! For a goth punk!!!!" "What'd you call me?! Vince!!!!" Vince had turned away from her again But she yelled his name out....To make him look at her....For a split second....Vince glanced back her and growled viciously!!!! His red eyes showed to her!!!! Raven gasped and stepped back..... "V...Vince.....Is there some thing you aren't telling me?" Vince turned away from very quickly.... "It's...It's nothing.....Really...."
Vince started to leave but fell on both of his knees!!! and grabbed his stomach and groaned out!!!! Raven ran over to him.....And knelt beside him as she wrapped her arm around him.... "Vince!!!...You're......" "NO!! Rae!! Stay away from me!!!!!" " You're acting like...." " NO!!!!"

Rikash listened to the silence around him for a long time. He could here the immortals out side walking past his door. Slowly the boy got up. No one was in the hall; it was night, or as close as it got to such here. Silently, the boy crept down the hall. Just as he entered the court yard he heard voiced. Hiding himself, Rikash watched. It was Zeus and Hermes. "I want to make him at least half god. Please, he's done more than some of the heroes we've done it for in the past." Rikash almost laughed at being called a hero. "I will think about it." Zeus' voice hurt to listen to very long. It was raw with power. "But you are right that his power is a danger in the mortal world. He can not go back." Rikash ran as hard as he could, away from the voices after he had left hearing range, Zeus spoke again, unaware the boy had ever been there. "If he goes back to the mortal realm, the new power you put in him will kill him. Maybe not right away, but slowly, he will burn up. You never should have put god powers in a mortal."

Raven was scared to death for her brother was acting very strange....She was going to find out.....But Vince grabbed her shoulder.... " Raven....Go....go....save him....He was your friend....Never mind.....me......I can't go...." "What's wrong with you?" "I....can't...tell you....." "I....understand.....But I will find a safe place for you...Vince go back to the Tower...Let the others know......Tell them you are not and no one else are not to go after me....It's dangerous and besides he didn't call them for help....." Vince nodded....but hugged her..... " Rae come back, no matter what happens....Promise to come back...." "I....can't promise that....."

Rikash was running as hard as he could. He just wanted to get away. Reaching the edge of the mountain, Rikash stood in front of the barrier hopelessly. He couldn't get out. He pounded the sides with his fists until they bled. But he saw no affect. At last he slumped to the ground and wrapped his arms around his legs.
At first he thought it was nothing, then that he could hold it back. But after a minute, he discovered he was crying. He was furious at the wall, his weakness, Hermes. He just wanted to be a normal kid in a normal family.

Raven walked into her bed as soon as Vince left....Rikash buitl her room for her for a BD present....So she was able to spend the night here with him more often....But after he left...It all died....Raven opened her closet door....and went into the far back of it...She had another room beyond that...A room only she & Rikash knew about....It was where she kept all her magic.....And Raven opened the seal tight locked door with a code only she knew....And walked inside the secret room..... She looked over her potions....and found one finally...She didn't wanna spill blood....She hatted that idea...Besides...Rikash never liked her spilling blood any ways...so she found a killing potion she made....and walked out of the secret room...She sealed it up again.....And walked into her bed room...She sat on her bed & thought for a moment about her friends here and her family.... Then she said...."I'm coming Rikash...Hold on...." With one quick motion she downed the deadly potion....And in an instant she grabbed her chest as the vile dropped out of her hand...and she fell flat on her bed on her back...She let the potion kill all of herself on the inside when the potion finally shut down her heart she slowly closed her eyes.....

Rikash felt something through the barrier shiver. Someone was passing through it. He was on his feet in less tan a second, wiping his face with his sleeve. He left a streak of red across one cheek where blood came through the bandage. He looked around carefully, half hidden in a bush. It could be Raven. Or it could just be one of the gods coming through.

Raven woke up....But she wasn't near Rikash at least she didn't think she was....She knew she was on Olympous however by the way the statues around her looked to be in pure gold....And a crystal cleat brrok of water was running behind her....That had a sparkling water fall flowing just beyond that....Raven read enough about this place to know enough about it....She got on her feet and began to walk through some bushes....but she accidently tripped on a vine growing in the ground and landed out of the bush.....She grunted as she fell....And saw some feet infront of her......

It was a pair of muses, laughing as they spoke to each other. They stilled as they came up on the girl on the ground. The girls looked first her, then each other, then back at her. "It's a mortal," they chimed together. One knelt down, looking at Raven intently. "What are you doing here mortal?" The other twirled happily. "Oh we haven't had mortals in here for too long. Now there's so many of them. That boy Hermes brought in and now this one. It's so exciting." The two started giggling again chipperly.
