I didn't mind this though as if anything this was even more in my favor as now I could leave this thing in charge of my flames during combat. Not now obviously as it was too weak to be of any use at the moment but after it grew up a bit absolutely.
"My forge!" Hephaestus yelled angrily as she only now checked on her workshop.
Looking over it I had to admit she definitely paid a heavy price for trying to mess about with my flames as the entire room was scorched black and more than a few tools were missing after having been devoured by the rampant flames.-
Her furnace itself was still more or less intact due to it's innate resistance to fire but there was some damage to it that I could see. The less said about her stores of magic stones and materials the better.
"You know I think you've lost enough so i'ma just take this one with me and leave you to grieve your stuff." I said before leaving.
Honestly I hadn't even lost anything and felt the sting from the sheer amount of money that had been effectively used as fuel for the out of control flames.
I got a lot of mean looks as I left her office carrying something I didn't have when I entered. More than a few people likely were jealous that I received a gift from her after we had rushed into her office. From an outside perspective it looked an awful lot like we had ran to her office for a quick fuck before she sent me away with a gift afterwards. Needless to say the members of her familia closest to her office had very unpleasant looks for me though I ignored them.-
I left Babel only to stiffen when I felt a smooth arm drape itself over my shoulder and something soft press into my side.
"My what have we here, an adorable little thing isn't it?" Nyx practically purred in my ear as she clung to me intimately while looking at the cat in my hand.
For the briefest moment I thought about torching her but all of my instincts screamed at me the moment the thought appeared so I crushed it hurriedly.
"Hephaestus gave it to me as an unexpected gift." I said with a chuckle.
The cat turned into black flames that flowed up my shirt before settling back into a solid state on my shoulder at this point leaving all of them with jaws on the floor.
"W-what kind of cat did you say that was again?" Daphne asked with a slight stutter.
I grin "I didn't. Best way I can explain it is that it is a spirit made from my flames as should be obvious." I said casually.
"Like the spirits from the old tales of the age of heroes, THAT spirit?" Daphne asked in shock.
"Not exactly but similar enough I suppose. I'm surprised that it's acting so hostile to you all when it was perfectly fine in front of Hephaestus and Nyx." I said genuinely confused by this.
Hephaestus was easy to understand as she was more or less it's mother but Nyx had nothing to do with it and yet got away with rubbing it's head without so much as a squeak from the thing. I mean it was totally possible that it simply didn't like my familia members for whatever reason but I had no way of knowing since cats were notoriously temperamental.
'Oh fuck, Hephaestus is it's mother!' I stiffened in horror as my mind caught on to that little nugget of bad for me news.
"You met Nyx again!?" Hestia asked alarmed.
"Less I met her and more she blindsided me, again. That woman has a disturbing level of sensory perception when it comes to me for some reason. Now that I think about it I should probably try and fix that huh?" I said feeling a little foolish for not thinking about it sooner while still internally screaming at the understanding of Hephaestus being the cats mother.
