"Brrr..." Tony got out of the pool and shook the water off, "HEY, PAL THAT WATER WAS REALLY COL... " The icy water made him stop being hyper. He looked inside the temple. "Blayd, what is that a snake?"

a dark figure emerged from the shadows and said "a sssssnake?.... yesssss, i ssuposssse you could sssssay that" it said blayd replied "what are you doing in my father's temple?" as the figure came into better view it could be seen as wearing a large black cloak and hood, which hung far over it's head. the arms of the arm sleeves hung limply at the creatures side. it said "oh me? i have been here sssssince.... since she set me free from tartoros, though i ssssstill cannot leave the temple, i am bound to it"

"Uh, Blayd?" Tony leans closer and whispers, "You think I should club him?" Tony asked wielding his club. I've been waiting for some action.

"Gotcha," Tony said to Blayd. Now that sounds like it could be interesting.
"So Eris, set you free?" Tony thought about why she'd would do that and why she'd bound him to the temple.

"oh yesssss" said the snake " she promised me freedom after i completed a task for her. she ssssaid to wait here for a sson of Apollo" it continued as it slithered out of it's cloak "and when he arrived, kill him" at that the snake lunged at blayd who just managed to get out of the way. blayd drew his bow and fired arrows at the snake, forcing him back towards tony. blayd said "tony, go for it!"

Tony grinned eagerly and punched his fist to his palm, "I was hopin' you'd say that, buddy!"
Tony wrapped his arms around the snake. And it tried to bite at him. He wrestled with it for a few minutes before tying it in a tight knot.
"Let's see if you can you sssslither outta that one." He said smiling and rubbing his hands together.
He thought for a moment, "Hey Blayd, any ideas what to do with this guy now?"

Pandora who had been watching everything eyed the snake and smirked. " I say you should tie him up in another knot Tony. Then I say we ask what Apollo wants done with him. This is his temple after all."

"I like your idea," Tony said as he tied the snake in another knot. "I hope it makes up for me y'know, sorta bumping into to his pillar...." sweatdrop Tony looked at the pillar which was broken and gulped.

"Wow Tony that was pretty awesome wrestling," She said genuinely proud of her big brother. "Don't worry I'm sure Apollo would understand after all with that much sugar I think anyone would be crazy... Speaking of which..."
Archie is wiggling on his back batting his legs in the air in euphoria. 4laugh "Heehee!"
Calli had to laugh, "Archie, quit fooling around we're about to meet Apollo."

Pandora glanced over at Cali and Archie and smiled impishly. " CAli you could always toss him in the water. Cats hate water and that should snap him out of his sugar high."

a great light flashed and when it died down, a handsome glowing youth appeared out of it, he seemed no older than twenty, but all could see by his clothes and the bow that he carried that it was apollo. he said to them "you have all done well, but let the snake free, i will see that it returns to Tartoros. all is forgiven, this temple is of little importance, the humans left it long ago to ruin, noone worships here, and it is therefore no longer my home on earth." as he said this a look of regret crossed his face for the slightest moment, but he quickly gathered himself. he said to the blayd "approach, my son"

Pandora couldn't help but understand his dissapointment. After all growing up on the streets she understood what he meant about this place no longer being his home. SHe was slightly dissapointed that the snkae was going to get untied but that was probably because she had never cared for snakes. SHe smiled fondly as Blayd apporached his father.

Tony tried to glance at Apollo when he was talking but it was almost like trying to look at the sun.
Tony thought it was kind of sad that people left Apollo's temple and it wasn't his home anymore. Poor guy, though I'm glad I'm off the hook for that pillar When he heard Apollo tell him to set the snake free Tony untied the snake and gave it to Apollo.
