To the Stars- Chapter 3: 4 Down, 8 To Go

Passalus thought the music made climbing more enjoyable. Some new country band was experiencing a meteoric rise to fame in the Grand Ol' Oprey thanks to their lead singer. His unprecidented talent was being called a gift from God. In fact, he was a god. However, Passalus cared a lot more about a certain possession of this god then he did about his voice.

"Stop humming, you'll give us away!" whispered his brother Acmon. "I don't want to get caught again. Remember the last time that happened?"

Passalus did remember that. How could he not. A long time ago in Ancient Greece him and his brother were the best thieves around. Then, they got caught Heracles. He eventually let them go, but Zeus decided it would be a good idea to turn them into monkeys. Now, the two brothers were stuck as monkeys, dying and reforming for all eternity. Luckily they could still reason, think, and talk like humans, but they were still stuck in the bodies of monkeys. But now, thanks to Corey Summers and Ouranos, they had a chance to strike back at the gods.

They jumped from catwalk to catwalk, making they're way towards the back of the famous theater. They got back stage with ease and, keeping careful to remain out of sight, made their way towards Apollo's dressing room. When they got there, they found the door unlocked.

They snuck into the room and went to Apollo's desk. Like an idiot, Apollo had left his Golden Bow, his symbol of power, lying there for the taking. Acmon snatched it and, as planned, dropped the pin with a picture of a caduceus onto the ground to make it look as if the thief had accidentally dropped it.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps from the hall. Quickly, they hid, Acmon in the closet and Passalus under the couch. Apollo entered the room with a smile on his. "We rocked tonight!" he exclaimed. His smile faded when he noticed that his bow was gone. "What the-" he stopped mid-sentence when he saw the caduceus pin lying on the ground. "Hermes." He said with disdain. "You've finally crossed the line this time." With that, he stormed angirily from the room.

The monkey-brothers came out of hiding. "Well," said Passalus with a smile, "We've got 4 Olympians angry at each other. 8 more to go."
