*In Dynodes*
Athenios had just come from the mountains after an intense training session with Methios and Zargreus when he walked into the compound. The three eldest brothers had been doing everything they could to keep themselves occupied and distracted for the last few weeks since all the unsuccessful events of the underworld and brutal training sessions that went on for sixteen hours of the day were part of that routine.
It was also a good way to avoid the one thing they seemed to have in common lately, Leodocus.
There was no need to dress up the fact that they blamed him for everything that went wrong. Even though there was no way any of them could have known it was happening at the time but as soon Leo's personal feelings got involved everything had gone to hell. Perhaps if they had some kind of foreshadowing they would have made sure he was kept at arm's length at all cost but nothing had prepared them.
