Bertha and Chris found themselves immersed in a world of high-stakes gambling and elegance as they played at the Regency Casino Mont Parnes, which is known for its lavish atmosphere. Not only did the casino on the side of Mount Parnitha give the chance to win big, but it also provided a breathtaking view over the city of Athens and the natural scenery in the surrounding area. They could not help but experience a sense of anticipation as they strolled through the exquisite corridors and heard the low murmur of people engaged in games of chance as they did so.
Bertha, well-versed in the art of Blackjack, was ready to take on the challenges of the night. There was a palpable sense of excitement and the temptation of luxury in the air. They had been directed to this establishment by Bruce, their guide and connection to the world of the Greek gods. This establishment has profound ties to the pantheon associated with Athena.
They had no idea that the burgeoning heavenly drama involving Kyn, Gaia, and Athena would soon become intricately entwined with their presence in this aristocratic haven. On that fateful mid morning spent at the casino, the threads of fate were being woven in ways that no one could have anticipated.
As Bertha settled into her game of blackjack, her thoughts meandered through the labyrinth of questions and uncertainties that surrounded Kyn. She couldn't help but ponder the enigmatic fate that seemed to protect him from the typical consequences faced by hunters. In a universe teeming with hunters and hunted, Kyn had carved out a unique path.
Gaia, a powerful player not just on Earth but throughout the cosmos, was typically a force to be reckoned with. Yet, for reasons known only to her, she had taken an unexpected interest in Kyn. Furthermore, Nyx, another formidable deity, had chosen to become part of the intricate tapestry of his existence. These two goddesses were entities of chaos, and their favor wasn't something to be taken lightly.
Chris, on the other hand, represented a more typical outcome for a hunter. The universe had a way of seeking balance, and hunters often faced challenges and threats from the very entities they pursued. However, Kyn's situation was far from typical, and Bertha couldn't help but feel that he(Kyn) had stumbled into a cosmic whirlpool of events that defied explanation. While she considered these mysteries, the cards were dealt, and her focus returned to the game at hand.
As the game progressed into the fourth round, Darius, the genie dealer, began to doubt the extraordinary winning streak that Bertha had been enjoying. Unlike Chris, who had managed to win just one game out of the three, the house was taking a considerable loss with Bertha's consecutive victories.
With a sense of caution, Darius called for a new deck of cards, hoping to turn the tide and regain some control over the game. The deck change was often a dealer's last resort when facing a particularly fortunate player. As the new cards were shuffled and dealt, the atmosphere around the blackjack table brimmed with anticipation, with both the dealer and the player well aware of the stakes at hand.
As Bertha continued her winning streak at the blackjack table, her thoughts wandered to the unusual ease with which Kyn had been progressing on his mission to transport Gaia to Athens. Her master, Diogenes, had entrusted her with a task that was supposed to be challenging and discreet, yet it had turned out to be unexpectedly straightforward. Kyn had effortlessly made his way from the tower to Athena's side, and apart from a minor encounter with the scylla, their journey had been remarkably quiet.
Bertha couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. "This is too quiet, even for a guy blessed by the gods," she mused, contemplating the situation. She pondered the notion of what kind of karma Kyn had built for himself, and whether this unusual turn of events was a sign of things to come.
As Bertha examined her cards, she couldn't help but marvel at the seemingly inexhaustible well of luck that had been favoring their group. Their journey from Maroneia had become a testing ground for their fortune, and Kyn, in particular, appeared to possess the luck of kings. She hadn't lost a single game at the casino, and her streak was affecting her companions, especially Chris, who had just claimed victory in a game.
The atmosphere at the blackjack table was becoming increasingly charged with a sense of amazement and curiosity, as they wondered whether this remarkable luck would continue to accompany them on their quest.
In the midst of the city's bustling market, Kyn found himself dragged into an unexpected shopping spree by Jasmine, Flora, and Athena. They were on a mission to find the perfect dress, which seemed to involve browsing various stalls and shops, from h&M to Victoria Secrets. Kyn couldn't help but feel somewhat bewildered by the whole situation, especially considering that the credit card Bertha had provided him with earlier appeared to have an endless supply of funds. Judging by the way the three devils kept on shopping he was lost for stats.
While the goddesses enthusiastically explored the market for the latest fashions, Kyn couldn't shake the nagging feeling that their motives ran deeper than just selecting new outfits. He was also preoccupied with the complicated situation of now having not one, but three powerful and enigmatic women in his life, each with her unique agenda and demands.
The two Gaia's wanted to be loved but Athena's motive felt different, weird in a sense, 'Just what did she mean by an avatar of herself. Does someone want to seal her in a mortals body? Just what did she mean.' as he was busy thinking to himself. The three had subconsciously lead him into linger stall, Jasmine taking the chance to cut him of his daydreaming picked up a red laced body suit and looked up at Kyn innocently.
