3rd Person POV -
After regaining consciousness the fat man tried to take the contract but Mephisto did not gave him the rolled paper instead he waved his hand and made the man forget everything they talked about and left.
He knew that the son of Odin will be coming so he did not go too far. He started making plans of how to deal with this situation. There are not many things that he can make a trade with. He was still thinking when the space in front of him rippled and portal opened.
From this portal came a man. A man so regal and handsome that the words can't define him. He did not said anything just stood there and looked at mephisto with a small smile gracing his lips. He did not looked angry.
Mephisto said,'' If I am not wrong then you must be Perseus Odinson''
Yes the man in front of him is no one else but Percy. He said, '' Perseus OdinFriggason.''
Mephisto hummed like he just remembered something, '' Oh yes! Now I recall you did add the name of your mother in your name. Well Lord Perseus, as you might have already know I am Mephisto. The lord of hell. ''
Perseus said,'' Yes I do know you. But the question is why are you trying to steal something that belongs to me.''
Mephisto said, '' Do not misunderstand me Lord Perseus. I have no intention of being your enemy. It is just I was uninformed of your acquisition of Underworld.
As such I did not know what I was doing. And I was just following the terms I have set with the Sorccerrer supreme before you become the king of underworld.''
Perseus said,'' I am not an unreasonable person Lord Mephisto. I do understand that you have not done anything to create any kind of animosity between us.
But I also understand that you will not and can not let go of the things you have been doing till now. Firstly because these souls are the source of your power and secondly because you yourself are bound to those sins that you manipulate. Your greed for all these souls will not let you stop.
So maybe you have not done anything that made you my enemy but you will. ''
Mephisto was silent for a while. He was thinking what to do. Because he knows this time it may not be a big deal because of his unawareness but it will not be the case next time. So he said,'' So why not we make an contract. ''
Perseus smiled at this and said, '' A deal, a contract. It is always about this for you. Isn't it.''
Mephisto said, ''Maybe. So what do you say?''
Perseus replied, '' A deal is made when two people wants something from each other. What could I possibly want from you. Wealth - I am the God of wealth. Power - I am an OdinFriggason. I was born with it.
So I can't think of anything I want from you. Then what deal are you talking about. ''
This time Mephisto smiled. Because he knows the perfect thing that he can make a deal with. He said,'' I had somethings you will like. As the Rest of the spirit of Vengeance. A small part of the power of Cthon and some other things. ''
Well that got the attention of percy. These things he mentioned are really can be used by percy. He said,'' Although you say it. But you do not have either of those things in your capacity right now. I can feel the spirit of Vengeance in the far area of north from here. And the power of Cthon well it is unstable as of now isn't it. So right now you are empty handed.''
Mephisto was surprised not by the news that he can sense the spirit of vengeance but that he knew the unstable power of Cthon. But he is not the Lord of Hell for nothing, he did not let his surprise be shown on his face. He said,'' Maybe I do not have those things for now but I will have them. So we can make the deal then.''
Perseus hummed like he was amused and pretended to be thinking but instead he was talking to Anna. He asked, ' Wise Girl what do we do now?'
Anna thought for a while and said, ' Percy right now we are in a path to make our own kingdom. So it is not a good choice to make an enemy. So agree to the deal but do not give him a definite answer. Tell him to come to him when he have those things.'
Percy replied,' Okk'
Then percy turned towards Mephisto and said,''Ok, we can have a deal but we will discuss it when you will have either of those things. Till then you can't make a contract. ''
Mephisto smiled and said,''Of course Lord Perseus. '' although he was delayed for now. But he can wait.
After saying this percy left the same way he came. Mephisto waited for a while then he also left. He can't have a deal for now.
Perseus POV-
After leaving Mephisto I did not go to Vanaheim but came to Kamar- Taj to express my gratitude to Ancient One. The moment I cross the portal, the scene in front of me made a grin come at my face. I raised my right hand. Because in front of me is the back of Yao. She is reading a book.
Before I can bring my hand down to the perfect spot she said, '' Put down your hand.''
She must have sensed me or seen me from the Time stone. She again said,'' I sensed you. I stopped using time stone to see the future. After getting the Symbiote the peoples of Kamar taj are mainly safe so I stopped using it.
Now it just warn me of any problems when they occur.''
I said,'' Okk. Well I am here to say Thank you. Because you stopped him before he can make the contract. So thank you.''
She replied,'' No it's alright. I do not want a war between both of you to happen on earth. It will be dangerous for the people here.''
I went towards her and looked in her eyes and said,'' I don't know if you believe me or not. But I will never endanger the life of innocents. I have taken an oath to protect them. And I don't break my words.''
She was silent for a while and said,'' Actually on this topic I do believe you.''
