CYOA 3 Part 4: Aphrodite Visits! (Patreon)

Just like every time that he had seen her, Aphrodite was nothing short of beautiful. Her hair kept changing color as if it was a rainbow kaleidoscope how it kept shifting from one color to another. 

 Though she would never be the most beautiful woman as far as he was concerned. 

'Though never going to let her hear that,' Percy thought. 'That way would just lead to one angry goddess.'

With her permission, Percy allowed himself to relax on his hammock, but still braced himself. Considering how quickly the gods were willing to pull him out of retirement despite his wishes, he knew that it was going to be another quest. 

"This one is something that I thought didn't need all the big hubbub and could just be a quick one-on-one. And besides, you might be happier that it is kept that way."

Percy forced himself not to grimace at her words. He gripped his hands tighter and breathed through his nose. 

'This is not going to go well for me,' Percy thought, wishing that he could just hide in his dad's domain. 

"So what is it that I can help you with Lady Aphrodite?" Percy questioned, wondering what sort of monster he might be facing this time. 

Aphrodite smiled and despite knowing how some; people would gladly kill each other for it, Percy gulped and readied himself for something.
