Bion couldn't help but to laugh. This whole situation was crazy. He was stuck with a man who could turn into a cat; though, that does explain the whole eye color changing thing and the knowing about Bion being a demigod. Bion's laughing died down and once, he thought about it, Saber was probably some kind of demigod too. Demigods normally rode around fight monsters so that would explain Saber being injured. Thinking of injuries, Bion looked over at Saber. Saber did cover him and already had previous wounds, the man could have gotten hurt. A wave of guilt and embarrassment overcame him. "What about your wounds?" He asked.

Maybe Bion can be convinced they need to visit the Greek god of memories', Mnemosyne, shrine to get Saber's memories back. Then on their way, they can get side tracked by various monsters and various gods/goddesses who want their aid. )

'My wounds?' Saber asked, before quickly checking himself over; a couple of scrapes. He lifted his shirt to examine his stomach- the wound still looked ugly, but slightly better than before. 'I'm okay.' He purred, looking up at Bion. 'I didn't hurt you when I pinned you, did I?'

Bion blinked at Saber's question. Saber was the one who stopped him from getting hurt. Except for a bruised pride and some sore muscles, Bion had no wounds. "No." He said before reaching for his bag. Luckily for them, it had stayed with Bion. He pulled out a map and opened it. "What will you do now?" Bion asked, not looking up from the map. Dispite his short time with the other man, Bion knew he would be sad to see him go but it may be safer for them to split. Two demigods traveling would draw attention.
(Bion will refer to Saber as a demigod until he finds out about Saber's status. )

'I don't know who I am, or how I even ended up where I was...' he looked up at Bion, dependence in his eyes. 'I was hoping I might stay with you a little while.'

Bion looked up just in time to meet Saber's angelic, blue eyes. The man quickly looked down at the map. "Okay. Maybe we should head to a temple. We can see if they have something that can fix your memories." He decided before folding up the map and tucking it into his sack. "That is, if you want your memories back." He glanced up at Saber again.

Bion nodded while standing up. He offered the other man a small smile. "It's no problem. I've got some things to deliver in the city anyway." He made sure to circle around the part of what he was delivering. Poems for a wealthy wasn't exactly some thing impressive and he wanted to, strangely, impress Saber. "So I figure we should visit the most powerful god first, Zeus. We will see if he speaks then head to Hera and just go around." He sighed. "Let's hope they are feeling better than they usually do."
(I'm trying to think of tests that the gods would send them on. I'm figuring we can have Zeus and Hera having another dispute and Zeus needs to do something to please Hera. Maybe he sends them to kill something that had been killing off women? )

'Hopefully we won't have to do anything to strenuous to earn their favour.' He contemplated. (Ooohhh that sounds good! We'll have to find a suitable monster then )

"Of course we will. Have you heard the stories?" He said with a small frown. If they were really doing this, then Bion would need to buy a bow and a new dagger. Thankfully, Zeus's temples were always near a city. He can just go to the market to pick one up on the way.
(well there is the Chimera. Maybe a minotaur would work.) Do you want to skip to were they get to the temple? )

'Stories?' Saber questioned, starting to walk once they had pinpointed the place on the map that they were headed. 'Do you mean about the gods?'

That's fine. I'll skip us. ^^ I've ben poofy as well so it's A-Okay. )
Bion blinked. He had forgotten about how extensive the memory loss was. It was a miracle Saber had remembered his name. "Well you see, the gods like tricky challenges. There was this one time..." He started to explain some of his favorite stories.
Bion bit his lip as they entered the temple. They had passed by the market and gotten a bow, arrows, and dagger for him. It was odd carrying around such an obvious weapon, but no one seemed to mind. They probably thought he was a common hunter. Bion resisted covering his nose at the scent of incents. They were suppose to make people feel light headed. That way they would 'see' the gods, which was honestly just the haze vision of priests. In reality, if you are going to see the gods, they would be bright and flashes. The gods were top notch drama queens. "So I think, if it is the same, you just kneel and pray. If Zeus is willing, he will come to you." He said, not willing to pray himself.

He stretched slightly then knelt, and quietly asked Zeus to come to them. Almost immediately a thundercloud rolled in over the temple, sharp lighting streaking across the sky accompanied by violent rumbles of thunder. Saber shuddered as he felt the strength and aura of the temple grow; he knew Zeus was here. 'What do you desire?' Boomed a strong, deep voice. Saber released a shaky breath. 'I... I desire the knowledge which is trapped within my mind.' He breathed. 'To reclaim but a few of these memories, you must do for me a task.' Saber nervously looked back at Bion for advice.

Bion held back his mocking comments. He was doing this for Saber and mocking the lord of thunder might not be in the direction the other demigod wanted. Still, it was nagging him that Zeus, the big man of the gods, could only retrieve a couple memories. Bion took a couple of steps forward. "What is your task?" He asked, trying to sound grateful but failing. He sounded more suspicious than anything.

He asked, trying to sound grateful but failing. He sounded more suspicious than anything. 'The Minotaur runs rampant in a town not far from here; he slaughters women like cattle. You must defeat him and being to me a horn.' With that, his presence disappeared, and Saber again looked back at Bion with wide eyes. 'Oh no.' He said.

Bion sighed, which was becoming a bad habit of his. Why wouldn't the gods send them to fetch a puppy? Though, knowing them, the gods would send them to fetch Cerberus. Bion opened his mouth to ask Saber if he was up for this, but shut his mouth. The man that could turn into a man eating cat wasn't scared. He was probably more excited. Bion, however, was a bit more on the nervous side. He had never really been in a fight. He didn't count the last one because the Manticore was probably weakened by some of the villagers' weapons. This would be just them against on of the legendary beasts. "Let's head out then. We'll plan on our way there." He said already turning away from Saber.

Saber felt a shiver run up his spine and he stood. 'How are we going to defeat the Minotaur, of all things?' He mumbled to himself as he followed Zero at a slow walk, chewing his bottom lip.

"By surprise?" Bion suggested, not really sure how. He had never been in a large, real battle before. From what Bion remembered, Minotaurs were thick beasts who had horns and were very heavy. Well, if they were top heavy will all the horns and muscle, Saber could trip it or Bion could try to shoot its legs. Once on the ground, it would have lost its speed and such. "Maybe we can try to trip it?" He said with a small, prideful smile.

We'll have to lure him first into charging at one of us.'

Bion gave a nervous smile. For this to work, it would have to be Bion luring in the minotaur. Saber was much stronger so he could knock the beast down more easily than Bion's arrows. There was no guarantee it would go done after one arrow. "How so we lure him though?" Bion asked, before gnawing on his lip. The minotaur was only attracted to women according to Zeus. Bion didn't think he looked lady like. His black hair wasn't long enough and while he was thin, he didn't exactly have the shape. "Do I wear perfume and keep a cloak on?" He thought out loud.

Saber gave him a once over, then chewed his lip; he himself was far more feminine than Bion and he knew it; with his lithe figure, black hair and long lashes, if he dressed up and brushed his hair he could easily pass off as a woman. 'Perhaps we'll have to find a different way of tripping him than me running in front.' He said thoughtfully, before a deep frown furrowed his brow. 'Unless... we don't trip him. I could jump out of the way before he hits me; perhaps in front of a tree, or boulder. With any luck he'll get stuck or knock himself out, and then you can quickly make the kill.'

Bion started to think about digging a hole and having a decoy. That way, when the minotaur hit the decoy, the two would fall into the hole. But Saber plan was much more simple. "That sounds better. Though we better use a boulder just incase that guy can crush trees." He decided.
(Hmm, how could this go wrong? )

Saber blushed and smiled at Bion's acceptance of his plan. 'Great.' He said. 'And definitely a boulder. Alright... we need to find a good spot; a comb, some ribbons, and a dress. Possibly also some face-paint, if you can afford it.' He said, looking at him. 'I can apply that myself.'

Nah. Let's make this one go fairly well. That way the gods can be impressed and maybe Zeus will send them after another god/goddess that can do a better job at unlocking the memories. )
Bion nodded and held back a small smile. "It's a plan." He decided.
(Do you want to skip to the part where Saber is luring the minotaur?)

Saber examined himself in the looking glass; he'd taken to the inn-room in secret to get dressed for their quest, and Biom was waiting outside. Rolf had washed and combed his hair to silky perfection and dressed in a long, flowing dress, which hung around his ankles; it was sheen and see-through at his stomach and the sleeves. He'd applied facepaint to elongate his lashes and to redden his lips, and to add some pink colour to his cheeks. He lowered his eyelashes at himself, then nodded and headed to the door, walking out. 'How do I look?' He asked, trying for a sultry tone and a mischievous grin, tugging his dress around himself.

Bion held back a laugh as his ears flushed. Gods, Saber looked pretty girly but ridiculous. Maybe it was the fact that he had seen the man turn into a giant man-eating cat. It wasn't exactly the picture of delicacy they needed to fit. And that tone only added to the odd situation. He hid a smile behind his hand. "Very beautiful. I bet all the minotaurs would like a piece of you." He joked before lowering his hand. He really wished he could take some sort of quick picture, but sadly, that wasn't possible. "Come on. While you were changing, I found a spot." He said before turning around and starting to walk out.

Saber nodded and lifted his dress to follow, sliding his arm through Bion's, almost in hysterics himself at the absolutely ridiculous situation. 'Does it have our Boulder?' He asked, batting his eyelashes at a man who was ogling him; he quickly hurried away, and Saber revelled in the weird power he seemed to hold.
