"Umm..." he said, a little slow on the thinking part right now. This whole thing was throwing himself off balance. They were receiving a lot of stares. Yes, Saber was dressed like a women and that would draw a lot of attention, but there were also plenty of people checking the other male out. Luckily for them, none seemed brave enough to step forward. "Yes. We have our boulder." He said, leading the two up a mountain path.

'You must have a natural allure to mortals.' He teased, looking up at him. 'Must be your eyes.' He purred; rather almost literally, his voice taking on a pleasant chime. When they got to their spot, Saber looked around and nodded. 'This is the place.' He agreed, smiling at him, more serious now. 'But... what do we do? Sit and wait for him to find us?'

Bion shook his head at Saber's ridiculous...teasing though his cheeks flushed slightly. "Yeah right, you know they were all looking at you," He said, rolling his eyes. Bion unclipped his bow from his back and shook his head. "The minotaur might not approach if he sees me. I picked out a nearby tree to sit in." He pointed towards a tall oak not too far away. He started to walk away but stopped. Fear had suddenly grabbed the young man. His bow shook slightly in his hands only to be steadied a second later. "Are you ready?" He asked, trying not to stutter.

The Demigods blue gaze became cool as water. 'I'm ready.' He calmly replied, nodding at him encouragingly. He sat down in front of the boulder and plucked a few blades of grass. After a while of waiting he'd made a grass whistle, and began to gently play; he was happy that he knew how to make them... that his memory did not forget things he realised must be normal to his muscles. He must like music, he realised, smiling wider and continuing to play. Soon, night began to fall.

Bion just nodded and walked away. He soon disappeared into the tree. He crouched on a branch, both wishing today wouldn't be windy and he wouldn't slip. He kept his eyes on the lookout for any movement. As night fell, Bion's legs ached and he bit his lip. He should have just sat down if he knew they would be waiting this long. The birds had stopped chirping. Bion frantically looked around for any since of the awaited beast. Then he heard a large clomp like what a donkey make when walking down a rocky path. Well, if the donkey was a bodybuilder, that would be the sound. Bion looked down to take a deep breath and relax himself, but found the minotaur was right below him on the ground. While the beast's breathes came out in loud huffs, Bion held his. He had never heard of a minotaur having great vision but Bion wasn't exactly hidden. He glanced up, hoping Saber had spotted it too.

Saber had indeed spotted it, but kept playing instead of panicking; his blue eyes were icy and focused on the beast. When it looked up, he tensed, gently changing the tune of the whistle to a shriller pitch. 'It's huge,' he thought to himself- he couldn't remember if he had seen him before, but he had a strange feeling that he had. He got to his feet as the Minotaur came closer, big snout snorting as it smelled him.

Bion notched an arrow but did not pull back. He watched carefully, waiting for the minotaur to charge. With a stomp of his large hooves, the minotaur charged. It's horns were lowered and ready to sink into Saber's flesh. Bion pulled back, ready to fire. As long as Saber got out of the way, they would be golden.

Saber froze as it charged, fear rising in his body. At the last second before the Minotaur hit, he dived out of the way, and a shuddering crash sounded out as the monster ran straight into the boulder. He picked up the skirts of his dress and sprinted away from it, hoping it had knocked itself out from the collision, and that Bion could take it out.

Bion's pupils narrowed and breath slowed as he aimed at the beast's head. He let the arrow fly seconds after the Minotuar hit. The arrow made home in the neck of the beast, severing it's spine. In seconds, no noise came from the monster. Bion watched the body but found no signs of life. The male relaxed and let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding. He smiled. Gods, it was accelerating. He felt a rush of power. The first time, when he had thrown the dagger, had been out of pure fear for his and Saber's life. But this hunt was much more exciting. He looked around but found nothing else on the ground but Saber. He frowned but sheathed his bow. Bion's smile did come back when he saw Saber running with his skirts held up. He quickly jumped down from the tree. "What a lovely lady I have saved. Do I get a reward?" He teased, still wearing his smile.

Saber raised an eyebrow as he released his skirts, before stepping forwards and planting a gentle kiss on Bion's lips, and then stepping back again. 'Most warriors receive a kiss.' He said, trying to hide a playful smile. 'Or you could have had a silken handkerchief, but unfortunately I'm not carrying one.' The Minotaur's body swiftly disintegrated into dust, the substance blowing away on the wind.

All of Bion's face and ears turned bright red. He was just jesting and teasing about the whole reward thing. He didn't know Saber would take it seriously. "U-umm." he said, trying to think of something to say. Thank you sounded weird and...he was thinking too much. Saber must be joking around too. "May I escort thy lady because to her inn?" he asked, with just a slight blush to his cheeks.

'Of course you may, my brave warrior.' He teased, walking with him. 'I wonder what Zeus will say.' He murmured softly.

Bion snorted at the thought of Zeus. He had probably watched all of this and wondered why in the underworld did he send these two. He had never heard any bards sing or speak about men dressing as women to fool monsters. Their loss. The minotaur seemed to fall for it. "Probably here is your memories but please leave and never speak of this again." Bion joked.

He couldn't wait to get out of his dress, it kept tripping him up and was far too floaty in his opinion. 'Maybe he'll give me all my memories back because I look pretty.' He purred.

Bion smiled. "I wouldn't. Hera is pretty powerful and known to get a little jealous. I would not try to woo her husband." He said. In all seriousness, this was true. Her a did not have a good rep among the demigods. She tended to get jealous of their attention.

Her a did not have a good rep among the demigods. She tended to get jealous of their attention. Saber sniggered. 'Can't blame her; he is very unfaithful.' He suddenly looked concerned. 'Poor woman. Not exactly her fault, is it.' He sighed, entering their room in the inn and starting to undress, not bothered if Bion saw him. His back was badly scarred, full of long streaking scars which appeared to be whip-lashes. His side appeared as if it had been deeply wounded- and then there was of course the new one on his stomach. His arms were also scarred, as were his legs- he was practically tiger-striped. (Haha cat puns)

Sorry for the wait. )
Bion nodded. He didn't think Hera's wrath was unjustified, but it usually was aimed towards the children or women of Zeus. Hera didn't really punish Zeus. He snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the rustling of fabric. "Are you-" He started looking over to see Saber changing. He froze for a second, stunned by the scaring that seemed to cover the man. Then he quickly came to his senses and looked away. No wonder the man had no fear facing those monsters. He must have seen many battles. There was no doubt the man was some kind of demigod. Maybe he got too strong and then the gods locked his memories away. But then Zeus wouldn't be helping, unless there was some ulterior motive. Who's game was this? Saber could just be a pawn the gods used against themselves. His eyes narrowed and his lips formed a thin frown as he thought. He snuck a quick glance again at Saber to see if he was finished.

He'd tugged on his trousers but hadn't bothered with a shirt, instead tiredly flopping down onto the bed. 'Man, I'm beat.' He sighed, looking up at Bion with a smile. 'I suppose we go see the big Z tomorrow, huh?' He asked. 'You really were amazing today. The shot was so clean.'

Bion nodded and opened his mouth. He snapped it shut as Saber complimented him. "Meh. That was sitting in a tree and shooting. You are actually pretty light on your feet. Must be those cat genes." He said with a slight smile. His eyes were wandering around the room as if slightly embarrassed by the comments.

'Archery takes skill and strength.' He smiled up at him brightly, his eyes shining. 'I... I had fun.'

Sorry about not being here. Midterms and other large tests are all coming up before the break so I don't have much time/energy to rp. ^^ I'll be more active on the weekend. )
Bion nodded. He didn't have fun per say, but it was exciting. The demigod couldn't deny the small thrill that sparked within him as he struck the monster down. Though, the whole thing came with large risks and such. Saber, with his experience, might be ready, but Bion wasn't ready if anything bad happened. "Let's just not make a habit of it." He said lightly. He flopped down on the bed next to Saber. With his back against the cool sheets, he was almost lured to sleep. His eye lids dropped but didn't close.

I'd rather you spend your energy studying/taking care of yourself than worrying about replying ^.^ I wish you luck! xx) 'Yes'sir.' Saber purred, smiling as he glanced at the male and trying not to laugh at his tiredness. Saber himself did not sleep for a long time, still too wound up like a spring to even think about the action. The scene of killing the Minotaur kept racing before his eyes. He breathed out slowly and closed his eyes, sliding into his thoughts as he strained to reclaim lost memories.

Thanks! )
Bion huffed. He was no 'sir'. He wasn't even close to someone who should be called a sir. The man rolled to his side so his back was facing Saber. For a second, he wounded if he should turn his back to the battle scared, transforming man, but quickly dismissed the worry. Saber wouldn't and plus, he would have had many chances by now. Bion closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
(Should we poof them to the Zeus temple? )

Bion closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. (Should we poof them to the Zeus temple? ) (Sure ^.^) Saber gazed up at the shining white and gold temple as they approached it, finding himself increasingly at ease alongside Bion. He walked inside and set down his offering; the arrow that had killed the Minotaur; and knelt. 'Lord Zeus, we have completed our quest.' He murmured. Almost immediately the powerful presence of the god filled the room, and an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. It was then that the giant gold statue of Zeus in the centre of the room moved; its head turned and it leant forwards. Saber's eyes widened with surprise and he froze. 'You have pleased me.' The statue said, it's voice booming throughout the temple. 'I will restore but a portion of your memories.' It slowly stretched out its arm, and gently pressed a large golden finger onto Saber's forehead. He released a sharp, pained gasp, closing his eyes tightly at the onslaught of memories.

Bion tensed but didn't dare move. He keep wary eyes on the god as he granted Saber back his memories. Any wrong move could make the god seal up his companion's memories for good. His hands itched to grab a dagger or really anything to protect them with but did move until the god returned to his immoveable state and the power presence left. Only then Bion returned to Saber's side. "Are you okay?" He asked. It seemed like a lame question but only the gods knew what memories Saber had gotten.

'That was strange.' He breathed. 'I- it-' he sat back. 'Can- I have a while to sort out what I've remembered?' He asked, looking up at him his body trembling.

Bion nodded. They needed to stock up on traveling supplies anyway. He felt a spark of worry that the other male was going to leave but it would be Saber's choice in the end. Bion couldn't, and wouldn't, stop Saber if he were to leave, even if Bion knew he wouldn't like it. "Just come back to the inn when you are ready." Bion said before turning and quickly walking out.

It was an hour before Saber returned, smiling nervously at Bion. 'I remember a little of my early childhood,' he said. 'But not the faces of the people involved in it. Only that they were there. I remember I have two brothers; we are triplets.' He sat down on the bed. 'I know I was put through vigorous training, possibly to become a warrior... but that's about it.'

Bion nodded. He kept his face carefully neutral. "What do you want to do now?" Bion asked slowly. He could see Saber was still adapting to the new information. Bion could see two ways to deal with this new information. They could try to find this family or go to another god. Maybe Ares since Saber is a warrior and all.
