Asteria
Asteria, goddess of the stars, was fascinated by these mortals and the devices they had to view the stars. She was currently at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. She was looking through the telescope after having chased off the mortals.

	Trying to find Cronus was like searching for a giant needle in a even larger haystack. However, he got the information on Asteria while he was out and raced into the observatory to meet the Titan. "The stars are beautiful, aren't they?" he asks, leaning against a door. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Not as beautiful as you are," Eli whispers in Jai's ear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Yes they are,” Asteria said not taking her focus away from the stars she was looking at. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Seriously, dude?" Kid Flash says, turning to look at Eli. "You better be sober, man." he says, looking back at Asteria. "So, let me ask this up front: Is there any way we can get you to go in peace and not terrorize these people, Asteria? These people don't deserve to be attacked or hurt." he says.

	Eli? Sober? Well, it does happen on occasion, but right now it seems like he's running on drunk. Helpfully he mutters to Jai, "She's a titian, they don't run on the same moral grounds that humans do. Like coffee and soda. Go in peace yus, but deserve not to be attacked, might not work."

	“I have neither attack nor hurt anyone here,” Asteria said still looking through the telescope, “I was going to leave here of my own accord when the night was finished.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jai had to go with what he could see thus far. Asteria hadn't actually attacked anyone, as far as he could see. If she wasn't going to hurt anyone, then there was no reason to start a fight.

"All right, if you're not going to attack anyone, then we'll see what we can do about getting everyone to leave you alone for the night. Then you go back to wherever the Titans come from and we all go about our business." Jai says.

"Can we agree on that as a fair deal?" he asks.

	"If you'd like some company, I'm sure we could help with that too," Eli offers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“That’s quite alright but I enjoy being by myself, my relatives could be quite annoying,” Asteria said, “But when this night is over I shall go back to my stars again.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-10-16 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"Then we won't get in your way, Asteria. My girlfriend really likes the stars, too. She wants to study them when she's older. She gets the same look in her that you do when she's stargazing." Jai says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-10-16 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Softly, though perhaps not so softly that the titian can't hear, Eli says, "Stars are where the bad things came from." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_titansofmyth 2010-10-16 02:39 am UTC (link)
	“Bad things do not come from stars though they can foretell of such things,” Asteria said turning her head away from the telescope with inhuman speed. Her eye shone like the twinkling of starlight. Then she addressed Jai directly, “For that young one you have my sympathy.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-10-16 02:44 am UTC (link)
	Jai looked a bit taken aback by Asteria's sudden interest in him. He really hoped that Eli hadn't just said something to piss her off. "What do you mean by that?" he asks cautiously. He doesn't want to offend her, but he suddenly doesn't like that look in her eye at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-10-16 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"She saw something bad in the stars." Duh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_titansofmyth 2010-10-16 03:10 am UTC (link)
	For a moment she thought of just asking them to leave like they had said but they were fighting off her less pleasant relatives. “You will suffer lose great than any you have ever known,” Asteria said before adding something she thought would be a little more pleasant, “But known this Gemini born under Virgo at least your love is not crossed by the stars.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-10-16 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Jai stood there in shock. What did she mean? What would he lose? Or who? "Asteria, please. Can you tell me more? What will I lose? Or who? Please say you don't mean my parents, or Iris." Jai pleads. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-10-16 03:53 am UTC (link)
	Eli just sort of giggles and says. "Give her a kiss. I'm sure she'll want to talk more after that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_titansofmyth 2010-10-16 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Asteria moved back to look through the telescope. “Knowing would not change the outcome,” she said considering very much making the other one extremely sober. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-10-16 04:35 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, I don't believe that's true, Asteria. I could /do/ something if I had more information. Anything you could tell me would help. Please." he pleads again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2010-10-19 01:42 am UTC (link)
	Eli's thinking about those Greek tragedies right now. Things about people killing their fathers and marrying their mothers. He tugs lightly on Jai's arm. "You know, unless you want to be doing some all weird incest thing, I'd leave it go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_titansofmyth 2010-10-19 01:58 am UTC (link)
	“All I’ve say is this then I would like you to leave so I can look at my beautiful stars like you said,” Asteria said looking through the telescope, “You should do all the things you show all of them how much you care for them.” Then to the other one. “You should not drink and do drugs so much.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

No.

No.

Someone he loved was going to die. He couldn't let that happen.

"Thank you, Asteria. I'm not going to let anyone I love get hurt. Eli, let's go." Jai says.

"We'll get the people to leave her alone tonight and see where else we can help. Then I'm going to make sure Traya, Iris and my parents are all okay." Jai says, wanting to run to all of them right this second, but knowing he can't.

He has to keep his word to Asteria first.

	Eli would feel sorry for Jai, but everyone he knew and love died already. In horrible painful ways. Though perhaps evaporation isn't so painful. He just gives Jai a dull-eyed look and a flick of his wings. "Yeah, sure. Nuke em all from orbit," he mutters. (Reply to this)(Parent)
