"A Girl's Night Out"<br/><br/>Dionysus was not an all-seeing god.  Nor was he hooked into The Fates.  He was not associated with an Oracle like Zeus or multiple Oracles like Apollo.  However, his restaurant and his lounge were an extension of himself and he was aware of everyone that set foot in his place, like how a cat is aware of the disturbance of a single hair on its body.  Therefore, Dion knew when an elevator had arrived from a more "uncommon" location.  Dion was surprised, however, when he detected an unfamiliar and very "fresh" presence.  The God of Wine and Madness immediately walked out from behind the bar sought out the newcomer.<br/><br/>However, there was another god in Dion's, who was hooked into The Fates.  It was Apollo.  And while he wasn't privy to exactly what was going to happen this time, he knew that something had changed on the planet and it was happening here, tonight.<br/><br/>Dion saw her.  A beautiful young woman with curly titian-brown hair.  Her skin was a soft light bronze color.  Her eyes were the dark brown of the fertile earth and her lips were like ripe red grapes.  She was uncertain of her situation but there was a familiar resolve at her core, which she got from her father.  She also had her mother's figure.  Which meant that she could conceivably entice another god into a rash action.  And Apollo was here....<br/><br/>The wine god allowed the glamour of his human looking disguise to fracture ever so slightly that some of his godly essence could shine through to the eyes of the newcomer.  She would be twenty-three years old by now.  Dionysus smiled at Kairós and said, "Welcome to my lounge, daughter of Hades and Persephone.  Will you accept my hospitality and protection?"<br/><br/>(To be continued....)
