A Not So Evil God In Fate/Grand Order

"Two...Euryale?" While the little girls were looking at each other, frozen, the big guy was confused, seeing another person resembling the Goddess he has been with for some time now.

Safe to say, Sanson and Altera weren't precisely thrilled, seeing that Euryale was a carbon copy of Stheno. They at least hoped for her not to be the same as her sister personality-wise.

Now that they were in a state where no one did anything, Seth felt the time was right to do the introductions or whatever. Motioning for the Chimera to lower its body, the group got off to face their potential allies on equal ground. That was, of course, without taking into account the Minotaur's massive height of almost three meters.

As soon as Stheno's feet touched the ground, she immediately began walking in Euryale's direction, with the other girl doing the same.

The Minotaur didn't know how to act. He positioned himself in a stance ready for combat in case it was needed. He followed little Goddess closely to protect her from harm. The big guy also wanted to know what was happening and why the other girl looked similar to Euryale.

Altera, Sanson, and Seth also followed Stheno. She was annoying and liked to cause troubles, but that didn't mean they would let her die.

The moment the two were face to face, they extended their hands forward at the same time until they were touching. It was as if you were looking at the reflection of a mirror.

Neither of the two could believe it. Euryale, in particular, felt as if she was dreaming. The truth is, she had also felt Stheno's presence the moment the Chaldeans arrived at the island, but she thought it was maybe a misconception, that she missed her so much her longing was playing with her mind.

However, looking at the small girl in front of her, there was no mistaking it. She was her sister, the one who had been with her and Medusa on that island for so long. The three shared so many memories, both good and bad, but despite everything, they always stuck together.

After so many years, which felt like an eternity, they finally reunited. Unknowingly to Euryale, small tears formed at the corner of her eyes. She wasn't one to usually be like this, because what people expected of her was to smile and be someone perfect, but she couldn't help it.

When the jealousy of Athena made Medusa escape to that island, she and Stheno went together with her without hesitation. Even when her sister was becoming a monster little by little, they were still by her side.

Sadly, they couldn't overcome one thing, and that was time. The three sisters eventually disappeared, like everyone in this life does. She thought that was going to be the end of it, but who knew she would be able to meet one of her sisters once again.

Overcome by emotions, Euryale separated their hands and gave her a hug filled with the feelings she wanted to convey to her sister. She silently sobbed, trying to unsuccessfully hide the happiness of meeting one of the two most precious people in her life again after so long.

Stheno's character wouldn't allow her to be as emotional as Euryale was right now. That didn't mean she didn't feel the same as her sister, though. Quite the contrary, being the elder sister, she was the happiest to reunite with her.

Without hesitation, she reciprocated the hug. Finally, they were together. How many years? How many years were they separated? She didn't know, and it didn't matter right now. Perhaps, she was the one who suffered the most without the rest being aware of it. As the elder sister, she was supposed to protect the other two from any harm that befell them. However, she failed, or at least she thought she did. Stheno felt as if it was primarily her fault. Sometimes, it is not enough with "just being there," but you also have to act when someone you hold dear suffers.

The purple-haired Goddess hoped, maybe even more than Euryale, to also reunite with Medusa and to...say sorry. She genuinely wanted to apologize. It was going to be difficult taking into account her personality, but in her way, she wanted—No, she wished to let Medusa know how much sorry she was.

The others just stayed silent, letting them have their moment. Even if Seth never had something like this, that didn't mean he couldn't understand what they were feeling, so he decided to wait for them to finish hugging before returning to what mattered.

The Minotaur did the same. Although his intelligence was not to the level of someone his age, he had common sense. The fact Euryale was crying made him feel slightly conflicted, though. He didn't like to see her that way, but he also understood it was not a bad thing.

The two sisters kept hugging for a while. They truly needed it after everything they have gone through.

When they separated, Euryale wiped her tears away before looking at the people who came with her sister. "Who are these people? Your new toys?" The way she phrased it was not the best, but not too farfetched coming from the little demon's sister.

"Ara? What do you mean by that? I would never consider people like toys, you know?" Stheno gave her sister a smile that wasn't one. It was not a pleasant thing to say to someone who you have not seen for so long.

"N-No... It was nothing." Fighting against Stheno when she gave her "that look" was something the middle sister knew not to do.

"Euryale...who...her?" Now that she wasn't hugging the other girl anymore, the Minotaur decided to ask at last. Even though a metallic mask covered his face, the others could feel his confusion.

"This is my elder sister, Stheno. We may look similar, but be sure not to confuse me with her, okay?" It was not like it hadn't happened before, so a warning was much needed.

"I... wouldn't. Euriale...unique." There was some shyness in his voice, something you wouldn't expect from a "monster" with an imposing height like his.

It was clear to everyone that formulating words wasn't his forte. However, he could communicate what he wanted to say with some effort.

"Fufufu~ Glad you think so." Euryale smiled at the big guy, pleased with his answer. Despite the difference in size, they got along pretty well.

"Ahem...mind introducing your...friend to us, me?" Stheno wasn't very fond of this pink world they were creating around her. Even though she already knew who the man in front of them was, it was simple courtesy.

"Sheesh, there is no need to hurry. I, this is Asterios. Asterios, this is I." The others found weird how they called themselves, but they didn't let that bother them. When they looked at the Minotaur, Asterios, he tried to hide behind Euryale, feeling a little timid by the stares.

Altera and Sanson had to admit it. The guy looked nothing like the monster depicted in myth. Only the two sisters and Seth knew that it was true. That's not to say that he held the entire blame. In the end, he was just a boy that his father abandoned in a labyrinth to fend for himself—a boy who never knew love.

"Hello..." Asterios finally greeted them after Euryale nudged him. He wasn't used to these people yet, proved by him not being completely relaxed.

"Now, how might these people be?" Euryale had already introduced her companion to her sister, so it was her turn. She never took Stheno for the type to like being in someone's company other than them, that's why she was a little surprised.

Stheno smiled smugly. She then got closer to Euryale's ears and whispered something. Seth, who could hear what she was saying quite well, had the urge to facepalm. This girl only knew how to cause trouble.

Euryale's eyes widened for a bit before she smiled in a teasing manner. The future suddenly looked bleak for the black-haired man.

"I, let me introduce you to our absent fa—I mean my Master, a pitiful Assassin, and a homewrecker." It wouldn't be Stheno if she portrayed them in a good light.

"Master...can I kill this pest?" Her patience with this girl was running out faster than one could blink. If they didn't teach her a lesson, she would never learn how to behave appropriately.

"Jeez. What's with you? Is that the way you treat your step-daughters?" It seems Euryale hoped on in the Altera bullying train. However, she got the opposite effect of what she d.e.s.i.r.ed.

"Da-Da-Daughters...?!" The white-haired girl stuttered with a blush across her face. It was completely different from how she had been just seconds ago. Altera was present when Stheno spoke to Seth like he was her father, and she also saw how angry he got at that time. Yet, now, if there was no problem in them calling him father, and they called themselves her step-daughters, then that meant she and him were—And now she was a mom?! 'No! Stop acting again, my inner demons!'<span></span>

Altera looked as if she had suffered a short-circuit with all the smoke that was oozing from her head. Her emotional intelligence couldn't keep up with what was happening.

Stheno looked at Euryale with disappointment. They were supposed to test her patience, not make her "happy" like that. It seems she was too young to enter the business.

The middle sister looked away, not resisting the power behind Stheno's gaze. It wasn't supposed to go like this!

Deciding to put an end to this clown act of theirs, Seth spoke for the first time since they got here. "Now that introductions are over, I have a proposal to make. How about joining us? I will spare you the details, but we are here to "correct" this place, so we need as much help as we can."

There was no need to make the offer, as it was evident that Euryale would go with Stheno without a second thought. After reuniting, he didn't think they would want to separate again.

As for Asterios...he would follow Euryale to the ends of the world, by the looks of it. Even so, making an "official" offer wouldn't hurt.

"Coming from you, there is no way I can't refuse. I'm sure Asterios thinks the same. However..." What started as the usual teasing tone transformed into a serious one in a heartbeat. "There are people who are after me, and now that "I" is here too, she has become a target. I also wouldn't find it weird if they somehow attempted to capture you."

Stheno narrowed her eyes; she didn't like this, not one bit. The little Goddess had enough of people coming after them on that island. She didn't want another event like that to happen again.

'A hunt of Divine beings? What for?' Seth tried to come up with a reason as to why "they" would come after them, but nothing came to mind.

"Is it the reason you are hiding here? And who are them?" First things first, they needed to know who were their persecutors.

"Yes. Asterios was the one who protected me by summoning this labyrinth as well as creating a Bounded Field around the island. As for who we are against, they are The Hero of the Trojans, Hector, The Witch of Betrayal, Medea, and a creepy pirate and his crew." Well, that sure looked promising.

Seth got something out of this, at least. If the Grail summoned Greek Heros of old, then that means that guy was also here—or will be. That would explain the reaction of his side that belonged to Typhon.

Coming out of his thoughts, he spoke to both Euryale and Asterios. "Don't worry. I will do everything in my power to protect both of you. Besides, fighting other spear users is always good to avoid getting my skills from deteriorating." A spear capable of piercing through everything, he couldn't help but have some anticipation.

"Then I will take you up on your offer." They had sealed the deal. Now it was time to get out of this place and find the others. There was a chance of the enemy having followed Euryale to this island, so there was no time to waste. Heroes from the Age of the Gods were on a different scale, after all.
