Hell Reverse - Part 10

18, First April

"What's wrong with you." Jinx yanked a chair back across the floor, ignoring the insufferable screech it produced. Setesh dragged his head off the table long enough to glare at the demigod before dropping it back into the safety of his arms.

Jinx didn't even flinch. He was a repeat target for dirty looks, and Jinx was almost sure he could describe Setesh's not quite consistent resemblance to a five year old with some success.

"Did you try to break into the Inn again?"

"That soul belongs to me." Setesh's voice was somewhere between a hiss and a grumble, radiating power through the area.

"Well," Jinx threw a tooth pick at him. "You sure don't act like it."

"Fuck you."

"Hey, I'm not the one that got beat by a mortal." There was a crackle in the air. Jinx ignored it. "Hell, she isn't even in her majority yet."

"She's Virtue's daughter-"

"And what difference does that make?" Jinx frowned as his hair decided it was a perfect time to stick out in all directions. "You're a god and you got outsmarted-"

"Don't. Finish. That."

"-by a kid."

There was a deafening boom within the building, and Jinx saw nothing but white for a very long time.
