[Hereafter] Chapter LVI: Heart of the Mountain
🕑 Added 2022-06-07 08:35:26 +0000 UTCNormally, I like to give the editors more of a chance to rip into a chapter before it goes out, but this weekend stole too much of my time and energy, so this is already later than I would have liked it to be. As a result, it may be lacking a little bit of polish that it will probably get in the next few days.
In the meantime, everything important is already in the chapter, so enjoy.
Yes, by the way. I actually did look up where on the slopes of Mount Etna this lava tube could have feasibly been placed. No, I didn't really find a real one in my search, but I figured I could be forgiven for fudging this particular detail. It's not like I moved Etna off of Sicily or something. Or invented a major mountain wholesale.
I had a joke about lava being dumped on the team's heads, but it started venturing too far out of joke territory and into a legitimate concern, so I axed it. I think the replacement works just as well.
EDIT: Moving down.

PHH?

So it's supposed to be. How that jives with everything the Olympians did during PHH's Age of Gods, well...

I was under the impression he’d been a mere Divine Spirit going on 12,000 years now.

That’s a concerning end to the chapter … Hmmmm.
Caractacus
Virtually nil. Not only is the Age of Gods over and mystery rapidly fading all across the continent, but Hephaestus at this point would be a mere Divine Spirit. Finding his forge would be one thing. The guy himself? He's long gone. But Da Vinci has very good reason to be so surprised.
Raphael Mort
Over/Under on Hepheastus being dormant inside Etna, and they just woke him up?

Rika should...lava...it alone.
