Summary: Gods recruit their champions.
Merrily whistled, Eros moved away of the apartments of the Goddess Aphrodite to go to his home, on the other side of the compound.
Crossing the great gardens of the property, he was interrupted in his progress by a call, not far away of him.
"Eros ! So ? What she said ?
Turning to the figure sitting on the edge of one of the smallest ponds of the garden, he gave her a big smile and ran up to her before answering to her questions.
"Yes ! She said yes ! We will finally have a champion, and gifted with that ! The others will be forced to stop laughing at us now."
"It's great ! It's been so long since I expected that. At the time, they considered that my godhood was not enough important or powerful to have need of a Paladin, we will show them, to these so-called Major Gods, what is it to be really powerful." she answered overjoyed.
"Well, Mom said that I was in charge of recruitment, will you come with me ?"
"Are you sure that it doesn't pose problems ?"
"No... anyway, we go to Sunnydale, and here, no matter how you dressed or appeared, nobody will notice you ... you remember the spell, eh ?"
"Yes no problem, I brush up on this spell for many years in case I get the opportunity to use it," she added with a smile
"Perfect, then we passe by my apartments to retrieve 2-3 things and we can go."
"Oh it's true, I had prepared something for him ... I will pick it, we see to your apartment in 10 minutes ?"
"Ok... see you soon, "he answered before they separate.

Ahhhh Sunnydale !!! ... A blazing sun, a dreadful drought and, of course, its horrible constant smell of inter-dimensional magic," said Eros arriving in this small city in California with one of his forms who was less an hassle for this century.
"You are very partial to this type of magic and, also, in a bad mood because of Hermes. I thought you liked the warm temperatures," said the young woman at his side.
They were a very attractive and charismatic couple. Two young adults from approximately twenty years old, who was arm in arm. A large blond male with slightly tan skin and clear blue eyes, and the other, a small and delicate female with long wavy black hair, dark moka skin and huge green eyes.
"The problem is not the temperature but the pollution," said his companion, "I really do not understand how Ares, Eris and Strife can bear with that for long periods... Hercules, I can understand, he has always been strange, but hte others," he finally sighed.
Shrugging her shoulders, the brunette beauty turned to him with resolute manner. "Well, anyway, we are not here to admire the scenery, so we began ?"
"Good idea ! Hum ... since his marriage has been annulled and he still has his holidays, I think he should be home ..."
"Is this really a good idea to offer him to become our Paladin when he has broken his relation with this woman in a disastrous manner and not since a very long time ?"
"Yes, I think it will do him good ... anyway, she was not for him and she started to focus too much on him ... it is a good thing that this break has happened like this ..."
"Your work ?"
"No... nothing at all. It is just that the former boss of Anya did not like to lose her so he instigated to separate them. Since she would set him and his soulmate appart, I am not intervened."
"Good point, it would be a pity that he had only the minimum when he may have what is the best for him."
"Exactly !"
"And of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that the Demons of Vengeance specialize in inter-dimensional travel and that you hate this form of magic !"
"No ... if I must really have a reason, I would say that I'm tired of all the soulmate couples, who took me years of work and much effort to put together, that they ruin only to give more power to their boss."
"Ahhh I see ! You're going to ask Xander to interfere ? Maybe I should occasionally watch your land, it seems that you have all the fun."
"It is a good life. I'm not very bored. You can watch... After all, it's more fun when you are not alone ... Oh ! It's here," he said when he eventually stop in the street they were crossing, "and as expected, he is here... and alone."
"Perfect, we go ?"
"After you darling," he answered with a smile before they head to the door before them.
