So here we were, Manny was driving me to Eric's house. We along with Francis and Will were going to met there. To say we were reluctant was an understatement. However, we all knew we had no choice. We gathered in front of his house and the four of us knocked on the door. And greeting us there was his sister Rachel, dressed only on the flimsiest of silk robes who did little to cover her gorgeous form..
"Hello all of you, my dear brother has been waiting for you." she said, and we follow her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So explain me again why are we doing this?" asked Eric standing in the middle of a makeshift spell circle.
"Because we are bored, beside this is supposed to makes us gods of love. Aren't you tired of not having a girlfriend?" said Francis as the de-facto leader of our group.
"Yeah, but still why me first?"
"Why not? Stop being such a pussy." said Will trying to dissimulate the fact that he wouldn't want to trade places with him.
"So are we ready Nick?" asked Manny to me, since I was the one who actually knew how to make the spell. It was from an old book that my family brought from the old world, and written in a greek dialect that I was actually barely able to read.
"Yeah sure, now while we hold hands, Eric has to drink from the cup." I instructed, and we did. Nothing happened at first, except Eric nearly trowing up by the potion we made.
"Do you feel any different?" Manny ventured to ask.
"Just a bit sick, what was on-" but before he could complain he bite his tongue and was convulsing in the ground.
"Holy shit call 9-1-1!" yelled Francis, but before anyone could dial, Eric stopped and got up.
"Man don't scare us like that!" said Will lightly punching Eric shoulder.
"Careful mortal you don't want me to wither that hand." said Eric in a complete different tone that his usual speach. "Uhm... where am I? Wait don't tell me, this young man memories are filling me in. His lust is great... but could be greater and his physical shape... no this won't do." In a moment his clothes desintegrated and he stood naked, his short curly hair became a long straight mane, although he retain his cooper color, he was a bit flabby but before our eyes his body contracted and toned, his body hair dissappeared and his homely facets became more elegant, and his skin was rid of any blight of acne. Even for us he had become quite handsome, he even appeared to glow. "Now this is better."
"What the fuck!" cried Will, seeing the show before us.
"Oh yeah, you are the ones who brought me here." said Eric.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"The ritual to summon me, Eros, god of love." he explained, and suddenly realized I have made a translation error.
"I though it was for give us to become gods of love." said Manny.
"Hahahaha... I see. How silly of mortals, however I see you all decided it was a good idea to summon me. Well here I am and I'm going to grant your wish."
"You will?" asked Manny interested.
"Well is not like you have a choice, those who summon me becomes the Erotes and spread love across all."
"Come again."
"You shall become the Erotes, but you don't look like Erotes." Eric moved his finger and suddenly we were all naked, and we all felt a pain in our gut as our bodies remodeled into their physical peak.
"Now that's better. You shall have no problem woeing anyone, of course to seal the deal, you must have sex."
"Can you conjure up some babes?" asked Will excited, perhaps not realizing the precarious situation.
"No need." said Eros. "You four can praise me with beautiful love-making as you are right now."
"What? I'm not queer."
"You denied ME?!" Eros looked pissed off. "HOW YOU DARE... Oh I see the sensibilities of you people have changed over the last few centuries. Well I don't care. This is my will. If you denied, I'll leave and take my gifts an then some, you'll be horrible to the sight, your manhood will shrivel, your seed barren and love will be closed for you. You have until tomorrow, come look for me on my vessel's house.

"Please disrobe, Master Eros is waiting." said Eric's sister.
