Reyna's POV
"You'll burn in tartarus! I swear on the styx you'll burn in tartarus!" : I screamed, I strained at my chains so much that the cuffs cut into my wrists until they bled. "Perfect! Just what we needed." : said Koios gleefully. He clapped and my chains stiffened, holding my arm in place. A cynocephali hurried forward with a vile and filled it with my blood, trickling down my arm. "Now you Nico." : said the titan. He drew his blade, a celestial bronze xiphos. "No!" : I yelled. Fortunately, Koios didn't kill Nico. The titan raised the blade and slashed upwards, the tip of his blade opening a long cut along Nico's face. Nico yelled in pain, blood seeping from the gash. Another cynocephali filled another vile. "Now the beginning of the end." : laughed Koios.
He removed the amazonian queen's belt from his waist and held it over one of the stone slabs. Only then did I realise what the stone was. "Heresy! You would destroy the most sacred artifact of the amazons to make a cup." : I half-yelled, half-whispered. "Oh boohoo." : said Koios. He turned back to the mold. His fingers blazed with white fire, dazzling us. I could feel the belt's magic fighting him, but it was no match for a titan of this degree. The belt melted into molten gold, dribbling into the mold. The other slab came down hard on the first. Koios waited a few seconds then punched the mold, shattering it into a million shards of marble. He knelt and scooped up a single gold goblet, burning with a harsh orange flame.
A cynocephali rushed forward, handing Koios the two vials. He lifted each and poured the contents into the cup, our blood turning gold as it fell. More wolf-men rushed forward with other ingredients. I recognised only a few, drakon's venom and a phoenix's feather. Each ingredient turning into a fine gold powder as it was tossed into the cup. Finally, Koios raised the cup and spoke an incantation. He turned to us. "Sorry, but I'm afraid that this is the end of the world as you know it." : he shrugged. He raised the cup to his lips - and Nico exploded.
