Nyx

"This is not possible",I thought looking at what was now in front of me. The pneuma turned gold, she did it. Even brighter than Clymene ever could.

"Let me end your wandering and follow me to your afterlife in my home", I whispered to the soul. Listening to my words, it slowly faded away as it entered the necklace near my heart. "Keep low", I grunted as I came aware that she could've gotten the attention of Hades.

Meanwhile
Hades

"What?", Hera spoke out confused. I looked back but nothing was there. "It's not possible", I whispered to myself as I ran my fingers through my hair. "Nothing, probably a soul that didn't belong there. ", I dismissed. "Are you sure? You look paler for someone that already looks dead.", Okeanos said.

"Yes, and can you keep your remarks to yourself. Not everyone can lay in the sun for hours like you do. Besides that, I literally live in the underworld.", I spoke out, trying to move their attention elsewhere. Everyone chuckled moving back towards the table. Hera started ranting about the plan as my focus moved back to the pneuma. That hasn't happened in millennials, and even then it happened only by the hands of the tribe goddess. "Tribe goddess?", I thought to myself. Hands trembling as I heard my name being called.

"Hades!", Hera screamed. "Yes", I spoke out in a daze. "Keep your mind here, your little mistresses can wait", she said. "Like I said, we're gonna resurrect Cronus."

Ares

I stood by the window as the light flashed. For a moment, a quick second, I thought that I saw Artemis. " It's not possible", I thought to myself. My attention went back towards Hades as he whispered something to himself. He seemed almost too pale. "Nothing, probably a soul that didn't belong there.", he said as he tried to reassure us and himself.

My mother looked towards me but quickly shrugged her shoulders as she walked back towards the table. "We are searching for the Sunblade.", my mother spoke out. "The Sunblade, are you serious? It's nothing more than a legend.", Prometheus laughed. "A legend always holds truth.", Okeanos supported.

"We need your souls, Hades.", my mom added. Hoping for a response we looked at Hades. But he looked even worse than before. "Hades? Hades? Hades!", my mother screamed as she glared at Hades. Even though he responded he didn't seem present. Why was he like that? What did that explosion mean?

Meanwhile
Antheia

I woke up surrounded in darkness as the voices outside the room were muffled. I tried to move but even with that my body felt numb. My vision became clearer as I became more aware of my surroundings. It took me a minute to realise that I arrived at the Mansion of night. My eyes scanned the room as I regained my composure. The black walls surrounding me, reminded me of Acropolis. But this room had more depth because of the small golden details that were showing. The voices grew louder as they entered the room. "Finally, you're awake.", Nyx spoke.Before I could even ask them what happened they asked me the question first.

"How did you do that?", they asked in sync. "Did what?", I genuinely stated confused. "You don't remember?", Artemis asked as she looked worried towards Nyx. "This is not good", Nyx said. "What you mean by that?", Artemis asked. Without responding she left the room, leaving us behind before entering again.

Nyx

"This isn't the first time that this has happened.", I said. "I saw this happened to Clymene, I mean the tribe goddess. She was powerful but that power made her even more dangerous. Before we got close, she used to lose herself. In a way that could harm the ones around her. You just made the lost soul, a golden soul. A soul that is filled with your light. A light shines brighter than something I've seen before. It's as if the Creator is a part of you. That energy could be your power or your downfall. History repeats itself for a  reason, that was our sign.", I said.

"But that doesn't explain how this could make her dangerous. She did lose herself there but she didn't harm us at all. ", Artemis added. "Because she wasn't focused on hurt anyone. She just tried to protect us. But there will be a time where she will lose her vision on what she wants to do. She will forget her purpose, through her rage, fear and urge to kill."

"What do you mean urge to kill? I have never meant to hurt anyone .", Antheia said. "I know, but you will feel the power consume you. It will slowly eat you, not because your body is not capable to hold it but because you will have to lose someone. A war like this, will never end well. That fact will make you lose control. But that doesn't mean it will happen. All we can do know is prepare you for what's coming next.", I said. I glanced towards her necklace before I looked back at her. "Where did you get that?", I asked. She hesitated for a second before answering. "I got it from the market on earth.", she said.

"How did it land there?", I thought to myself. I walked out the room towards the room across the end of the hall. As I entered I walked to the desk as I drew out a painting. It's something I've made the day Clymene and I shared the bed together. The moment where I finally dared to admit that I loved her. As I looked closely I saw the necklace and the ring that she wore. "How is that possible? The ring was destroyed with her."

Flashback

My eyes scanned her body as I twirled my fingers around her black hair. "Did this really happen? Or am I just dreaming ", I asked. Her chuckle filled the room. "This is real, what I feel for you is real.", she said as she kissed me on my face, lips and neck. I smiled taking her closer to me. "I want to stay like this in your arms, Clymene. I- I love you.",

I could see her eyes water as she looked at me. "Finally, after all these years. You've finally said it.", she snuggled closer to me. "Wait, I want to capture this moment to remember forever.", I stated as I walked towards her desk drawing out the paper, feather and inkt. I softly dipped it in and started to draw her as she laid there smiling at me.

I noticed that the ring and necklace looked similar. "Your ring and necklace look very similar, are they a pair?", I asked. She seems very shocked by the statement as she touched it quickly before calming down. "I usually forget that it's there.", she said. "Does it has a specific purpose or meaning to you?".

She seemed to hesitate as she looked down. "Promise you won't say anything.", she said. I looked shocked but quickly answered with a promise.

"The Creator gifted this to me, with the purpose of it being my strength, something that could bring me back if I ever would lose my control. But it has never been that for me. Because you're the one that will always bring me back.", she said.

End flashback

My flashback was quickly interrupted by the flash of wind that suddenly surrounded my entire palace. I ran towards the window to see millions upon millions of souls rushing away. I quickly ran towards the room where Artemis and Antheia were staying. As I entered I could see them looking out of the balcony seeing the same thing. "What is happening?", Artemis spoke out in fear as she looked back.

"The war is near"
