Reina's POV

This isn't possible, it can't be. There's nothing left of Olympus. It's all....destroyed. All the Olympian palaces, from the base of the mountain to the peak of the mountain, have been destroyed and are now in ruins. 

Dino was frozen, he hadn't moved an inch ever since we arrived to this scene. His face was contorted into an expression of horror, and had I not been through much more desperate situations then I'd probably be looking like him right now.

I snapped my fingers to wake him up from his dazed state, he gasped loudly and stared at me with wide eyes. "Glad to have you back on Earth loverboy." 

He turned his gaze back to the ground, "This place just...the most important moments of my life were all here. When Chrys was still...not evil, we had good moments here. Olympus means a lot to me."

"Good for you."

He stared at me in slight shock before laughing out loud, "I just give you a heartfelt confession and all you say is 'good for you'. I don't know how I managed to forget that you are as cold-blooded as Savanna, it's amazing."

"That's a little too cold for my liking," I replied. He immediately understood what I was referring to. "Did she actually-"

He interrupted me and said, "Savanna killed Ameera to protect Chrys. Ameera was actually an Oceanid, not a siren. She seduced Chrys on the exact day that Savanna finally directly rejected him. Not only was he vulnerable and desperate for any affection he could get, he was the one that removed one of Poseidon's limb the day we saved Nero, he was the perfect prey. Oceanids are so beautiful that loving them corrupts and makes the mind obsess over them, demigods are half gods and half mortals. She was quickly becoming the only thing Chrys was interested in, and soon she became the only person he cared about. She planned on taking Chrys to the bottom of the oceans with her, when he loves her enough to lose all reason and drown himself while following her."

"Oh," I said.

He laughed a second time because of my response to his explanation. I deserve several golden laurels for being this funny without even trying.

"I'm glad to see that you get to laugh before suffering a painful death," said a feminine voice amidst the ruins of Olympus.

How long had she been there? 

"Who are you?" Dino asked as he put himself in a fighting stance. He's right, she's dangerous. Her power level is 379,000 with a majority of her power coming from her magic. Her powers are probably dangerous.

"Who am I? I'd love to give my name to a pretty boy like you but you're gonna be an empty corpse soon," she said with a sadistic smile. I followed Dino's lead and put myself in a fighting stance. "Are you ready? Go." She charged right at us.

Dino went ahead and confronted her head on. She landed the first hit on him with a kick aimed towards his stomach, he barely stumbled back. He grabbed her by the leg that was still on him and slammed her body into the ground, with enough strength to break the surrounding earth and leave a body shaped hole on the place where she hit. We both expected her to have been unconscious since Dino is strong enough to win against people like Savanna, Nero and Alon who all have enough strength to beat this girl up. 

The most surprising part is how she stood up. She was perfectly unscathed, no sign of how roughly she was smashed into the rough surface of the earth.

"Oh I kinda forgot how much stronger than me you are," she said with a goofy smile. 

"Being so forgetful after threatening to end someone's life honestly sounds like something I'd do," Dino said while laughing. Fe stopped laughing and asked her, "So are you gonna use your powers now?"
