Agape sto Thanato: Love in Death

13

Macaria's POV

I arrived at where most of my prayers have been coming from. I could feel the pain these people have endured and the desire for death to get them. The shoots from my body extended and became vines that approach each mortal. After collecting claiming the souls here, my body shimmered again and transported me to where I was needed.

Each time I was transported, I could not help but focus on Wonwoo's presence. I was monitoring how he was. By the time I reached my third destination, I could feel that he was holding on to a thread. The amount of worry I was feeling is as big as Mt. Olympus, but it kept growing.

I could also witness the souls that Wonwoo was supposed to collect. I tried to collect some of them, but it only backfired on me. Each time I did try to claim those souls, it would backfire on me. I could feel that it was burning me and keeping it would affect not just me but also the souls I was carrying. I focused on my task and tried to collect them as fast as I can.

"In Gaia's name, please keep Wonwoo safe until I reach him" I sent a silent prayer and went on to collect more. My head was becoming heavy and filled with pain but I endured, there was no time for me to succumb to these. I strengthened my resolution, there were still souls I have to collect before I could go and rescue Wonwoo.

From the corner of my eye, I saw my brother Dino and sister Melinoe capturing the souls that Wonwoo should collect. My eyes widened as I saw them.

"Chan! Meli! What are you doing here?!" I asked as I approached them. Melinoe easily scooped the souls and kept them in a cornucopia that was tied around her waist. Dino on the other hand-tied them with what I can see as celestial threads.

"Helping you out" Dino responded nonchalantly as he tied another soul again.

"It was an order from father, to keep these souls coming back to their bodies until Wonwoo returns" Melinoe added while wiping her swear with her hands.

I just looked at them in awe at what they were doing, if I had time, I would have had hugged them but quickly shoved the feelings of sentiments away and did my job. I could notice my siblings staring at me as I collected the souls. After doing so, I was about to leave when Dino called me.

"We'll be entrusting you finding your partner, Goddess of Blessed Death," he said. Melinoe just nodded and I smiled at them before shimmering out of the area.

3rd POV

The Olympians and Jeonghan were gathered in Olympus to discuss what was currently happening in the mortal realm. Everyone was present except for Ares who was called upon by war and Jihoon for some reason.

The three brothers have already explained the things they have fished out from the titan lord, and that all of these were. The disappearance of Wonwoo was being discussed as of now.

"Without the Wonwoo, the mortals cannot die and could simply slip back to their bodies which poses a great danger to the order" Cheol declared.

"Where could he possibly be? It is uncommon for him to leave his domain in such chaos" Artemis questioned.

"He was sent to capture Sisyphus for the insult and offenses he committed against us" Jisoo answered calmly.

"Minghao, you've headed to Ephyra yourself. Was there any form of danger there that a god could not handle?" Jeonghan asked, he was not looking at any of the Olympians, he was thinking seriously about what they can do.

"There was nothing that I saw, except for the black whisps, they bought chaos and evil in them but do not pose harm to gods" Minghao replied and sipped from his cup.
