-Third person's POV-
"You failed me again."
A cold yet severe voice said as a woman stood there fiercely with her face hides in the dark. Only the flash from the moonlight can see through the dark place that caused her eyes to be seen, but her face hid behind the shadows.
"I'm sorry-" the girl shuddered in fear. She steps back, but one of the woman's guards stood behind here. Preparing if she ever dares to escape.
"Sorry? I gave you a simple task! And yet, you failed to do it!" With too much fear of being punished, she quickly kneeled to the ground, begging the woman with tears in her eyes.
"I'm really, truly sorry, madam. P-please f-forgive me. I-i d-didn't expected that G-goddess Artemis would get in the way."
"And there's that Artemis." The woman rolls her eyes and went back to her Stonehenge throne, man-made by men for the past hundreds of years.
She sat down as one of her servant who served her pour a wine on her wineglass and gently gave it to her.
"As much as I want to say that Goddess is so foolish to touch the arrow with poison, I could not let myself sit back and go on with the flow because for one thing, she almost died." The woman took a sip and narrow her eyes at the girl.
"And if it wasn't for Hades, Apollo would now move heaven and earth to investigate what happened. All Olympians would be furious. Hades would take all the blame, he could be punished one way or another for not being able to control his powers. After all, he is the next Cronus." The woman emphasized being obnoxious, directly saying whatever comes out of her mouth.
She licked the side of her red lips when an idea formed to her mind. She put the wine glass down at the round table beside her throne. Furthermore, she slowly stood up and walk towards the girl still kneeling in front of her.
She harshly grab her chin, making the girl to turn to her. This time her face is visible to her sight.
"Get your arrows ready, you're going to shoot her again and I want you to aim for her heart. Make sure you'll watch her soul ceasing to exist. And you'll do that after I released the demons from Tartarus."
The girls eyes widened, but she knew there's nothing she could do. Doing this is very dangerous. If the King or anyone from the palace had found out about this, she's dead anyway.
She knew that Angela is he's weakness. He saw what Cronus and Lord Hades talked about from a crystal ball.
Cronus wanted to get rid of Hades' weakness, but the King will never allow it, of course. It's already part of her knowledge that Hades is powerful and will never hesitate to kill Cronus himself.
The girl sighed and nodded in the end. The woman let go of her and head straight out of the room, but before she left she gave one last look at the girl. "Do not fail me this time." She said, then completely disappear.
She looked at herself in the mirror, making up her mind. Likewise, she knew what to do.
"Kill her and it will be over."

-Angela-
"W-where w-would you want me to p-put this, you're majesty?" I asked with my voice stuttering and my hands shaking while holding the old remaining books in my hands.
Why am I nervous, you may ask? Well...
"At the tower."
That. Because of that.
