We turned around looking for the source of the raspy voice. We landed on Dolores, REAL Dolores this time. I could tell because this Dolores had black flecks in her eyes, just like real Dolores. But I decided to not take chances. I stood up and nocked an arrow in my bow.

"Take off you wig, if you really Dolores", I said. Dolores sighed and removed her auburn wig to reveal her natural blonde hair. I lowered my bow.

"Better?", Dolores aske. 

"Better.", I answered.

We arrive at Delphi and look for the Oracle's temple. We eventually have to ask people for directions and manage to get there. We look inside the temple and find a girl around the age of 12. She was wearing a black sleeve-less dress and black satin gloves. She had half of her black hair. I tensed. This was the girl I saw in my dream. She turned around slowly and we all recoiled.

"Hmm. My father told me I would get one. I got a double package!", she said to no one in particular.

"Er..what's your name? Maybe we can be friends.", Dolores asked. The girl laughed.

"You, me, FRIENDS?! HA! Do you know who I am? I'm Python and Thanatos' daughter, Thanaia!", Thanaia exclaimed wheezing. We stared at her blankly. I thought Thanatos didn't have a sexuality. Well, live and learn I guess. "Charge. Now.", Astra telepathied in my mind. I nodded. We charged with Amara and Dolores on our heels. Thanaia raised her arms and summoned an army of ghosts from the underworld. The other girls forged on, slicing and shooting ghosts to get to Thanaia. But I stopped. I saw her. The one soul I regretted.
