"Who's the Blessed Death? " I asked, walking through the gym doors. I dropped
my bag at my feet and crossed my arms, taking everyone in.

Hera stopped mid-cycle, while Persephone rushed towards me.
"Who told you? " She said slowly.

"An Emissary of mine " Hestia said, reaching down to tie her shoelace. "If you all haven't noticed, Athena's Pick has been kidnapped"

She grunted as she stood up, walking over to the wall and picked up a bow and a quiver full of arrows , she hurled it across the room and Liu caught it.

"That's yours, Hepaesthus will be done with you and Denise's weapons" Ares said "even though you're all walking weapons "

"I still haven't gotten an answer" I said.

Hera looked at Persephone, in fact, everyone looked at Persephone and she looked down at her feet.

"It's Macaria, My daughter. " She said.

"You had a daughter" Liu said, "with Hades? "

Persephone nodded, her gaze transfixed on the ground.

"I don't see  why anyone would-" Denise started, but was cut off by Liu's hand over her mouth. She narrowed her eyes.

"Anyway" I rolled my eyes "what's the Blessed Death? "

"It's just death to be honest, our worshippers named it blessed because Macaria left her mark on specific corpses" Persephone said.

"The mark meant what?" Liu asked.

"So what do you think they want to do?" April asked.

"Who's they?" Denise asked,

"Probably Hades and his cohorts" Hera gave. "And the mark showed those who had spiritual resonance. You could harness that power and do whatever you want."

"Probably?" I dropped my bags again by the treadmills and turned to Hera

"Well, yes. Probably because there are a whole lot of others who may want to wreck havoc" She said, "and we have minor gods and demigods "

"Enough talk, let's just train " Ares said, "April and Lyanna : Swordplay, Denise and Liu : Element training "
