A New Order of Chaos

Behind Enemy Lines

Lamia never thought that gathering an army against the gods would be this hard.

Less and less where the minor gods that wanted to side with them. All because one stupid demigod decided to play Pontifex and start giving recognition to them.

Where were the blood-respect-thirsty immortals that would cross the line to be acknowledged?!

This only made her job more harder. But not impossible.

"I still don't understand why we can't recruit the Giants-" one telhekine had complained, setting Lamia towards the edge of her patience.

"Think it for a second" she replied, trying not to launch at him and make him shreds "If we ask help from the Giants, Ouranus will turn against us because those are Tartarus' kids... Without mentioning that the Giants will betray us once we gain victory!"

"We could deal with them!!" they replied in chorus "We made the most powerful weapons!!"

"Puny godly weapons won't do this time!" Lamia hissed, losing the last of patience she had "So, I suggest you to start gathering allies or I'd send you to Oblivion myself!!" she barked, pissed. The thelekines scrambled around, in fear. Good to know I can still spread fear...

"Nothing will be ever be compared with the power of discord... niece" Lamia gritted her teeth at the presence of her aunt "You look kind of drain, sweetie..."

"Why are you here for, Eris?" she cut her aunt's mockery towards her with real pleasure. She couldn't stand being joked around.

"So rude, niece..." Eris smirked at her, both of them knowing Lamia didn't like people crawling under her skin, the same way Eris was doing at the moment "Mother wanted me to check your progress..."

"You mean, you came here to steal my credit, do you?" Lamia accused her, not trusting her sister. That's the disadvantage of the Gods' monster kids: they never got the same respect or recognition as the godly ones. Only when the acts were so terrible than even Gods feared them.

"Fortunately for you, niece, I'm not here for that" Eris surprised Lamia "Mother want someone to feed their anger and hatred towards the Olympians and who better than me to do that job?"

Lamia kept her mouth shut, not knowing what to say. It was true, Eris was the perfect one when it came to maintain anger or hatred towards someone, like Lamia was perfect for spells and torture.

"I'm assuming that you have a plan, do you?" Lamia raised an eyebrow at Eris, who smirked "Of course you do..."

"I was considering infiltrate into the enemy Camp-"

"And, betray us!! I knew it!!" Lamia was euphoric... for nothing.

"Shut it, Lamia!!" Eris smacked the back of her head, causing that the monster got into attacking position, ready to attack her "As good as your spells are, you can't melt with the shadows like me! I'd be able to get more information!"

Ready to steal Grandmother's attention... What a needy brat... Lamia scoffed inside her mind. For her, everything was good explained: go to war with the demigods, reclaim the power that was rightfully theirs. Though, she'd never admit it, Eris' plan made absolute sense.

"Looks like we'll be waiting for your report... aunt" she added in the end, not liking that Eris is more in charge than her. Eris simply smirked at her, disappearing in a black smoke curtain, leaving Lamia with the need to take her anger out on someone.

~oOo~

Hours had passed for Lamia to see her aunt again, wishing she could come up with something to defeat the mortals. The fact that she couldn't and lost track of the mortal she was suppose to torment, was eating her alive. Metaphorically speaking.

"We found troubles" Lamia heard behind her. Turning around, she saw Eris looking worried.

"What? A couple of demigods sharpening their spear?" se teased her, with all the intention. Eris glared at her, not found it funny.

"Another power has found its way into the demigods' camp" she explained.

"Those are words of cowards!" Lamia accused her, not remorse in her voice "You wouldn't mind if they have half the Cyclops' army at their disposal, you'd attack them without hesitating!"

"I'm not eager to be shoved into oblivion!!" Eris argued back, yelling at her niece "I got almost caught twice..."

"'Almost' being the key word here" Lamia pointed out, for Eris disgust "What is this power that has the Goddess of Discord so shaken up?"

"I'm not sure, but their sense were sharp and quick, turning the second I disappeared..." Eris looked at Lamia, concern in her face "They're being trained, Eris, by powers we all fear and respect..."

"A few seconds you couldn't identified them!! Now, you're sure about it?!"

"I don't know you, but I'm gonna inform Mother. And you..." Eris faced Lamia before leaving "You should prepare your puny army for battle... They're gonna give it to us..."

Lamia didn't want to acknowledged what Eris had told her, and decided to believe her own reality: Eris was cowering and she didn't want to fight with Ouranus and his army.

"This will end when I decide it should end" she decided, serious. She took one last chance and decided to visit an entity that has been long forgotten. A creature that even the the creature itself had forgotten. She roamed for days until she found the cave of such monster.

"I smell the blood of Hecate..." a very flat and hissing male voice floated in the air. Lamia smirked to herself "Such an appealing blood..."

"Looks like the years weren't a rehabilitation for you, Mormo" she named him, showing a creature that, just like herself, had fangs instead of teeth. His skin was dead pale and his wings had became a web of what it were.

"It's always nice to be remember by someone..." the guy, Mormo was flattered. Lamia smirked one more time "You want from me, Snake Sorceress?" Those last words stung to Lamia, but she ignored the feeling.

"I hope you had gathered as many remorse as you could, Mormo, because we're at war and you will help us"
