A New Order of Chaos

Battle 6x1

Erebus was impatient.

Not that he had much patience to begin with. But, there was one entity that was kind of 'sucking' the patience out of him.

That someone was named Kethas.

Kethas was one of the many lieutenants of Ouranos. Master of the Lighting and Electricity, he was relatively young, in comparison with the rest of them, who had several hundred eons on him. Sadly, his inexperience was also a synonym for impatient, and it was something that the rest of the army was finding themselves with very little, since everyone was a target of his 'highly enthusiasm', for the lack of better term.

"When do we attack?" Was the repeated question coming out of Kethas' lips.

"We'll attack when we're given the order!" an old centaur snapped at him, ready to cut his head off clean, simply because he was being a pest.

"We'll be giving the order soon... I can feel it!" Kethas announced, sending mini electrical charges towards the people around him. Some complained in pain, while other grunted in annoyance. And, there was a small group that looked ready to kill him on the spot. Sadly, and as much as Erebus didn't want him in this mission, he had to say something.

"Kethas!" he called the hyperactive lieutenant, watching him come to him, like a loyal dog to its master. Guiding him inside his tent, Erebus turned to face him "Thought we talk about this..."

"I can't help it!" Kethas recognized, fidgeting in his place "There's a change in the air, that tells me something is about to strike us!"

"Kethas, I understand you impatience... I'm growing impatience myself but we have orders to follow-"

"MyLord Erebus!" The shout came from outside, before a Northern Cyclop walked inside the tent where Kethas was talking to him "MyLord, the harpy that was sent to explore, has been capture, MyLord" Kethas could see how Erebus' face changed very little to nothing. What was a lonely harpy against the entire army?

"Could you see who took her? And where?" Erebus was in full command mode. This were news that he would have to pass to Nyx.

"No, MyLord... They- they questioned her there" the Cyclop looked lost at those questions. Erebus waved his hand, before sitting down in his black throne and dismissed him, in deep thinking. Kethas, however, saw this as the opportunity he needed to prove his worth to Ouranos.

"Not even think about it, Kethas" Erebus' voice was heard, cutting effectively all thoughts of Kethas "I know you want to prove yourself and I know you're eager on tasting the battle on your blades, but you and I have orders to follow"

"But, they could be gathering information in this instant!" Kethas argued, making Erebus raise his eyes at him. His black almost void eyes bore into Kethas' electric silver ones, in a battle for dominance. Not used to those kind of battles, Kethas withdrew easily.

"Kethas, I allow your stay here because Ouranos demanded to know everything that was going on... Can't say I don't see where this is coming since my own wife keeps me in the dark..." he chuckled at his unintended pun "We're the first defense and offense this army has against the Olympians, just like those demigods are theirs... You really want to charge without a plan?" In the middle of his speech, Erebus started to raise his voice, showing his power. Kethas swallowed and listened "Call Mormo to inform Lamia. Then, he needs to start on the rituals..." Kethas was unsure, but did as Erebus ordered him, leaving in silence from the tent.
