Chapter 2: Ritual

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW:

Upon arriving, Chaos quickly walked towards the throne room to meet up with the Fates. They need to hurry up before the soul of the boy reaches the underworld. Chaos was saying the truth when she said the soul of the boy would never reach the underworld, but..... only if they can snatch his soul before he arrive in front of the underworld council of judgment.

She nodded her head to the guards as a greeting when they went to open the palace door for her. Arriving at the throne room, Chaos saw three figures sitting at the stairs leading up to her throne. Noticing her arrival, the fates stood and bowed to her "Mother"

Chaos smiled, she really is proud to call them her own. Many thought that the fates were a part of the titan council once, or maybe even a part of the council of the Gods, but the truth is that they are not a part of any council, for they are one of the children Chaos, one of the most powerful actually.

Sadly, the domains that Chaos bestowed upon them at birth was being the final judge, the one who will decide what will happen in the future, and seeing as this is a huge and important role, the power split itself into three to accommodate the triplets.

As a mother, Chaos never wanted to bestow such power to her children; she never wanted to see her children suffer from something that she could have solved. As a mother, she never wanted to see her children be hated for doing their job. But when the fates were born, a war was brewing and she was needed, knowing that she was fighting a lost battle, she gave the power of destiny to her triplets to turn the tides of the battle.

Chaos was still weak from giving birth at that time and thus, she didn't have a choice but to give and do what she can to save her people from the wrath of the rebels. The fates at first, hated her to the core of their souls. They thought that Chaos used them to win the battle; they thought that she doesn't care for them, but they soon realize that they were being childish. They were the fates, they saw the future or what will become of it, but they can also see remnants of the past. They realized that their mother never intended to give them the power to change and alter destiny as they please.

Knowing of what will become of their mother if they can't let go of their grudge and grief, the fates decided to talk it out with their mother, and they soon realized that their mother did indeed love them, she was just doing what she can to protect her family and people. They forgave their mother and accepted that they can never outrun their destiny to change their powers.

"Children, it is nice to see you again. But I believe we must hurry, Perseus' soul is nearing the underworld" Chaos said while making the body of the hero appear beside her. The fates nodded and each held a palm up, making a broken golden string appear in front of them. The string was broken into two, a sign that it was cut. If you look closely, you can tell that the string was once beautiful, the golden sea green light that was circling around the string was starting to get fainter, signaling that the owner of the string is about to enter the afterlife. The soul is about to enter Hades' realm.

Chaos and the fates stared chanting an ancient spell under their breath. Chaos placed the hero on the ground, while the fates willed the broken string to float just above the body of the hero

"As creator, I deem a soul worthy of living. I am the creator, I am the destroyer. Under my name, let there be life" Chaos said while closing her eyes and bringing out a knife, she slashed her palm open and let the blood slide down her palm into the golden sea green string and onto the body of the hero "A body in need of a soul, a soul in need of a body. My blood will cleanse the fear, let the soul find his way to the world of living, let the soul find his way into his body"
