A Sister's Demise ✔️

Diana Prince and Persephone Jackson stood side by side at the gates of Hell, looking down into the pit. A sliver of fear trickled down the back of Perci's neck, making her sigh shakily.

Her cousin clapped her shoulder and drew her sword as screams soon erupted beneath them, We can do this.

Diana glanced at the Saviour, reassuring her, We can.

And if we can't?

We must. It is an honor to fight beside you cousin.

Yeah. Let's...kill stuff.

Not even fifteen minutes of their descent into Tartarus were they attacked.

Sometimes a few.

Sometimes many.

Unlike last time, when Perci was unprepared and helping an injured Annabeth, she had Diana and both were better trained then the demigoddess would ever believe. The two warriors were unstoppable, beating everything in their path.

Until one moment.

Back to back, Perci and Diana sliced at the approaching empousai and evil spirits. To the Daughter of Poseidon's right, she suddenly hesitated when the first hellhound she'd seen since being in the pit.

She hesitated for a split second, her thoughts flickering over to Mrs O'Leary who she hadn't seen since the war. Being frozen for even a moment, allowed the hellhound to lunge at the demigoddess, it's teeth bared and claws curled.

Diana had just finished off the last few vampiric shape shifters, when Perci gasped in pain. Her quick turn showed the picture of a sword driven through a pile of gold dust. And her cousin, on one knee holding her stomach.

But the Daughter of Poseidon then looked up at her, a surprised expression on her tired and sweaty face. The Amazon knelt and gently moved Perci's hand, expecting to see torn and bloody skin.

Perci looked too, but they were both shocked to find nothing except some dried gold lingering on her non existent wound. The demigoddess had felt her skin being ripped open, she'd felt that sharp pain.

The feel of her life force falling from it. Where was the blood? Why gold and not red?

She shook her head, she's only seeing things. That's all.

The Daughter of Zeus stood as held out her hand, it was caught by Perci, who was then pulled up.

Still in a state of shock, the Saviour just stared at her cousin.

And Diana just looked amazed, grinning like the Cheshire Cat, "Ready for another bout?"

"Why? You getting sleepy?"

They laughed and continued on.

Stalking deeper and deeper into Tartarus, less and less monsters attacked the pair. It wasn't until they'd reached a certain point when Perci suddenly recognised something.

It was a small, dark hill, with a dead, crooked tree sprouting from the top of it. And further away...were the Doors of Death.

Diana frowned at her cousin when she pointed it out, "What is it?"

I've been here before. The bad feeling the Daughter of Poseidon now felt, made it hurt for her to speak. In my dreams, when I saw Chaos.

The Amazon inhaled sharply.

And when I was here last time.

"Where did you see her?"

When I found her chained up, the hill was right behind us.

"So...the Creator is just beyond that hill, near the doors."

The weariness and exhaustion that had seeped its way into their bones disappeared with the excitement of rescuing Chaos and delight for being close to escaping this hell hole. But still cautious, aware that Order may appear and halt their quest. And like Perci's dream, the closer they got, the sounds of laboured breaths and clinking of chains attracted their attention.

Forgetting their fears of being found, Diana and Perci raced for Chaos. The picture of her proud and divine features were...gone. Her dress was ripped, the blackness of it appeared darker because of the silver stains that was her blood. The liquid silver forked down her skin and face, gashes covering her skin. Not only that, but the galaxies in her eyes were dull and barely swirling like before.

For an ageless Immortal, she seemed almost lifeless.

Instantly by her side, both Daughters of the Skies and Seas, grappled at her shackles. But before anything could happen, a very familiar chuckle met their ears.

Diana was crouched beside Chaos her, startled to see the pale primordial.

Perci, however growled, Riptide in her hand and pointed it at Order's chin.

He began to slow clap and the Daughter of Poseidon only just stopped herself from rolling her eyes, "Hey Asshat. Do me a favour and release your sister."

"No no, my dears. The fun only just begun. I was waiting for you."

The demigoddess was about to attack when Order continued, "Besides, I want you to meet someone."

A small girl, stepped out from behind him and Perci's breath caught in her throat. She saw Sally's eyes and nose. And Paul's hair and cheekbones.

"Hestia..." The Saviour whispered.

"This is Eve. My daughter." He corrected.

Perci snarled at him.

The girl narrowed her eyes, the color of them flickering between a sickly white and blue green.

The demigoddess then realised that her little sister didn't know who she was.

Diana what do I do!?

You have to fight her Perci. There is no other way. She whispered sympathetically.

To Order's left and the demigoddesses right, a crack appeared into the ground. Fire erupted from it and another person stepped out of the flames.

Oh, for fuck sake!!

A snicker in her mind came from her cousin.

This new arrival had red skin, fire for eyes. Not like Ares, not at all. His eyes were scorching from his sockets and when his gaze swept over Perci and Diana, she could feel the intense heat radiating from him. As he walked towards them, the ground seemed to follow his feet, meeting his footsteps, like the sea did for her.

Wearing a blood red robe, he sneered at Order with horrible yellow teeth, "Leave."

The pale primordial sighed, the movement exaggerated by the rise and fall of his shoulder, "I have to deal with something, Tartarus."

"I don't care. Leave."

Perci and Diana looked at the red skinned man with fear.

A two pronged pitchfork made from Stygian Iron, shot into his hand. A disgusted look was sent to the Amazon and the Saviour. His rumbling voice made them both cringe as he spoke in their heads, You've done me no wrong. I don't care if you killed Mother Earth. I'll take Order and you the girl. But one of you must also free Chaos.

Diana gulped and quickly got to work. The demigoddess never thought that she'd ever stand side by side the human form of the Pit, to defeat Order.

Hella crazy.

I still don't like you.

That's fine. You're can asshole anyway.

Tartarus shrugged, True.
