Chapter 5: It’s payback time
“Good will always triumph over evil”
Hera clenched her fist. “Fortuna, my lovely step-daughter. I want her to be dead!!!!!!” she shouted. “Where is that Castillio de Loarre?” she asked.
The man took of his aviator shades and Adonis face revealed. “On Spain, my love”
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
As I lie down on the couch in the train going to Spain, I saw Jinn’s face on the cloud. I wonder how he was. I closed my eyes and remembered the feeling of his body wrapped into mine.
After a half hour travel, the train stopped on Paris.
“Sorry for the inconvenience, the train will stop on Paris because of some damages” the train personnel said, his eyes are popping out.
“It is weird. Why damage? Did we hit something?” Alpheus asked.
“No” The train personnel said, almost emotionless.
“It seems they are hypnotized. It’s weird” I told them as we go out of the train.
“Yeah. I agree” Lamia replied.
As we walked on the splendid place, we saw the Eiffel Tower going near to us. Eros started to feel uneasy.
“Look! The Eiffel Tower!” Lamia and Antropos said.
“Wow!” Alpheus said, holding Lamia’s hand. “The City of Lovers....” Lamia said as she rested her head on his shoulders.
“Breathtaking” I said, while looking.
“Don’t look on the Eiffel Tower!” Eros warned, but too late.
Then, without knowing, we already fell on Hera’s Trick. As far as I know, Eiffel Tower is the Heraion of Argos, Hera’s praising place.
Eros facepalm. “Ohh! I know that this will happen. Hera tracked us”
The place was almost dark. Only the light from afar is the one lighting the whole dark room. Suddenly, the floor started to grumble. A hideous 9 headed cyclops appeared and started to attack us.
“Antropos! Can’t you do anything with your powers?!” I said, running away with the big monster.
“What the?! My power is only to cut the fate of a mortal, dummy!” she replied, crying.
Lamia stopped on running. “Just go to the light right there, that is the exit of the room. I have my mission to assist you here so I’ll fight this monster!”
“Me too!” Alpheus added.
“But!” I told them, feeling so nervous.
“No But But! I know you can do it all!” Alpheus said.
Eros grabbed me and Antropos. We ran towards the light. Alpheus and Lamia fought the monster. In my last sight with them, I saw Lamia transforming as a snake and Alpheus, with his water powers. As we approached the light, another room is in there.
The next room is just like a room with no roof. Then, three harpies started attacking us. Eros shoots his arrows and Antropos casted “fate” spells.
