Pain Is My Love Language

Miracles and Curses

Alucard POV: 

I was feeling very ill, as if I were nothing more than a mortal who had the flu. Something of massive divine energy was coming to Hellsing, and I would be rendered useless. I looked outside, and in pulled a small parade of cars of different makes, models, and time periods of when they had been made, the oldest one looked to be a scarlet model T Ford. Anderson had told us he called Hades for help, and Master was fully on board with asking the Olympians for help. I was told that I had to be present for the meeting, and I felt like a mouse in a house full of cats. 

Slowly, different deities came into the conference room, taking seats around Master, myself, and Anderson. I was on my Masters direct left, Anderson on her direct right. The seat at the very end of the table opposite of Master was occupied by a man who looked as if he were a very sleazy business man, his hair was white, his skin a pale goldenrod, and his suit was white with golden trim, a lightning bolt tie pin and matching cuff links told you exactly who this man was. Zeus, high king of this pantheon.

 To his direct left was a woman who was a soft magenta, her hair looked like spun gold, and her white dress was both modest and sincere. This was Hera, Zeus' wife and high queen of the pantheon. To his direct right was a woman of royal blue, dressed in a sharp business suit of a slightly lighter shade, with military patches and pins on it, she looked like a very powerful and terrifying general. This had to be Athena.

" Is everyone here?" 

" Everyone who believes that they should be, Sir Integra. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Mr. Zeus Kronoson. My brother told me of your company's exploits and I have to say, I am impressed with your work." 

" And your name is a legend among all parts of the world." 

" My brother also told me that it seems a pair of our legacy's worst are wreaking havoc on your fine country. We understand that they almost killed one of your agents, and severely wounded one of your other members, and we wish to help you destroy these two monsters of old." 

" And how would that be done?"

" The only way to kill Echidna is in her sleep. That is when her magic is dispelled and she is in her truest form, and when her defenses are down. A simple beheading is all that is needed to destroy her." 

" And Typhon? What about him?" 

" Leave him to me. My lightning is the only weakness he has, and he has to be bound in Tartarus for it to work." 

" And how are we going to separate them?" 

" Typhon has a particular liking for maidens of purity and innocence, trying to corrupt them, as was exhibited when he cruelly tormented Caedis into exsistance. Echidna loves to chase after men who radiate power and destruction. If we could find two people who fit these descriptions, we have a chance of separating them." 

" I have a history with Echidna, having taken the form of a woman who I had tried to turn into a vampiric bride. I could distract her, seeing as she believes me to be dead. What better way to show said power than to defy death." 

" And your name, vampire?" 

" My name is Alucard, but you might know me better as Count Vlad Dracula, King of vampires and the sired of Lamia." 

" So you are the one who now possesses the soul magic of the Lamia. I have to say, she was one of the few monsters of our legend that wasn't really a problem maker." 

" Yes, but if I recall correctly, she had been a mistress of old for you, correct? Hence why she had become what she was, yes?" 

Zeus hesitated, taking a quick glance at Hera, who was now scowling harshly.
