A/N:

Merry Christmas!

•••••

The dark corridor spoke power and it amused her. Torches hanging by the wall lit up as she pass by.

The warriors in black bowed to her as she walk down the black carpet leading to a large hall. She pushed the double metal door and it creaked open.

"Why did you summon me, father?" She asked the helmed man sitting on his throne.

"My brother seeks your help. Rise and go to the land of the Gods, my child." A deep voice that usually send chills to those mere humans brought comfort and fatherly love to her.

"Will do, let me just say my farewell to mother." She bowed with respect and waited for her father's command.

"Go on and spread your passion like fire, my child." She smirked and turned her back to head to a chamber.

Her mother's chamber.

The eerie silence can make any human squirm with fear but it only bring her calmness.

She walked down the corridor, the torches and fire seemed to be joyed with her presence as they bow down to her too.

"This is the Deadly demigod, open the door." She announced her attendance and the door creaked open by itself.

There, a gorgeous woman rests. The bright torches illuminated the face, revealing the astonishing details of her godly façade.

"How are you, mother?" She greeted the woman who's currently sitting by her study table.

The woman lifted her head up and glanced at her daughter, her Deadly demigod.

"I am perfectly fine, kid." The woman replied with a soft smile and gestured the standing one to come closer.

She stiffed as she felt her mother's arms embraced her. The comforting love it brings her is still unmatched. It outcasted the darkness that she have dearly inside her heart. It is as if that small act from her mother is enough to make her feel more human.

"How about you?" The woman asked her.

"I am perfectly fine as well. Father has spoke to me about Uncle needing my help." A frown formed on her mother's face.

"What is it this time?" The older woman is obviously annoyed with the news.

"I don't have any knowledge about it yet, mother. I am here to inform you regarding my upcoming absence. With father's tone earlier, I am quite sure that this one will make me stay out for a while." She spoke and held her mother's hand before she kissed it.

"I shall be gone by now, mother. I will ask the fire and torches to watch over you and burn whoever desires to do unpleasant things towards you." She informed her mother who wore that motherly smile as she bid her farewell.

"See you soon, mother." The metal doors closed.

She whistled. The fire and torches suddenly appeared before her.

"Guard my mother. The ones who will show unpleasant actions and words shall be killed." She ordered and they all bowed to her.

She may or may not be in-charge of the fire that continues to warm the cold dark palace of the underworld.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Be gone to light." She opened her eyes, the previously full black eye balls are now exuding the radiating deep blue pupils.

In a snap, darkness took over her body and a blinding light appeared before her.

Green grasses, colorful flowers, beautiful maidens, and the clear blue water welcomed her as she reached the heaven, the Olympus.

She looked underdressed as she saw the Gods and Goddesses walk around in colorful clothes meanwhile she is dressed in a full black female warrior suit, mismatching her pink hair.

She walked to the great white hall, not minding the looks she's getting from the newly born lads of the royals.

Her gladiator sandals hinted her presence as the whole hall gawked at her appearance.

"My favourite niece! You have come, as what I have expected!" The gorgeous man stood, letting the maiden on his lap fall on the ground.

She looked at the maidens with no emotion. She doesn't care about them, she's here for her new mission.

"Your request to have me here is what made me come. I wish not to see more blinding light from your exquisite home." She uttered. Her deep blue eyes is sensitive with any form of light, her eyes lack of melanin which protects the eyes from any light penetration.

"My, my…I apologize for my ignorance of your needs, my dear niece." She tried her best not to roll her eyes upon her uncle's subtle flirting.

"Say what you want me to do, time is limited." She vocally expressed her impatience.

Her uncle then smiled.

"A certain wish was heard by a servant of mine." She attentively listened to her uncle's voice. Tending wishes is not her forte but she have encountered it a lot of times already.

"I know you would fit the role, my niece. Grant her wish and I can grant one of yours too." She stopped for a moment when she heard her uncle's offer.

It is very unlikely for her uncle to offer in exchange of her mission.

"I don't have any wishes." She spoke coldly, as cold as her metal armor suit that weighs around 20 kg.

"Oh believe me, my niece. After this mission, you'll wish for something." Her uncle spoke playfully.

She did not wish to pry more about it so she just agreed.

"Who's this wisher?" She asked.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Her firm decision stood still and nodded.

"She's…"

She waited for the next words to come out. Her patience wearing thin. She doesn't give any care if she's facing the God of all, if he wastes her time she'll turn her back upon the most respected guy.

"She's a pretty lady, I must say—Oh! Have some wine first, my niece." The gorgeous man offered her a golden cup filled with a red wine which is purely extracted from the mountain's garden and is extracted by the fine wine God.

She declined and waited for the description.

"I can't seem to put her beauty in words, my niece. I apologize for that." The man apologetically smiled at the standing female warrior in front of him.

"I do not want to interfere but I'm afraid that my patience is not as big as Hercules' strength." She uttered her cousin's name.

"Oh, accept my apologies." The man then snapped his fingers and all of a sudden her clothes turned from the female warrior suit to a female formal suit.

"Enjoy your time there, my niece. I'll be waiting for your wish after this mission." The man spoke playfully.

Her forehead creased as her eyebrows collided with her uncle's words.

"What is it you're meant to say?" She asked the man politely.

The gorgeous man just smiled and rested his hand on her shoulder.

"I am giving you the second gift of attractiveness, my niece." The man smiled wider and out of context, her lips unintentionally lifted it's sides.

"Bear the gift but escape from human's hunger." She was about to ask but with another snap of her uncle's finger, the whole place spinned and she's now in front of a wooden door.

'Good luck in cooing your bride, my niece.' She heard her uncle's voice.

She sighed and knocked on the door, signalling her presence.
