She felt herself get claustrophobic, the void walls pushing her in every possible direction, making it hard to breathe. The voices got louder as the creatures around her began to chatter loudly. She'd been in there for what? five minutes? She could not be sure.

All of a sudden, she felt a tug at her spine and her eyes suddensuddenly shot open. She could only see endless black space. A blue bird fluttered to her and then disappeared in a puff of smoke. She tried moving forward but it was like she had no control of her body. Like she was in space.

She defied the laws of physics... GRAVITY!

That was her way out of here: lack of gravity always made Shteno stronger, why not her. She was about to tap ininto her inner Shteno when a golden light engulfed her and she felt like her essence was being stripped away. She let out a blood curdling scream. Then all went black. Again.

The Gorgon Coven members were gathered around a bowl staring inside it like their lives depended on it.

"Are you sure about this? " A female Gorgon inquired of the male standing beside her.

"We may hate the gods but Lady Aphrodite has spoken : release her daughter. " He replied

The female nodded and soon four gorgons began chanting they were halfway through their chanting when a scream erupted from the bowl. The gorgons did not stop chanting till they had completed their spell.

"It is done." The male said.

The crowd dispersed leaving only the four spell casters.

"What do we do now? " one of them asked.

"We wait. We wait till it's time to strike. "
