Gaea's plans were finally in motion. That idiot girl wasn't able to defeat Lady Nyx's mind control and Lady Gaea had just gotten the last follower needed. Unfortunately that follower was the idiot Sisyphus who I had condemned to an eternity of pushing a boulder up a hill in the Underworld. But Gaea had needed another follower and he was willing to join, so I got rid of his punishment, still having the power of a judge in the Underworld, and brought him to this world. Now that Gaea had her full power she only needed a body and all would be in place. Only, unlike the body Kronos took, this person wouldn't need to take a dip in the River Styx. No, she was already strong enough to withstand Gaea being inside her. Yes, Bianca di Angelo would be the body for Gaea.
I was heading to the throne room at that moment to watch as Sisyphus pledged his loyalty to her and then took over the girl's body. I chuckled, just wait till that brat found out what had happened to his sister. It sure would be a shock.
Walking in to the throne room I noticed that I was the last one, the monster, the girl, Sisyphus, and Lady Gaea were already there.
Walking up I bowed before her "Lady Gaea."
"Ah, how nice of you to join us. The ceremony is about to begin." Gaea said, a smirk on her face.
Nodding I stepped back so that Sisyphus could get closer to Gaea.
"I pledge my loyalties to Lady Gaea, goddess of the Earth. I will fight alongside her and her army. I will fight against the gods. I am against the gods for what they have done to me. So I, Sisyphus, denounce the gods and pledge myself to Lady Gaea." Sisyphus pledged.
At the end of his pledge the whole earth shook as Lady Gaea was fully awoken. The earthquake sent everyone, including me, to the ground. Gaea laughed out loud as her powers were fully replenished. Her face glowed so bright that I had to turn away or my eyes would have gotten burned out of my skull. I looked back when the glowing stopped, Gaea looked the same but I knew that she was stronger now then she had been for over two thousand years.
"Minos. Minos. Begin the ceremony. Girl, get up here."
I nodded to acknowledge her while the girl just walked up. I took out a cup made out of pure Imperial Gold and a ceremonial dagger made out of Stygian Iron. Walking towards the girl I reached out and grabbed her arm, tightening my grip on the dagger I ran it across her skin. Blood immediately bubbled up, running down her skin. I placed the goblet right underneath her arm to catch the blood. Once the bleeding had stopped the goblet was nearly full. Picking up some dirt from the floor I dropped it into the goblet. It didn't matter how or where I got the dirt, it all came from Lady Gaea. I began to stir it while beginning my chant.
"With this offering of blood from the daughter of Hades, Bianca di Angelo, she shall forever be bonded to Lady Gaea, goddess of the Earth. Lady Gaea shall have for control of the body for all eternity. With this body Lady Gaea shall be able to move as she pleases and stay immortal as long as she is touching the earth. Bianca di Angelo, do you give your body to Lady Gaea?" I said in Ancient Greek.
She answered back in Ancient Greek as well "I willingly give my body as a vessel to Lady Gaea. I swear it on the River Styx."
"Then let this be. Bianca di Angelo shall, from this point on, be the vessel from Lady Gaea as long as Lady Gaea wishes it." With that I threw half of the blood mix on Lady Gaea and the other half on the girl.
I stepped back, not sure what would happen. I was promptly knocked off my feet as the earth began to shake again. A bright glowing began around both of them. Something I knew was that if you looked at a goddess true form you would immediately be killed, and this had to be the transference of her godly powers and mind to the girl; I turned away, shutting my eyes. A scream reached my ears as the girls body was invaded by the goddess. The scream lasted for at least three minutes before it, and the the glowing, died down.
Turning around I saw the girl still standing there. But her eyes were now glowing a bright green color. As she turned to me I could see the godly powers radiating off of her.
"It as worked, Minos. I now have full control of this body and may go where I wish." It was still the girls voice, yet it was underlined by Lady Gaea's voice.
"Yes, my Lady, it has worked." I agree with her, pushing myself off of the ground.
"Yes, now we have some preparations we need to get ready." Gaea said, a smirk on her face.
I knew what she was talking about, a plan to finish of Hades and the Underworld once and for all. Turning around Lady Gaea began to walk out of the door, calling over her shoulder for me and Sisyphus to follow.
After walking down multiple hallways and rooms we made it to the War Room, were we planned all our attacks. There was only three keys to get into this room, Gaea, Sisyphus, and I all had one. The room also had more guards than the throne room. For in this room was the most important items we had obtained. The items were the Sword of Hades, two keys to the Underworld, and the Helm of Darkness. Yes, Hades Helm of Darkness and his sword. When we had invaded the Underworld we had managed to obtain them, of course we had already had one of the keys to open the Doors of Death at least somewhat. Unfortunately, before we had been able to obtain the other ten keys to the Underworld Hades had sent them to places all around the Mediterranean. But that was what we were about to fix.
"The keys all are attached to the Underworld, which means they are also attached to death. We need to look in places that have had there death rates suddenly jump. It might not even be death but sickness, so check that as well. There are ten keys, which means ten places with abnormally high death and sickness rates for the past couple months. Check every city around the Mediterranean, I don't care how long it takes." Gaea ordered us.
"Yes, Lady Gaea." Both Sisyphus and I answer.
"Oh, and Minos. Those brats are still on the island looking for their missing friend." Gaea snarled.
"They won;t find either of them. Sooner or later they will have to leave the island. It will cause them more pain to think Jackson dead then to just kill them off." I answer her, knowing that she would like them dead.
"Very well. Know we have another problem. How do we get the Big Three to start a full out war between the gods?" Gaea asked of us.
"We could always make Hades believe that Zeus and Poseidon gave you the first key so that you could destroy him. We all know that they are always against each other and have always that the other would try to destroy them. And we can always tell him about the whole Hera thing. That sure would get him mad." Sisyphus suggested. I had to curse him in my head for thinking of that before I did.
"Yes. Yes, and with both Zeus and Poseidon having children that could at any time sneak into the Underworld, it would convince him all the more. Of course the Keys aren't on the same level as say, the Master Bolt, so another god can take them. Yes. That would most definitely start a war between them. Very good idea, Sisyphus. Go plant the evidence. Then after that we just wait. They will destroy themselves and we won't have to lift a finger." Gaea agreed, a smile planted on her face.
"We will get the evidence planted right away, Lady Gaea." I bowed to her before walking out, smiling.
Oh yes this will be good. The gods will destroy themselves and Gaea will take control of the world, placing me as her lead general. This was going just like I wanted it to. After planting the evidence, I would get rid off the one person who could take Gaea's favor away from me, Sisyphus. Time to go plant the evidence. I just wished that I could see Hades face when he thinks that his family has betrayed him. Oh yes this would be good.
