Here is another chapter! My vacation is over now, so uploading will take more time.
WARNING: Some text can be shocking for light-hearted people. I don't know how you will react, but it is cruel. It can be better than expected, but I still want to warn you.

The young angels were staring at me while I flew closer to them. They looked shocked and frightened. The two I had in my minds started to scream. I flew over professor Condor and hold out my clawed hands. The angels turned around to run, but I grabbed the two.
'HELP!' they screamed. The other angels got the hell away, but my two victims were helpless. My claws stuck through their togas.
Demon-icus! Demon-icus!' everybody shouted.
I saw in my eyecorner that the teacher ran after me, spreading his enormous wings. I was quicker than he and I made a nose-dive to the surface. After I flew through the clouds, the teacher was nowhere to be seen. The two young angels struggled, but couldn't escape. My grasp was too tight. They were crying in fear and pain.
'Lady Palutena-icus! Help me!' the girl with short green hair shouted. The other was a boy with flaming red hair.
'She can't hear you,' I snapped. I found a platform near the entrance of the underworld and landed. As soon as I landed, the angels attempted to escape again, but it failed too. They were quivering and knew they would be dead soon.
'Names!' I ordered. The only answer I got where squeals. I grasped tighter, this time piercing the claws into their sore skin. The two screamed in pain.
'L..Lil..Lilac,' the girl stuttered.
'Phoenix,' the boy said afraid. Now I had a challenge. How could I kill one of them, without losing the other.
'Weaken them, injure them so they aren't able to go away,' Hades said as if he had read my thoughts. I clamped them with my legs and showed them my Raptor Claws. The two froze in fear. Hades wanted the blue-winged girl the most, so she should be killed first. That meant I had to injure the boy so badly that he couldn't go away anymore. I stabbed my claws in his stomach. Both angels started to scream again. Phoenix in immense pain, Lilac in fright. I swiped slowly my nails down his leg, ripping his skin. Blood started flowing. The girl's face became stark white. That was enough. I released Phoenix, who indeed wasn't able to walk anymore. He hold his stomach to hide his stab wound. The ripped legs were still visible.
'What are you going to do-icus with us?' Lilac asked afraid.
'Kill you and strip you off your wings,' I said calmly with no feeling. She gasped and I grabbed her throat. Tears rolled down Lilac's cheek when I started choking. Her eyes, they were sad. She would lose her life within a few minutes. But that look. Why was that so difficult to see? I didn't know what happened to me? It did something to me, but what? I killed the Syrens without mercy. I saw the life in her eyes slowly fade away until she was dead.
'NOOOO!' Phoenix cried. I turned around and he swallowed.
'Now it's your time, Hades is waiting for you,' I said and killed him as well. His last breath was a choked scream. I released him. Even I was a bit shocked. What was going on with me? Had I compassion? No, that was impossible, but it felt like compassion. Kite, push that feeling away and continue!
'Good job Kite! Now give me the wings,' Hades said. I followed his orders and ripped two pair wings off two dead angels. I headed back to Hades' stronghold with the wings in my hands. I had managed to keep the wings as clean as possible. Only the feathers around the joint were bloody. I flew through the same skylight and arrived at my home. Hades was already waiting for me.
'Kite!' he said happily when he saw the wings in my hands. I kneeled down before him and handed him the wings.
'I'm really impressed,' Hades said and gave the usual treatment. I took off my Raptor Claws and drank my soul in a can.
'The blue ones were from a girl named Lilac and the ones with warm colours came from a boy called Phoenix,' I informed.
'Good, I want to know whose wings hang on the wall. And what about the corpses?' he asked. I had realised I just let them lay there.
'They lay somewhere...' I said. I hoped Hades wasn't mad.
'You know what? I want people fear you, so you are going to drop the wingless bodies in the middle of a crowd. I've taken over the war. Medusa and Pandora are defeated.' I gasped: they were dead. Killed by the general of the goddess of light. Of course I wanted to spread chaos.
'Yes, my lord,' I said and took off again. It didn't take much time to find the dead angels. I picked them up. I smeared the angel's blood from my mouth to my chin to look scarier. The blood tasted sweeter than the Syren's blood. That angels were sweet and innocent was even presented in their blood. I flew back to the Skyworld. The place I had snatched the angels was empty. Apparently, they were so scared that they cancelled the lessons. Suddenly, an image flashed in my mind. The last moments of the angels in my arms were burned in my retina. It was horrible. Why was it horrible? I was born as a ruthless murderer. How could I pity my own victim?
'Are you all right?' Hades asked.
'Yes, yes,' I lied. I found a place, crowded with angels. It was a plaza. Dozens of angels were walking, standing and talking to each other. I would scared them to death. It had to be a dramatic entrance. (insert Hades' infernal theme here) I flew up and blocked the sunlight with my large wings. The people in the shadow gasped and some women screamed. I dropped Lilac and Phoenix and they fell on the ground, making the people scream again.
'The lord of the underworld has risen,' I said in a dramatic way.
For the mention: Lilac and Phoenix were both five years old... so yeah...
