Macaria couldn't believe how easy it was for Kronos to control everyone. And the only thing that he needed was her.
"Say good-bye to Tartarus," Hyperion grinned evilly.
Macaria sighed "Are you really gonna put everyone in there?" she asked.
"Oh please. Don't tell me that you'll miss your idiotic family."
"They're your family too," Macaria softly pointed out.
Hyperion just laughed at that "Oh please, they shouldn't even be here."
"Gaea," Macaria ran up to the cruel Earth Goddess.
"What do you want child?" Gaea asked.
"I- Where's Thanatos? You promised that I would get to see him," Macaria said.
"You actually believed that?!" Gaea laughed.
Macaria whinced.
"He's already in Tartarus. No way that we're gonna let anyone get out of there," Gaea snapped.
"Fine then," Macaria muttered.
She turned around to leave the room to which Gaea snarled "You better not be going where I think you're going."
"Why not? You don't need me anymore."
"Oh don't worry, we have one more use for you."
"Joy," Macaria grumbled and disappeared.
Gaea stared at the spot where Macaria has just disappeared from. She then called Prometheus.
"What is it my lady?" Prometheus asked with a sly smile as if he were plotting something.
"Go follow our little prisoner, she's probably in Tartarus as we speak."
"Why would she go there? She's not that stupid, is she?"
"Just go and find her, I'm pretty sure that she's planning something. Keep her away from Thanatos."
Macaria stared at the large entrance to a pit. Gaea was right, she was planning to go into Tartarus. She put a cloak over her head and walked into the pit. There were the different gods and goddesses, forced to do horrible punishments that the Titans made up. She lowered her head and tried to walk away from the deities,hoping that none of them notice her. She still peeked once in a while to see if Thanatos was anywhere in sight, but unfortunately, he wasn't.
She walked to one of the few buildings in the whole pit. In it she recognized a room from what seemed so long ago.
"You're still alive," Macaria murmured, picking up the case with a blue butterfly in it.
The butterfly flew around as if it were excited to see Macaria. Macaria opened its cage to free it. The butterfly flew towards the door but then flew around Macaria and sat on her hand.
"Go, you're free now," Macaria said bitterly, thinking Unlike me.
She moved her hand a little bit to scare the creature away but it rested on her hand. Then it flew in front of her face and flew back to the door, but waited right in front of it.
"The door's open!" Macaria exclaimed.
The butterfly didn't fly out.
"Argh!" Macaria yelled out and walked up to it. When she did, the creature flew into a hallway then waited again.
"The exit is there!" Macaria pointed to the opposite direction.
The butterfly was still elevating in the same area. Macaria rolled her eyes and walked up to it which caused it to fly away then wait for her again.
"Oh, you want to show me something," Macaria murmured, following the blue insect.
The butterfly brought her to a closed door which Macaria tried to open but couldn't.
"What's in there?" she asked.
"You don't want to know," she heard an eerie voice from behind her.
"Prometheus!" Macaria gasped as she turned around and saw him smirking.
"You won't like what's in there," he added.
"Did you follow me here?"
"I was just in the area."
"Can you please open the door?" Macaria begged.
"Umm... No. I'm warning you about what's in there Macaria. You should be following my advise," Prometheus warned her.
"Can you tell me what's there at least?"
"You won't like it."
Macaria turned around to the door. She wasn't gonna listen to Prometheus or Gaea or Kronos again. This was a start of her being rebellious to them.
She shook the door and kicked it but nothing worked.
"OPEN YOU PIECE OF SHI-!" Macaria began yelling out but couldn't finish because she heard someone from in the room almost whispering her name.
"Huh? Who's there?" she asked.
"Macaria, I'm telling you. Don't open the door and don't talk to the room," Prometheus growled but Macaria just ignored him.
"Who's there?" she asked again.
The butterfly sat on Macaria's nose. She ignored it, trying to talk to the being in the room that Prometheus apparently found necessary to hide from her.
"Is it Thanatos?" she finally asked.
"No! It's not! Stop it," Prometheus yelled at her.
"It is!" Macaria gasped "Thanatos I'm right here!"
Just then, Prometheus took out his knife. He was thinking about the angle at which he could slit Macaria's throat so that she could shut up. He began running towards her but then the butterfly nervously fluttered its wings and flew to the right.
"Huh?" Macaria turned to the right and followed the creature, just seconds before Prometheus hit the door. His armor cut a bit of the wood and his weight moved the door slightly.
Macaria walked in to find that she was correct.
"Thanatos!" she cried at the bloodied god of non-violent death. She ran up to him to try to help him up.
"Macaria?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'm here," Macaria felt tears rushing to her eyes "I'm here. You're gonna be fine."
"You helped, helped them," Thanatos said, breathing heavily.
"I swear that I didn't want to! I never would have but- but they lied and forced me to. I would have never done this," Macaria sniffled.
Thanatos wiped a tear off her cheek "I-I believe you."
Macaria laid her hand on Thanatos's hand.
"H-here. You're gonna be ok," she said, feeling weak and dizzy. She began tending his wounds.
Prometheus walked away from the door, the world spinning for him for a few seconds. When everything went back to normal, he saw Macaria tending Thanatos.
"I warned you," he growled, grabbing his weapon to scare Macaria.
Macaria got up from Thanatos's side.
"I'm, I'm not scared of you," she said.
"Oh please. If you weren't you wouldn't be in this mess now. And you wouldn't have run from my knife earlier," Prometheus sneered.
Macaria thought about how earlier that day her father allowed Kronos to take him so that Kronos wouldn't hurt her. She copied the 'energy in my hand' and attacked Prometheus with it, who dodged it easily.
"You're not a fighter, you're a chick," Prometheus said.
Macaria ignored him and tried the same thing as she did before which Prometheus dodged again.
"Boo," Prometheus grinned.
He then proceeded to attack Macaria, which she dodged.
"You suck," she said.
"I'm just being nice," he shrugged.
He attempted got closer to her and attempted to jab her but she used this as an advantage to throwing the energy at him again.
Prometheus stepped back a bit but wasn't hurt that much.
"Now watch a true warrior," he said, lighting his palm with fire which Macaria found weird since he had no powers. But then again, he could have just stolen them from one of the gods.
Prometheus saw where Macaria was and was just about to pitch the fire when something blue covered his view.
"FU*K!" he yelled out, missing Macaria and creating a giant hole in the wall and pieces of stone.
Macaria picked up one of the stone and proceeded to attack Prometheus. She had no idea of what she was doing, she just attacked him.
Finally, when she got tired, she sat by Thanatos. The blue butterfly sat on her hand and fluttered its wings. Macaria heard the yells of the gods and decided that it was time to lead a jailbreak.
Ten years later, a woman was sitting on a beautiful hill. Flowers were blooming all around her. She stared at the field remembering the past ten years of when she got the courage to help the gods after seeing someone important in a state of almost death.
"Mommy!" a little child with black hair and the woman's blue eyes ran up to her.
The woman picked up the child and hugged it. Another figure walked up to the two, the woman's husband.
"I was running for the past hour. Someone had too much sugar today," the man said. The child giggled.
"What's there mommy?" the child asked its mother, pointing at the field that the woman stared at.
"There was a really important battle, sweetie," the woman said.
"Yes," Thanatos agreed "It's the one from the war which we won thanks to your mother."
"Mom was fighting?" the child asked, laughing.
"Not exactly. But I helped daddy right after the bad guys beat him up," the woman said.
"How did that help win the war?" the child stared at its parents.
"Let's just say that thanks to me, all the other gods were freed. There are some pros to being a god of death," the man said.
"And a goddess," the woman added.
The child began clapping and laughing "Mommy and daddy are heroes!"
The woman and man stared at each other.
"That's right," the man finally said "Why don't you go and hide again? I'll be it this time."
"Ok daddy!" the child exclaimed and ran off the hill.
The man turned to the woman when the child was out of sight.
"Zeus finally dropped the subject," the man told her.
"That's good," the woman sighed "I really don't want, you know, for everyone to know about that."
"Don't worry, I highly doubt that you-know-who will find out about this," the man said, looking to make sure that his child is no where near.
"I still can't believe that he wanted to punish you for all this. It wasn't your fault, they forced you," the man added.
"I still fell for it," the woman shrugged.
"But in the end you helped save his royal ass despite the $$hole that he is."
"Despite the royal $$hole that he is," the woman smiled.
"I still can't believe that Hades opposed Zeus like that. No one ever has done that."
"Well, you know daddy. He won't let anything happen to me. I'm special."
"Didn't he punish you?" the man raised an eyebrow.
"Oh no. Yes, Zeus tried to punish me and dad walked in saying that I'm his daughter and only he can punish me. But all that happened was that he told me that he didn't believe I did anything wrong."
"Good. I'm glad that it's all over now."
"Yep, Kronos's evil plan. Use me to get Olympus."
"Daddy! Are you even looking?!" the child asked.
"Oh yeah! You're making your location to obvious!" the man yelled.
He looked at the woman and she smiled at him. Then they both kissed.
