When Krotos came too, he's arms were tied back to a large pillar. Making it impossible for him to move, he even felt weak like a mortal. This time he knew that he wouldn't be able to gain strength from anger. Gaea wouldn't let him.
He looked around and the others were all tied to pillars also that were in a large circle, Dallan was at the other end of the large circle and she was struggling with the bonds. In the center of the circle was a large table made from marble and the ground around it was black, laying on the table was Leon. Asleep and motionless like he was dead.
"Glad to see you're all awake." A feminine voice said, Krotos glanced up to see Cyrus and a girl standing next to the table. Cyrus' eyes were murky grey and Krotos knew that something wasn't right. Cyrus wasn't Cyrus.
The girl stood in front of Cyrus with his arms wrapped around her, she held his hands in front of her and a wicked smile was spread across her face.
Before Krotos spoke, he noticed that Raidne wasn't with them. Where another post was there was no one tied to it, Krotos had the unsettling feeling that they had killed her.
"Where's Raidne!" Reiner yelled before Krotos could, even though they all had their shirts back on Krotos could see some blood stained onto Reiner's shirt.
"Oh her? Well sense she is a monster, we placed the necklace on her and set her free on the country boys. I assume she's killed 3 so far." The girl replied with a glint of pleasure in her eyes as she saw Reiner getting angry.
"You're a monster!" Alexander yelled, he was on the right side of the circle and was glaring at the girl.
"Well of course! A puny soft hearted demigod could never become the vessel for Gaea." The girl said with a grin, leaning her head back on Cyrus' chest and turning her head so her cheek was touching his chest and her eyes were closed.
"And Cyrus couldn't be soft hearted ether to be the vessel for Ouranos." The girl said, Cyrus tightening his grip around her passionately.
"V-Vessel?" Skyler muttered, surprised just as everyone else was.
"Oh? He didn't tell you? Cyrus volunteered to be a vessel for Ouranos a long time ago, he just played you all until you arrived here at Greece. Why, he even helped get you captured!" The girl said with a smirk, her eyes still closed like she was enjoying feeling the pain from the others.
Krotos didn't want to believe it, he knew that Cyrus wouldn't play them like this. Krotos knew Cyrus, he knew that Cyrus was a good person. That he could never turn his back on his friends and play them like that.
The sun peeked over the mountains and Krotos mentally kicked himself, The girl was stalling! Krotos struggled harder to get free, his eyes locked on Leon as he knew what was going to happen next.
The girl pushed Cyrus' arms away and went over to the slab, bending down and whispering something into Leon's ear that no one could hear. After that she stroked his head with an evil grin and pulled out a dagger that was in the side of the table.
Instead of instantly killing him, the girl turned back around and handed the dagger to Cyrus who took it without hesitation. She stepped out of the way and Cryus stood next to the table, looking down at Leon and holding the dagger above his heart. Ready to thrust it into Leon at any given moment.
"No!" All the demigods called out at once as Cyrus brought the dagger down but stopped inches away from Leon's chest which was rising up and down slowly. Cyrus' hands shook and Krotos saw that tears started to roll down his face, even though Cyrus was being controlled. He couldn't bring himself to kill his Best Friend.
"Wimp!" The girl yelled and pushed Cyrus away, grabbing the dagger and thrusting it down towards Leon.
It happened so fast that even Krotos didn't know what had just happened, the bonds around his wrists snapped and he ran towards the table. Knocking Leon to the ground and the dagger piercing Krotos through his back and out his front. Causing his Godly Heart to stop beating and his body to suddenly become colder.
He could hear the cries of the others but it sounded like they were yelling underwater, the pulse that he had gotten so used to had suddenly stopped. His arms and legs became numb until he couldn't feel them anymore and his lungs didn't need air. He struggled to keep his eyes open, but he had a feeling he didn't need to anymore. With one last breath he closed his eyes and fell limp, letting himself drift off.
Dallan screamed with tears streaming down her face, staring at Krotos' dead body burned a hole through her heart. It made her ache with pain and she couldn't bare it. Watching as the Golden blood fell to the black ground made her realize that he really was dead.
With a sudden rush of adrenaline she broke the bands and ran towards Krotos, she wanted to hold his body and still feel him breathing. But she was cut short by the girl kicking her in the back and the chilling noise of her spine cracking.
Dallan fell to the ground and cried out in pain, her spine felt like it was on fire and someone was shoving hot coals down her throat and then kicking her in the head multiple times. She shook greatly and tried to get up, but only managed to claw at the black dirt.
"Oh? It seems like I hit a nerve!" The girl yelled and dug her heel into the exact spot that Dallan had been hit before, tears of pain rolled down Dallan's cheeks instead of sadness. She was shaking so badly that she thought she would fall to pieces, her back felt like it was being bent in two and that the broken pieces were digging themselves into her organs.
"One more should do the trick!" The girl said one last time and put all her weight onto that one spot, Dallan finally felt her spine snap in two and blood seemed to just pour out of her mouth. Instead of shaking she twitched and it was getting harder to breath, she felt her lungs slowing down as they rose and fell. Then all of a sudden everything went black.
Reiner grit his teeth and he watched Dallan die, it was to early for two of his friends to be killed. And by the same person, though without having to struggle the bonds around his wrists just fell to the ground. He started over to the girl when the ground started to shake hard, Skyler and still bound to the pillar and she wasn't shaking as bad as Reiner and Alexander were who had gotten free from their bonds.
Reiner fell to the ground as he lost his balance, when he looked up he saw vines cocooning where the girl and Cyrus had been standing. But the vines were moving in a circular motion and a bright black light was seeping through the cracks.
With a loud roar like noise and a boom, the vines disappeared into the earth and black clouds starting rolling in from out of no where. When the girl and Cyrus opened their eyes, they were both fully bright green.
The girl looked down at her hands and opened and closed them a few times like she wasn't used to them, she looked back at her ankles and then bent over forwards and back. Cyrus doing the same.
The two looked at each other with what seemed like pleasure, excitement and annoyance all at the same time. The girl kissed Cyrus and then pushed him away, almost like she couldn't contain her excitement.
"I Gaea, finally have a body!" The girl said, her voice loud and powerful. Causing the earth to tremble but not with as much force.
"And I Ouranos, have a splendid body as well!" Cyrus said, with a deeper and more powerful voice. Lighting crackling through the sky.
Reiner stood up slowly, almost like if he did then they wouldn't notice him. But his plan didn't really go as he hoped it would, they both turned to him with a look of disgust.
His twin swords appeared in his hands as he glared at them both, Alexander and Skyler joined by Reiner's sides both wielding their weapons.
"Looks like things are about to get ugly." Reiner said with a smirk on his face.
