Even though Asher knew trouble was coming, he couldn't stop staring at his sister. Actually, most of them could barely comprehend how horrible they looked.

Both were on their stomachs, limps askew. Their skin was a weird mix of sunburned and grey-ish yellow. Their cheeks were sunken in, their eyelids dark. Damien's hair turned slightly to this salt and pepper shade and Sawyer's became more silver. Like corpses.

And Asher couldn't bring himself to move. He wanted to run to his sister, but knew Eris would end her life any second if one of them made a move to them. If they weren't already dead that is.

"Dream Hydra?" Lucas guessed, arms crossed. The bored look on his face made Blaize want to slap him for being so stupid. He should act scared so they wont hurt the two that just got out of Tartarus! Eris's face stayed at it's forced grin, only it was aimed annoyingly at Lucas.

"Oh, you wish." She hummed, "But, lucky for all of you, it's only looking for revenge." Another roar, and it sounded just like the roar of the vision they saw of Damien and Sawyer in Tartarus. Nobody noticed Sawyer and Damien slowly waking up, Eris had everyone's attention now.

"A Cyclopes?" Bunny's eyes narrowed, boomerang in hand.

"Ah, yes, "She laughed giddily, "Oh, I can't wait to see this!"

"Leave my daughter out of this." Jack seethed, " If she get's hurt because of you," He paused for a second, "well, I'll be the first person to kill a goddess." Jack's tone was deadly serious, it was actually terrifying. Even his glare set Kira on edge again, and she knew this was probably rare of him. Very, very rare. She didn't know how her father felt about all of this, but he obviously didn't like it. Eris didn't seem that as a deadly threat.

"Hm. I'm guessing that's too late, isn't it?" Daniel and Patrick had to physically restrain Jack from doing anything he'd regret. Elizabeth, on the other hand, was trying to keep her breathing in check. This was horrible. Absolutely horrible. She could barely take much more of this.

"Tibs," Kira said gently, and her sister gave her a distraught look. "It's okay. Everything's going to be fine,"

"Do you really believe that, Great Spirit of Halloween?" Eris laughed mockingly, and Kira grit her teeth. "Surely you of all people should know evil people should be punished."

"They are children!" Andrew gave full emphasis on that one word, it left a chill in the Guardians. It seemed to hit them in a matter of seconds. They glanced at each other, realizing that they didn't protect two children. Especially when you helped raise two of them.

"I know this," Eris muttered, "Yes, you were right about them getting out of Tartarus, but it was because I let them."

The Cyclopes appeared. It was roughly thirty feat tall, red skin, and wore nothing but a loincloth. It had a club in it's hands and it roared again. Blaize tugged her fang at her lip. Mia slowly drew her bow. Everyone went defensive.

But then Sawyer and Damien went rushing through the group to the Cyclopes. The two worked like a well-oiled machine, as if they planned this out and not just random fighting. Just before the club went down on Sawyer she tumbled to the side, and jabbed at its hand, making it howl. Damien did the rest as she distracted it. Everyone stayed in place, because they were too shocked to move.

"Hey, ugly!" Sawyer yelled, her eyes on fire, "Over here!" It roared again, smashing his hand down next to her, but Sawyer got it easy, because Damien stabbed the back of its neck, and it reduced to a pile of ashes.

It was a short fight, but Sawyer and Damien struggled to stay standing.

"I hate Cyclopes." He said simply, breathing ragged.

"Yep." She agreed, barely noticing that they had people behind them.

"I see you too are feeling better." Eris smirked, and Sawyer and Damien looked at each other with annoyed looks.

"Can you not-" She stopped short of her sentence when she saw her family. They blinked. Jack noticed her body shook, as if standing was too much to handle. Elizabeth noticed that Sawyer's usually pale face was sunburned badly. How was that possible? "M-Mom? Dad?" She squeaked, eyes wide. Jack and Elizabeth forced reassuring smiles to their little girl. Damien remained speechless.

"You-You kept your end of the deal." He looked at Eris in surprise.

"Of course I did," The goddess sighed, crossing her arms, "I wonder how long it takes before you two snap and go insane. I should have left you two until you did." Sawyer set her jaw.

"Look, we made it out of Tartarus," Her voice shook as she shakily took a step forward, but whatever she was going to say next was interrupted.

"Yes, yes, but!" She leaned close to Sawyer's glaring face, and Damien grabbed his sword. "I'm not quite finished with you two heroes." Damien and Sawyer continued to glare, but neither of them said anything. Eris floated back with a challenging smile.

"How?" Damien finally said, "What were you planning? Huh?" Every muscle in his body ached, and he knew Sawyer must have felt the same way.

"Like this." She snapped her fingers, and acid air from Tartarus began to gnaw at their throats and lungs. Sawyer went down first, clawing at her throat, and Damien followed suit.

"What are you doing to them?!" Elizabeth began to run to her writhing daughter, but nearly crashed into Eris.

"I said if any of you tried to help it would cost them their lives." Eris said smoothly, enjoying how much Elizabeth was ready to fall into hysterics. Elizabeth stared at her in horror. "This is what they had to breathe," She said loudly for everyone to hear, "The air in my domain is acidic, but its not this horrible, I assure you." She gave a wicked grin, "But it can when it wants to be." Sawyer and Damien had tears in their wide eyes by now, their throats having scratches on them from their nails.
