The Power to kill a God part 1
It had been 8 years since the daughter of the Ghost of Sparta and former Fury Queen had been brought into the world. Little Sylvia, as they had named her, turned out to be quite the perfect blend of both of her mothers. She had inherited Calliope's dark raven hair and Alecto's natural pale skin. But her personality had been quite interesting as well. She had inherited Calliope's warrior spirit and need for protecting others, as well as Alecto's loving nature, as she loved her mothers greatly. When Sylvia was not fighting, her outfit was a long white/green dress and her fighting armor that of the Athens soldiers. Over the 1st years of her life, young Sylvia had been trained to fight alongside her parents and had been advancing quite fast in her fighting skills, thanks to having Lady Death and Alecto as her teachers, who had also taught her many other subjects as well, including a great talent for singing, which she did as a hobby, much to her mothers' joy.
And because Sylvia was so kind and helpful to the crew, they grew attached to the daughter of Calliope and Alecto, even the captain. The family had served the Gods for nearly 10 years while killing many of Ares' monsters and saving countless lives. But now, on this day, the Ghost of Sparta, the former Fury Queen and their daughter, would take the 1st steps to fulfilling their greatest desire: killing Ares.
Currently, a gigantic beast known as the Hydra had been attacking every single ship unlucky enough to cross its path and the Gods had called upon their 3 champions to finally put an end to its bloody rampages for good. Calliope, Alecto and young Sylvia were standing on the ruined ship of the Hydra's rampage, eager to kill the monster for good.
"Monster, we will send you back the the depths of Hades!" Sylvia yelled out, wanting the beast dead.
"Remember Sylvia, once we find a safe place for you, stay there and don't move. You are strong, sweetheart, but you're not skilled enough to fight a monster like this yet." Calliope told her daughter out of love and concern for her daughter.
"Your mommy is right, sweetheart, just kill as many of these creatures as you can, but leave the majority of them to us." Alecto added after her lover.
"Ok, mommies." Sylvia said with a nod as undead soldiers advanced on the family. While her mother's took out most of the soldiers, Sylvia killed a few of them herself, thanks to her training and her swords that Calliope had given her for a birthday present. A few more undead soldiers came up from below deck and tried to attack the family but we're quickly dealt with.
Calliope went to the deck door and opened it before the family jumped down, where Calliope opened a nearby chest before they moved through the hull of the ship, using their swords to clears the debris until 1 of the Hydra heads burst into the hull. Alecto pulled Sylvia back while Calliope used quick combo attacks to slash through the beast while avoiding its quick attacks until the Ghost of Sparta stunned the head enough to use her blades to knock the head into the walls before getting on the head and stabbing it through the eye, hurting it enough to make it retreat and unblock the family's way.
They walked on the wooden poles while watching their balance until they got to the other side and got outside, where a man in a cage was held. "The Ghost of Sparta and former Fury Queen. I know what the 2 of you have done. I would rather die than be saved by either of you!" He yelled, preferring to die than be saved by the Ghost of Sparta and former Fury Queen.
"We don't have time for this, baby. If he'd rather die than be saved by us, let him. We have a whole ship of people to save." Alecto said as she put a hand on her lover's shoulder.
"All right, baby. Come on Sylvia, let's continue forward." Calliope told her daughter gently.
"Ok mommy, just like you taught me: if someone doesn't want to be saved, then don't bother." Little Sylvia said while remembering a lesson that her mothers had taught her. The went to another ruined entrance of the ship where Calliope opened another chest before they advanced forward while clearing the debris until they got to the deck of the ship where people were running from Ares' flying monsters that the family quickly dealt with while avoiding harming the people until another Hydra head burst through the ship. While Sylvia and Alecto continued to kill the flying monsters, Calliope battled the Hydra head, hurting it enough to make it retreat back to where it came from.
Calliope lifted up a couple of doors to her right that revealed some chests that she opened before the family dove into the water. Calliope and Alecto had taught Sylvia to swim due to being at sea most of her life, so she was an excellent swimmer. The family swam forward before climbing up the netting to another part of the deck. They then killed a couple more undead soldiers before balancing across a set of narrow beams, where Calliope found and opened another chest before they finished their path to the other ship's deck.
More innocent people on the deck were taking cover from a row of archers firing at them. Sylvia got an idea and grabbed a nearby box and used her superhuman strength to kick it to the other side of the deck while using it to block the arrows. When the box was at the other side, Calliope and Alecto got to the next level and quickly killed the archers before helping their daughter up to the ledge. Calliope opened another chest before they went through an entrance and saw the Captain's cabin of the ship.
Calliope looked and saw that the next path they would have to take would lead directly to the Hydra. She turned to Sylvia band knelt down to her level. "Sylvia, sweetheart, you stay here. Your other Mommy and me have to kill this beast alone."
"Your mommy is right, sweetheart. Despite your skills, you're not ready to face a monster like this yet. There's no undead soldiers coming here, so you'll be much safer here." Alecto added after her lover, wanting their daughter safe.
"Okay, mommies, I'll stay here. But please be careful." Sylvia said as she hugged her mothers, not wanting to lose them.
"We'll be careful, sweetheart, just stay safe and hidden until we come back. If any soldiers come here, you know what to do." Calliope said before they both kissed Sylvia's forehead before she went to a place she could hide until they came back for her.
When Sylvia was safely hidden, Calliope and Alecto reluctantly went up ladder and then up a net, while fighting off a bunch of undead soldiers until they got to the very top of the mast and Calliope went to the left and opened another chest before Alecto flew with her lover to another ship. Calliope opened 2 more chests before they went into the hall of the ship and came upon a blue glowing doorway where the head of Poseidon appeared.
"Lord Poseidon." Calliope greeted coldly.
"Calliope and Alecto, before you proceed with your task, I have something to give you, Calliope. This beast, this Hydra, has been terrorizing my seas for far too long now. Your skills are admirable, but it will take much more than that to defeat this beast. You will need...the power of the Gods. Take this power and use it to crush your enemies." Poseidon said before he bestowed upon Calliope the Rage of Poseidon.
Suddenly, a few undead soldiers appeared but Calliope used her new power to kill them all with 1 attack, which thankfully didn't harm Alecto. After the soldiers were all defeated, the 2 lovers and parents advanced forward until they got outside again and Calliope opened 2 more chests before Alecto flew them both up to the ship's deck, where they saw the captain of the ship and 2 crew members fighting off the Hydra but we're losing badly, due to the larger Hydra head healing the smaller ones.
After the crew were all killed, the larger Hydra head swallowed the captain whole, but not before the 2 lovers saw that he had the key to his cabin around his neck. Calliope and Alecto saw the 2 blocks with sharp edges above the smaller Hydra heads and quickly got an idea. They quickly engaged the smaller Hydra heads, slashing them and greatly hurting them while avoiding their attacks until they were knocked unconscious, allowing the Ghost of Sparta and former Fury Queen to get on the boxes and bring the blocks down on the Hydra heads, pinning them to the deck but not killing them. The 2 lovers them flew up to the high platform where they engaged the larger Hydra head, avoiding its bite attacks and its large loud roar while Alecto smashed it with her swords while Calliope used the Rage of Poseidon to electrocute it, stunning it enough for Calliope to use her blades to smash the head into the mast. They repeated the process 2 more times until the mast was finally destroyed, leaving a sharp wooden pole and allowing Calliope to use her blades to impale the Hydra head on it until it got to the deck, preventing the head from escaping before it finally died, making the smaller Hydra heads explode. Calliope and Alecto quickly went inside the larger Hydra head's mouth and quickly found the captain, struggling to climb up from its throat. They tried to pull him up to save his life but he slipped from their grasp but the 2 lovers quickly grabbed his cabin key and a journal that had been in his belt. Alecto and Calliope looked at each other with remorse before they got out of the Dead Hydra's mouth.
"Well, we may not have been able to save the captain of the ship and many other innocent people, but at least they're avenged now that this fucking ugly freak is dead, baby."Alecto said with remorse for all the innocent people that died because of the Hydra.
"I know, baby, but now's not the time to mourn for them. Let's get back to our precious Sylvia. She must be getting worried about us." Calliope said, only thinking about their sweet little princess at the moment.
"Of course, baby. Let's go back to our little Sylvia." Alecto said before she goes with her lover in her arms back to the Captain's cabin. But when they got there, they saw that the door was broken down and that Sylvia was nowhere to be seen, much to both parents' great concern for their little princess.
Earlier with Sylvia just as her mothers left to kill the Hydra
The little Spartan warrior was still in her hiding place for a few minutes, worried about her mothers until she heard screaming coming from inside the Captain's cabin. "AAHHHHH! Please, help us! Get us out, please. Find the key! Find the key!" A woman yelled out in fear.
Sylvia knew she had to help the innocent women in the cabin, due to what her mother Calliope had always taught her and quickly ran to the door. When she tried to open the door, it was locked tight, despite her best efforts to open it. Suddenly, she heard undead moaning and terrified screaming coming from the cabin. At that moment, something within her snapped and her birthmark began to glow. "RRRRRRRRHHHHHH!" She yelled as she used her now unlocked Spartan Rage to break down the locked door before she ran through the hallway of the cabin and broke down the other door before seeing 3 undead soldiers walking towards the terrified women. Sylvia quickly jumped forward and battled the soldiers intensely before she killed the 1st soldier by stabbing it in the head, decapitating the 2nd soldier in a second and finally using her swords to slice the 3rd one in half lengthwise. When the soldiers were all dead, Sylvia looked at the women, who were shocked at what they saw. Seeing them all safe made Sylvia calm down as her birthmark lost its glow and she passed out, as she had never used her Spartan Rage before. 1 of the women walked up to Sylvia and took her in her arms before taking her outside just before Calliope and Alecto got back.
At the present
Calliope and Alecto saw the women coming out of the cabin with Sylvia in her arms, concerning the 2 mothers. "Sylvia! Sweetheart, are you alright?" Calliope said as she gently touched her daughter.
"What happened to our daughter?!" Alecto demanded, wanting to know what happened to her little princess.
"It's alright, Ex-Fury Queen. Your daughter is okay. In fact... she's the 1 who saved me and the others. Her birthmark was glowing when she killed those monsters and she looked like she was...lost in some kind of rage that she could not control. When the monsters were all dead and she saw that we were safe, her rage calmed down and her birthmark glow faded before she passed out." The woman revealed as she handed Sylvia to Calliope.
"So Sylvia has the rage of a Spartan as well, the same rage I do. I should have known that she'd inherit it. But since this was her 1st time using it, she passed like I did my 1st time. But over time, when she's older, she'll learn to control it as I have." Calliope explained as she looked at her passed out daughter before she saw that their ship was near.
"You all are the only survivors. Come aboard our ship and we'll take you away from here to Attica. That's where we're going." Alecto offered the survivors, making them nod before they boarded the ship and sailed away from the wreckages.
A few hours later
After Calliope and Alecto put Sylvia on her bed and got her comfortable, they read the ship's journal from the captain they tried to save, finding out that he was going to feed all those innocent people that Sylvia saved to the Hydra, making both women disgusted that they tried to save that asshole's life at first but we're now grateful he was dead in the stomach if the Hydra.
1 hour later, Sylvia woke up in her bed, with her mothers at her side. She immediately hugged them both, happy that they were alright. "Oh mommies, I was so worried you."
"It's alright, sweetheart, we're all safe now. The Hydra is dead and the seas are safe to sail once again." Calliope said with a smile as she rubbed her daughter's cheek.
"And the women you saved are on board, too, sweetie. They're very grateful that you saved them. And we're so very proud of you, too, sweet little princess." Alecto added as both proud parents gave their daughter a hug.
After Sylvia lied back down to sleep, Calliope and Alecto went to their hut and they got in their bed to get some rest as well after all they'd just went through. The next day, the family decided to use their free time to visit Attica for a few days. When they got there, Calliope and Alecto were hailed as heros by the citizens of the city, thanking them for saving them from the Persian army 8 years ago. The two lovers and their daughter were even invited to the governor's as honorary guests and spent a few days there, with Sylvia playing with the governor's children and telling them about her and her mothers' adventures, which excited them all. On the last day of their stay in Attica, the governor threw a party, with 2 sexy dancing women serving as the entertainment. Calliope and Alecto recognized them as the ones they had saved from the Persian king while they also remembered the promise the 2 lovers gave to them for a good fuck, which they could do now that Calliope wasn't pregnant anymore.
As the family was about to leave the next morning, the two sexy women met with the 2 lovers on board their ship, eager to have fun with the two heroines. But Calliope stated simply. "Not until tonight. Our daughter is on this ship as well and we don't want her to hear us."
"But don't worry, we'll have fun as soon as our little girl is asleep. But until then, you'll just have to wait a little longer. Alecto added after her lover. The two sexy women were a bit disappointed that they needed to wait a bit longer but they understood.
Hours later
As the sun was going down and they were in the middle of the sea, the ship was about to enter a storm. While some of the crew were occupying themselves with whatever they enjoyed the most, Sylvia was giving a new song to the crew.
"You know we can get away
Because I'm calling your name
Every day I feel this pain
But you just turn and walk away
No
I just can't keep hanging on to you and me
I just don't know what is wrong with you and me
Touch me and then turn away
And put your hands into the flame
Tell me if you feel this pain
'Cause I don't wanna be a ball and chain
No
I just can't keep hanging on to you and me
I just don't know what is wrong
You've got a noose around my neck, but I'm still hanging on
We've nearly reached the finish line up in our marathon
I spat a verse, she sang a song
She broke my heart, I took some Gaviscon
I just can't keep hanging on to you and me
With you and me, with you and me"
The crew always liked little Sylvia singing, even the two sexy women were impressed, so one of them said to Alecto "Wow. She's a very talented singer. You must be very proud to have such a daughter like her."
Alecto nodded with a smile and said. "I'm more than happy to have her as my child, and so is her birth mother."
"Indeed I am, baby, she's such a blessing." Calliope said with a fond smile as she listened to her daughter sing.
Sylvia didn't mind the 2 women being on the ship and being in their hut with them as she was used to her mothers taking 1 or 2 women with them on their journeys sometimes, but her mothers never told the reason why due to her being too young to understand, but they did tell her that they would be joining them for a special game that was only for adults, which the little girl accepted.
After a few hours, Sylvia was feeling tired and started to yawn. Calliope knew that it was time for her to sleep, she carried her to her hut and put her in her bed, making sure she was as comfortable as possible before closing the door on her way out. After that was done, Calliope and Alecto took the two sexy women to their hut to have their reward sex.
Once they were in the hut and the door was closed, the two sexy women started with stripping themselves before their champions before touching and kissing each other to turn Calliope and Alecto on as their tongues danced with each other and they tasted each other's saliva, which worked as the 2 lovers were getting wet from seeing this sexy display before they stripped out of their clothes until they were both completely naked and got on their bed.
When Calliope and Alecto lie on the bed, the 2 sexy women crawled onto their laps and start making out with their champions, by tongue kissing them and touching their breasts and pussies. "Oh fuck yeah! This feels so fucking good!" Alecto moaned as her woman licked and sucked on her breasts while fingering her pussy, allowing her women to do whatever she wanted to with her.
Calliope, on the other hand, was more dominant and took over her women by having sex with her, using the skills she learned by screwing other women in the past. The woman didn't mind Calliope being dominant with her, as she could understand that Alecto was the Ghost of Sparta's true love. "Oh yeah, my champion! Fuck me! Dominate me and use me for your pleasure!" The woman moaned as Calliope ate her out while rubbing her breasts and pinching her nipples.
"Oh, I'll dominant you, sexy girl, but don't even think about trying to take control. I'm the more dominant when fucking other women besides my true love, Alecto." Calliope said in her dominant sexy voice before fingering her pussy.
After a few minutes of Calliope and Alecto pleasuring the 2 sexy women, they finally climaxed in the 2 lovers' mouths, sending their juices into them, which they drank every last drop of. They then switched with the women and both 69ed each other, eating the other out before they all climaxed. After that, Calliope and Alecto went pussy to pussy, making the two women to watch them. The two sexy women were so turned on by just watching their champions having sex that they masturbated themselves, wanting to have that kind of fun, too. When Calliope and Alecto had climaxed, they took the two sexy women and performed the pussy to pussy position to both of them, making them feel great pleasure as they all moaned loudly.
"Oh yeah! Fuck me, champion! Fuck me! Rub our pussies with yours and don't fucking stop for anything!" The 2 sexy women yelled out, not wanting the pleasure they were feeling to stop.
"Oh it won't stop. We're not done with either of you until we're both satisfied with the pleasure of this great foursome!" Calliope moaned out.
"So get ready for a long not of pleasurable fun, you 2, 'cause it's going to be a very long and sexy night!" Alecto added as she and her lover rubbed their pussies with the 2 women faster, making all 4 of them moan loudly as the only sounds they could her was their moans of pleasure and the squishing sound of their pussies rubbing together.
They had this foursome for many hours until they all fell asleep because of exhaustion, with the two sexy women cuddling to their champions. But
Calliope had trouble sleeping because she had another nightmare about her father's memories, when he killed her mother and when he was killed by her. She sat on the edge of the bed, nearly going crazy because of these damn memories of her father, and even after 10 years of loyal service to the Gods of Olympus, they still hadn't taken these memories out of her head.
"ATHENA!" Calliope screamed the name of the Goddess watching over them. On the deck of the ship, the statue of Athena was glowing, coming to life as Calliope marched forward it wearing only a coat with nothing underneath it. Calliope faced Athena's statue while it rained. "10 years Athena! Me and Alecto have served the Gods for 10 years! When will you guys finally forgive my lover of her sins and relieve me of these damn memories and nightmares!?"
Athena then told Lady Death that the Gods only require one last task from her and her Fury lover. "We understand your troubles, Calliope. The Gods request only 1 final task of you and Alecto. Your greatest challenge awaits... in Athens. Where even now, my brother, Ares lays siege." Calliope was surprised after Athena told her that her greatest enemy is now in Athens. "Athens is on the verge of destruction. It is the will of Ares, that my great city falls. Zeus has forbidden the Gods from waging war on each other. That is why it must be you, Calliope and Alecto. Only a mortal and a Fury have a chance at defeating Ares.
Calliope's anger rose as she held her fist tight. Finally after so many years, she will finally have her revenge on the God that ruined her life and had taken everything from her. Then she tried calmly asking Athena. "And after we've killed flame hair, then the sins of Alecto will be forgiven, and these memories will be taken out of my head?"
For a few seconds, Athena was quiet but then she answered. "Complete this final task, Lady Death and all the sins your lover has done and the past that consumes you will be forgiven. Have faith Calliope, the Gods do not forget those who come to their aid." That was when her statue didn't glow anymore.
Alecto, being woken up by Calliope's reaction, came on deck shortly after Athena's statue glowed no more. Calliope, being nearly soaking wet, turned and looked at her lover determined, saying. "The Gods have only one final task, babe. They need us... to kill Ares."
Alecto was surprised to hear that, but then she looked determined as well, being ready to finally got rid of the man that had hurt her lover to many times and troubled both of them for too long. "Where is he now?"
"In Athens, he and his minions are laying siege on the city. We have to help them."
Alecto nodded, but then she held Calliope's cheeks. "Then we will go, but first, you need to rest, baby." Calliope didn't object and went back inside their hut to sleep, but not before ordering the ship's captain to set sail for Athens.
Their ship arrived at the coast close to Athens early in the morning. Calliope and Alecto had already prepared themselves as neither of them had slept much. The 2 sexy women wanted to stay a bit longer and have some more pleasure, but Calliope insisted that they needed to get ready. Not much later, Calliope went to Sylvia's hut. She saw her still peacefully sleeping on her bed. Calliope smiled a bit as she crouched close to her and shook her carefully, whispering. "Sylvia... wake up."
Sylvia growled a bit and she woke up, rubbing her eyes. "Hmmm?"
"Get yourself dressed. We have to get ready, sweetheart."
Slowly little Sylvia's eyes opened and asked her mother, still sleepy. "For what, mommy?"
"For facing Ares." Calliope answered.
This made Sylvia more awake now before she nodded and went out of bed to prepare herself. Calliope helped her daughter to get her gear. Even though she and Alecto had taught their daughter many fighting skills, both knew Sylvia wasn't ready yet for any big fighting. However, Calliope had taught Sylvia a few tricks to defend herself, should it come to that.
And with that, Calliope and her family left the rotting body of the Hydra behind and set sail, to where their greatest challenge awaited: in the ancient city of Athens.
When the ship docked at the Gates of Athens, the family was preparing to leave the ship. Sylvia walked up to the statue of Athena before it glowed and spoke to the little girl. "Stay safe, young Sylvia. For great dangers lie ahead of you."
Sylvia nodded, showing that she understood before walking up to her mothers as they got off the ship and went through the docks, Calliope and Alecto took care of most of the monsters, for they were better armed and experienced. Sylvia kept her distance while her mothers killed most of the monsters but a few of them recognized the little girl and tried to capture her while her mothers were distracted from fighting with the rest of the monsters, but Sylvia, being a skilled warrior herself, quickly decapitated them.
When the monsters were dead, the family ran through the docks while Calliope opened the chests around the area before eventually getting to an elevator and going to the 2nd level, where 2 Minotaurs killed 2 soldiers before advancing on the family. Sylvia kept her distance, as she wasn't skilled enough to take on Minotaurs yet. Calliope and Alecto quickly killed the 2 monsters before they moved forward, with Calliope opening another chest before the family took the elevator to the 3rd level to the ruined gate of Athens, where 2 soldiers behind it were shortly killed by Ares' minions. 2 Cyclops with a mace for a right arm appeared and Alecto and Calliope fought and killed them using quick combos while avoiding their attacks and quickly killed a 3rd while Sylvia kept her distance.
After the Cyclops were all dead, Calliope opened the chests in the area before the family went through an open doorway to the right and entered a room with huge boxes. Calliope quickly destroyed the wooden ones, the 1 to the far end of the room revealing an entrance to another room, while Sylvia got on Alecto's back. The family climbed to the top while Calliope opened the chests around the area before they made it to the next room, allowing Sylvia to get off her other mother's back before they all went into the next room with a glowing doorway similar to the 1 on the family's ship.
They went to the doorway where the head of Aphrodite appeared. "Hello, Aphrodite." Alecto said with a glare.
"Calliope and Alecto, the Gods are impressed with your progress and your daughter's as a warrior, but your current skills won't be enough to stop the minions of Ares. I offer you both the power to freeze your enemies where they stand." The Goddess of Love, Lust and Sex said before a Gorgon appeared into the room. "Medusa, Queen of the Gorgons. Bring me her head, and I'll grant you her power."
"Calliope, let me handle Medusa, you and Sylvia stay back and keep your eyes closed." Alecto told her lover, wanting her and her little warrior princess safe.
Calliope nodded before taking Sylvia and covering them both with her cape before Alecto began to fight with Medusa, avoiding her stone gaze as much as she could while using the Apollo's Ascension, followed by Apollo's Offense while in air that Calliope had taught her when they 1st began serving the Gods. In a matter of minutes, Alecto ripped Medusa's head off before presenting it to Aphrodite as 3 Minotaurs appeared.
"Freeze them all to earn the power of Medusa, Alecto." Aphrodite instructed the ex Fury Queen, making her do just that as all 3 Minotaurs were quickly turned to stone by Medusa's head before Calliope shattered them all with her blades. "Go forth, Calliope, Alecto and little Sylvia. Go forth in the name of Olympus." Aphrodite said before granting the family passage through the doorway.
"This power will come in great handy, baby. Now we can deal with our enemies much easier and faster, especially the very big ones." Calliope said with a smirk, knowing that with the power of Medusa, the family would be able to deal with their enemies much easier and faster now.
"Indeed baby, because we only need to use it to deal with the biggest ones, that way Sylvia will be a little safer now. But a Gorgon's power won't work on their own kind, so we'll have to kill the Gorgons the old fashioned way." Alecto reminded her lover, knowing that even with the Queen of Gorgon's power, using it on other Gorgons wouldn't work as they were immune to it.
"So other Gorgons are immune to the stone gaze power, mommies?" Sylvia asked with curiosity.
"That's right, our little warrior princess. Remember what we taught you about Gorgons; that its stone can freeze any creature except their own kind. So you must avoid the gaze at all costs and let us take care of the Gorgons." Calliope instructed her daughter as she stroked her hair, along with Alecto.
"Ok mommy, I'll stay away from the Gorgons and just kill a few monsters like you and mama told me." Sylvia said sweetly while hugging her mothers.
The family went through the doorway and down the hallway where a few of Ares' soldiers appeared but Calliope killed them all with her Rage of Poseidon attack before they climbed up the ladder and turned the crossbow around with a lever and Alecto fired it, destroying the wooden door before Calliope turned the crossbow to the left and fired it at the cracked wall, destroying it and revealing another chest that the Ghost of Sparta opened, along with the other chests in the area before they went down the hallway and went right and climbed up another ladder and dealt with a few soldiers before Sylvia climbed up Alecto's back, allowing the family to climb the walls to the other side while killing the soldiers that tried to stop them, where Calliope pushed down a giant statue, providing them with a way to advance further. Alecto flew her family safely back down to where they entered the building and they climbed up another ladder above the statue head, where Calliope dealt with a few Gorgons with the Rage of Poseidon before the 2 lover went up to the 2nd level and Calliope fought with a Gorgon while Alecto used the Head of Medusa to kill the Minotaurs before Sylvia climbed up the building and rejoined her mothers before Alecto flew them to the top roof and they killed a few soldiers before Calliope fired the crossbow, creating a rope for them to go across the huge gap to the other side. While Sylvia was on Alecto's back, her parents crossed the rope while dealing with a few soldiers until they got to the other side and Alecto hovered them down safely inside the building they were in before, only now they were on the other side of the metro door, which Calliope opened before Alecto turned the crossbow and Sylvia fired it at the 2nd wooden door, letting 3 Minotaurs out. Alecto quickly used Medusa's head to turn them to stone before Calliope shattered them. After they were all dead, the family climbed down the ladder and crossed a bridge before stepping on a platform that began to glow before the Oracle of Athens appeared before them.
"Do not fear, Calliope, Alecto and little Sylvia, I am the Oracle of Athens, here to help the 3 of you defeat Ares. Find my temple to the east. And there, I will show you how to defeat a God. The Oracle said before her projection disappeared.
The family got to the other side of the bridge and saw none other than the 1 that had caused them all so much pain and had ruined Calliope's life: the God of War Ares, on the battlefield in the city in his giant form, terrorizing the city and killing its people. Both Calliope and Alecto looked to him with hatred, but Sylvia was more scared than she had ever been in her whole life. Despite having her mothers at her side and being trained to fight, she was unprepared for what was going to happen when they finally face Ares.
Her mothers noticed that their daughter was afraid and knelt down to her level. "Sylvia, sweetie, are you afraid?" Alecto asked sweetly to her daughter.
"Yes mama, I'm...just scared of what's going to happen when we finally face Ares. I mean, he is the God of War and has much more experience than all 3 of us combined. What if we can't defeat him?" Sylvia asked as she held her mothers tightly while admitting that she was terrified.
"It's alright, sweetheart. It's only natural to feel scared, especially when you're about to face seemingly impossible odds, but remember what we've always told you: as long as we're here, we will never, ever let anything happen to you." Calliope said soothingly, reminded her little warrior princess that as long as she and Alecto were alive, nothing bad would ever happen to her. Sylvia nodded and the family kept moving before looking at Ares 1 more time with hate.
The family went to the left and went through a gateway that shut after a fireball hit it and saw a pressure pad that opened the next gate in the room, along with 2 Minotaurs, which Alecto quickly turned to stone as soon as they both stepped on the pad, opening the gate. After Calliope opened another chest, the family went through the gate and headed back out to the main road. Where a number of enemies tried to attack them, but all failed and we're killed. When Calliope was distracted by killing some archers, 1 Gorgon tried to turn Sylvia to stone but she quickly closed her eyes before Alecto saved her just in time. The family continued down the main road before they destroyed the road block while Alecto turned 2 Minotaurs to stone before they all swinged on 2 ropes to get across the canyon, with Sylvia swinging 2nd because it was safer that way. When the family got across the canyon, they continued forward and got to Athens Town Square.
After going up the stairs, a barrier appeared in 4 Cyclops attack while innocent people were running for their lives. While Sylvia was trying to get the people to safety, her mothers fought with the Cyclops, with Alecto using Medusa's head and Calliope using the Rage of Poseidon and her blades to kill them until they were all dead, making the barriers disappear. The family went through the building to the left and Calliope opened the hidden chests before they saw a woman running through the building. They followed her through the building to the upper floor all the way outside and jumped across the gap before going into the building and up the stairs where the woman was standing and walked up to her.
"I know who you 2 are and what you've been doing, champions. I've heard of your reputation." She said as she reached for the key and gave it to Sylvia. "Perhaps this will help you move further into Athens and hopefully, Ares will be stopped." She said with a smile as she rubbed the little girl's hair, making her smile before an arrow went through her chest as she stood up and she fell off the balcony, dying from impact.
"No!" Sylvia yelled as she tried to save the woman but was held back by her mothers.
"Sylvia, there's nothing we can do for her!" Calliope said with regret as she hugged her daughter close to her.
"But we can't let her death be for nothing. We have to use the key and advance further. It's the only way this can stop." Alecto added after her lover, wanting this to finally end.
Sylvia wiped her tears away and looked at the women 1 more time before they went to the right and saw a wooden door that Sylvia unlocked with the key before opening it and the family went inside it and saw that they were on the other side of the cage in the town square that Calliope quickly opened before the family moved forward down the hallway to another date that Alecto opened and they got to the rooftops of Athens.
As the family climbed up on the rooftops, they stopped to save the soldiers from being slaughtered by Ares' minions but couldn't save all of them and watched as Ares entered the city. They dealt with a few more minions, including a few more wraiths and 2 cyclops and when they were all dead, Calliope found a secret ledge and opened another chest before the family went back the way they came and went through the doorway at the base of the stairs and turned left outside to find another chest that Calliope opened before they can upon a walkway that was broken off, revealing a large open chasm.
After Sylvia got on Alecto's back, the family jumped across to the nearest platform and jumped onto the ivy covered pillar ahead. Once on the pillar, they climbed right until they followed the ivy to the bottom of the pillar. From the bottom, the family started moving left around the outside of the pillar to reach the patch of ivy that was facing the nearby balcony. From there, they jumped to the balcony and fought off the wraiths that appeared before continuing through the hall behind to kill the archers on the next balcony. Calliope kicked the wooden bridge down before they returned to the first pillar and crawled around to the other side of it before jumping backwards to grab ahold of a second pillar before crawling around it and jumping to the landing on the other side and took the path to the left, following the arching walkway that led under a few archers. But during all this, the feeling of being hopeless had finally caught up with Sylvia. After seeing so much suffering and destruction across Athens then she had ever seen before, she was starting to feel traumatized after seeing so many awful things
When they entered the building, the family looked to the left is a large bow and arrow mechanism that they knew would be useful and shoved it to the next room where Calliope opened the 1st door to the left and killed a few undead soldiers with the Rage of Poseidon before Alecto and Sylvia put the bow and arrow on a turning mechanism before Calliope pulled the lever once before Alecto pushed the crossbow off, allowing Calliope to pull the lever again so it wouldn't turn into the same direction before Alecto pushed the crossbow back on and Sylvia pulled the lever to make the arrow point to the wooden door on the far end of the room before Sylvia shot the arrow at it, allowing the family to go down the hallway to the next room and to a glowing doorway that Calliope walked up to before Zeus' head appeared.
"Lord Zeus." Calliope greeted as Alecto and Sylvia bowed.
"Calliope, you and your family grow stronger as your journey continues. But if you are to succeed in your quest, you will need my aid. I offer you the power of the greatest of all the Gods: the father of Olympus, the power of Zeus. Take this weapon, Calliope, and use it to defeat your enemies." The King of the Gods said before bestowing Calliope with Zeus' Fury. "Go forth, Calliope, Alecto and Sylvia. Go forth in the name of Olympus." Zeus said before he granted the family passage through the doorway.
The family went through the doorway and back outside of the building where the Ghost of Sparta used her new attack to kill the archers on the roof before they went to the right and went up a ladder to the rooftops, where Calliope and Alecto dealt with a few Minotaurs and Harpys before Calliope opened the chests around the area before Alecto destroyed a stone wall before Sylvia got on her back and they jumped on ivy that led to the next rooftop where they went up a ramp and saw a man holding a lever that extended the bridge.
"You! We must get across! Let go of the lever and extend the bridge!" Calliope told the scared man.
"No! I won't let them get me! They won't get across! These monsters… I won't let them get me!" The man said, scared like a maniac.
"What do we do, Mommies? We won't be able to get across as long as he holds that lever." Sylvia said in anger at the cowardly man.
Calliope sighed before she signaled Alecto to cover their daughter's eyes, which she did before Lady Death reluctantly used Zeus' fury to kill the scared man, releasing the lever and extending the bridge. The family crossed the bridge and went inside the building where Calliope opened 2 more chests before they ran through the hallway where Calliope used the Rage of Poseidon to kill a few wraiths and the advanced forward and went down an elevator and saw the Oracle, standing on the other side of the building on a staircase.
Calliope called out to the Oracle. "Oracle!"
She turned and ran to them. "Calliope! Alecto! Praise Athena you have arrived!" But then, she was being taken by Ares' minions.
"Leave her alone!" Sylvia yelled, but the monsters ignored her and took the Oracle with them.
The Oracle begged the champions to save her. "No No.. Calliope, Alecto! You must find me! You must find me, Athens depends on it!"
The family knew the Oracle was their only hope at killing Ares and that they had to save her. They balanced across the shattered bridge to the other side and ran up the stairs then continued up the mountain path. Along the way, they run into a few undead soldiers that they quickly killed before continuing down the path all the way to the Oracle's Temple.
They crossed over the lengthy bridge to the courtyard ahead, where they saw the Oracle still in Ares' minions' hands. A barrier surrounded the area and were forced to face off against harpys and gorgons, which Sylvia avoided and let her mothers kill them all. When they were all dead, the barriers disappeared.
When the family went to the stairs, they saw a gravedigger digging a grave. "Hahahahahaha. Good, my child. Athena has chosen wisely. I knew it was so."
"Who are you?" The Ghost of Sparta asked, demanding to know who this gravedigger was.
"So, Calliope, you have the Blades. Skin as lake as the moon and Eve the ex Fury Queen at your side. Maybe Athens will survive at that. Hahahaha. But be careful, Calliope, I don't want you dying before I'm done with this grave." The Gravedigger said before returning to his work.
"A grave...in the middle of a battle? Who will occupy it, old man?" Alecto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Calliope will, Alecto. Oh I've got a lot of digging to do indeed. All will be revealed in good time. And when all hope seems lost, Lady Death, I will be there to help you and your family." The Gravedigger said with a look that Sylvia didn't like.
The family walked away and into the temple but Sylvia looked at the Gravedigger with distrust because she could feel that something wasn't right about him. The family went through the hallway and into a room where Harpys came out of the walls. While Sylvia kept her distance, her parents used the statues on the ledge on the far end of the room to block the holes to keep the harpys in the walls. Alecto opened the cage on the left part of the room and the family went to the 2nd floor and balanced across the crumbling rafters to reach the other side of the hall while Calliope opened the chests around the area before they went through the hallway where they killed a few of Ares' soldiers before the family got to the outside balcony where they saw Ares harpys try to drop the Oracle to her death but she caught a rope in time but was slipping slowly.
"Calliope. Alecto, help!" She called out to her champions. Alecto quickly flew up to the Oracle and quickly caught her before she slipped from the rope.
And with that act, Calliope and Alecto set in motion the events that would change their lives forever and eventually change the course of the entire world.
"Are you alright, Oracle?" Calliope asked as she and their daughter joined Alecto.
"I am, Calliope. But I'm afraid you're too late. Athens is almost destroyed...or is it Athens you have come to save?" The Oracle asked before she put her hands on Calliope's head and looked into her soul, seeing her memories and the memories of her father. After seeing her memories and all she had to endure throughout her whole life, the oracle was shocked after seeing all of it as she is go of the Ghost of Sparta. "By the Gods! You... have suffered so much."
"Stay out of my head!" Calliope yelled to the oracle, not wanting to bring those awful memories of herself and her father up.
The oracle warned the Ghost of Sparta. "Choose your enemies wisely, Calliope. Your brute strength, and that of your lover's will not be enough to destroy Ares."
"Then how can we destroy him?" Calliope asked after calming down.
The Oracle then told the family of the thing that will help them to destroy the God of War for good as she used her magic to open the gate where one could enter the desert of Lost Souls. "Only one item in the world will allow you to defeat a God... The Box of Chaos. Which lies far beyond the walls of Athens. Hidden by the Gods across the dessert to the east. But be warned, Lady Death, many have gone in search of the Box of Chaos, none have returned."
Both Calliope and Alecto had heard tales about the dessert of lost Souls, where anyone who went there never returned. The Ghost of Sparta knew that it was all too dangerous for their daughter to go to. Calliope then looks at Alecto and said. "I will go alone, Alecto. You stay here with Sylvia."
But Alecto protested against this. "What? No! I'm going with you Calliope!"
"Alecto, listen. The Desert of lost Souls is too dangerous for Sylvia, and one of us needs to stay behind to take care of her to make sure Ares doesn't get to her."
Alecto sighed, knowing that her lover was right. She then nodded and said. "Alright, but at least let me and Sylvia come with you to the gate."
"Okay." Calliope said with a smile, wanting to at least let her lover and daughter see her off. They then moved together with their daughter through the Sewers of Athens where the gate to the dessert was, slaughtering many monsters in their way while Calliope opened more chests along the way.
When they made it to the opened gate that led to the Dessert of lost Souls, the two lovers gave each other a passionate kiss before saying goodbye. "Please be careful, my love." Alecto said softly.
"I will, baby, I promise." Calliope then knelt down to Sylvia as she saw tears come from her little girl's eyes. Calliope wiped away the tears and smiled at her. "Don't worry, sweetheart. I won't be long gone." She said before kissing her little warrior princess on the forehead and then slowly departed. As the Ghost of Sparta then ran into the Dessert of lost Souls, some tears fell from her eyes, as she had to leave her lover and daughter behind to face whatever lies ahead...alone.
There you go, my friends, the chapter is finally complete. Next will be Calliope's journey through the Temple of Chaos and it will be a very long 1. Rate and review. See you soon, my friends.
