Trillions of runes, chains, and spells held me back. The room was spacious and cold. I didn't ever really get a chance to explore it though. Not when all these things are keeping me from my freedom. It was so heavy that I'd been crushed into a human form.

Gosh, I didn't even introduce myself. My name is Tia a.k.a Teumessian.

I'm evil and horrible blah, blah, blah. No one has ever listened to my side of the story. Maybe I'm not a ferocious beast? Maybe I have feelings too?! Yet no one cares. They see the destruction I can cause and not who I am. Well now you have to listen to me.

My father, Echidna created me from pure magic. He hoped that maybe I would become a peacemaker among humans. He wanted me to be a goddess. There was a major problem. Someone had tampered with the magic that had been used to create me. My originally peaceful magic morphed and attracted darkness. I became a weapon.

Finally, my negative magic reached a frozen state. I began to excel in lessons with good magic. I earned respect from all the gods and goddesses who used to despise me. That was very short lived.

Dionysus wanted to recruit me. He was the leader of well trained men and women. My magic impressed him and he called for me as soon as I finished training. I was a newbie and didn't understand a thing. The others bullied me and refused to help. On my third day, I was called for an emergency meeting. Thebes (a city in Ancient Greek) had captured a group of demigods and killed them. They were ready for war.

I was sent to fight without a second thought. No one seemed to care that I had never fought in my life. Before entering battle, I was pulled of to the side to speak with Dionysus. My human form was too painful.

"Do you trust me Teumessian?" I hated how he never used my shorter name.

"Yes sir." My green eyes met his blue and I changed. His magic linked to mine and I saw myself vanish. The power over my mind and body was gone.

"That would be your first mistake." He sneered at me.

I had no strength. He had stolen it all and used it against me.

"My plan is in motion. Thebes will rule over Olympus and you'll be in trouble."

"Say goodbye to your freedom Teumessian." I was lost in the darkness of my mind. I was there for hours, days, maybe centuries I didn't really know.

Sometimes I'd see a little light and maybe I would hear a voice. It hadn't mattered though. At that point, I assumed I had gone insane. One day I woke up.

Blood. And it was everywhere.

Zeus was hovering over me. Watching me with a look of distaste.

"Cadmean Vixen, do you know what you have done? You disobeyed all of Olympus and endangered the lives of many. You will be turned to stone in the following month. Laelaps will have the same punishment."

I didn't fear death. However, I was afraid of how I was going to die. Basically I was terrified.

The nymphs had fed me strange foods that made me powerless. Laelaps was no different. We shared the same cell for a while.

"You almost killed me out there. Why would you go against Olympus?" He was sitting on the other side of the room.

"I don't remember anything. The only thing I know is that Dionysus was controlling me Laelaps. He used my power to kill and I can't forgive him."

"Did you try to tell Zeus? Oh, call me Laden."

That's right where we fell for each other. My sentence was first and I did stay in the sky for many lonely nights before jumping into a soul. Laden just followed my scent in a much tinier dog form. He used the wrong spell and ended up with a female soul. Heh, Idiot.

Have I changed your thoughts about me? Or am I still a bloodthirsty monster?

Either way, just remember one thing. Two days left until the solstice. Who will survive?

...

I finally finished! My computer has been acting up where it stays on for a couple of minutes each hour. So I had type this on a different computer. My sister's laptop. She'd kill me for using it so I had to sneak it away. I got caught each time anyway. Sorry for being late.
