Chapter 40: Ch. 40: The Confession



We were trespassing here in the home of the god of war, if he happened to come by which he could at any moment there was a possibility I could come out of the situation given my status here on Olympus but Talos would be in a great deal of trouble. Despite her small size and quite young self she was smart, it would be a shame to lose such a bright young mind.

And there was the other problem of the other intruder, why would Eris break into the house of her own boyfriend just days after their evil deed? Was their love just another ploy to fool me? Either way I just can\'t rule out the fact that Eris came out of her way to warn me back in the underworld but how did she get to the underworld in the first place?

If she had a way to get into the underworld unnoticed then maybe that\'s how she had access to black amber— I bet Hecate knows what that is, if I can find her that is.

Eris warned me not to meet Hermes so I will count her as an ally, for now. I felt something nudge me in the chest and glanced over to Talos who was glaring at me again, if glaring was a sport she would have a gold medal for it. "Why did you have to hit her so hard? She\'s the only clue we have here and she\'s out cold." Was she scolding me or something?

But she was right, we had to find someway to way Eris up somehow.

I ordered Talos to fetch me a cup of water from a tap or wherever she could get it, all she did was glare at me for a bit but she could not argue with me. She came back shortly with the a bottle of water and handed it to me, it felt chil— did it come from a fridge? I still won\'t get used to this tech stuff in a mythology world.

"Next time come with a bottle of water if you are going to break into someone\'s house and then go thirsty." She said with a defiant tone.

I reached out and grabbed her chin, I pressed my thumb hard into her soft cheek and yanked her closed to me. She yelped in a cute way as her eyes flickered for a bit causing her silver eyes to glitter slightly. "You are off the point on this detective, the drink is for our guest here."

I could feel her body totally submit to me, was Talos letting her guard down on purpose? She was playing me, it seemed she was very confident I would not attack her. Such powerful spirit is something I love to see in a woman. I let go of her and opened the bottle of water and doused it on Eris, we waited for a bit but— nothing happened.

"What\'s this? Is there usually a delay or something?" I rubbed my chin and sighed heavily.

Talos crossed her hands and I could tell she was going to say something and for sure it would not be positive. "It\'s concluded, you killed her. But what the hell are we gonna do about the water on the floor? There\'s no way Ares will miss this."

I smiled as I pat her on the back. "Well what do you know, you already volunteered to help clean up." Talos was about to object when Eris sprang back to life, perfect timing if I say so myself. "Oh lookie here, the goddess of strife is awake."

"Huh? Goddess of strife, never knew we had one." Talos muttered as she turned back to face Eris who was reaching for her head.

"Damnit!" Eris held her head and hissed out in pain, following with hundreds of curses. "Why do you have to be such a brute, real men don\'t manhandle women like this. What are you doing here anyway and who\'s the little bitch?"

I walked past Talos and stopped before Eris, I reached out my hand and grabbed her by the neck— and this is where the show gets better. I raised her in the air and activated dominator\'s aura on everyone in the room. My eyes blazed and gave of a dark blue aura, Eris started to struggle in my suffocating grasp and kicking her legs wildly as I choked the air out of her.

She clawed at my iron gasp but to no avail. I let out a light puff of air and started my interrogation. "First thing\'s first, I ask the questions here. Second, Talos is no bitch and you get to not be one if you prove yourself to he useful. Now why the hell are you here? Lie one and die twice!"

Eris\' eyes went white with fear as she coughed out her words. "Acck cann tuuk!" I could feel her body trembling in my grasp, it was nothing I had ever experienced before. The feeling of having a people greatly fear me like that, I felt like a "god". A supreme existence that could not be challenged but I was no monster that would abuse his power. "Peeeese--".

I let her fall to the ground with a loud thump. "Whomp!"

"You\'re insane." Talos breathed out.

My eyes blazed once more as I looked over my shoulder at her and gnashed my teeth. "Was that a threat?"

Her body jumped instinctively and she buckled herself. "This is wrong, you can\'t just go out and threaten people just because they step out of line. Just because you are all powerful don\'t get too full of yourself."

I swear she was one defiant person but I had no timw to waste on her now. I looked down at Eris who was still coughing on the ground. "TALK! Or forfeit your life."

THE CHARACTER "ERIS" HAS BEEN INFLICTED WITH A DEEP STATE OF FEAR.

DOMINATION POINTS HAVE INCREASED BY 200.

Eris started to cry on the floor there, even if she shed blood from her eyes it would not move me one bit. "I told you not to come to the party, Hermes was a nice guy. He did not deserve any of it, he was always that sunny guy that joked a lot. He was scared for for all of us for you. I will tell you everything I know but if you hear what you want will you let me live."

What do you think I was, a monster? If I killed her it would be a waste, keeping her alive might provide another pawn I could use in future. "Your life depends on what you say here and now." I threatened a little.

Eris hiccuped as she rose to her feet and started her confession. "It began when Ares came to me with a proposition, I wasn\'t well known just some background character.

Used to work at a club where I was famous for being wild, unpredictable, I was a problem child to my mother and my sister who was the exact opposite of me-- Ares found me there and said he had chosen me to become his queen, his woman. What he did not tell me was that really wanted my ability to cause strife, it fueled war.

Ares was feeding on my abilities to get stronger it felt like he was preparing for something big. A while later he introduced me to some members of some inner circle-- I barely met anyone there besides Hermes and the red devil."

"Red Devil?" Talos was surprisingly interested in the matter, did she know something? Now why would the term "Devil" appear in a world of Greek mythology?

Eris continued. "It\'s a man who wears a red mask and jacket, he called himself that. He was scary, gave me chills even Hermes was shaking in his boots in front of him. He gave the apple to Ares who handpicked me with the honour of giving it to one of the three goddesses. For some reason they want to throw the world of Olympus into chaos, I came to warn you even though it put my life in danger."

Now it made sense-- partly. "Because you cared for Hermes? Do you know the name of this inner circle and how Ares and Hermes got involved with it?"

She shook her head lightly while avoiding eye contact with me. "No, but it\'s big. I don\'t know much either but the answer is in the book I had with me, as long as you can say the enchantment it will reveal itself."

I took the small book from my pocket and dropped it on the table, "After you then." She could not help but oblige as she walked up to the book and made a weird chant and the book hissed out green smoke.

I opened the book and saw something big—
