She remembered the words of the Moon Goddess as clear as day. ‘A life for a life, Odessa. But for yours, two lives shall be taken. A pact, a promise made. A revengeful soul seeketh not love, But destroys all in its path. A blank slate, do with it, what you will.’ The door to Odessa’s room bursts open, and King Odysseus, with some men and maids, rushes into the room. “My sweet flower,” The King cooed and hurried to his daughter’s side. He sat beside her and pulled her shaking body against his. Odessa didn't give a damn about who he was at that point, she needed a pillar to hold on to and he was hers.

He would have to think on that one some more. When he opened the door, he was greeted by the normal sights and sounds that, for a few minutes earlier, he thought he would never see again. A sharp pain went through his arm, reminding him that he was still there and the pain medication was wearing off. He walked in, and Haven followed, looking around at the place with a soft smile.

It’s the calm before a storm. At the line that seems to mark the edge of their territory, Alex and Odysseus stop. Our group steps out of hiding then, a unified show of force—and support. Odysseus lifts his hands in a peaceful gesture. He’s not here to fight. “We seek passage across the Phlegethon!” he announces, his voice ringing through the air like a bell. A tall centaur with a jet-black horse body and a muscular, tan upper torso steps forward. His black hair is tied back, and his sneer makes it clear he’s not impressed.

Yet even from where I was, I could see the long, dark shadow cast by his lashes beneath his eyes. I studied every subtle change in his expression, trying to discern his thoughts—but still found nothing. At last, I could only ask:

The fight for their world had begun, and they were the first line of defense. The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in vibrant hues, mirroring the newfound purpose that burned brightly within their hearts. The wind whispered through the trees, carrying not only the echoes of battle but also a newfound determination. The battle lines were drawn, the stakes clear. They would stand guard, their strength forged in hardship,their hope fueled by the light within the key, ready to face whatever darkness the future might hold.

My skin is exploding with tingles as if his hands are all over me. Suddenly, a finger slips its way between my folds, and Osiris thrusts it inside me. My hips buck at the intrusion, and I find myself screaming Osiris's name. My eyes begin to flutter open. I am desperate to see what is unfolding around me. "Eyes closed," Osiris growls at me, and I let out a little whimper.

The rest of my warriors , charging toward us through the dark. The ground trembles under their coming. The hum swells until the soil itself shimmers.

The air tastes of iron and ash; the scent of blood, fur, and fire twines thick on the dawn breeze.

I sat upright immediately. “Zephyr…” Outside, the horizon had transformed. Bands of gold, pink, and lavender stretched across the sky. The sun was beginning to rise from the ocean, painting a brilliant path of light across the water. It was breathtaking. Without thinking, I threw off the blankets and hurried toward the balcony. The moment I stepped outside, cool sea air rushed around me. My hair lifted in the breeze as the deep horn of the Ocean Majesty echoed across the water, announcing the beginning of the voyage.
