"Seriously, those things still exist?! Mom told Xanne and I stories about these creatures that supposedly were a good challenge for her, but I never believed it to be true. She's the strongest fighter I've ever met in my entire life. That's why this planet dubbed her with the name Athena in reference to the Greek goddess. Since she has the "Book of Knowledge" after fighting her and bringing her down. Anyway, that's a story for another time. So, you were saying-" (The doors open and what looks like a priest with a

His slaves disappeared right then, turning into smoke. As the fire roared with renewed fury, Atlas opened the realm. "Get out of here!" he commanded. One by one, the wolves slipped through the opening, leaving only Vulcan and Kael behind. They watched Aurelius stand motionless over his brother’s corpse, his gaze locked on him. "May you rot in hell," Aurelius growled, not at all regretful. ..........

My heart swelled with a blend of hope and trepidation, but I was ready to embrace this challenge. With a final, lingering look from the Goddess, I understood that my journey was about to begin. I would stand beside Arion, escorting the souls of my kind, and when the time came, I would return to Earth—armed with the strength of my experiences and the unwavering love that anchored me to Virgil. In that moment, I felt certain of one thing: no matter the trials ahead, I would fight fiercely for the love that defined me. The love that I had fought so hard for.

Lavinia asks, her eyes fixed on mine. I take a deep breath, trying to find the words to describe what I saw. "Alec," I begin, my voice trembling. "I found him, but he was...he was in pain. Something was wrong with him. And then these things...these wisps...they attacked me. I don't know what they were. Alec was next to water, though. Could he already be at the River Styx?" "It's possible." She presses her fingers to her lips. "I cannot say, for I have no idea how close or far the river is from here. I only know that it's East of my cabin."

Jordan gasped. "I don't want to hear his name coming from your mouth," I scoff and grit my teeth, squeezing her neck. "Care? What an odd thing to say coming from that filthy mouth of an Order. You people make me sick thinking you cared. You are following some fake prophet, and for what? Salvation? Eva is nothing but a witch in disguise. She doesn't care about you. All she wants is power. "P...please..." April wheezes as she begs for her life.

It's a slow and arduous process, but with each brick laid, each seed planted, a sense of purpose grew within us. I take a deep breath and let it out slowly, allowing my lungs to fill with the fresh, natural air. It's been a while since I've felt this kind of peace. Aeolus is here, his daughter and Aeneas are now all part of a strange family. Aeneas is more calm now, as his partner Zareen, has rooted him to the world around him. He brought his brother Cyrus, and he is also present with his mate, though both are at a safer distance. She struggles with the smells of so many creatures, as she is too new in the vampyr world.

Forty-three dead. Caius at the center. Unburned. Screaming. Not in triumph. In terror. Aeron arrived before heaven’s observers. Before hell’s scouts. Before word even traveled fully south.

Caius knelt in the center of a crater, hands pressed to his ears as if to hold the world back inside his skull. Aeron did not approach loudly.

No longer a place of neutral refuge, it had become a maze of danger, where every shadow could conceal an enemy, and every rustle of leaves demanded vigilance. Adrian, Elena, and Marcus moved silently, weaving through the dense undergrowth, each step careful, each breath measured. The aftermath of the Commander’s full assault weighed heavily upon them. Exhaustion clung to their bodies like a second skin, wounds still raw, and the adrenaline that had carried them through the previous battle was slowly ebbing.

Holy Shit! I took a Classical Greek History and Mythology class in my Freshman year at college. I read a lot of Homer and I know how Troy is destroyed when the Trojan War ends.
