Immortalis : Kallisté

I saw how Celine is about to panic when the woman we can't see spoked those words, I recollected myself and scanned the area and I saw nicholas doing the same thing.

"I admire your brave soul! Daughter of Athena" The creepy voice of a woman lspoke once more.

"Show yourself you witch!" Celine shouted

"Calm down Celine! FOCUS!" Nicholas shouted as well, and I tried relaxing so I can pinpoint the location where the sound is coming, I also tried to count how much arrows I've used and I'm down to 3 more shots and there are roughly 20 to 30 makhais plus 1 unknown woman.

"Should I claim your lives now? or should I toy with you all and make you experience a death like no other?" She said and her voice made it way way creepier "Just give me my mother's satchel and I might spare you all" she added

"Threats huh?! why don't you show yourself and we'll see!" Celine's voice is full of courage I look at her direction and this girl's body looked really tense and ready to kill anyone that comes near, And that made me confuse on who should I fear between this women.

"is that a counter threat I hear?! Hah! you really are funny! I think not everyone on Athena's nest are boring! Amuse me more child!" the woman announced and finally I started seeing who she is, a tall skinny woman I don't know if skinny is the correct term I think this woman is a walking bones wearing a red robe embelish with gold designs, her face is not showing but her golden eyes it glimmers, striking fear in our hearts as she continues to show herself I saw a huge black wings and a sack full of foods, who is this woman?.

i shift my vision to nicholas - I saw his face even from afar I can tell that he's beading sweats on his face, he is feeling fear - that makes me even wonder whose this mysterious woman is but I can tell she is no normal being she radiates power that even nicholas left speechless.

"Who are you supposed to be granny?!" Celine finally speaks but how I wish she didn't insult her.

"Celine not the right time to be all courageous" nicholas said and I still continue to watch them, I gotta be honest my senses is telling me to run away and hide but I cant just leave them here, I can use few of whatever's left on my ammo, but judging how nicholas is keenly careful to do a thing tells me that i should not be very bold and tactless right now - but what should I do? think Micheal.

"Ahhh, Finally I'm glad to meet the fools who hurts my brothers and sisters! for a moment there I hesitate to kill all of you specially the Sprung of Athena, she is my favorite, and by the way there is no use hiding Son of Demeter, you know I can sense you? I'm glad to meet you all but I guess only the man who befriended time is fully aware who I really am!" the woman announce.

"Actually I don't but I have a hunch, The being who opposes the power of harvest? the being who brings the chaos of hunger? am I right goddess?" Nicholas said though I'm still very hesitant on believing this things but as of these past few hours Nicholas isn't the man who lies specially in moments like this, and wait wait did I heard it correctly she is a Goddess? a Goddess who has the real potential of killing us? is this why I fear her presence so much?

"Hah!! Alas!! a real smart one! shame on you daugther of Athena aren't you supposed to be the smart one?" she mocked Celine which made her stormy gray eyes even more frightening.

"Behold in front of you The daughter of Chaos herself!! The Incarnate of The fear of Hunger! the..-" Nicholas cuts her introduction "Limos the Goddess of Starvation" he said.

"You know you don't interrupt someone who is making a Grand Introduction! But I'll give you that one specially for someone who will see either asphodel or elysium soon, I don't decide where the styx you go anyways" she burst out a laugh and glared at Nicholas's direction, when I finally though that I'll get a glimpse on what our opponent looks like, she shows her face but she is wearing a mask a plain ceramic mask like the dancers the jabbawockeez use to wear but still her golden eyes glimmers around and her voice is even more terrifying for every moment.

"Well Goddess you're might be right on where I'm going but I highly doubt that I'll be going there soon" Nicholas said and raises his spear "Mike hold on to the satchel, don't give it to her protect it with your life!!" he shouted and I nodded unconsciously.

"Ahh quite an impressive weapon indeed, the makhais told me you wield that but I thought they're just over saturating things but now seeing it personally makes me wanted to kill you even more!" the Goddess said.

so that's an ultra famous weapon but it looks like an ordinary spear, don't get me wrong indeed it looks deadly but without the red string tied on the shaft before the spear ends its like a wooden stick with a 6 inch knife at the end, that's it nothing fancy even Celine's dagger looks fancier that the spear, I think the Goddess has a Bad taste maybe?

"Guess your Apprentices don't know the power of that spear oh great nicholas!" she said and of course she can hear our thoughts so planning things to get out of this mess will be tough.

"indeed child I can hear your thoughts but I'm not a creep Few of your thoughts not everything" I can't tell but I really imagined her smiling behind that mask.

"I'll explain later when we survive this woman!" nicholas said and even gave us a smile, Celine and I both nodded.

I came out of the bush Bow ready to fire any moment whenever Nicholas orders us to attack.

"Well well well, aren't you the only one with a fine weapon on your arsenal? Tóxo of Illio and Fengar the forbidden weapon" I'm shocked that even her notices my weapon "are you being careless now Great Nicholas letting a Kid handle a deadly weapon? I guess there is no need to rush on killing him cause apparently he will die!" she burst another creepy laugh.

"Indeed its deadly! but it's also deadly against immortalis! like you perhaps?" Nicholas Sarcastically said "Hah?! are you trying to frighten me?" she said "are you?" nicholas Grins at her.

Celine runs her dagger across her palm and squeezes the head of the drakon suddenly the blade is covered with a Violet colored liquid that oozes and it drips to the ground, then suddenly a tiny smoke is coming up where the drops of liquid is falling and at my amazement I saw the liquid turns out to be a powerful Acid.

"Well my weapon may not that shabby but I guess a Drakon's poison will be a pain in your..-" she looks at the Goddess behind "whatever you called that whats left behind you" that was actually funny I will agree with the Goddess, Celine is funny but how I wish I didn't thought of that so loudly cause I catch the Goddess Glared at me.

"With the number of Makhais with you right now? versus us 3?" Nicholas thinks "I can't say but I'm 70% sure 1 will die and apparently that 1 can't be killed so I guess we can just harm you really really bad" Nicholas threatens her and assume his stance a different one from before so as Celine is this my Cue that its fight time? but I only have 3 or 5 shots left?.

"Tss.. Threatening me!! a Goddess!!" she shouted and even her voice radiates power I suddenly felt hungry and weak.

"Don't mind what you are feeling its part of her powers! Hang on to your will to win!!" Nicholas said "No need to warn me Nicholas Genius here looks like he needs that warning" Celine said.

"Feel the wrath of the Goddess that once helped the Olympian Demeter!" she said and hey that's my mom what is she trying to imply? "Yes young demigod I despise you the most! because you are a wrenched spawn of that Goddess!! who do she think she is!! if it wasn't for me She wouldn't have achieve vengeance!!" she announced and here I am still clueless on what she was saying.

"So it was true?" Nicholas said "What is true?" I asked "Really now genius you really needed to ask now?" Celine said as usual full of sarcasm.

"Enough chit chats! Brothers and Sisters Kill them!!" Limos announced.

I tried fending them off by smashing some with my Tóxo but having a Bow for a weapon melee fights are not the best for me, I glimpse on how Celine and Nicholas fights and they are outstanding I really gotta learn some moves from them specially when this stuffs turns a habit from now on.

"I'll kill you first son of the Harvest Goddess!! For once I'll harvest something!! your dead lifeless body!!!" She shouted while rushing to me, I pulled out the string of my bow, I aimed at her - "Lower child we don't want to miss our last 3 Arrows right?" a voice that suddenly talks to my head and I immediately know it was my Tóxo talking to me and automatically I listed to her.. it sounded like a her, I lower the bow a bit "FIRE" The voice said and I released the bow string, it hit the goddess on her right shoulder "Arrgghh!! YOU DARE TO DEFY ME!!! YOU REALLY ARE HER SON!!" she said glaring harshly ever than before and that glare made me felt weaker and Hungrier - is this how she kills her opponent if it is then she is succeeding, I cant muster anymore strength to fire another arrow - I fell to the ground while she advances slowly laughing.

"Checkmate for you son of demeter!" she really likes to threat the hell out of me "Ahhhrgggghhh!! You insolent Fool!" she shrieks in pain and as I lift my head up I saw the spear on her t.h.i.g.h Nicholas came to save me.

"So Limos are you ready on a 3 on 1 match?" Celine said "Oh Goddess let me remind you that a Demigod has the ability to slay you Immortalis" Celine grins at her this Girl creeps me more that I fear the Goddess.

I saw the Goddess scan the area and finding out that the makhais are all slain, she hesitates to move forward her shoulder is bleeding gold so as her left t.h.i.g.h and I caught a glimpse that Celine is slowly advancing to her dagger hilt on her mouth and trying to bun her hair.

"You Killed my Siblings!!" She announced while retreating back slowly.

"So Goddess will you leave us alone? or you want to be with your camping buddies?" Nicholas said "I won't forgive you! I will Kill you!!" the Goddess replied

"Well as your arch nemesis I suggest you leave before the last 2 arrows hit your head, and we don't want that do we?" What am I saying but I caught Celine and Nicholas Smiling.

"You'll pay for this insult! I will claim your life and that apple!! I'll be back!! I'll be back!!" she shouted and suddenly shrugged by a blob of darkness.

"Should've killed her" I said nicholas burst in laughter "We can't right now she is powerful we just taunted her really well and thank the Gods for that" I can't believe how optimistic this guy is - Celine fell down on the floor "I'm glad that's over I don't know if I'll last for another 5 minutes that's too much fighting" she said while panting really hard and collapses on the ground.

"we need to rest" I suggest and both of them nods
