Chapter 9

SCYLLA'S POV

The letter had just arrived at my door. Eurgate was imprisoned. I had to tell Medusa. It's time to take the bait and go all in. I grabbed the pearl Medusa gave me and in a cloud of green smoke, I was in her layer in hell.

"Scylla! What are you doing here?"

"It's time Medusa, Eurgate has been imprisoned. I think we should proceed with our plans."

"We have to be careful, Eurgate's life is at stake here, any wrong move and she is gone. Also, she has to get the code for us."

"What about Hermes?"

"Hermes hasn't come through yet, he is still working on it."

"Medusa, what if you ask Hermes to meet you then tell him to give Eurgate the code?"

"That could work but I'll go as Artemis."

"Artemis?"

"Yes, him seeing me in my real form could make the whole plan blow up in our faces."

"Then go as Artemis, we have to hurry Medusa, Eurgate is still in that dungeon. Who knows how long she'll survive?!"

"I will go Scylla but you have to leave now before someone finds you here, go!"

"I love you Medusa, stay safe."

"Love you too Scylla. This would all be over soon."

MEDUSA'S POV

          Scylla left and now, I had to go see Hermes. Since our first meeting, we decided that Hermes stayed in Buckingham palace till further notice. So that was where I was going.

"My queen?"

"Yes Balchazar, how can I help you."

"Where are you going, you know master Hades hates that you've been going out since the ceremony."

"I'll be back soon Balchazar, take care of the children."

"Yes my queen but please, don't be long."

"I won't, I promise."

         I ran to the gateway, took my pearl and was off  to Buckingham palace in a cloud of green smoke. Hermes wasn't so hard to find, he was still in the same room.

"Ah, Artemis, back so soon?"

"I need you to do me a favor Hermes, that is if you want to live when I reign over Olympus?"

"Yes, sure. What is it?"

"I have an inside source in Olympus, the new dungeon girl."

"You mean Eurgate?"

"Yes, tell her all about the code and get ready. She'll be the one to get the bolt not you. Once. The bolt is gotten, your deal is half over. Once Olympus is under my control, you get what we agreed on and the deal is off. Do you understand?"

"Yes, absolutely Artemis, I'll give her the code."

"Good, I have to go now, you can leave Buckingham and destroy all traces that you ever lived here. Good bye me Hermes, see you later."

"Good bye Artemis."

         I left Buckingham and half the plan was complete. Soon it would all be over, Athena would pay for all she has done. All this is her fault, all the problems we have now is her fault. She'll pay, she has to. Now,I have to go meet Scylla, she has to go meet Zeus. The faster we move, the sooner Eurgate can get out and the war begins.

SCYLLA'S POV

       I was in the house when Medusa came in. She put up her cloak and let her snakes lose.

"It's time to go get Eurgate."

"But she doesn't have the code, how do we do that?"

"You're not really getting her out, you just have to ask Zeus, then we leave her there."

"Oh, so when do I go?"

"Right now, get dressed."

"Now! As in right now!?"

"Yes, the sooner you get there, the better."

"Okay, but what if he throws me in that dungeon too?"

"He won't, he can't leave mom with nobody to take care of her"

"Okay, am ready."

"Good luck Scylla, stay safe."

          Getting to Olympus wasn't the hard part, it was faking in front of Zeus. I might be all fierce and all but I hate faking being soft in front of people. I got to the back door and now I had to look for the hall.

"The hall is this way Scylla."

"And hello to you too Zeus."

"Is there a reason you came to see me?"

"Zeus, I came to see you about my sister."

"Which one Scylla cause from my record, you have two."

"Medusa is dead!"

"I didn't dispute that fact, so why are you here."

"Please just release Eurgate, our mother is dying, the least you  could do is let her have what is left of her family with her before she dies!"

"No."

"No! What do you mean no?!"

"Eurgate got what she deserved, you better leave before you get yours."

"She was just being childish!"

"Your sister Medusa, why did she die again."

"What do you mean, you 'gods' gave some idiot armor to go slice off her head!"

"We wouldn't have done it if she wasn't a threat to the world."

"How does that relate to the matter at hand?!"

"I imprisoned Eurgate because she was a threat to the village you live in."

"You can't actually be serious. What do you mean threat?"

"We saw her small outburst which she killed people. Innocent people Scylla. What do you have to say to that?"

"It wasn't her fault, I caused it, I made her angry and she reacted."

"Exactly, the way. She reacted made her a threat to life. She was imprisoned because of that."

'Please Zeus, I beg you. Please just let her out."

"Hermes!"

"Yes lord Zeus, you called?"

"Get the guards to take Scylla to the dungeons."

"What! No! You can't, I didn't  do anything!"

"Goodbye Scylla."

          I was dragged to the dungeon and thrown into a cell. This wasnt part of the plan. I can't even begin to think of how to get out of this place. How would Medusa cope with all this.
         We are so not on track anymore things have gone sideways sooner than I expected.
        I sat there in the cell for hours, counting the stars on the ceilings when I heard a noise.  I looked up and saw a shadow figure, it was Hermes!

"What are you doing here?"

"Listen and listen good. Your sister Eurgate is about to be released. She has the code to the bolt. I know you are working with Artemis so I'll  give you the code incase Eurgate doesn't make it to Artemis."

"Why should I trust you?"

"You shouldn't. The code is..."
