Marpessa paced her room nervously, many terrifying thoughts running through her mind. Just moments ago, through the window of her little tower, she had watched her grandfather Ares fall to his death, killed by the king of the gods, Zues.
The woman couldn't help but shudder at the realization that everything she had planned was going up in flames. Her plot to get her grandfather to kill Zues, her deal with Thanatos, and looking the fact that Erinyes had not yet returned with the mortal woman's head in hand, she was certain that that plan had failed as well. Marpessa began to panic.
She knew that after this, either Zues or Apollo would come after her for being the initiator of this war, and for putting the little mortal and her child in danger. If not them, Thanatos would definitely come to collect his due. She had to flee Olympus and quick.
