Thanatos
It was time.
I watched as the greeks in front of dissembled into groups.
God,Poseidon, and myself were big brother.
Meaning we would be watching over the battle to find the week point. Once spotted, we would push. If there was no weak point, we would attack the back.
Ivy,Artemis,Paimon,Athena, and Ares were in group one. They were to directly push the front gates. I was concerned for Ivy as she hasn't completed her transition.
If anything were to happen to her, I fear she won't be able to recover.
The rest of the gods were split down either side of the gate. There were entrances on every wall. We would take advantage of that and enter through every one.
"Thanatos," God sat down next to me.
"Yes you fat bastard?" I smiled at him.
"It'll be okay. We are immortal. If this goes south the gods will be okay." My bearded buddy gave me a reassuring half hug.
I was not nor was Ivy. But that was irrelevant, we would be fine.
"They've breached their main gates." Poseidon creeped between us and pointed his freakishly long index finger towards the gate.
They had. Paimon and Ivy were already taking down a hound.
We didn't train her- well other then the occasional tip for her powers. I pray Paimon will help her.
"Indeed. Looks like Eros and his gods are also pushing the side gate. It's smooth so far." God nodded approvingly.
"It's quiet though. Very quiet." I took a deep breath and looked around us.
"Guys,not to like alert you or anything, but there are totally little demons running around us." I whispered to the 2 wisemen next to me.
"I don't se-"
"AHHHH," A tiny battle cry sounded from a small creature.
We weren't ginormous but to him we must've been.
Poseidon lifted his shell covered sandals an inch of the ground and then stomped down on the little thing.
"Really? You could of just like flung him over the gate?" God grimaced at the juices leaking out from under Poseidon's shoe.
I turned my focus back to our attack, Zeus and Keaton were finishing the last hound in the yard.
"How long until they realize?" Poseidon was now sitting with us.
"About now." God nodded at the front doors of the palace.
Lucifer,Hades,A few succubus, and a shit ton of demons stepped out.
"Should we hold hands and pray?"
——-
Paimon
"Brother, What a nice surprise." Lucifer happily greeted me.
"Yeah it's nice being home." I shrugged casually, hiding my blade.
"Hello, Persephone. Artemis, you're looking fantastic. Is that goat fur?" Lucifer cocked his head to the side and greeted the gods I had with me.
"Persephone, I told you I don't play games." Hades took a step forward.
I took 2 steps forward and shielded Ivy.
"And I told you I don't want to get married. Find someone else to power rape." Ivy sneered.
Damn. That's my girl. You tell him.
"Stop being childish. You want this and if you don't, well sorry sweetheart but you don't have a choice. Your father promised me your hand." Hades shrugged and attempted to step forward but Lucifer blocked him.
"Don't be irrational,Hades." My brother was trying to calm him down instead of riling him up?
Who was this man?
"Irrational? That's my bride." I spotted Zeus and Kratos behind the pair.
They were slowly talking out their servants from behind.
"Not yours,Hades." I wanted to laugh at his expression.
I had to distract them until we had them alone.
"Persephone you wouldn't marry this fool." Lucifer chimed in now.
"Fool? Oh,Paimon. We already have a date set." Ivy stepped forward and intertwined our hands.
Hades' face turned bright red with anger. Lucifer just glared at me.
"Lucifer, let me." Hades whispered just loud enough for me to hear.
"Go for it. Boys-" Lucifers jaw tightened as he turned towards the lifeless bodies of his servants and succubus.
"Do it." Lucifer whistled loud and strong.
I turned towards the 3 who were in the field. They were faced away.
My eyes moved to where theirs were.
"A horde." Ivy whispered.
"It'll be fine." I took a deep breath and nodded at Kratos and Zeus.
They turned to get the other gods. 14 gods versus lapdogs.
We would win.
"Don't get too cocky,Brother. If you choose to continue, you'll be cut up and served amongst both hell and the underworld. We will feast on you and whoever else you've decided to drag into your mess." Lucifer watched me for a reaction.
"What's the other option?" I squeezed Ivy's hand which was still gripping onto mine.
"The other option is us killing these fucks." Ares stepped forward.
I gave him a smile, proud of him.
I caught a glimpse of Athena. She was glaring at the back of Ares head. A small orange blade in her hand.
Fuck me. She was going to do something stupid.
"Athena," I whisper yelled.
She dropped the blade out of shock.
"You're already falling apart. Just give up now." Hades mockingly laughed.
"How about you just leave Persephone alone and we can put this whole ordeal behind us?" God was next to me along with Thanatos.
Poseidon was on the other side with the rest of the gods. All of us were here.
Yama and the others I called on for help were also here.
17 gods.
We had this.
