The sharp clash of metal swords and the roar of anger instantly fell silent as Alessia poofed from the realm. Cronus' face twisted into a mask of rage, his fists clenched, and his eyes blazing with fury.
Zagreus stood his ground, his sword still drawn, and his gaze locked onto Cronus. "Where did she go?" he demanded.
Cronus bared his teeth in a snarl. "She's gone, Zagreus," he spat. "And she won't be coming back."
Zagreus stepped closer, his eyes narrowing. "What have you done with her?"
Cronus chuckled darkly. "She fled my realm, leaving you behind," he said, stepping forward.
Zagreus raised his sword defensively, ready for whatever attack Cronus had planned. "I won't let you harm her or our child," he said firmly.
Cronus sneered. "Your child? You've lost everything, Zagreus. Your kingdom, your queen, and now your child. What more do you have left?"
