Ch. 137: Yvonne's Proposal
It had been ten days since I had been dropped off on this remote island, abandoned here by Charon for what he called "essential training." The solitary apartment complex I called home for the duration was surrounded by towering trees and a vast, uneven training ground. I was told it would be just me and Cerberus, but I soon found I wasn't entirely alone. Charon's two daughters lived here as well: Yvonne and Renee. Adopted, or so I'd been told, but they shared a bond that ran deeper than any blood connection.
Though they were far from godly beings, their power was not to be underestimated. Both sisters were what you might call mid-level entities in the underworld hierarchy, possessing physical abilities that could easily outmatch mine on my best day. Despite days of grueling combat, I had yet to best either of them, much less both as required to prove myself to Charon.
