Chapter 4 - The Spider - Chapter 4

PERSEPHONE.

My head started to ache from the alcohol I had yesterday as I slowly woke up from my sleep laying on the bed, the ceiling covered with decorations, the sheets covering my voluptuous body and light balls keeping the place bright just as I woke up, knock..knock* "Lady Persephone are you awake?" my aid spoke behind the door but I didn't gave a reply to her. I turned my head to the side of my bed which was empty "Hades sure knows how to leave me alone early in the morning" I murmered to myself and held myself against the sheets that still had his lingering scent which made me remember about last night. I giggled to myself but the door slammed open suddenly and my aid Melinoë entered the room which made me jolt and lean into the bed frame while trying to cover my bare naked self with the sheets, "Wha-.. Why are you coming in without my permission!" I shouted at her flustered and embarrassed. "What are you saying My Lady, I did asked if you were awake and all I could hear was your giggles, so I assumed you were awake" she replied with a straight face, even though Melinoë was a chthonic nymph she was quite the beauty. Her reddish black hair made her stood out even among other of her kind, she wore a black scaled robe that emits a faint eery green light with golden lining along the edges. No one would think that she is dangerous if they didn't knew well, "Even though, that does not give you permission to enter my room like that" I argued, Melinoë seemed to care less which made me even more frustrated, "If you are done pouting for the day please get up My Lady, we need to head out soon" she said without a single change in her expression and approached me. "Right today is the day, I completely forgot" I stood up which made the sheets covering my body fall down as I headed to the corner of my room where a lavender coloured curtain swayed along a slight breeze coming from the other side, I moved through the curtain to enter the bathing area filled with warm water and a garden Melinoë takes care of. I dipped my foot first in the water and sat at the paved edge, Melinoë sat down behind me and began to use a moist towel to wipe my body, "Why do you think they summoned all of us to Olympus?" Melinoë asked "Well... my guess is its about what we should do about the outer ones and how we can protect the everyone indwelling on that Moon". My eyes wandered to the vibrant flowers around me and the butterflies flying around that seemed out of place and Melinoë was silent till we left the bath.

The smell of carnations filled the air by the time we entered back to the room and a wide variety of dresses and ornaments were arranged for me to choose from even the bed sheets and pillows were changed into new ones. I walked near the aisle pretending to look through the dresses "My Lady do you have a favorite you wish to wear today?" Melinoë asked me as if she didn't knew I don't have much favorites. "Sigh*.. Please choose one that will suit me" I said and stood before the mirror watching my own naked self, my golden white hair covering my shoulders with a little bit of moisture remaining and my green pale eyes glaring at my own self, "Understood My Lady" she replied but I spotted a smile on her face, the only time she seems to smile even a little is when she gets the chance to dress me up like some doll ready to be played with. Unlike me she carefully looked through the aisle deciding what would look good on me or atleast that's what I assume. She took out a long robe and started to dress me up, the robe was white and a huge portion of the lower part had a vibrant purple design resembling a tree branch with golden outlines and silver linings stemming from below. She carefully combed my hair and styled it like a crown and added some golden veil decorations alongside it, I looked in the mirror seeing myself emitting the presence of what a goddess should look like "You always does an exceptional job dressing me up" I turned my eyes at her hoping she would keep her smile a bit more atleast for now but I was wrong. Her face quickly shifted back to her expressionless etiquette which was disappointing to see, "It is my duty as your aid My lady" knock-knock* "Lady Persephone if you are ready it is time to head out now" another sound came from the other side of the door.

MERYL REYMOND

Whites flashed through my eyes as everything around me was cracking up as if the whole world was breaking apart into atoms, the world faded away into pitch blackness for a second and I saw green grass in front of me and rushing cold air made me realise I was falling face first to the ground. I thought about that warm sensation in my chest which instantly gathered those weird colours "Let me float in the air" I said out loud and instantly greenish blue colours surrounded me and I started to float just a few inches away from kissing the ground.I smiled at the thrill as I adjusted my body around so my feet were now touching the ground which now made the specks to disappear and I was standing on the ground. "That voice really did gave me some info" I recalled the bizzare experience I just went through, I looked around me to see that no one else was near me, just wide long meadows stretching as far as my eyes could see. "Great that fucker dropped me out in nowhere, how the heck am I-" I felt a movement on my back along the shoulders. "What the..." I jumped and shaked my body while my hands tried to grab whatever was on my back, "Oh comeon what is this?.." I shouted and finally caught a portion of the thing that was behind me using my left arm. I pulled it hard but it felt like It was attached to my back forever, I thought about the warmth again and now the specks gathered around me out of thin air "Give me strength" I shouted and my left arm started to glow white which allowed me to pull away whatever was attached behind my back. I threw it on the ground hard which made dust to fly around, I took a few steps back jumping, my heartbeat was loud enough for me to hear it, I was sweating under the bright sun with my eyes locked on. The dust cleared out and I saw a red round ball with spiked outward legs resembling an araneae, it had some golden and purple lines on its back and three black spots in its front, 'Is it some kind of android?' I wondered to myself but it didn't really felt like a bot either. The symbols on its back started to glow and red lighting coiled from its body towards me, I tried to block it by calling in the colours but I wasn't quick enough to do so. I closed my eyes anticipating my death just like how everyone got blown up back in the hospital but to my surprise I was yeeted towards that bot instead, it jumped and landed on my chest with its metallic legs holding me tight. "MANA SIGNATURE REGISTERED IN THE MODULE... - INITIATING MASTER CONTRACT", a sound came from its body and I felt a sting on my chest which made me scream in pain, the bot started to glow in white a portion of my shirt got blown off from the front exposing my chest and abdomen. I fell to the ground panting and breathing heavily as a symbol similar to the one on the bot was now on my chest, a three line each emerging from another curved line. "What the heck did you do to me?" I asked still panting but afraid, afraid that what if it is a poison or anything else that can take my life but such thoughts vanished quickly as I recalled what the audio just said 'Mana'. I moved towards the bot and held it "Hey, you said something about mana right?...What did you mean by that?" I asked curiously afterall there shouldn't be any mana that concept only exists on stories I read on my free time. "Affirmative, your body's mana signature has been registered into my functions which makes you my new Master" the bot said in a virtual voice.
