"Heh, I guess your right" chuckeled Vash. "But then again, isn't that the same thing that we thought when the soldiers of Ares marched into our territory? Yet our soldiers have been defeated. Hey, but look at the bright side, now we get to repel their attack, and then hit them where it actually hurts!" He exclaimed. "Hey, where there any messages about the war between Zeus, Hermes vs Aphrodite and Poseidon? Zeus sent his army there, didn't he? I wonder if they got there. But for now... We have our own war to fight"

"Yes...and if we all do not save our strength then the fight will be over before it has begun. Come away Vash and speak with me for a while. There are matters that need to be discussed."

"Sure!" enthusiastically answered Vash as he followed.

Phillip's fleet arrived in Cyprus and docked for minor repairs. The crew spent the night on the town, the soldiers drank all night, but Phillip spent the night in a tavern and got a good night's rest. The next day, the fleet departed, the crews' morale soaring, the soldiers merry, and Phillip glad the ships were in fine condition. The ships sailed away, into the rising sun...

Dethalus, champion and master priest of the Lord of the dead was preparing an assault on Athens, he knew that their defences were pressed and that Hephaustus was not going to be able to hold out forever, his strength was however a large thorn in Hades side and would take a long time to topple

Dethalus rode in amongst some shades on his two headed mount, the dog beast Orthus was his mode of transportation, its speed and strength outmatched a horse and its fire breath was surely feared. The shades with their cloaks and dark faces lurched a little, the dead were remorseless fighters and Hades had called up legions of the most wicked and merciless souls he could spare in the underworld, even cyclops and certain types of ogres were amongst the undead warriors

Dethalus got off of Orthus and in a dark low voice he whispered, it strangely fell throughout the entire camp as if it was carried by the river styx itself and like the river it poured throughout the legions, its dark essence was cruel and without care, every word seemed careless and emotionless as if Dethalus' soul had been riped from him, however he was wise of mind and his authority made sure he neednt make more than a murmer before his soldiers obeyed

"you must prepare....cyclops wield your iron well, ogres shield the archers........you shades are expendable, your souls are hades, destroy them all" and with that he clenched his fists and leapt up onto Orthus and rode into battle, the giant cyclops and ogres holding up their large round shields to shield them and the Shades wielding bows and swords hidden behind them, ready to charge, Dethalus was with them, about to join them in battle.

"Sure!" enthusiastically answered Vash as he followed.

Meshona smiled just a little and turned, making her way slowly through the crowds.

i think hephaustus armies are guarding Athens where many soldiers are, Hades armies led by me are about to attack and ime not sure about the rest of the people apart from Zues' people seem to be on some ships

(no idea where to come in)

(Then think of something damnit...dont get other ppl to think for you!)

Meshona looked over her shoulder to make sure vash was following her. It was not difficult to loose a blind man in amongst so many people.

"May I please say again i'm not blind? I have a connection to the nature" Sighed Vash as he saw her looking around checking he wasn't lost. "Which means I know that the color of your hair is brownish black, and I know the color of your eyes" He added.

Meshona chuckled, "I remember that Vash, no harm in being cautious. Even those of us with sight can loose our way at times."

"In fact, but then again, we in our own land." smiled Vash as they entered an empty tent. "So...."

Meshona entered the tent after him and sealed the entrance, turning to face her comrade; her expression terse and troubled. "I fear for Athena, her strength is not what it once was and if she falls where will that leave us as her champions? I will not readily abandon her if that is your thought Vash I only ready myself for what may readily be our goddesses end as we well know it."

The legions of hades broke into Athens, as the soldiers of Hephaustus stood firm the Ogres and Trolls smashed through them, crushing their ranks, their heavey iron armour protected them well.

Dethalus rode behind burning their soldiers and then letting Orthus off his leash to destroy the Hephaustian troops, Dethalus on foot now marched into Athenian temple "hear me Athena....your temple will burn and rot, and you will join hades in the land of the dead", with that he swept his sword through the worshiper praying, some standing to fight. The Temple guard were no match, they slashed at his dark body, only to see it heal before them as his dark sword drained their bodies life essence

Shades filled many Athenian temples, also killing worshipers and ransacking the camps, things looked dim for those following Athena and Hephaustus and so the battle raged on for Athens.

Meshona's head snapped up at the cries from outside the walls of the temple, her eyes widened as the sounds of war broke upon her ears. Unsheathing her sword, it glowed with an aqua tinge to it and she burst from the tent. Sprinting to the aid of others.

Vash's sword glowed red. "Look, you go and take care of the shades, i'll take care of the mysterious dark aura I feel inside the main Temple" said Vash, before running out of the tent, just to almost get hit by an Ogre, he dodged the hit, jumped on it's back, took out a dagger and stabbed it in the Ogre's neck. The ogre fell down, and Vash ran ahead to the temple, to see a few temple guards dead, he entered the temple to see him about to kill the worshipper, but he kicked the dark figure, causing him to loose balance and fall.

Dethalus leapt from the floor and fired a dark blast of energy, the blast was dodged but instantly Dethalus flew forwards with his blade smashing it against his opponents "hades will have your soul....." , Dethalus let out another dark blast as soon as his opponent lost balance from a hard sword blow sending his opponent into a marble wall dazed, Dethalus swept up his robes and hood over his head and laughed with spite, "come Orthas", his two headed mount crashed through one of the walls of the temple and his master mounted, just before the beast leapt off into the smoke and fire of the battle

"Morons that think their cool nowadays" sighed Vash before running out through the whole made by the beast, he looked around, and saw 5 trolls smashing their way into the heart of the camp. He ran up to one of the trolls, and saw that there was some equipment such as arrows and swords on the trolls back, as the trolls were nearly impossible to kill in their rampage, the soldiers put their equipment there. Vash took a nearby rope which was lying on the ground, and threw it around the troll's throat, blinded by his fury and rage, the troll didn't feel anything. Vash then took 3 quivers with arrows and climbed up the rope to the head of the troll, he then began taking arrows by 4, and stabbing them through the troll's head. Soon, the troll fell down on another troll nearby him, killing his fellow brother by his own weight.

"hades is pleased of our damage to Athens....but he doesnt want it to be demolished yet...there are still souls to weave here......but the Riches we have recovered and artifacts will be a boon to our forces" Dethalus said once again in his dark whisper, the remaining Ogres and Trolls moved out, the surviving shades following, the City of Athens was burning and Hades had quenched his thirst for souls of the dead for now, but he had more plans for Athens and so called back his armies. hades confronted his servant. "well done Dethalus, i never thought we could be this successful" hades said while picking up the cage of Athena's prized Owl of wisdom in its cage, he let out a wicked laugh which was followed by a smile as smoke came from his mouth, making the creature faint in the cage, "now go....and here, have this" Dethalus cought the special medalion that Hades threw to him in his dark grip and placed it over his black hood, as he did its Skull like symbol flashed green.

The Legions of the underwold had tasted blood and so their legions that grew by the hour, every time one of the dead had their soul taken were looking forward to their next battle
