Chapter 119: Erebus
Water.
Only water... As far as the eyes could see, there was also the bottom of the sea, full of sand and rocks, the ocasional crab, the currents, and of course the fishes that could be seen swimming around. Suddenly, water started to moved in a circular manner as a powerful beast opened its mouth, a whirlpool slowly surged from the bottom of the ocean as Charybdis, the Sea Devourer opened its gargantuan mouth as with its suction capabilities everything within a range of 300 meters was caught inside the whirlpool and could not swim away. At the same time, standing close to the sharp stones and cave beside the lonely mountain in the middle of the sea stood the monstrosity with several heads, named Scylla, who seeing the whirlpool began to growl with all her, yes, her, 5 Wolf heads connected to her torso while her other several serpentine heads hissed.
Charybdis and Scylla didn't like each other very much, due to the very fact that they are chained together in this location, neither being able to leave, not unless a God could get rid of their curses.
And as they are monsters, even if they are killed, they will "respawn" here, bound to this place in life and death alike.
After feeding itself, Charybdis closed their gargantuan jaw, causing the whirlpool to simple fade away as if it was only a mirage, an illusion of a mad person. Charybdis felt hunger again, but this time they wouldn't live to eat their next meal, neither them nor Scylla, because a trio of Demigods just arrived.
-Scene Cut-
Due to receiving directions directly from the God of the Seas, Enychta was able to evade the island resort where they would be trapped in forever, you know, that island where that sorceress would transform people into animals and transforms Percy in a hamster in the books. Ceres was her name? He slowly realized this, but the knowledge about the book and other things are slowly leaking out his mind as lives on, memories mere fragments of someone who he once was but no longer is, morals, thoughts, feelings, old things attached to his past life. He doesn't even know if he had two little sisters or one little brother? Maybe both?
It doesn't matter anymore, and for Enychta it truly doesn't, as this new life is his to enjoy. And right now? He would really enjoy breaking a certain pink-haired boy like a fucking glow stick.
"Are we there yet?"
"No, not yet."
"Are we there yet..?"
"*sigh* No... Not yet."
"Are, we, there, yet!?"
"No."
"~Are we... there yet~?"
"No~! Fuck, stop making me sing, we sang a lot of road songs for like, three hours straight! If you want me to break you so bad you could just ask, you don't need to annoy me till I fuck you ruthlessly!"
"I mean, not against it, but how would you fuck me 'ruthlessly' as you say when we're in the middle of the sea?"
"Well, underwater sex?"
"Is that even possible...?" A rather sleepy blond boy blinked as his blue eyes looked around, water was all he could see, so he yawned as stretched his limbs before asking: "Are we there yet?"
The black Quetzalcoatl could only sigh and answer softly: "No, we aren't there yet, it will take at least half an hour to get there."
"Why does he get a soft reply and i get a fuck threat?" A rather annoying pink-haired boy asked, making the serpent he was riding in sigh. "Also, not that i am not totally doubting your super powerful monster senses, but already doubting said monster senses, how would you, my dearest beloved Enychta Astérie, know how long would it take for us to arrive at our desired destination." Asked the now super serious and formal-looking Pruno Begoni, who decided to try another strategy to annoy Enychta.
"Because he isn't annoying?" Enychta answered the first question before sighing, answering the second question in an equally formal voice: "And of course Mr. Begoni, i would know how long it would take for us to arrive at our destinstion due to the fact that the God of Freshwater, Neptune himself, gave me his personal subaquatic GPS so we can get to our destination."
"What are you two doing?" A sleepy and clueless Luke Castellan whispered as he looked at Pruno, making him blush as they were on Enychta's head, which was still in his Quetzalcoatl form as he swam through the sea. "You two roleplaying?"
Before they could answer, Enychta felt something... They arived? What- Oh, the location he had received from Neptune was the exact position of both Scylla and Charybdis within the sea of monsters... Now they'll meet many, and i mean many, sea monsters. Good, Enychta is hungry.
-Scene Cut-
Darkness parted as light came to view, standing tall and proud was Nyx in her glory, looking at the palm of her hands as the moonlight shone down into the night. "I know you're there... Erebus." A simple call from his sister had the darkness behind shift in annoyance as a man, 5'4 tall, long flowy dark hair, and black robes like a those cliche Demonic Cultivators from Chinese novels, sighed and said: "As sharp as ever... Nyx."
"What do you want, brother?" Nyx's simple question had the man stoic face break away as a smile grew in his cold facial features, hearing his sister calling him brother made him smile. "Well, I've come to bargain."
"What...?"
"Well, I wamt your son's help."
"Thanatos? Hypnos? You know you can just ask them, right?"
"Oh, you know who I'm talking about... I mean the kid, Enychta was it?"
Suddenly, thousands of little creatures with glowing white eyes and little pitch black bodies appeared from Nyx's hair and shadow, mqking his brother chuckle. "Oh Nyx, you know your little Terrors can do nothing to me, right?" Nyx sighed, knowing her brother was right. "So, what do you want then?"
"I want him to do something for me... A quest..."
"And? I don't have all night to chat here with you, when day comes i have to go back to Tartarus." Nyx rolled her eyes at her brother's edgy tendencies. "Okay, okay... Geez. I want him to retrieve me my daughter from the Abyss."
"What...?"
"My daughter."
For once, Erebus enjoyed Nyx's shocked face.
