196: Into the trap

"You're seriously trying to kill me. Can we not even negotiate the terms?" Maria was not looking to negotiate. But even she had to admit that she had no chance against the goddess. Not in her current limited state.

"Negotiate? About what? You destroyed my carefully crafted story. I can't forgive you for that." The goddess was not in a forgiving mood. Maria cursed her luck at the timing of the events happening.

She had been so close to the healing pond and had her curse broken. And now she was stuck in a lockdown she could not win. She was outclassed quite heavily.

"Now that I have a good look at you, you do feel familiar. Is it the mother's influence you carry? But I feel like there is something more-" the goddess was monopolising.

It might seem like the question was aimed at Maria, but she knew better. The goddess was talking to herself.

Maria tried to take this time and escape the goddess's hold. But she was stopped without much effort.
