"...I better be on guard." Soul said to herself as she fill her bow with arrows. "...Sister! Stay strong." Aphrodite suddenly shouted. "...huh? What is going on in there?" Soul ask herself as she lean towards them a little to see why Aphrodite just shouted. 

"...Come on sister! Don't fight it!" Aphrodite shouted again, and at moment Dusa's began to struggle intensely. "...Shit!" Soul swear and aim her bow at Dusa incase you break free from the chains she was tied with. 

"...Sister, no, STOP!" Aphrodite shouted, and Dusa who was tied up immediately break the chains, and grab Aphrodite in her neck. "..I am...trying to heal you." Aphrodite said to her while Dusa grab her in the neck. "... Demons don't help, they destroy." Dusa who can now understand what Aphrodite was saying, replied her.

"....I am not a demon. It's me Aphrodite, Your Sister!" Aphrodite explained to her, but all she can see is a demon trying to convince her that she is her sister. "...You demon, you don't want to tell me where my sister is huh?" Dusa ask Aphrodite as she tightens her grip in her neck. "...Stop...sto" Aphrodite struggles to talk.

"...Let her go!" Soul shouted to Dusa, and she immediately faced her. "...What are you going to do? Shoot me with does arrows?" Dusa ask herself. "...I can counters all your arrows before they can hit me." Dusa added, and continue tightening her grip on Aphrodite neck.

"...You...demon!" Dusa shouted and run towards soul. "... Sister stop!" Aphrodite shouted, but she ignore and kept running towards soul. "...You don't want to give up huh?" Soul said, and put two arrows into her bow. "... This will stop you...." Soul said, and shoot two arrows directly at Dusa. "...That wouldn't work on me!" Dusa shouted as she pull out one of the arrows in her arm, and through it straight to the direction were soul's arrows was coming from, and the two arrows hit and broke each other. 

"... Don't forget the other!" Soul excitedly shouted as the other arrow fly straight to Dusa, and hit her on her leg. "...You demon!" Dusa who was in deep pains from the arrows, shouted. "... What's what going on?" Dusa ask herself as her legs began to froze up.

"...I am so sorry goddess, but this is the only way to retrain you." Soul said to her, as Dusa froze up. "....No! Stop you mortal!" Aphrodite shouted to soul as she rush towards the already frozen body of Aphrodite. "...I am sorry goddess, but i had to froze her up. She will kill us if we doing let's restrain." Soul said to Aphrodite, and walk closer to Dusa's frozen body. "...You better hope this doesn't kill her." Aphrodite warned soul.

"...You better hope she doesn't kill us first!" Soul talked back to her in her mind. "...What did you just say you mortal?" Aphrodite who heard what soul said in her mind, ask her. "...Jezz i forget goddess can read minds." Soul panicked as Aphrodite walk closers her. "... You mortal! You dare talk back to me?" Aphrodite shouted at soul and conjure up her sword on her hand. 

"...I am so sorry, please forgive me!" Soul apologize, but Aphrodite ignored her apologies and still moved towards her like a raging storm. "...Do you know what we gods do to mortal that insults us?" Aphrodite ask soul, and she conjure up another sword in her hands. "...I said i am sorry, okay!" Soul shouted to her. ".... Didn't you said to Dusa that you have changed?" Soul ask Aphrodite but she ignored everything she was saying to her.

"...We placed curses on that mortal, or will turn them into domestic animals, and feed them to our spirit animals." Aphrodite said to soul, as she walk closer to her. "... You know what? I am sick and tired of you gods and goddess." Soul said to Aphrodite, and fill her bow with arrows. "...You are so desperate to kill me right?" Soul said as she aim the bow at Aphrodite. "... let's see who will die first." Soul added.

"..You even dare to point your weak bow at me?" Aphrodite said to soul. "...I don't care if you place a good part in the prophesy, i will punish you for your insolence!" Aphrodite shouted, and throw one of her swords at soul. 

Soul saw the Sword coming straight to her, and then shot one of her arrows at the flying sword. Her arrow burned, and melted Aphrodite's sword the moment it touch her sword, and this made Aphrodite really angry. "...That mortal!" Aphrodite fumed, and began to conjure up hundred of swords around herself. "...Shit!" Soul shouted in fear, after seeing the swords Aphrodite was conjuring up. "...You no longer respect a goddess like me, just because you good at arching huh? Let's see how long you can hold your ground when hundreds of swords are coming at you all at once." Aphrodite said to her, as she hold one of her finger up high. "...My sister spirit weapon or my son's teaching wouldn't help you insolence mortal." Aphrodite added.

"...I never ever will disrespect you goddess, and i am so sorry if what i said offended you." Soul said as she filled her bow with over ten arrows. "...So if this how you want to do this, let's do this!" Soul shouted furiously and aim her bow at Aphrodite. "...Die!" Aphrodite Softly said as she points her finger towards soul, and all the swords she Conjure up began to fly straight towards her.

 "...This will teach you that you shouldn't mess with a goddess like me!" Aphrodite said to soul, and stand to see if she was going to protect herself from the swords. 

she didn't notice that the ice blocks around Dusa's body was slowly breaking off. 

"... Okay! Breathe! Shoooot!" Soul shouted and then shoot all her arrows at Dusa. ".. goddess, Dusa said whatever i imagine, the arrows will carry it out. I hope this will work!" Soul added as she watch her few arrows fly straight against hundreds of swords.

"...That mortal really think she can protect herself with those few arrows, pathetic!" Aphrodite said as she watches soul shoot her few arrows. "...Now die!" Aphrodite quietly said to herself as her swords got close to soul's arrows. 

"...come on...come on!" Soul anxiously said, and at that moment her few arrows and the swords collided with each other. Soul's arrows immediately multiples into thousands of arrows, and destroy all the swords as it collides with it.

The remaining arrows few straight to Aphrodite, but she counter all of them with her magic before it could hit her.

"...Yes it worked!" Soul excitedly shouted, after seeing that her few arrows multiplyed and countered all the swords. "...You trick learned!" Soul said to herself, but before she could celebrate any further, she felt a sudden grab in her neck. "...Wha... what!?" Soul struggles to talk as she sees Aphrodite holding her in the neck. "...Not again!" Soul said as she quickly put in some arrows in her bow, and aim it at Aphrodite. 

"... ENOUGH!" Aphrodite yelled as she hit off soul's bow out of her hands before she could use it. "...Stop! I have already apologize." Soul said that her. ".. Apologize?  You really think i take apologise from mortals? I am Aphrodite, the most powerful goddess in the world. I don't take apologise from mortals, i kill them if they offend me." Aphrodite revealed to soul, as she lift her up while still holding her neck. "...stop... please..." Soul struggles to talk as she beg Aphrodite. ".. Wait, isn't that?" Soul said in he mind as she sees Dusa submerging from the ice block she was restrain in. "...Look! Look at your back." Soul said to Aphrodite and point towards Dusa. "...You want to trick me?" Aphrodite angrily said, and then conjure up a sword in her hand. 

"...Die!" Aphrodite said to soul, and was about to stab her with the sword, but a huge magic blast hits her in the back, and pushed her away from soul. "... AHHH!" Aphrodite shouted, after the magic blast hits her in her back. "...Breath! Breath!" Soul repeat to herself as she tries to breath properly.

"...You demons! You forgot about me?" Dusa said to them as she drag her chains on the ground while walking towards soul. "...shit! I have..." Soul wanted to go and get her bow, but she was too weak to stand up. "...you iced me demon! But don't you know that ice can't restrain a goddess!" Dusa shouted, and was about to flogged soul with her deadly chain, but Aphrodite suddenly showed up and countef her chains attack.

"...Shit! What side is she on?" Soul ask herself after seeing how Aphrodite saved her. "...I am not saving you, i just want to bring my sister back to her normal sense, and if she kills you. Then i am afraid that she met be like that forever." Aphrodite revealed to Soul as she hold the end of Dusa's chain with all her strength.

"...You demon you dare hold my spirit weapon?" Dusa said to Aphrodite, and conjure up another chains with blades, into her other hand. "... let's see how strong you ARE!" Dusa shouted, and try to flog Aphrodite with her, but she counter all the attacks with a sword in he hands. "...come on!" Dusa yelled, as she increase the speed of her attacks, but some how, Aphrodite was able to counter all the attacks from the chains while still holding the end of Dusa's other chain with her other hand.

".. sister stop okay! Stop!" Aphrodite shouted to her thinking she that her sanity will when she hears her voice. "...Stop posing as my sister, just tell me where i SHE!" Dusa shouted and a huge magic blast burst out of her body. 

After the huge magic blast burst out of Dusa's body, hundreds of chains with blades surrounded her. 

"...Are gods and goddesses strong when they are angry?" Soul ask herself as she searches for her bow after walking far away from Dusa and Aphrodite. "...Where are...you. Here it is!" Soul excitedly said, and picked up her bow and saw that the handle of the bow was already broken. "...Shit! She broke the bow." Soul grumble and then turn back to look at the battle between the two sisters.

"...Oh mine!" Soul said and stare at the hundreds of chain surrounding Dusa. "...I don't think goddess Aphrodite can hold her ground against those chains!" Soul added. "... Please! Mother of fate. We need you!" Soul said as she watches the battle that was about to happen between the two sister.

"...sister how can you act like this in our mother resting place. You have to snap out of whatever you are seeing! It's not real, it's not real, please fight it." Aphrodite tries to help Dusa, but she don't still ignore everything she said. "... Hahahaha!" Dusa laugh. "... You really think i will listen to a demon like you?" Dusa said and bend down her neck. "...Although you have mu sister's voice, i am still not convince that you are her....so i will ask one last time!" Dusa said to Aphrodite. 

"...Where is my sister?" Dusa ask in a devilish tone, and all the chains around her began to shake intensely. "...You see? My chains are hungry for some blood." Dusa said as she rob the body of one of her chains with her hands. "...I am sick of hearing you call me a demon." Aphrodite boldly said to Dusa. "...If you don't believe me. I will make you believe." Aphrodite added, and then conjure up a sword in her hands which she use to break the chain she was holding.

"...Come out me!" Aphrodite said to Dusa as she pose like who is about to run a raise. "...Die demon!" Dusa yelled, and all her chains immediately head straight to Aphrodite.

" ..Dear mother fate, please give me strength!" Aphrodite quietly said to herself, and charges towards the thousands of chains heading towards her. ".... You. Can't. Continue. Like. This. Sister!" Aphrodite said each words as she fight against all the chains. "...Stop calling me your sister!" Dusa shouted to her, and more chains began appears around her, and fly straight to Aphrodite.

"...Her mind have been taken over by the illusion. I need to do something that will remind me and everything she loves." Aphrodite thinks as she fight off all the chains storming towards her. "...Sister is me, it's Aphrodite." Aphrodite said to Dusa. "...Stop posing as my sister you demon!" Dusa shouted, and use her chains to tie up Aphrodite. 

Aphrodite wanted her to do that, so that are plan can work.

"...I am your sister, it's me Aphrodite." Aphrodite said to her again. "...I said! Stop posing as my sister you demon." Dusa yelled, and some chains around her, began to flogging her. 

"...Shit! Do goddess Aphrodite wants to kill herself?" Soul ask as she watch how the chains were flogging her mercilessly. 

"...I am your sister, Aphrodite. I killed Zadre remember?" Aphrodite said to her despite the chains attacks she was receiving. "...What?!" Dusa quiety said, and staggered backward. "...No you are lying, how can a demon like you kill Zadre!" Dusa ask her as tears drip down her eyes. "...I also contributed my powers to create the magic that killed you millions of years ago." Aphrodite said to her again, and this made Dusa fell to the ground. 

She was deeply confuse, and don't know what to believe.

"... It's me sister! Open your eyes, you are stronger than the illusion that plaques your mind." Aphrodite said to her, and then use her magic to blast all the chains away from her body.

"...So she have the power to free herself?" Soul ask. "....the gods and goddesses of Olympus do work in mysterious way." Soul added, and slowly walk to where Dusa's was. 

"....sister! Sister are you okay?" Aphrodite ask Dusa as she walk near her. "...Yes! Sister i am okay!" Dusa replied her, and slowly stand up from the ground. "...Where are the demons??" Dusa ask Aphrodite. "...What demons?" Aphrodite ask her back.

"...I saw some demons, and they had some voice. I even fought them, but one of them iced me, and also shot me with multiple arrows." Dusa explained to Aphrodite.
