Chapter 57

"What do you mean by that Soul?....are you trying to say that you want to risk your life, so that we can have a fighting chance in the against Hades?" Eros ask her. 

"No! That's definitely not what i am saying god of love..." Soul replied him.

".. What i am trying to...." 

"...What are you trying to say then?" Dusa ask soul before she could explain herself.

"...okay!" Soul said and take a deep breathe.

"...you see, all the fighting strategies god of love, god of hate and goddess Aphrodite came up with looks connected....infact they are connected and i think that one of us can use all the strategy against Hades while the others attack Hades directly." Soul explain. 

"Wait! Soul, i think that would be really dangerous...." Eros was about to say something, but his words were cut short by Dusa.

"Wait!" Dusa shouted at Eros. 

"Please soul go on, explain your plan further i only understand a little of it." Dusa said to soul. 

"Thank you for wanting to hear out my plans goddess. Okay! See. the god of love said that if we want to properly defect Hades in a battle we must take him down with a surprise attack right?" Soul ask they all. 

"Yes!" Everybody answered except for Eros. 

"Well, you can use me as the surprise attack. I can be the one to take Hades down with my new spirit weapon. I am pretty sure it wouldn't expect it because he may think that i am still a mortal who was bless with just a few portion of the mother of fate magic." Soul explain, and they are nod their heads. 

"Nice idea Soul, that could work but how is that your idea even connected to my own strategy?" Zadre ask her.

"Nice question..." Soul said and brought out her hands. 

"You see, if i alone want to surprise Hades with an attack that will take him down, i can also surprise him with my presence." Soul said and create a man with her fingers.

"You see, when i show up in front of Hades, he might also think that i cannot fight or have enough magical powers in me to defect him. But when he try to kill me, i will need you gods and goddess to distract him with minor magical blast, then i will bring out my magical weapon, and hits him with as many strikes i can." Soul explain and withdraw her hands. 

"Woah soul that's an amazing idea!" Dusa compliment her thinking. 

"...Yes! That may work too." Zadre speak out.

"Thank you for supporting my idea, but..." Soul said, and brought out her hands and two people with her finger. 

"..but what?" They all ask her.

"There is no guarantee that my surprise attacks and presence will kill Hades..." Soul said with a sad tone, and Eros was really happy with what she said.

"..yeah you are right, your attacks may not kill Hades because you ain't too strong yet. And you haven't get the hang on how to use your powers. So just leave the fight to us and help the wounded okay." Eros immediately said to her. 

"..No! I may be weak or haven't gotten use to my powers but i would not stay away from a war i also help create. I will fight to the end." Soup boldly said to them, and they were impress. 

"Wait! Isn't this the mortal that was afraid of everything in the under world when she might came. How come she is so brave all of a sudden?" Zadre ask himself. 

"...so what do you what to do?....now that you don't want to run away from the battle?" Aphrodite ask her. 

"Okay, look! I know that my powers wouldn't be able to properly kill Hades, but when i surprise him with my presence and blast him with my attacks, you all that swoop in, and finish Hades off with your own powerful attacks." Soul explain to them and they were all please with her idea. 

Well... except for Eros who think that Hades might kill Soul in the battle. 

"...but Soul you don't have to risk your life, just to weaken Hades. Just leave that job to us, and we will carry it out perfectly." Eros said as his spirit animal carries him close to her.

"I am really sorry Eros, but this fight is also my fight, and i want to stop Hades too." Soul said to him in a serious tone. 

 "I understand you think it's your fight, but you are not strong enough to face Hades now. There is no guarantee that your plan will even work, and you will be able to even land an hit on Hades." Eros said to her and try to holds her hand. 

"No!" Soul shouted at him, and withdraw her hands to herself. 

"Everybody here believes i can pull it off, but you don't and you are suppose to be my partner." Soul said to him. 

"Wait! That's not it..." Eros wanted to hold her hands again and say something to her, but Soul's spirit animal carries her away from him.

"...i am really sorry Eros but i am going through with my plans..." Soul quietly said to him, and then the entire resting place of the mother of fate began to shake. 

"What's going on?" Eros ask himself, and turn around to see the two glowing hands of the mother of fate raising up.

"I think is time to leave." Dusa stated, and her spirit animal walk her towards the mother of fate.

"Wait! Come on. You gods can't seriously let Soul risk her life, she is new to all this!" Eros yell to them, but they all ignore him and walk towards the lights. 

"It's okay son. Soul is a brave and strong princess. She won't die if she face Hades in battle." Aphrodite softly said to Eros.

"We can't be sure about that mother." Eros said in a sad tone, and bend his hands. 

"Cheer up, you are a god!" Aphrodite shouted at him after seeing the way he looked sad. 

"... soul would not die. She did not die, when that demon tried to kill her back in the mortal realm, she did not die when that goddess kidnapped and brought her to the underworld, and she did not die when i tried to kill her. So, she will definitely not die when she face Hades again." Aphrodite said to Eros and holds his face.

"Believe in her son, believe in your partner." Aphrodite added, and then her spirit animal walk her to the light. 

".. believe in her?" Eros ask himself, and then his spirit animal carries him to the light.

"YOU ARE ALL GATHERED! GREAT!" The mother of fate voice fills the whole place. 

"...so are we going now mother?" Dusa asked. 

"YES!" The mother of fate answered, and then suddenly smash her two glowing hands together.

Her entire resting place then shakes dramatically because of this.

"Whao!!" Soul shouted, and grab her spirit animal tightly so that she wouldn't fall off from the shake. 

"I am sorry about that children, i had to hit my hands together otherwise the spell will not work." The mother of fate said, and stretch out one of her hands. 

"Here!" She added, and a large portal appear close to her. 

"....You all can leave through it." The mother of fate added. 

"Thank you mother!" Dusa loudly said to her, and bow. 

"I am promise to stop Hades!" Dusa yells while still bowing her head, and then all of them bow.

"We promise to stop Hades!" They all yell too.

"Okay! I am counting on each of you. Do not fail me and please do not fail fate." The mother of fate strangely said. 

"We wouldn't!" They all answered even though they did not understand what the mother of fate just said.

"Okay go!" The mother of fate commanded, and their spirit animal slowly carry them into the portal.

"See you some other time, mother!" Dusa said in her mind as she get close to the portal. 

"Wait!" The mother of fate of suddenly shouted. 

"What mother! What is it?" Dusa stopped her spirit animal from moving and ask her. 

"What do you want to give us mother?" Soul ask her. 

"I don't want to give you anything, i just want you all to know that working together and believing in each other abilities will help you in the battle you are able to face." The mother of fate advise. 

"Mother, the way you speak just now, it feels like you don't believe we can convince the upper god not to fight Hades." Aphrodite said to her, but she did not give her any reply.

"...go now children, before the portal closes." The mother of fate said to them. 

"...but..." 

"Come on Aphrodite, there is a battle that needs conquering up ahead." Dusa to Aphrodite, and her spirit animal carries her into the portal. 

"Fine!" Aphrodite said to herself, and also enter into the portal. 

"I am coming to face you father!" Zadre said in his mind and his spirit animal flies him into the portal. 

"Let's do this!" Soul take a deep breath, and was about to enter into the portal, but Eros suddenly call out to her so she stopped midway.
