Chapter 74
"what da hell was that sound?" Soul said as she slowly opens her eyes.
"...Why is everywhere covered with dust?" She ask herself.
"... that's not dust!" Dusa who was also now awake stated.
"...If that's not dust then what is that?" Soul ask her.
"Two powerful gods fought just now. And one hit his or her spirit weapon on the other body. The thing all over this place is not dust, but the particles from the body of a god.... probably the one that was hit." Dusa explained.
"...so you mean that dust comes out of gods body when they are hit with spirit weapons?" Soul ask her.
"..No! Yes! Maybe. Look! I can't explain it, Aphrodite is the only person that can truly explain it to you, but she is not here so...." Dusa said, and looked down at the sinking ground.
"...We ain't sinking." She stated.
"Yes! You are right." Soul added.
"...I wonder why?" Dusa ask.
"..I guess Zeus wants to completely take all our powers before he send us down into the ground." Soul stated.
"Yes! That's it!" Dusa suddenly shouted.
"That's what?" Soul ask her.
"...I think i know a way we can get out of here before that madman comes back to completely take all our powers." Dusa revealed.
"Okay! How?" Soul ask her.
"..we are going to go inside the sinking ground." Dusa stated.
"What?!" Soul shouted.
"...You know that Zeus wanted to kill us by sinking us into the ground. And now you want us to go into the ground?" Soul ask her.
"Trust me on this. I think that is the only way we can truly get out of this damn trap!" Dusa said.
"Fine! But if i die...i am blaming you." Soul said, and turn to where Eros body was but he wasn't there.
"Wait! Where is Eros?!" She nervously ask.
"Look behind you." Dusa firmly said to her and she did exactly that.
"Eros!!" Soul shouted after turning her face and seeing Eros unconscious behind her.
"...I can't see him properly. I need to reach to him." Soul said and then try to force her hands out of the sinking ground but it was in too deep.
"Damnit!" Soul shouted in frustration as she tried her best to remove her hands from the sinking ground, or turn around to properly look at Eros, but couldn't do any.
"..stop shouting! You are only wasting your strength." Dusa said to her, while staring at the sinking ground she was in.
"Eros is badly injured, and he need me." Soul stated.
"And you will get to him, but first we need to get out of here." Dusa stated.
"...Okay! Fine." Soul firmly stated.
"...so what is your plan?" Soul ask her.
".. can't explain it, just follow my lead." Dusa said, raise her head up and take a deep breathe.
"BURN!" Dusa shouted out loud, and fire blast out of her mouth. She then quickly bend down her head and began using her fire breathe to burn the ground.
Soul found this strange, and wanted to ask her why was she doing that. But they was not time for questions.
"Okay! Here i go!" Soul said in her mind, and raise up her head.
"BURN!" Soul shouted out, and fire also blast out of my mouth.
"I did it...it work i did it!" Soul excitedly said, and then the fire in our mouth disappear.
"...When you summon your fire breathe, you don't talk much" Dusa revealed to her while still using her own fire breathe to burn the sinking down.
"Okay! Note." Soul said, and then raise up her head again.
"BURN!" Soul shouted, and then fire blast out of her mouth like and dragon. She immediately bend down her head, and began using her fire breathe to burn the sinking ground.
Both she and Dusa do this for a while before something strange began to happen.
"AHHHHH!" Soul shouted as she force her to breathe out more fire from her mouth.
"Stop!" Dusa suddenly shouted and all the fire coming out of her mouth disappear.
"What?!" Soul spoke out and the fire blasting out of her mouth immediately disappear.
"...it is working now." Dusa calmly said.
"What is working?" Soul ask her, and look at the ground to see that they are sinking again.
"Damnit! We are sinking!" She panicked.
"That's it, we have to sink into the ground to get out, and that was why i said we should blast the ground with our fire breathe." Dusa explained.
"I still don't understand." Soul said to her.
"...Look! Zeus said that the more we move or try to use our powers to free ourselves from the sinking ground. The more the ground will swallow us up. Right?" Dusa ask her.
"Yes! That evil man said that." Soul answered.
"...okay! When we both were unconscious just now, we didn't sink into the ground because...?" Dusa ask her.
"...Well, well....yes! Because we weren't using our powers or physical strength to try to escape that time." Soul answered.
"You got it. So...the more we use our fire breathe to blast the sinking down...." Dusa words were cut short by soul.
"...the more the ground will swallow us up, and we will get inside...i guess." Soul complete what Dusa was about to say.
"Yes! Correct." Dusa answered.
"Okay...." Soul muttered and look down to see that they have already began to sink into the ground.
"...so what is going to happen when we enter into the ground?" Soul ask her.
"We will die!" Dusa answered.
"What?!" Soul shouted at her.
"... it's just a joke, we wouldn't die.... hahahaha! Look at your face." Dusa said and began laughing.
"It's not funny, i need to stay alive to take care of Eros. He is badly wounded." Soul said in a sad tone, and then Dusa stopped laughing.
"It is going to be fine. Eros is one of the strongest gods in Olympus. He will definitely survive some few thunderbolts." Dusa stated.
"I pray." Soul firmly said.
"...so what is really going to happen when we enter into the sinking ground?" Soul ask her again.
"...i will quickly create a Forcefield which will protect us, the moment we sink into the ground. And after creating the Forcefield i will then create a portal that will take us back to Olympus." Dusa revealed.
"Okay." Soul muttered.
"That's strange." Dusa turn and said to her.
"What's strange?" Soul ask her.
"...you normally have a question, or want to add something, but this time you don't." Dusa revealed.
"...okay! It's not like i don't believe in your powers, but can your powers handle all that you just said? Can you create a Forcefield for all of us, and also create a portal that will bring us back to the past? You remember that we are in the past right? This is not the future Olympus." Soul ask her.
"What do you mean that this is not the future Olympus...are you from the future?" The god of pride suddenly appear close to soul and ask her.
"What?! I did not say anything about the future, did you just hear 'future' from my mouth?" Soul played dumb.
"... it's fine Soul, just tell him about what happened in the future." Dusa said, while her head slowly sinks into the ground.
"..OKAY! look we have seen Olympus future and we know what happened." Soul revealed.
"...what...what happened?" The god of pride ask her.
"you all were defected by Hades and we also killed each and everyone of you." Soul revealed to him as her some part of her head also sink into the ground.
"...You are lying. Hades will NEVER be able to defect all of us especially when we combine our powers and strength. So stop lying." The god of pride stated.
"...it is the truth! Why will i even lie?!" Soul angrily ask him, and then he thought about it for a while.
"Yes! You better think about it, and you better tell Zeus and all the upper gods about this." Soul said, and her head completely sink into the ground.
"Better let all the gods know about their fate if they face Hades. Better tell them what will become of them, and do not lie about it." Dusa said her last words, and then her head completely sink into the ground.
"ARRRHHH!" The two spirit animal shouted for the last time, and them too sink into the ground.
Now, Both Soul, Dusa and their spirit animals have now sink into the ground.
"....we all died at the end?" The god of pride ask himself.
"It must be a lie right? We the upper gods can't just die. We are the most powerful beings in the universe, and when we combine our powers we are even more powerful. So how can all just die in the hands of Hades?" The god of pride thought, and then what Soul and Dusa said to him ring through his mind.
