IRON’S POVAthena and I followed the Titan who had brought the report to where the body of the dead Titan was, and there he was, sprawled on the ground.Dead.“Lord Dante…”“Lord Dante…”The Titans bowed their heads in reverence, but I wasn’t interested in that, so I simply waved them off. “Save the reverence and I need to know what happened here,” I stated.Then I caught sight of Blake standing there with the others, staring at the dead Titan.“Blake, what happened?” I asked him.Blake didn’t respond, and I was already getting upset that he was ignoring me, which was disrespectful, especially as we were in the presence of the others, but then I realized that he was actually sobbing.A quiet, deeply painful sob.Blake, the man who did succumb to my torture for days, was crying. By merely looking at him, one wouldn’t have guessed it. The only noticeable thing was the stiffness of his jaw, and the popping out of his veins, as though they would burst out of his skin.“Can someone else

ATHENA’S POVI was on my way out of the Organization using the route I usually took, and very early enough when I ran into Hades.“Where are you off to dressed like this and this early?” He asked me.“I am just stepping out,” I told him.He scoffed and jested.Hades wasn’t particularly my favorite, and quite frankly, aside from the fact that I had liked Lord Dante way back, I was happy that he was back to take over his throne as the Titan war god. Hades did well to keep Lord Dante’s throne, but then again, he was a horrible leader.“Everyone here knows that you are nothing but a dancer,” he said.“I was, Hades, but not anymore,” I said, trying to maintain the respect I had always shown to him.They always acted like they knew everything because they were males, but it wasn’t always like that. Unlike the others, I had kept a close eye, even though not close enough, and I knew that as for Hades, as long as he got the respect he wanted even if he never gave it out, you would never become

IRON’S POV“Hera, is that you?” I asked.A mist, formed in a shape, dangerously similar to that of Hera, walked past me when I wasn’t really paying attention.I didn’t get a response, but I waited for the image to pass again.I waited for almost an eternity before it passed again, and this time around, I could see clearly that it was Hera. It was still a mist, but it was Hera quite alright.“Hera, it’s you,” I stated.Was that a smile I was seeing? She looked beautiful as she had always looked, and innocent too, but she also looked pained and sad.“What’s wrong?” I asked her with concern.Hera knew that I would do anything for her. As a matter of fact, I would have given my life in exchange for hers. I would have willingly given up my throne as the Titan war god just so that she could be spared. I loved Hera that much, and she loved me even more.“Do you still love me?” She asked.Her voice was very low, and I wouldn’t have heard her if my heart wasn’t connected to hers.“Yes, I do,

HADES’ POVI took a walk around the Organization, making sure to avoid anywhere close to Iron because right now, I didn’t want to see him or speak to him.Until all this was resolved, the distance was better.Hopefully, he would budge and give me the pleasure of murdering Blake myself, and I would make sure I did it in a way that it had never done before.I stopped when I heard someone weeping.Curiosity made me go closer, and there he was, Blake, weeping.“He mourns,” I mocked.I knew how special the dead Titan was to him. Blake ignored me, but I wasn’t done with him. He had always taken liberty in ensuring that he ripped off every regard Iron had for me, so why should I be sympathetic towards him?“I wish it was you that had been murdered,” I sneered, and I wasn’t sorry I did.Since the incident, I had been wondering why it wasn’t Blake. Whoever this person was should have gone for Blake. The Titan he murdered was almost as half as useless as could ever be, but Blake would have been

HADES’ POV“He wants me to go on a mission with Blake,” I muttered to myself in anger.Iron knew, more than anyone else, that I didn’t like going on missions or assignments with anyone else but myself, and yet, he chose to pair me with Blake.“This time around, make sure to return with his head,” Iron had instructed.“Yes, Lord Dante,” Blake had been more than willing and eager to do his bidding.The slimy bastard.I was thinking long and hard about what to do. No matter what, I would not be able to convince Iron to change his mind. He wouldn’t, but I certainly couldn’t go with Blake.“And to think that Helheim had wanted me to meet with Vince but I said no,” I thought to myself bitterly.No doubt, Iron got this information from that damn Seer, which he was still keeping away from me, but now that he could get information without my help, the offer of Blake’s head that I had demanded earlier was now off the table.“Damn,” I lamented grumpily.Blake would be very excited now, but here
