Chapter 2
“Alvr why don’t tell us first?”
“Alright, M’ Lord. So here’s what happened…
Judging by the position of Nyx and Erebos, it was just after sunset. I was just putting Crissiphone to bed when the doors burst open unexpectedly. There, silhoutted against the doorway, was a knight dressed in black armor, face covered with a helmet marked with the symbol of an Elemental. What they were doing outside of the Unknowns was mysterious to me. Pulling out my prized weapon from under my cape, I stood ready to battle the intruder. In one swift movement I found myself on the floor. The knight was then standing above me, one foot rested upon my stomach. Leaning close to my ear and talking in a steady whisper, he said, “Give me the girl or my blade shall run through you and your master.”
Shivers ran up and down my spine. For some reason that voice was so familiar even though the helmet created a more rumbling sound, confusing me. Glaring straight into the bright blue eyes shining through the mask I asked, “Only my family knows the secret on how to kill an immortal! How could you possibly know how to make the Miakm?” The reply I got was,
“Simple really. I could have known in a couple of different ways. I have spies that are related to you, and I’m related to you.”
That’s when it hit me. This man was actually a woman! Darkhalm was the only one who didn’t like people knowing her real gender. I knew Darkhalm was related to me somehow, but my memory from back before I was banished was so unclear. The other reason why I knew it was Darkhalm was because the knight and a small group of other people in my family, including me, had eyes that shone brightly like that. Of course when I was banished my eyes changed, but that's a different story.
Before I could say anything else, Darkhalm threw me into the wall right behind the thrones across the room, and thrust the sword through my chest. Luckily though it was my right side not my left. While blood spilled down to the black and gold marble floor, as well as onto the ivory throne of Persephone’s. Darkhalm chuckled quietly as she left the throne room. I began to fall unconscious, my last sight was of a trail of blood following Darkhalm’s wake, and more blood seeping onto the bottom of the bone infused throne of Hades.
And that was all I can recall my lord.”
“Thank you for the information Alvr. Gonesthan, now it is your turn.” said Zeus.
