"We can use the same spell"
When she muttered, the room went quiet. The table stares at her wide and some uncertain, Susanoo eyes narrowed understanding that she ment but then he realized what she meant. The woman made of fire burned around her chair her eyes blazing with confusion when she moved her hand to the maps her hand grew with heat,
"You want to put the same practice in play? Trying to trap them, Artemis?" The woman inquired
"Not trapping them, keeping them out of the realms making them a standing target to throw our knives at," Artemis explained
The table went from a stiff caught off gaurd laying question after question, now a hesitant silence with a hint of thought passing through them all, Odin placed his beer on the table with a resounding bang, catching Arts attionon, Odins blue hue stared into her greens, and he saw the possibility of her theory. It was a risk that most people thought would not be the same again. He felt his eye burn under his patch.
"You want to use the spell that helped Shai stabilize," He growled, leaning as close as he could to her, His blue eye casting an eerie glow,
"She became one of us by him and the spell now you want to do this with our words? Tell me how jeperdizing are you are trying to make us seem," Odin continued to ask
Art acknowledged how bizarre it sounds, how perilous it will be but the spell had a chance of being their protection they never thought they would need, Art heard Zeus participate in the discussion,
"Don't get aggravated just yet, Odin let her explain this outlandish idea. Before we take it out of the question,"
Odin peered at him when his eyes stared back at Artemis, his gaze hardened while he motioned his hand offering her the grounds to speak, Artemis cleared her throat, feeling their hard, calculating stares on her as she explained,
"The spell instead of stabilizing an uncontrollable being, but for this spell we would have to change it, make it not to stabilize but protect the person that was affected by the previous spell, to use their power, making Dalos unable to tamper with our worlds,
"Connecting Shai to our wolds thats your spell,..Art this is very ambitious, could be destructive if left untethered," Isis utters, leaning her hand under her chin, her enchanting brow eyes gleamed at Art,
"In a way, she will be a part of our world, tethered as you said Shai would be, she could feel the tension in the air, the strain of the worlds at her shoulders, pulling and both brought together. I don't know what other pain she might feel from it or what might happen with the spell, other than changing it would lead to our worlds not being touched by them again,"
"You're telling us that she could protect us from being trapped, but at her own cost? You think this will work, that her pain and suffering will be worth it for her," Hera implored
Art tilted her head to Hera and, coincidentally, Zeus, Hera looked back stoically to her her chin held high with Zeus holding onto her chair arm with a slight thoughtful grin on his face,
"I think it will be worth it for all of us, the protection it will place will leave Dalos with no choise left, he would have to try and break throught Shais walls, And even at that the spell is strong even for him, it would stop him for now, giving us enough time to plan the next step ahead of him,"
"Step ahead of what before he only wanted to rule over his kind there wasn't…" Susanoo is cut off, the figure's eyes glowed a menacing red as he moved the building letting the gods see it in a different light, it howed the portal room once more, its busy bodies moving in and out patching, preparing, but this time it wasn't just for them, it looked new, a grand design. The figure looked at Susanoo, his eyes narrowed his hand outstretched to the map,
"There preparing to build the traps in time on a larger scale, one that would not just trap us but the the world itself will freeze within time," The figuer explianed
"They trap the planets? Figuer you know that takes emasculating power just for that spell but a world to protect it from them freezing us in time?" The dragon tilted his head towards the figure not out of critical reluctance, but thoughtful incentive. The figuer nod stiffly his gaze flickering around the room. He stiffened when the other figure moved from his lounging state. He sat up his elbow on the table his hand under his eyes, with a faint smirk, he agreed with the figure,
"They and I should mean Dalos have only a little choice and very little time to participate in another idea, so far, He has his title back, he needs the admiration of his people back and fast, before he has Haldio place his sweet lies into his people's ears, or overriding Haldio, but this is Dalos, he's already has control of the building, he's building the new traps. Staging the next part of his plan," The other figuer lean closer to the table his gaze blazing with hidden anger, he moved his hand the witnessed the building bursting into light. From around it, the green hued building seemed like the cage they had placed before, glowing out for their section of the univers it stretched far beyond the worlds into their pockets, their own worlds taking that light, wrapping it around them, caging them. The table watched horrid or in awe at the sight. Some held a stern anger that billed the other the hands tightened, one held the mug of beer tighter the other held the chair arm, making the marble crack under his grip,
"You see it now, what Apet did was mercy compared to what Dalos will do, This is something we thought he wouldn't get to do, he has all the intent to do so," The other figure stared at them, finding their exasperation to be concerning to him. He moved the map from the universe to the building, glowing a menacing green light,
"He's taking our ways without a second thought?" Zeus questioned his voice hidding the outrage behind it, his eyes peaking in light, with the glow on the table. The other figure and the figure peeked at each other, they knew for certain that Dalos would do this. They just thought he was really gone; he wouldn't be able to contemplate this. They were wrong, they knew it now.
"He will, even if it means taking away his secrecy; he will trap us all. No weapon, no bombs, no infinite powers can break that trap. It will be set no moving in or out, no passing through time or space," The other figuer elaborate,
"He wants us trapped, but to our own confinement only with his will, that we will be free," Apollo let out, bewildered, his gold eye narrowed,
"From what it seems yes, to have all his enemies subdued, taken under his foot would be his goal, but it would be only he could take the trap down," The figure said before others could interject. The figure inspected the emotions of the entities around him. They where darken, full of internal worries. Susanoo glared at them, his dark blues was like staring into a storm ridden ocean, swallowing any ships into its bottomless void. His grip tightened on his sword while the woman beside him burned with brazen anger, her eyes glowed like vibrant lava. Isis on the other side of the table, held her sand letting it fall from her grip like she's holding a hand. Asclepius had his hand running through his beard with a thoughtful look on his face, his gaze set on the map it rarely glanced at the figures. Art observed the figures with an unmounting intensity her eyes were of green gems blazen by fire, her hand on the chair held them so tight it started to crumble under her fingers, Apollo beside her peered at her conseringly taking her hand away from the chair into his,
"Calm down its alright lets hear them out," He tried to soothe her.
"I will…just give me a moment," Art uttered in a harsh tone,
"We might not have time for that," The woman made of lava pointed out, her heat coming to blistering,
"Pele i still need to have a cool head under this, figures," Hera let out her purple hues went at the two, her hand was holding onto Zeus begrudgingly,
"Dalos wants us imprisoned again? Under his influence, we will be nothing but tools, like we haven't been before with Apet. Only his own power can reverse it, even with that, we would have to pay for whatever he would want."
The figure took one more peer around the table when his voice was cold. Dreadful, even that sent a cold air around the room. He stared back at the map, his eyes hardened,
"If we let them that is," He huffed, leaning back in his marble chair but a voice cut through the dreaded cold.
"Only his power?"
The voice shot through them all, sending a preverbal shiver through the table and making it rattle, the dragon made it shake, flick there tail, causing the table to rattle. Pele lava bubbled her gaze, examining Art, checking for any doubts Art might have. Susanoo's eyes held the same storm, only for it to dwindle. Intrigued, the other gods held the same confused but more infatuated, the sand built up around them with a bitter blast of cold from the other side, to the stiff cracks of lightning from the back of the table with gold flecks of light appearing around them,
"Only his power can break the spell Art," Zeus hummed leaning on his hand eyes fixated on her,
"That power isn't like any of ours, he made it that way for a reason to stop us from getting out, i think you're insinuating that there's something more here?" Odin insinuated, his beer mug lifted chugging some of the beverage.
Art wanted to say something when Hera interjected, "She might be right, however i wont be so persuaded Art, tell us," Hera asked leaning forward a small smile placed on her lips,
Art nods slowly her hand fidgeting on the table, her eyes on the surrounding people stared through her, she closed her eye for a moment gathering her thoughts. The idea she had wonder what they would react. You already know what happened when the mirror broke.
"Get back to my idea, she has his power in her stabilized in her, she likes us now in a way she's like him," Artemis expressed
She observed them again, hearing them speaking, "It made sence, she held him in her hands for some time, he must have unconsciously given Shai a piece of him, more than he thought could occur. It did, she broke the mirror with him, i plundered that answer since she was unconscious," Asclepius woundered scratching his chin his bronze eyes scortching staring at her,
"How can you be so certain she has this? For the spell to work on her so well it make any power that lingered hers?" Pele asked
"That might be it," Odin grumbled, sloshing his beer in the mug when his sharp gaze caught Artemis,
"Tell me what it is that you plan for Shai if this seems true, that could help with taking Dalos in," He continued
Art eyes met his and gave him a stiff nod. She then parted on to them,
"She has Dalos power in her. It was weak when we broke the mirrors, but in the spell Asclepius and Apollo made, something in her changed, making her like him. She can make his barrier…she can make his traps.."
Art halted her green eyes shone a vibrant green, "Shai can break it to, he didn't count on this, he thought she would be dead by now from the spell, not surviving the suffering incurred. She survived. For now." Art explained when she peered at Apollo and Asclepius,
"We need that spell again, but turn it on its head, give it to her, help her understand it, then… "
Art turned to the rest, her voice stark and demanding, "Then we warn the humans she holds dear, making a warning of sorts over there home, taking refuge of sorts,"
Apollo stared at her, confused. His hand tightened around hers. He spoke hesitantly.
"The spell changed it. You think that will work?"
"It will. Because that spell binds us to her in a way, it will now bind her to the worlds," Art told them, her voice cracked.
