-What are you talking about, Athena? (Perseus)
The man shouts at the woman in front of him.
-... (Athena)
-Why did the "Order" allow them to join our side? (Perseus)
Athena shakes her head and replies to the man.
-I can''t overturn their decision, Perseus. (Athena)
-... (Perseus)
After Athena finished talking to Perseus, she went out and left Perseus behind alone. Perseus bites his lips until it bleeding.
-Why did they allow them to join us? (Perseus)
Terrible blood lust comes from Perseus.
-I can''t have my revenge on them if they did that. (Perseus)
After a while, Perseus decides to return to his room.
-I''m back. (Perseus)
However, no one inside the room replies to Perseus. He walks to the stone of a woman placed carefully in the room''s corner.
-Andromeda. (Perseus)
Perseus takes a wine bottle out from under the bed and drinks it. He sits down at the statue and starts crying.
-I miss you so much, Andromeda. (Perseus)
If the others look at the current Perseus, they will not detect a trace of a mighty god. All they can find here is a depressed and lonely man.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the day Perseus received the news that Jormungandr''s army joined the "Order." He spent days and nights drinking.
-Justice, they say. (Perseus)
He throws the bottle at the wall nearby.
-Where is my justice, then? (Perseus)
The man angrily curses the "Order" out loud.
-Those jerks forgive their crime because they joined "Order."What kind of bullsh*t is that? (Perseus)
-How about taking revenge on them? (???)
-Who''s there? (Perseus)
But no one replies to him when he asks out loud. He scratches his head and sighs.
-Maybe I have drunk too much. (Perseus)
If there is nothing happens, Perseus''s daily life will remain like that without changing. Until one day, her sister knocks on his bedroom.
-Perseus. (Athena)
The man answers in a drunk voice.
-Yes? (Perseus)
The man lazily raises his body and walks toward the door. He opens the door and finds his cousin Athena is standing on the other side.
-Why are you here? (Perseus)
-I need you to do something. (Athena)
The man replies to her with sarcasm.
-Do you think I can help you in this state? (Perseus)
-I think you can. (Athena)
Athena smiles and answers him.
-There is a help signal that comes from a force that belongs to "Order. " (Athena)
-Then what? I''m not in the mood to rescue anyone. (Perseus)
-The signal comes from Jormungandr''s army. (Athena)
The moment the man heard that name, he turned sharply and stares at Athena.
-... (Perseus)
He lets out a sigh and turns back to the room.
-I can''t do anything after all. In "Order", we can''t harm people in the same faction. (Perseus)
-... (Athena)
The girl places a crystal on a table in his room and turns around.
-I will leave the guide crystal here. You can find Jormungandr''s army using this stone. (Athena)
-... (Perseus)
Perseus sits down and stares at the crystal lying on the ground.
-Hah! (Perseus)
He makes up his mind and picks the crystal up.
-I will use my own eyes to judge them. If they are devils, I will slay them even if I have to go against the "Order." (Perseus)
Perseus opens his wardrobe and takes out a shield and winged sandals.
-Where did I leave my sword? Is it nearby? (Perseus)
It takes a while for Perseus to find a sword in the corner of his room.
-I feel something wrong with the sword. (Perseus)
He wields the sword and tries swinging it.
-Maybe it''s just my imagination. (Perseus)
Perseus leaves the room and heads to the battlefield. However, he doesn''t notice the mysterious energy is lurking inside his sword.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Athena came out from the shadow of the room and watched over Perseus figure leaving the room.
-Hahahaha. He took the bait. (Athena)
Another shadow appears from right behind the laughing Athena and speaks.
-You are playing with those gods again, sister. (Yoso)
-Oh! (Athena)
Athena turns around and replies to the shadow.
-What are you doing over here, Yog-Sothoth? I thought you would spend your time and play with your favourite mortal right now? (Athena)
-I''m just passing by. (Yoso)
-You have a lot of time on your hand. (Athena)
Athena glares at Yoso and says.
-I don''t know what you are planning, Yoso. But don''t you dare to ruin my game. (Athena)
Yoso replies to the girl in a monotonous voice.
-I won''t. (Yoso)
-Good. (Athena)
-How long do you want to wear that fake skin? (Yoso)
-Right, I almost forget about it. (Athena)
Athena takes off her skin as if it is made from clothes. What appears from inside the skin is a dark shadow with a human figure.
-That man couldn''t notice the difference between his actual cousin and me. (Shadow)
-Your disuse is perfect as always, sister. (Yoso)
-Right. (Shadow)
The shadow turns to Yoso and tells her.
-I''m going to leave now, Yog-Sothoth. I want to witness his massacre directly. (Shadow)
-Okay, sister. (Yoso)
The shadow disappeared and left Yoso behind.
-I can''t directly intercept with the battle to help Farah. (Yoso)
A faint smile suddenly forms on Yoso''s face.
-However, the future me likely know what to do. (Yoso)
