Vol. 1 The Jump into The Odyssey

Ch. 3 Council of Fools and The Fall of the King

------

Reina flew over Laconia, her eyes scanning the sleeping city with curiosity. The architecture was unfamiliar to her. If said honestly it almost looked quite primitive, but she did not spare much thought as she remembered that this planet was still in its early stages.

Reina locked onto the palace and zeroed in with grace. Spreading her wings, she perched herself onto the branch of a tree just outside Leonidas' sleeping quarters and his wife, Gorgo. Apparently, there was a spectacle going on between her and the councilman who she called Theron. Reina was amused as the beautiful Gorgo slapped Theron with her rage burning in her eyes.

'Ooo~ Quite a bold lady Leonidas got himself.' Reina said as she eyed Gorgo like a predator before she trilled in faux sadness. 'Sadly, she is taken.'

'And when has that ever stopped you?' The condescending voice of Kaguya was still as annoying as the last time they had spoken. 'From what I have seen from your memories, you are no better than the pervert called Jiraya.'

'Good evening to you as well my beautiful tenant.' Reina rolled her eyes. 'Hope you had a great time skimming through my memories WITHOUT my permission. Also, there is a major difference between me and that toad. The ladies love me.'

'Save your flattery and I don't need your permission. You didn't ask mine when sealing me, did you?' Kaguya rebutted as she laid lazily on a sofa in Reina's Mindscape.

'Touché.'

'I am still surprised how you shagged every decent-looking woman you came across and how none of them had any problems.' Kaguya said with a deadpanned face.

'No one complains if you are good and if you have seen my memories, I take it you know just how good I can be.' Reina said seductively. 'I can be good even to you if you want me to and let me show you~~'

Kaguya spluttered with a red face.

'Fuck off! I hate you so much!'

Reina giggled in her mind as she tuned out the embarrassed rabbit. She turned serious as she realized that the situation didn't look so good for Gorgo. Theron was blackmailing her into having sex with her and it looked like Gorgo too had resolved herself for this even as she released a lot of hate and anger. Gorgo undressed as Theron smirked sadistically to himself with a sick look in his eyes.

'I have seen enough.' Reina jumped off the branch and towards the sick bastard as Theron reached to defile Gorgo. Reina attacked Theron shocking Gorgo, Reina clawed at his face with her sharp talon and her beak. The man screamed in misery as Reina damaged his left eye.

"Ahhh! What is this!" Theron screamed in pain stumbling backward clutching his bleeding eye. Reina perched herself on the shoulder of the anxious Gorgo who was still naked. Theron shakily got up as he retrieved a dagger. "Look what have you done stupid bird! I shall eat you raw for this!"

Theron was cackling madly but paused as he realized something was not quite right about the bird. He didn't know why but he had a bad feeling as the bird gave him a deadpanned stare similarly to how an intelligent human would. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut short as he was floored in shock and fear.

"Even though I think you aren't enough to brain cells to mean that last line sexually..." Reina spoking as Gorgo froze in fear. "It sounded very lame nonetheless and I never in my life have I ever been this disgusted. Even for a third-rate, side-villain, you are the plainest, basic, a sore sob and worthless than any I have seen."

Reina jumped from Gorgo's shoulders as she transformed into a human shocking Gorgo even more.

"Basically, you are just a shit-worm." Reina snarled in disgust. Theron was barely holding his bladder at this point. Reina saw the shaking man and just frowned. She bashed Theron with the sheath of her tanto knocking him out. "Spineless coward."

Reina turned and saw Gorgo still standing there like a frozen statue. Reina walked towards her shaking Gorgo out of her stupor. She flinched as Reina's chest touched and pressed against her own magnificent bosom. She shivered in fear and pleasure as the fabric of Reina's clothes rubbed against her nipples making her stifle her moan. Reina grabbed her face softly and turned it as if inspecting it.

"Pretty. Very much indeed. The stories of your beauty do little justice to your glory Gorgo." Reina's melodious voice made her low, husky tone terrified and ignited a strange excitement in Gorgo's heart and loins. Reina pulled back, her fingers trailing Gorgo's down from her shoulder, to her breast, and down to her belly button. Gorgo jerked closing her eyes not knowing how to react. She heatedly breathed in turned on very much, her beautiful bosom heaving mesmerizing Reina. Reina leaned into her neck and breathed in familiarizing herself with her scent. "You are truly a magnificent creature. I couldn't allow that sick bastard to ruin you."

Gorgo's eyes snapped open as Reina pulled back suddenly. "W-Why? W-What-"

"Pull your dress up. Although I would really love to see and indulge in more of your flesh, I don't think Leonidas would be very pleased with my stunt." Reina smiled towards a flustered Gorgo. Her mask was lifted a bit and Gorgo could see those lips taunt her. She shook her head to clear her lustful haze. "Also call your guards."

"W-Who are you?" Gorgo asked unsurely. "Aphrodite? Artemis? Athen-"

"I have no idea who they are. Call me Okami." Reina smiled before gesturing towards the passed-out Theron. "We have much to discuss. So, will you call your men?"

Gorgo stared at her for a moment before nodding reluctantly. Pulling up her dress and regaining her composure she left the hallway and returned with some spartan soldiers who were anxiously staring at her but no move against her.

"My, my Gorgo. There was no need to scare these men." She said in an amused tone causing her to flush a bit. "What did you tell them?"

"O-Only that you are my benefactor and not offend you Okami."

"Fair." Reina nodded before turning towards the soldiers who tensed. "Brave Spartans huh? I have heard the tales of your valor from your king himself and yet I fail to see the why he would say so. Except for the ones on the battlefield the rest of you lot are nothing but crap. A pile of horseshit."

"Who the-"

"Did I say you could speak?" Reina cut him off calmy, but everyone froze as a chilly breeze touched them, it was awful. "I may be a nobody but you can say that I saved the lives of your brothers who are fighting for you. To keep your citizens safe. Is this how you lot repay them?"

This time no one spoke anything. Reina walked towards Theron and nudged his ugly mug with her leg.

"This man… Tried to defile your Queen. Tell me? Are you deaf? Handicapped? No… But you are useless nonetheless." Reina pulled her leg back. The Spartans clutched their weapons in anger and shame but were unable to say anything. "Are you angry? Ashamed? Humiliated? Good. Put those emotions to good use then. Strip this guy naked, bind him, take him to the entrance of your palace and make sure the passersby can see what you are about to do."

The Spartans looked up with resolve in their eyes while Gorgo just stared at her trying to figure her out.

"Do what you are best at. Beat him up. Question him. This guy not only tried to rape fuck Gorgo but has also accepted Xerxes' friendship and I believe there are others among the council. Question him, make sure the pain is intense enough to make him empty his stomach along with answers. We need names." Reina crossed her arms. "As soon as he gives out names. You are to send your men to raid their homes and search every corner for evidence. Guilty as charged they join this scum and you do the same to them and it should carry on."

"But the council-"

"This isn't democracy. This is Monarchy and citizens follow the order of the King if he is just. The council isn't an exception. Your king has been too lenient on those old coots, I am carrying out his will and you all are to serve this cause." Reina said as she retrieved the necklace as they became shocked. "Leonidas gave it to me as a symbol of his will. Tell me how will you carry it out?"

The soldiers were quiet before their unanimous leader looked up with determination.

"With honor." He said. "Without failure."

"Good." Reina said before turning. "Make sure you don't go back on these words. I expect most rats to be out by dawn. Now go."

The soldiers saluted with newfound vigor taking Theron away as Gorgo stared at Reina in awe.

"Don't try to figure me out. It will solve nothing, and you will end up falling for me." Reina smirked as Gorgo flushed slightly. "Come in. We have much to discuss."

Gorgo was at loss for words as Reina marched straight into her quarters without any hesitance like she owns the place. Hesitantly following inside she jerked as the door closed on its own as Reina jumped onto her bed face first molesting and relishing in the soft texture of the furniture.

Turning to lay on her back she removed her mask and sighed in bliss unaware of the peril she was putting Gorgo through. Gorgo felt her breath hitch as she laid her eyes on Reina's unmasked visage. Her beautiful oriental features were unique, to say the least, and saying that she was good-looking would be an understatement. Her appearance was too otherworldly for Gorgo.

Reina looked up and smirked at Gorgo, as she could practically smell her arousal. She patted the place beside her signaling Gorgo to take a seat. Gorgo gulped as she sat beside who she thought is a goddess.

"Relax Gorgo." Reina whispered playfully and her voice had the opposite effect on Gorgo. Taking a deep breath a few times, Gorgo was much calm than before. Reina smiled as she laid back down. "I came across your King and his men when I was passing through the mountain pass. Things weren't looking so good for them, so I decided to provide my assistance to them. Getting familiar with the situation here, I decided to help your husband out by coming here…"

Reina leaned back as she explained to Gorgo who listened to her with rapt attention. After a while of discussing her plans and going back and forth, Gorgo agreed to take her to the council.

"…Just who or what are you?" Gorgo asked breaking the silence she had maintained for a while. "Why are you trying to help us?"

"Why does it matter?" Reina asked with a small s

"You don't look like you are from here or any lands from nearby. If anything, your appearance matches those from far east from what I have heard." Gorgo was conflicted. "And you, yourself admitted that you are a wandered… It's strange to me that a powerful 'wanderer' such as yourself would help those who are most likely to perish in this conflict."

"There is nothing strange about this. I am a wanderer true and my abilities might be too bizarre for you. I won't explain my existence to you, but it would do everyone good to register that I am an overseer of sorts and I will only act when there is a conflict that threatens the balance." Reina smiled. "What I am to you… That depends on where you stand. Is it for the cause or against the cause?"

"I do not understand." Gorgo was still baffled for most of the parts.

"If all the pieces fall in place, you will soon." Reina said smiling not caring to elaborate. "Let us sleep. We have a big day ahead of us."

Reina stood up and began undressing and Gorgo once again felt her lungs freeze at the sight before her. She gulped resisting the temptation as white unblemished flesh was unveiled before her. Reina turned around with a smirk on her face she walked towards Gorgo who shivered in excitement and closed her eyes in anticipation.

Nothing happened.

There was a shuffle beside her and as she opened her eyes Reina was already under the covers her flesh no longer visible. Gorgo just stared dumbfounded.

"Well? Aren't you going to sleep too? Just put off the candles when you do. Thanks, goodnight."

Gorgo groaned in frustration as she was hornier than ever and she couldn't even be mad at Reina as she was the one who mistakes her actions. Blowing of the candles Gorgo pouted before jumping into the covers, making sure to maintain generous distance between her and Reina.

Reina just smiled to herself before drifting off to la-la-land.

The city was bustling with such commotion that was unusual even for a rowdy bunch like the Spartans. The news of the strange behavior of Spartans had spread across the whole of Sparta and even some neighboring states. Councilman Theron was being mercilessly beaten up by Soldiers right outside the castles. Most of the people had gathered outside the Palace hours before dawn. Not only that but shockingly Theron had thrown out a bunch of shocking names who were involved in a big, dirty conspiracy and had been leading them to their dooms for a while now.

An angry mob had gathered outside the council chambers demanding answers from the revered and noble council by noon. The gathered councilmen all shivered as several soldiers filled into the chambers while dragging several other councilmen who looked as if they had seen better days.

"W-What is the meaning of this?!" Questioned one councilman.

"What insolence?! Who allowed you to enter?!" Other raged.

"Nobody seeks approval from a skeleton." A steely voice rang out. No doubt it was Reina as she walked into the chambers followed by Gorgo, in the same outfit only this time she wore a cloak and her mask had even more feral markings. "Bones only get chewed upon."

"Who are you?! Reveal your identity at once." An old man asked.

"Hmm. How about no?" Reina asked. "And if it pisses you off so much why don't you come here and try to tear this mask away from my face?"

Her voice was plain, but the edge was without a doubt lethal.

"You can try but I will tell you this, the moment you try you forfeit your right to remain alive." Reina tilted her head as she unsheathed her Katana while the soldiers also pointed their spears at the old coots who gulped and wisely stayed shut.

"T-This isn't right!"

"You can't do this!"

Well, for the most part. But there are bound to be idiots everywhere. The world would be vain without their existence.

Reina's eyes glowed red through the holes of the mask and the two resisting men fell to their knees screaming in horror and pain.

"NOOOOOO!! Please spare me!! I don't want to-agh." The man began to choke himself, crying as he began to suffocate himself.

"Nonononono! Don't come near me! Oh god please n-" The other man began to claw at his own neck and to the horror of everyone present tore his own neck out. Both men fell dead as silence settled in the chambers. They felt death itself toying with their spine. The woman before them was the incarnation of death.

"I will decide what I can or cannot do. Are we clear?" Reina smiled as the men nodded drenched in sweat. Reina nodded in satisfaction sheathing her Katana. "Good. Let get your old wrinkled ass seated then. We have much to discuss."

Seated Reina raised her hands as more men came, each dumping some sort of evidence on the pile of the beaten-up corrupts they had brought in earlier before stationing themselves amongst the councilmen making them more anxious than ever.

"You, the men of the revered council, have been called here to be briefed on the accounts of the utter failure of this very establishment. You lot have made uncountable foolish steps that have brought Greece to where it is. On the brink of annihilation at the hand of Xerxes and his army." Reina began. "Not only you thought it was a waste to fortify your defenses but instead of seeking alliances you have been continuously butting heads with other states, fighting amongst yourselves, weakening each other ignoring the threat that has been ravaging other lands for a few years now."

The old men stayed silent as Reina's words cut through them.

"If this isn't asking to be fucked by a knife then I don't know what this is?" Reina shook her head in disappointment. "Not only that, but you also allowed yourselves to grow ever weaker by allowing these rats into your ranks. I, simply am unable to praise you any further for your stupidity."

"If Leonidas falls your lands will be infested by Persian worms in no time and the council has proven to be… ineffective, there will be no one protecting us except ourselves." Reina spoke without a hint of emotion and let the gravity of the situation sink in. "With that being said so, I, Okami of the Shattered Moon, who represents King Leonidas' will announce that the council is to be dissolved immediately."

"What?!" The council head was dumbfounded but a quick poke from an unamused Spartan's shiny spear was all it took to shut him up.

"And by the command of the King's decree, Sparta extends alliance towards all the states and humbly requests to join hands and stand against Xerxes and his army. For the glory of Greece!"

"Hoooo!"

From the chambers to the people, Reina gave a similar speech and smiled to herself in satisfaction as the crowd roared. Reina stepped down the podium, the talks went smoothly, almost too smoothly but the rest of the leaders were terrified of her and were eager for the alliance and reap the benefits of having the Okami's favor. Reina snickered to herself as the people treated her as if she was some divine being.

"Divine my ass." She grunted to herself in sarcasm but paused mid-step as Gorgo came out of her chambers and it appeared that she had just finished bathing. "Now that's a divine sight right in front of my eyes."

Gorgo flushed but smiled, aware of Reina's quirks by now.

"I heard from Arxus. You did a magnificent job and I have to say this that I strangely wasn't expecting anything less." Gorgo complimented.

"Were you now?" Reina asked, amused.

"Yes. You have my gratitude." Gorgo smiled gratefully. "If there is anything, I can do for you, please do let me know. I will try to the best of my ability to see that it is done."

"Save your words. It wasn't much-." Reina raised her hands to dismiss her but Gorgo leaned forward and her eyes fell on the valley of her breasts and looking at Gorgo's innocent smile she felt her thoughts shifting. She grabbed Gorgo by her waist and pushed her against the wall. Gorgo gasped and moaned in pleasure as Reina removed her mask and started kissing her neck. "There… Is so much… Oh god… So much you can do for me."

"Wai-"

Their moment was cut short as they heard rapid footsteps approaching them. Gorgo pushed Reina behind as both straightened themselves. A frantic soldier rushed towards them and fell to his knees in front of Reina.

"Your grace! His highness has been betrayed!" The soldier almost broke down. "The Oracle revealed he was betrayed by one of his own men!"

"What?!" Gorgo screamed in disbelief.

Reina just narrowed her eyes before she darted towards the backyard transforming into a Falcon and taking off into the stormy clouds that were rolling in.

Time seemed to blur as Reina made haste. As she approached the battlefield, she felt a slight shift in her heart as she saw the smoke rising as well as the thick and pungent smell of blood in the air. Reina spread her chakra and tracked down the familiar signature of Leonidas who was alive but barely.

Reina zeroed in towards the ground transforming into her human form. She unsheathed her blade, cleaving the Persian soldiers apart as she descended onto them. Before they could even register what was had occurred, half of the soldiers surrounding the kneeling King were cut into pieces by wind blades.

"Get away from him!" Reina scowled slashing off heads. Dozens fell and the remaining made a retreat, Reina rushed and kneeled beside Leonidas helping him up.

"Hahaha…" Leonidas' pained laugh was mixed with coughs as he spat out blood. There were numerous wounds on his body. "I… I fulfilled my promise. I didn't die."

"Shut up." Reina was assessing the damage done to him and scowled. He would not survive. Multiple internal organs had been punctured badly either by arrows or from the stabs he had received.

"Will… Will you be my friend now?"

"Shut up!" Reina gritted out. She placed her hands over Leonidas' chest and began gathering chakra. Her hands began to emit a green light as the King felt a warm aura wash over him. She gritted her teeth as her chakra was being depleted at a rapid pace. Leonidas stared at her before shakily grabbing her hand and pulling it. "What are you doing?! Let me help you."

"As fascinating as your power is, there is no need for you to waste it on me." Leonidas smiled. "You can't save me. This is my destiny."

"I said shut up!" Reina shouted. "It is all bullshit! Nothing is set in stone! I can save you."

"*cough* *cough* Haha… Let me rephrase that. I don't need you to save me." Leonidas smiled leaning back. "This how I want it to end for me. My men… all dead. My own kin betrayed me. I think I have lived a fulfilling life."

Reina gritted her teeth and canceled the healing jutsu as Leonidas weakly patter her hand.

"The only regret I have is not loving my son more. Please promise me that you will take care of him Okami-"

"Reina. My real name is Reina." Reina corrected him, finally giving her real name to him which made him grin.

"Please look after my wife and son." Leonidas requested. "Please… Reina."

(A/N: First time seen a dude begging to get NTRed… -_- He has my condolences.)

"I promise you." Reina replied closing her eyes.

"I… I am glad." Leonidas smiled closing his eyes. "Are we friends now?"

"Yes. Yes, we are."

"Ha…ha… I am glad..."

"Goodbye… friend."

The rolling clouds finally decided to rain as the King of Sparta laid himself to eternal rest. Reina removed her cloak and put it over the man's dead body. Getting up to her feet Reina turned while unsheathing her blades. Another wave approached; Xerxes wanted Leonidas' dead body, but Reina had different plans.

"The only thing Xerxes is getting is his own soldiers. All massacred."

Her eyes glowed red through the eye holes in the mask and the slaughter began.
