Minerva Havoc

In a dense dark woods there were trees that were tall enough to touch the skies but the soil still looked filled with nutrients however they all surrounded a big clearing where there was a big mansion that looked well kept but inside it was incredibly dark 20 men with unique wrist watches dressed in white and purple robes steadily approached. "Let's go over this one more time before you idiots get killed the woman or thing we're apprehending is not to be trusted when I start the peaceful approach keep your eyes shut unless you have the balls to confront hell itself" A man said his hair was white long ago from whatever extreme experience he went through with 7 scars face down to his neck and unlike the others his robe had worn out color it's color with a few tears through it. The men in his command crossed they're hearts to follow his order as he walked up to the house he heard the whispers of the spirits warning him not to approach for his safety which he forced himself to ignore since they were louder and far less malicious than usual when confronting the criminals of the supernatural world.

He reached for the handle but the door was opened by 2 woman in a maid outfits they're pupils were wider than normal and there were bags under the eyes they're outfits were ripped up. The man could tell they were barely alive so he continued with his plan "hello is Minerva in the house by any chance" he asked, the 2 looked at each other before looking back with light smiles "of course Darius she's been waiting to meet you specifically however she is confused on why you'd bring extra people who's spirit's aren't strong enough to get past this point" they said simultaneously with creepy echoed voices which would rattle anyone from going forward however the man just scoffed "let's cut the act I'm sick of playing along with the disgusting roleplay using innocent people you didn't even wait before taking they're original eyes!" He shouted at them and in an instant the 2 started laughing as the darkness of the mansion disappeared revealing a room of bones made into picture frames that had a pictures of a little girl and a teenage girl side by side doing various things together from light hearted to dark and twisted. The 2 stopped laughing wiping they eyes "you know what since you made me have a good laugh I'll let them go after all we used to be good friends" Minerva said before they dropped and a hallway lit up to another room Darius looked back seeing 4 of his men collapsed trembling in fear "hm I should have been more specific don't even have a small glimpse of her antics her aura really is that toxic but it's safe to open your eyes now 2 of you take the girls and take the fools with you " he ordered before his watch lit up as 2 obsidian brask knuckles appeared attached to him as he walked down the hall seeing different eyes from common to rare to ones that looked mystical all in tubes filled with the liquid to preserve them and at the end of the hall there she was laying on a couch with a half eaten sandwich and 2 cups filled with warm tea. She had dark green eyes with black star pupils her hair was dark purple hair and a pale complexion dressed in a black and green plated dress with a belt with small pouches with 2 green wrist bands and looked pretty athletic."Ah I've been wondering how many lives I'd have to fuck up before you showed yourself 23 was not the kill count I was looking for so you could get the clues" she said picking up her sandwich and eating the rest while Darius walked up to her until he was looking down on her "this is not a game you used to be a star of hope to cleanse the entire world of evil yet you've become a black hole threatening to rip apart the peaceful era we fought for" he said coldly as Minerva finished up before her wrist bands glowed "Looks can be deceiving lesson 1 of hunting corrupted or evil spirits and other supernatural phenomenon your allies are not immune from being enemies everyone who works in this profession is vulnerable up to a certain level" she said as her wrist released 2 slightly big battle fans Darius backed up with his fist raised "I just showed you the last ounce of respect I had for you so be ready cause I won't be holding any punches" he warned blitzing forward as Minerva got up opening her right fan and blocked the attack but her arm immediately snapped as she crashed through the wall onto the ground leaving her in shock.

Minerva picked herself back up making eye contact with Darius before swinging her fan as the powerful gust of wind slammed into him launching outside where on the outskirts of the treeline there was his group being heald outside by 40 other people under Minerva's control. He flipped and sticked his landing as Minerva landed in front of him he saw the chaos but and couldn't help but ask "how the hell can you control this many people you should have lost your mind a long time ago".

Minerva scratched her head giving him a confused look before her eyes widened in realization "oh! You see that's another lie I had to limit myself so I could put the illusion that you had a chance because my evil isn't powered by a outside force" she explained before pointing directly at his heart "my own power is just that terrifying so you'll have no choice but to kill me but how will you do that to an immortal a true immortal".

"Tsk It seems I became less focused because of old times " he said angrily before trying to disengage and help his men as he hadn't gone deaf having a conversation with Minerva due to the lack of bones being broken or the sound of blood splatter he knew she was playing with his group who her no doubt about to have heart attacks as her presence had spread through out the entire forest making the whole area her domain. But of course Minerva was already ahead of him as he saw the horrific scene of his men having they're eyes ripped out stopping him in his tracks "that's right there is what overconfidence cost you Darius" Minerva said appearing Infront of him and gripping his arm "your first mistake was walking into the forest with a ton of weaklings there's a reason it looked so filled with plant life" she snapped his arm breaking his bone in half making him scream and fall to his knees before she gripped the other "your other mistake was thinking that it was an ordinary mansion believe it or not I actually have spirit contracts it's just that most don't have the balls to approach me but I did get some that sent your men outside so fast you didn't notice " she explained as she broke his arm again but slowly as she was talking. "Last but not least you didn't think I was holding back and thought I was still weak I gave you clue but you must've thought they were hieroglyphs I even made the last person I disposed of strong enough to give you those scars must've ripped in your head to hard hahaha" she continued before pulling her arm way back with her left fan opened with a blank expression "but don't worry I won't take your eyes because I actually enjoyed living in that lie" she admitted before slicing his head and eyes in half as his body dropped time slowed down.

She got up and let out a sigh "so I did it a whole second life of lies though I will hate having to leave my sister can I at least leave a parting gift" she asked but the god stayed silent and smack her into the portal "I guess any heathen could be considered he better be knowing what he's doing" It said before disappearing.
