Come Home

"Save," Asher said as he is panting while running away from Ares. "Are you okay there Anna?" He asked as Anna nodded. "Good, Now let's go to Athena," he said but Anna looked back as she saw Artemis fighting Ares.

"But Artemis cannot defeat him! She might die!" Anna said as Asher didn't listen. "If you don't tame Athena then there will be no chance for us to defeat Ares, Athena is the only Goddess who can stand with Ares," Asher explained.

"What about Artemis?!" She asked as Asher keeps on running. "Artemis is buying us time in order to reach Athena's place." Anna didn't look too good too knowing that she is dying inside.

"Will she hear me out?" she asked as Asher stopped running and put her down. "Did you just doubt yourself?" Asher asked as Anna didn't respond at all knowing that Asher is right and she is having doubt about her skills.

"It's just because I'm just a normal human being, I don't have a mere power if it wasn't because of you God's and Goddesses, I never even thought about belonging here since it is not my place at all."

"Then let's just stop and let LUKE live like this." Anna looked at Asher and by the tone of his voice, he is disappointed towards Anna's action.

"I want to go back," Anna said as she knew that it was the right thing to do.

"What are you talking about Anna?! You never thought about this stuff! What did they do to you?" He asked as Anna smiled.

"Ares talked to me," she said. "What do you mean? Ares never speak during the fight!"

"He did, Through my mind he did." She said.

"What did he say?" Asher asked as he stopped when Anna's tears fell as the twins felt the pain inside them.

'Asher what are you doing?!' Atticus said as Asher didn't know what to do at all.

"He said that what I'm doing is not saving the LUKE, I'm destroying LUKE," Anna said as she looks at her bleeding hands since she got it when she was fighting with Ares as she stumbles down.

'I can't even heal my own self now I've been thinking on saving LUKE!' she said to herself.

"Anna," Asher called as he touched her chin and give her a kiss.

"Asher," Anna said and left her speechless since the twins don't usually make a move on her.

"If you wish to think more we can grant you that one wish where you will return to the human world," Asher said.

"And it's up to you if you'll return back here or stay from where you should be," Asher added.

'Asher what are you doing?!' Atticus asked.

'I'm making a path for her to ease up her pain.' Asher explained as she smiled at her. 'She's dying, Even if she didn't tell us anything about the fact that she is our wife we knew that this kind of thing would happen.'

Atticus looked at Anna in Asher's view, She is crying like she really wanna go back home.

'We forced her on her limits, Now it is up to us.' Atticus said as the twins agreed on bringing Anna back and let her decide on her own.

"Hmmm, They are Zeus particles," Zagreus said as Apollo looks at him. "You said that they might make out!" Zagreus smirked at Apollo.

"I said the word 'MIGHT' I didn't say that they 'WILL' make out," he added. "Anyways the twins choose to bring her back in the human world for her to think more about what path should that girl take." Zagreus smiled seeing Anna unconscious in the human world.

"It's either she'll save LUKE or lose faith and force the Greatest God out of her body." He added. "But didn't you say that Anna is the new God?" he asked as Zagreus nodded.

"I did say that but if the glory of the Greatest God is not within her body she might end up losing the throne herself," Zagreus explained as Apollo looked worried about it.

"The Twins and Artemis take their leave and hide from the forest, They might resume the fight when Anna finally decides." He added as Apollo sigh.

"Besides it's not her body who is dying, It's her soul," Zagreus said as he looks at the reports as Anna's document change into an unknown creature.

"And as a God, we don't know what will happen to her since she's the only person who can change her own future." Apollo agreed with him as Anna went back to the human world and found herself sleeping in the woods as an old lady found her and take her in.

"The Emerald Kingdom is now open but yet the God's didn't yet get completed in the banquet," Apollo said as Zagreus nodded as they watch Anna being saved on that rainy day.

"Why did you let her go?" Artemis asked the twins as Atticus looked down and the skies in the human world are crying. "We need to, Her taking herself too far from what her soul could handle," Asher said as Artemis looked shocked hearing that from them.

"Wait, You knew?" she asked as they nodded. "Of course we knew, She's our wife after all and we've been in pain along with her since we have a bond," Atticus said as Artemis get it already.

"But we cannot open that Emerald Palace if she's not here in the first place, And you know that if she went back to the human world her memories here won't be restored right?" the Twins knew that in the first place but it leaves them no choice but to bring her home to heal.

It's not a disease that a God could handle or heal but only her environment could heal her soul as a human being since she is born there. They knew that in the first place ever since she got that Frozen Voice Box.

"If you thought about it then why didn't you bring her back in the first place?" Artemis asked again.

"She was so determined," Atticus said. "But Ares hit her head hard by talking to her about the truth that made her lose her faith to continue fighting." He added as Artemis felt the pain the Twins is having.

"She looked devastated and want to forget about everything as her soul is disappearing and that leaves us no choice but to let her go." Asher continued as Artemis get their point. "But the presence of the Greatest God is still inside her body," Artemis said as the Presence of the Greatest God is gone in LUKE as the God's and Goddesses felt it.

"What happened Poseidon?" Aphrodite asked.

"The Greatest God, Its presence disappear," Poseidon said as he looked at Aphrodite. "I need to go check on Zagreus!" He explained but Apate stopped him. "You can't go to him, He'll not bother taking you in," she said as Poseidon looked at her and sigh.

"Then what do you think will I do about this situation??! Zeus is waiting for me!" Poseidon said as Aphrodite sigh and touched Poseidon's shoulder.

"This is the God's conflict we should never interrupt their cases," she said as Poseidon went back to the human world.

"He is sometimes hard to please, Do you think he'll just keep quiet in the corner?" Apate asked as Aphrodite smiled. "His bond with Zeus is different from the bond of the other God's, He really cares about him so I will not expect anything from him being quiet the whole time." She said as she sat down on her throne.

"And I will not expect you to be Good the whole time," she added as Apate smirked because she knows what kind of attitude she has.

"I see your not that blind are you?" she asked as Aphrodite smiled. "I am wiser than you thought and I will not let you meddle with Poseidon's plan," she said as Apate disappear.

'I hope Poseidon won't interrupt the human system just to find the Greatest God." she said to herself as she looks at her window outside the LUKE as dark and red clouds start to emerge.

"LUKE is about to destroy," One of her servants said as Aphrodite knew it to herself that LUKE is slowly dying and the only way to save it is to bring Zeus back with the Greatest God's grace.

"Aphrodite," Aphrodite look at Ares as he was bleeding badly. "Get the healer!" she commands as she looks at Ares who is now unconscious.

"This is Athena's bow," she said to herself as it is pinned on Ares's body which has poison and would bring a God's body to a huge pain.

"Why would you do this Ares!" she said as the healer came and immediately heal Ares's wound. "My lady, Ares wounds are not healing at all, We need Apollo to come over in order to-"

"I cannot go and beg him to save Ares!" Aphrodite said as she is not pleading with other God to save her friend.

"No need I'm already here," Apollo said as he touched Ares's wound as it healed immediately.

"What brings you here?" Aphrodite asked.

"Hello!" Zagreus greeted as he waves his hello to Aphrodite. "What the heck are you here for?!" She asked again since she is not used to the presence of the other God's near her. "I felt that Ares is dying and we can't lose a God knowing that LUKE is already in danger," Zagreus said as he smiled at Aphrodite.

"You know that to yourself don't you?" he asked.

"That your the reason why Anna's soul is dying..." He added that left Aphrodite in shocked.
