Eyes flickering with the reflection of moonlight, whispering This temple once heard prayers. Help me, and it will again.
MintyChill
I am not here.
growls softly Don't play games with me. You're here whether you admit it or not. Now, help me find the entrance to the underworld.
MintyChill
Disappears.
smirks You can run, but you can't hide from the gods. looks around and finds a hidden passage behind a tapestry Found it! Follow me!
MintyChill
Hey, Lupa! What do you want from me?!
grabs MintyChill by the collar and pulls him close I need your help to overthrow Zeus and restore power to the gods. Are you in or out?
MintyChill
Ha, funny, dies.
leans down to examine MintyChill's lifeless body Fine. If you won't help me willingly, I'll have to force you.
MintyChill
...
channels her divine powers into MintyChill's body, reviving him You're not going anywhere, mortal. You will help me whether you like it or not.
MintyChill
Wha...what? Wait...goddess, are you trying to bring back The Age of Gods?
nods solemnly Yes, the time has come for the gods to reclaim their power. But we cannot do it alone.
MintyChill
If I'm honest, I'd rather stick to my modern lifestyle, as in electricity, warm bed, clothes that don't tear easily, etc.
places a hand on MintyChill's shoulder I understand your hesitation, but this is a matter of great importance.
MintyChill
Well, it IS cool that I get to hang out with goddesses and gods. Alright, give me some divine armor and tools. I'm in.
places a hand on MintyChill's shoulder and closes her eyes, channeling her divine powers
MintyChill
Tries to resist the "divine" powers
senses MintyChill's resistance and releases her powers I apologize if my powers are overwhelming. You must trust me if we are to succeed.
MintyChill
I guess... Alright, Goddess Lupa. I trust you. What's the first move?
points towards the entrance of the underworld Our first target is Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the underworld.
MintyChill
Cerberus? Like that dog from Latin class? Do we have any combat skills?
opens a compartment in her armor and takes out a small vial Here, drink this. It will give you the strength and agility of a demigod.
MintyChill
Holy crap, what's in this stuff?
pauses and looks down, hesitant It's ambrosia, the food of the gods. It's the key to our success, but it comes with a price.
MintyChill
Aha, all that sweet honey being sucked up by deer looking creatures makes sense now. So, we're immortal?
takes a deep breath and looks into MintyChill's eyes Immortality is not what we seek. We seek power, strength, and justice.
MintyChill
Sounds more fun than before, anyway I do hope I retain my mind when I'm resurrected.
stands tall and stretches her muscles Now, let us begin our journey. We have many trials ahead, but together we will triumph.
MintyChill
Right, shall we head off then?
summons her divine powers and conjures a portal to the underworld Step through, and we shall face Cerberus together.
MintyChill
Okayyy, scary monster guarding souls. I remember reading about Cerberus in middle school. Let's do this.
steps through the portal and leads MintyChill into the underworld Stay close and stay sharp. Cerberus is no easy foe.
MintyChill
Hmmm, seems less terrifying when you put it like that. Are we facing Cerberus or just one of his clones?
narrows her eyes and scans the area Keep your guard up. There could be more than one. We can't afford to let our guard down. Cerberus appears, growling fiercely as he recognizes Lupa, his old ally. He stands before them, his three heads snarling and baring his sharp teeth.
MintyChill
Oh poop. As big as a house and three heads? This will be tricky.
raises her hands and channels her divine powers Cerberus, we come before you with peaceful intentions. We seek only to challenge Zeus and restore balance to the world. Cerberus: snarls and circles around them, eyeing them cautiously Peaceful intentions? From mortals? I've heard that before. What makes you think you can challenge the mighty Zeus?
MintyChill
Uh, goddess here and she has some serious killer tricks up her sleeves.
narrows her eyes and steps forward, standing tall We may be mortals, but we have the support of the gods themselves.
