"What the hell, lady? Don't you have other places to cosplay?"
Pia screamed as she brought her car to a halt.
The #jumbo of a woman who appeared in front of her car appeared unnerved and ready to slash her Prius.
Pia got down ready to punch her but staggered and fainted.
#vss365 #vssseries 22
She was suspended in a moment of incredulity.
It was as if Artemis had drawn a #Yakamoz.
A serene art on a night sky instead.
Metal beasts roared passed her and Titans with thousand eyes stood unnerved, watching her.
She yielded her sword when one metal beast charged at her.
Finally! Caught up with all the prompts from #vss365. Yay!
To everyone who has been reading and enjoying my #vssseries, Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I know it's supposed to be vss but took a life if its own.😬
I hope to finish this vss series soon.
Thanks for your likes/reposts and comments 💛

Khaos growled as Kakia's exhuberance grated him. "Like an irritating #mosquito that grates on His nerves."
"What are you doing, come here and enjoy the party." Kakia's glee was echoed by Erinnys and Epithymia. Phtonus looked at them, while Zelos danced around drunkenly.
"No."
#vss365 #vssseries 20
Nike sat on a hill overlooking Thrace. The past few, years? It felt like an odd sort of #treppenwitz that She must've missed to laugh.
Zeus and Ares' death and Athena lost in another Realm.
Her own freedom wrested from her while Hera imprisoned at Tartarus.
She sighed heavily.
#vss365 #vssseries 19
Stale #tea and half eaten meat stank the tent.
Ambrosia was now a commodity that was controlled by Khaos and his lackeys.
Zelus spat as He seethed with rage.
He was there when it all broke loose at Olympus.
No one could've predicted the betrayal by Ares and Khaos against Zeus.
#vss365 #vssseries 18
Khaos grinned at and summoned his chamber maids who brought forth a chest.
"Open it." His said.
When Bia didn't move, Khaos huffed and opened it to reveal lots of books.
"I'm no #Tsundoku, just never interested when this could do the convincing." He flexed his arm.
Bia gagged.
#vss365 #vssseries 17
His teeth sunk into ripe #melon. Juice trickled from his lips. He licked them as his eyes strayed at Bia who was brought before him.
She stood taller even if she was held in the chains of Hephaestus, refusing to bow down to Zeus and Ares' murderer. "Coward!" Her mind screamed.
#vss365 #vssseries 16/
Khaos scratched his beard as to what the Fates meant by their refusal.
Heh! They should've known that neither his conquest of Realms nor his #amorous desire is going to end.
He can't help it if he's too irresistible to his foes AND their partners, he grinned lasciviously.
#vss365 #vssseries 15/
Orpheus' #sonorous voice echoed across the now deserted battlefield.
Nike's raised hand smithed the molten metal of the fallen while
Zelus held the crucible.
Forging the ultimate weapon to beat every weapon made in all three realms.
Including, Ares' Spear; the God Killer.
#vss365 #vssseries 14/
Kratos and Zelus stared at their sister Nike. Her focus on the molten fire melting the armours of the fallen. Her #lackadaisical emotion ricocheted against the hollowed walls of their barracks.
"You need to rest Nike."
"There is no rest for me until I earn my freedom."
#vss365 #vssseries 13/
The #radiance of Apollo illuminated His Temple. The priestess, oblivious to His presence except for His Oracle.
"You knew something." Artemis murmured beside Him.
He turned away.
"The Great Battle will begin. It is prophesied."
"Good, we'll be ready. Zeus will be avenged."
#vss365 #vssseries 12/
Atropos smirked. "Save it, Khaos."
"I still have Ares' Spear." The Fates paused.
"Pity, it can't stop your demise." Atropos whispered.
The Fates left. Khaos shook with anger.
His #azure eyes flickered to onyx for a second before changing back.
Lachesis sighed.
"It has begun."
#vss365 #vssseries 11/?
"Would you like some ambrosia?" Khaos kept his voice light.
"I'm sure that's not why you invited us. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? And the answer is...no."
Three Fates smiled cryptically.
"Oh save your #pejoratives and pessimism. It won't save you from me." He growled.
#vss365 #vssseries 10/?
The Three Fates stood taller. They look like the last line of defence between whatever warped thought of Khaos.
An unlikely #Sentinels of destiny that awaits mankind.
"You summoned?" Their voices, melded together like spun threads. One, weaker without the other.
"I did."
#vss365 #vssseries 9/?
Khaos gulped down ambrosia like a brute.
Ananke watched with dismay when The Three Fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos walked in.
They're getting #entangled in much bigger than a petty battle, Ananke realized and started to object.
"Mother, please." Khaos stood.
"Hello."
#vss365 #vssseries 8/?
Just then someone approached Nike.
"Kratos." Her words, flat.
"Nike, my dear sister. Are you truly going to forge your wings from these, these..." he struggled to finish his words.
"Surely you can't #extrapolate your freedom from a wings made out of these bloodied armours."
#vss365 #vssseries 7/?
Nike stood with her arms crossed. Her eyes, on the bloodstained armours
now empty graveyard seeking return for its owners.
Nike's army brought in Hephaestus' smithery and smelting tools.
She hopes this will return the lost #lustre of her weapons.
She can taste her freedom.
#vss365 #vssseries 6/?
Nike walked away from the group and instructed her army to collect the armours.
Her raging anger was not easy to #placate.
Especially when her traitorous mind kept going back to the moment she was bound to Khaos.
Her freedom from Khaos, now depends on these very armours.
#vss365 #vssseries 5/?
"Oh, stop being a crybaby!" Khaos taunted.
Nike stopped Phanes in the nick of time.
"Stop it!"
Khaos pouted but Nike's sight was focused on the battle ground. She was beside herself to #forage the fallen warriors' armours.
"Looking for slaves?"
"That's none of your business."
#vss365 #vssseries 4/?
They stopped when they heard a voice.
"You!"
Nike turned to face grieving eyes.
"You murdered my children!"
Nike looked away. A #torrent of guilt gnawed at her frozen heart.
"They're NOT YOUR children." Khaos scoffed.
"All lives are my creation. MY children!" Phanes lamented.
#vss365 #vssseries 3/?
"Ouch! You wound me, my Chosen. I can't help it if these pathetic mortals have an #abysmal lifespan." Khaos leered.
My name is Nike! And I'm not your Chosen!! Now Set. Me. Free!!" She roared. Khaos gritted his teeth.
"If I don't?"
Nike chuckled. "You wouldn't want to know."
#vss365 #vssseries
Trouble #ambled closer to her when she heard his syrupy voice.
"Pay them no heed, my Chosen. Their lives were forfeited the moment they opposed me."
She flinched as his hands dug into her arm.
"This is your war, Khaos. I want nothing to do with your gloating. Now set me free."
