Wouldn't you like to use more than words?

The last thing you recall is likely your own death. Whether it was fast or slow, it's over now. And you're... where are you?

One moment, you were among the living. The next - you may be one of the unfortunate ones who actually died. In which case, you've found yourself flowing in the lazy rivers of the river Styx, unfathomably deep underground. Just for a moment, mind you. It's not long before your consciousness is yanked from the waters by some scary monsters, shoved into a healed body, and pushed through a portal.

Or, maybe you were caught red-handed and sentenced to your doom. But, instead of a proper death, you were whisked down into the Veins of Tartarus. And there's really only one place that could lead to... Or is it?


You've been tossed down here by the will of the Titan, but what you find is A helping hand swooping you up - possibly literally, and potentially out of the grasp of the Titan himself.

Not a moment after, you're whisked through another rift, this one a shimmering gold. Into a realm of slightly more stable platforms and a lot more shit to look through. The area is practically littered with the ill-gotten goods of a thieving God (who is happy to note via pop-up illusion that you are touching his stuff). Here, however, you are safe; assured that Typhon cannot find or hurt you here.

For the moment, you can breathe before the next part comes.

[ his eyes widen at that, excited]

... and what next? Surely we can not simply... wait here? Gather each of us when we die and hide until Athena returns? There must be a counter move we can make on our end-

You're right. That's a terrible idea. [She's already thinking. Tapping her foot quickly.]

...We might have to reconvene after whatever happens in this trial. I'd like to pick your brains a bit - all of you - about potentially striking back at Typhon ourselves.

Striking back... Well, you have my spear- once we have a real plan.

Fantastic. I've fought him before, and I can do it again.

You've fought him? Other than when you saved Omega?

That's right!

[She strikes an heroic pose - oh god, she's reminiscing.]

As foretold by the Titan of foresight, Prometheus. When Typhon broke free of his bonds and enslaved the Golden Isles, I - a simple story-teller - would wash ashore and rescue not only everyone turned to stone, but the gods Typhon had stolen their essence from.

[...She turns sheepish.]

I also may have been the one who decided we should re-imprison Typhon after we beat him.
