----------------------------------------
In the forest clearing, the Artemis Familia's camp bubbled with activity as the sun began to set. Artemis, with her shimmering blue hair uhe twilight light, oversaw the preparations with a watchful eye. She watched her daughters getting ready to tihe journey.
Laren, the level 2 swordswoman, was adjusting her ons and equipment. She occasionally exged gnces with Artemis, seeking approval uidance.
Julia and Elza, Karen and Miri, were also making their preparations as the camp was being dismantled. Just as everything was set for them to leave, something happened.
As the Artemis Familia was ready to start their journey again through the forest, a sudden distortion in the air drew everyone's attention. With a dull fsh and a faint buzz, Lucius and Riveria emerged out of nowhere, materializing in the middle of the camp through a teleport. The sudden appearance caused a brief moment of panid surprise among the family members, who quickly grabbed their ons. Artemis, quickly regaining posure, instinctively raised her bow, aiming at the intruders.
"Who are you? How did you get here?" Artemis demanded, keeping her bow poi Lucius.
Lucius raised his hands in a sign of peace. "We're not here to fight," he said calmly. "My name is Lucius Drakenar from the Hestia family, and this is Riveria, from the Loki family. We o talk to you about something very important."
"Hestia? Loki?" Artemis looked strangely, she knows Hestia as one of her precious friends, but thought it strange for an adventurer from Hestia's family to be with Loki's family, as she knew well the quarrels betweewo.
"Riveria-Sama?" Elza murmured, as an elf from the Artemis family, she knew Riveria very well, since all elves kheir princess well.
Riveria, standio Lucius, added in a serene voice, "Sorry to approach like this, but we don't have much time. It's about a threat that could put all of us in danger, including Artemis herself."
Artemis, still cautious, slowly lowered her bow. "A threat? What are you talking about?"
"The mission you took to find an a and specifister has abilities that alter the world's ba absorb a deity." Lucius expined directly.
"What?! Is that true?" Artemis couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yes, besides it being able to exterminate all of you, you won't even have a ce to return to heaven," Lucius said.
"If you don't believe me, take this paper, this is an order from Ouranos for you to abandon the mission immediately." Lucius handed a paper to Artemis with a gesture from his teleport.
"..." Artemis read the sheet in silend looked at Lucius with flicted eyes.
"This is really an official paper... So after so long on this mission, we should just abandon it?" Artemis spoke with a frustrated tone.
Miri, the dwarf, grunted in agreement, while Julia and Elza exged worried gnces.
"Then, what should we do? Abandon the mission?" asked Laren, clearly ed for the safety of her goddess.
"So much time wasted..." Karen ented, sharing the frustration of her goddess.
"..." Artemis silently looked at her disheartened daughters and then turned back to Lucius. "We will tihe mission, now that we are close and have finally found the ruins of Antares, let's move forward!"
"What?!" Both Lucius and Riveria couldn't believe what they heard.
"You heard, we will tihe mission." Artemis spoke firmly while holding her bow, gripping it tightly.
"Artemis-Sama, you 't be serious..." Riveria murmured.
"Yes, we will tinue forward."
"This means that if Antares absorb you, as a goddess, he would bee an untrolble threat, not just to us, but to the entire world," Lucius expined in disbelief at what the goddess inteo do.
"I ot simply abandon this mission. I uand the risks, but I also know the importance of what we are trying to aplish here," Artemis affirmed with vi. "We ot let fear stop us from ag."
'What is this? Am I dealing with a child?' Lucius murmured internally. He found Artemis's behavior quite childish, something he did not expect from the goddess.
Riveria tried tue, her expression showing a mix of and respect. "Artemis, we uand your itment, but fag Antares is not like any other mission. The risk is immense, not only for you but for everyone. You have to uand this!"
"I am aware of the risks, Princess Riveria," Artemis responded, "but my family and I are ners to danger. We have trained and prepared for difficult situations. We ot back down now."
"Sorry Artemis, but I ot agree with this," Lucius said as he walked forward, knowing she wouldn't uand the real danger and that Artemis would soon fall to Antares, he o act.
His steps alerted the family oher side, who immediately took up bat positions.
"Lucius, what do you io do...?" Riveria asked a bit worried.
"You might be a son of Hestia, but that won't stop me from attag you if necessary," Artemis said, pointing her bow at Lucius.
"I uand..." Lucius simply teleported into the middle of the family, and before Artemis and the others could react, they were enveloped by blue spheres with time magic symbols.
All the members froze, except one. "What are you doing?!" Artemis, immuo time magic but still trapped, banged on the sphere trying to get out and shouted at Lucius.
"I don't care if you are angry, I won't listen to a spoiled woman," Lucius spoke disdainfully.
"Get me out of here now!" Artemis demanded, but Lucius didn't care about her demands.
"Lucius... are you sure about this, Artemis is still a goddess," Riveria asked, a bit ed.
"Her stubbornness put everyone in danger, so I don't care what she thinks about how this will be perceived ter, I'll deal with the sequences. Now we must go to the ruins, we will fatares, just me and you," Lucius said, and Riveria agreed with him after a bit of reluce.
---
Lucius and Riveria, after ensuring Artemis and her family were temporarily safe, proceeded towards the ruins. The forest around them seemed to grow denser and darker, as if nature itself was aware of the impending danger.
"Lucius, how are we going to deal with Antares? Do you have a pn?" Riveria asked, staying alert for any suspiovements in the forest.
"Yes, but we'll o be extremely careful," Lucius replied. "Antares is an a, powerful, and uable creature. The first thing is to locate where he is sealed, we'll ehe ruins. I'll use a cirvoyance spell and we'll find him easily." Lucius emitted a light showing the way to the location.
Riveria nodded. "Uood. And about the fight? How we face him without the help of Artemis and her family?"
"We'll have to rely on our abilities. I don't want to belittle the Artemis family, but they are quite a weak family, I am a level 3 and you a level 6, we handle him and any other creature in these ruins. Yical power, bined with my ability to manipute time and space, may give us an advantage. My main is preventing him from abs ay. If that happens, the situation will bee untrolble."
"He is sealed here, isn't he?" Riveria spoke.
"Yes, but I spoke with Ouranos to end it, even if we have to awaken him, he is too great a dao the world," Lucius said, and Riveria nodded.
Arriving at the ruins following the path created by Lucius, the atmosphere became more oppressive. The a structures, covered in moss and vines, seemed to hold dark secrets. Lucius and Riveria proceeded cautiously, with Lucius leading the way and Riveria c their fnks, holding her magic staff.
"These ruins... they seem to be imbued with an a energy," Riveria ented, the structures around them.
"Yes, and this energy is probably what has kept Antares sealed for so long. But now, it seems like he won't st more than 50 years here," Lucius sehe weakened magic of the pce through his mana zone.
"It looks like there is a secret passage here," Riveria remarked, seeing Lucius's line of light crossing the wall.
"Yes, but I easily bypass that." He grabbed Riveria and used his teleport to get to the other side of the wall, disregarding the door meism since he didn't want to waste time.
Onside the dark ruins, Lucius extended his hand, creating a white light sphere that illumihe path ahead of them. The corridor was colossal, but free of traps after Riveria sed the area with some magic. With silent steps, they moved through the ruins, alert for any sign of the monster.
---
Lucius and Riveria tio advahrough the colossal corriduided by the white light created by Lucius.
"Lucius, there!" Riveria whispered, pointing to an opening at the end of the corridor. The entrao the great hall where Antares was sealed.
They approached the entrance cautiously, Lucius's light revealing the impressive dimensions of the hall. In the ter, a gigantic bck scorpion, with pulsating red lines, y motionless. The magical runes created by the dungeon iwined with the cords that held it captive, f a plex and enigmatic pattern.
"Antares..." Lucius murmured, the sealed monster. "These runes... they are weakening, as I felt at the entrance of the ruins."
Riveria examihe seal with her magical knowledge. "These cords and runes... they were clearly created with immense power, but by a mortals. I have never seen anything like this, runic magic is not practiced for thousands of years. But you are right, Lucius. They are wearing down. They won't st much more than a few decades."
"Antares is asleep, and it seems we haven't awakened him, which makes me think of something. These runes, you mentioned no one has practiced them for thousands of years... has aried to recreate them?" Lucius asked in front of the colossal scorpion.
"No, it has always been difficult to perform and no one has been successful with the limited knowledge we have," Riveria ented, and Lucius had a quite pleased look.
"Then look, Riveria, here is the ao the magic of runic spells, we copy them and uand their ws ter, I wao revive runic magic," Lucius said with a smile while looking at all those thousands of symbols tattooed with magic throughout the hall.
"You are right...!" Riveria hadn't thought of something like that, now in front of her was a door to a magig fotten in this mortal world.
