Chapter 50: The Ambush by Death

Artemis began to move again

Causing issues for Chronos

“Hey, I said stop moving,

Why must you test me so?

I wouldn’t lie to you

Yet you still think of me

As nothing much more than

The enemy that you would rather

See dead with the blood

Pooling all around his corpse.”

“Yet, it is you that is the threat

Even now you continue to run

From the very problems that

You have started and are not

Man enough to face.

That is what I hate about men,

They will act all mighty and

Heroic, yet they are anything but.

It is an illusion that you pose

Onto the rest of the world

That you run this

But it is us gods that pull the strings

From behind all of your backs.”

“So who pulls yours,

Oh helpless Huntress,

For you aren’t that strong

Even though you speak these

Words filled with fighting and angst.”

Entered a third voice

Before Chronos was hit in the side

And pushed on over

Dropping the huntress

Before he himself recovered

Rolling onto his feet croached

And looking up to meet his aggressor

Which whom it were lady death

Keres, with a gleeful smile

Spread out on her pale face

Her teeth bared and sharpened

To the point along with her claws

That pointed right at his face

Ready to stab him

Like that of steally blades

And so Chronos slowed time down

And moved swiftly as he speed

Himself up at the same time.

He then slide his arm through

Keres who didn’t notice the arm

Enter her as she passed through,

Too busy with her own insanity

To notice the gentle slash.

So back to regular time we go

With Keres stumbling forward

Shock spread out across her face

Of wonder as the pain innocently

Began to course through her body

Until it crushed her

As she feel forward,

With feet still planted firmly on the ground.
