Erinyes Game
The thought of continuing to commit atrocities and destroy innocent lives is overwhelming. Your hands shake so much you can hardly point a finger.
“Hestia.” Hades sounds nervous. “I have extended the ten second limit for this one time, but you must still make a decision. What say you?”
“I…I can’t. I won’t.” With more bravado than you feel, you meet Hades’s gaze. “I will not point.”
“You do know what this means, correct?” Clearly not expecting this, he sounds like he’s about to start pleading with you.
“I won’t be with you, Hades. If you need me to point, then…” You point right at the choker around your neck.
His eyebrows shoot up into his hairline. “Very well, Hestia.” You’re glad to see that he seems resigned to this and will respect your decision. “You would have made a wonderful partner…are you sure this is what you want?”
Before you can rethink anything, you nod. Death would be better than the alternative.
Hades presses a button on a remote in his hand. Your choker ignites in flames and lava, much like that of Ares and Hephaestus.
As your eyes roll back in your head and you lose consciousness, you end up with a smile permanently etched onto your face.
At least in the end, you are in charge of your own fate.
