"I was just curious, sorry." Ignis smiled a half smile, no humor in it at all. Coming back over towards Alysia, she hoped the child would accept her offer about Hecate. The goddess was frighteningly powerful at times, but she was a rather good person to talk to when your stuck in a rut.
It was a good thing she accepted, Ignis smiling and nodding her head. "Be right back." Winking out as she popped into one of the flames in Hades's room, she quickly made her way to where Hecate was. Always, at parties like these, she was in the same place. Walking in, she whispered into the goddesses ear, her eyes frowning some in thought. They both left the party without another word.
Quickly, Hecate was in front of Hades door. The fool might have thought he was the only one in charge, but she had been the one to cause it to be like so. Of course, she was going to leave a backdoor way for herself. "Go back to the party Ignis, Hera has been gunning for poor Persephone all night." The witch goddess told the fire nymph. Her response was a curt nod and a puff of fire. The nymph was always nervous around her... she wasn't sure why. Closing the door behind her, her green eyes bore into Alysia. "Lovely to meet you, child. Now what is it that you wish to discuss?" She questioned, her brown hair curly and sleeveless dress revealing her odd nature. Twisting tattoos of snakes were on her right arm, silver jewelry that doubled as weapons shining in the firelight of the bedroom. She was a goddess to be reckoned with, yet she knew she could not stand up to Zeus if his full wrath was present and she had trouble against Hades and Poseidon.

Alysia nodded her head. " I know, i'm sorry Ignis. I can only tell you what I saw though." She explained/ When Ignis left she looked around the room quietly feeling uncomfortable being alone in the underworld.
Startled by the door closing she looked up her golden eyes settling on the goddess." My vision." She said. " I saw Destirel and Elias die by Zeus's hand...but Elias, he's planned to kill him tonight." Even saying it made her empathy mess with her emotions. " Zeus wants his brothers to either rule beside him...or they will be his enemy. He's going to ask that..I saw a few outcomes in my vision." She said softly. " But they alll result in Elias dying, even when Poseidon relented and said he'd help Zeus, Zeus still kill Elias to test his brother."

Hecate crinkled her nose at the girls words. Well this was one hell of a mess, now wasn't it. Walking towards the girl more, she smiled softly, worry in her eyes. "What seems to be your dilemma, child? Yes, there are multiple paths you can take, but is there not one that shines the brightest in your mind?" She questioned, her voice soft and the metal jewelry clinking lightly as she moved, almost as though there was a soft breeze in the room.
Sighing deeply, she moved towards Hades bed, placing her hand on the side table, not looking at the girl. A flash of guilt rang through her, but over what, she hid quite well in her mind. "I can not help you in your fight, but I can give you guidance if you wish." She added, looking up, her eyes a mixture of emotions. She wanted to help, really, but if she did...things would get complected and Destirel may be lost anyways.

Alysia gave a hesitant nod of her head in response. Yes there was multiple paths but she realised what needed to be done to set her on the correct path. " If I save Elias tonight, then everything is set in Motion..but if I don't save Elias, then Zeus has won. He'll have Poseidon on his side and with Poseidon joining Zeus many other gods will follow.. If I save Elias, Hades will be wary of Zeus and keep Destirel safe." She explained. " It might not work, Zeus can still get to Destirel if he really wanted to but Hades will be more aware of it. Ultimiately I can't control the gods decisions though can i." Dropping her head she sighed." If hades or poseidon willingly aid Zeus then that is their choice."
She knew what that choice would bring though. Destruction to Olympus and to mortals. A fight of the gods would not end well. " I need to help Elias..." She wasn't to sure how to go about that though. Where was Poseidons home in the sea anway?

Hecate listened to the girls voice, her mind working out what she needed to do. She wasn't dull, that much was obvious. Hecate, was not only trying to help Alysia, she was also seeing what kind of girl she was. Hecate knew that Destirel had taken an interest in this girl, she didn't know what it would end up as, but she didn't want him to get his heart set on one woman when she wasn't suited for him. So far though, Alysia was doing well enough.
Smiling as she reached her conclusion, Hecate walked back over towards the girl, her dark green eyes bright. "Now, do you wish to do this alone? I can bring you to Poseidon's, if that is what you wish. I just need to know if you want another to come along." She offered, having a feeling that the girl had no way, nor the knowledge to do what she needed. Hecate was also offering the child an opportunity to bring anyone she wished. Destirel maybe, Ignis if she wished. It was her choice of course, even by herself, if she was brave.

Her head was hurting from thinking to much, or what was needed she couldn't determine but either way she had the onset of a major headache. " I..." Stopping mid sentence she paused to think. What would she even do when she got there and what if she came into Contact with Zeus. Once she was there she was very well stuck wasn't she unless Elias was willing to help her.
This was very much without a plan and now she wasn't so eager on the task expected of her. " I need help." She realised." Elias doesn't even like me..." Dropping her gaze she sighed. If something got out of hand she didn't even have the power to help herself. " I don't know what to do." Unable to help herself her hand played with the ends of her hair. " I was entrusted to a muse...but I think if I told her, she'd forbid me from going."

It was quite understandable, the girl was having trouble. Hecate wouldn't expect any less. However, as she saw it, Alysia had no choice but to act, unless she could live with the guilt of stopping the murders from happening. Everything would go into chaos. This was not something that should happen. What was Zeus thinking?
Upon her mention of a muse, Hecate smiled and clapped her hands. "Call her. No excuses, call her here. If you were entrusted to one then they should come when you call, am I wrong?" She questioned. Hecate found muses ever so entertaining and by the sound of it, Alysia's was a stickler. However, the witch goddess had a few tricks up her sleeves.

A flash of guilt crossed her face as Alysia looked up at Hectae with an expression like she'd been caught with her hand in the cookier jar. Eris, oh how angry would the muse be? She'd broken everyone of her mothers rules. Don't speak to Destirel, don't go anywhere with Destirel and especially do not interact with other gods or goddess or they'd remove her from the school. " Yes, that's right." She said softly.
Nothing really could prepare her for an angry muse though and as Eris appeared she winced picking up on the muses mixed emotions. Eris was angry, relived, happy. Really it was a headache. " Eris..stop one emotion please." Closing her eyes she sighed her headache really was awful now. " Why are you here Alysia?" Eris asked keeping herself from asking to many questions all at once as she realised Alysia's prediciment. With a shake of her head she moved to Alysia looking at Hectae curiously. What was going on? " Alysia..what is wrong?"

Oh, it was Eris. How delightful a person, Hecate thought, though not entirely sarcastic. The muse knew how to take a job seriously. Watching the exchange intrigued her some though. What all did this child have to live with these past years? Sighing, some she came up to Eris and smiled. "Don't interrupt the child when she speaks, think rationally, not with your heart." She cautioned the Muse, before Alysia could speak.
Destirel, meanwhile, had been getting a bit worried and had managed to sneak away from his father and the party. Wondering the halls for a while, he debated whether or not to go and check up on Alysia. He doubted he could get in. Maybe Ignis could let him in? No, his father had a near absolute defense in his room, among a few others. He kept many things in there and found that it was incredibly difficult to break open.

Alysia flashed Hectae a mild grateful smile then shook her head slightly as Eris started fretting over her then ultimately resulted in a hug from the muse. " I had a vision again about the boy." Now she was going to have to talk about the nights events. " I met him, he's poseidons son." She explain. When Eris was about to say something she held up a hand in protest. Something very unlike what she'd normally do. In every othe occassion she'd allowed Eris to fuss over her but now she was feeling overwhelmingly confident...or at least understood what was required of her.
" Zeus is going to try to kill him tonight." She'd gotten straight to the point without having share any other information about the ball. " Alysia your just a child, someone else can save Poseidons son." Eris interjected. With a firm shake of her head Alysia slowly stood up her legs not feeling so weak. " Not true. " She answered. " I got shown the vision, it has to be me." Eris wasn't looking at all pleased about this but the muse had the sense not to argue. " How are you going to save him?" She finally dared to ask Aylsia. " I..I don't know." She admitted.
With a sigh Eris rubbed her temples. " Let's say...you do manage to get to Elias in time. What if Zeus sees you?" She asked. One look at Alysia and she just fell silent. The child really had no idea how to achieve the task. " Where is Zeus now?" She asked waiting for an answer from either one of them. " Is he still here Hectae?" Alysia asked softly.

Listening to the two, Hecate was quite interested. The girl was behaving quite maturely for someone who had a large responsibility placed onto her shoulders. Hecate was there to help but would only interject if needed and answer questions if she was asked.
"Let me check." The goddess replied to Ignis's question. Closing her eyes, she could see into the ballroom chamber through a few mirrors that were present. It was a cool feeling, somewhat unpleasant but useful. A soft breeze blew around her as the magic was being worked. Within a minute, she found her target and came out of her trance with a bit of a frown. "Yes, but it seems to me that he is preparing to leave soon." She informed them, non to happy at how fast the time was moving.

" So Zeus is still here for now." Eris said thinking out loud." What does Zeus do when he leave here Alysia?" Arms folded over her chest Alysia stared at Eris in disbelief she might not be capable of attitude and back chatting but she let the muse know she wasn't at all impressed. Really what did she think he went and did? Had a nice cup of tea with Hera? No he was straight away going to go to Poseidon.
Shaking her head she looked at Hectae. " I have an idea...it's crazy but..it could work?" She spoke softly. " Couldn't we just kidnap him, get there and grab Elias so when Zeus arrives he's not there?" Sure she knew Elias would probably hate her for the remainder of her life. That was on a whim they could even grab the boy from right under Poseidons nose. " I don't know what else I can do." She explained. " I can't let Zeus know who I am, and I don't want Elias to die."

"Now, there, is a good idea." Hecate spoke, her lips curving into a smile as she walked towards the other side of the room. A large chest was there and Hecate just happened to have a key to it. Seemingly out of the air, the goddess pulled a large amount of keys. As she began to search through the huge mass of them, she spoke. "I think that your plan will work. It is quite cunning in a way. Though I think I might have something to help you out." She began muttering for a moment until she pulled out a rather grisly looking black key that seemed to be made of bone. Smiling, she unlocked the chest, a nasty sounding crunch letting everyone know in the room that it had worked.
Opening the lid, purple tendrils of smoke began to come out. Hecate didn't seem worried though and stuck her hand in. It sounded as though she was digging through papers and metal, though it was really an assortment of valuable and enchanted things. Sticking her arm further down than it seemed the chest went, her eyes brightened and she pulled out a golden and black helm. There was a dent in one of the cheeks that she didn't remember being there, but oh well, things happening in that chest. However, as she stood and locked the chest, the helm shrunk to be smaller and lost some of its intimidating appearance.
"The helm of darkness, this should help, do you not agree? Take it if you wish." She questioned and held it out to Alysia. The helmet was turning much more femenistic, small wings coming from the side and a sun etched on the top. It changed for every wearer. Most people didn't want to see Hades, it was made for him after all and took in his bad temper. It was quite the scary sight.

Alysia looked up suprised that Hecate agreed with her crazy plan. " It's dangerous though isn't it." She realied. Looking to the chest she was almost curious now what ever was inside the chest that could help?
The helm at first unsettled her as she picked up the darkness. This object could it really help. Beginning to relax she smiled up at Hecate." Thanks." She said softly. Taking the helm she watched in awe as it changed to accomodate her.
Turning her golden eyes onto Eris she looked at the muse. " Will you help me?" She asked softly.

"Of course it is dangerous. I don't know if there has been any journey that hasn't been...when it pertains to the gods." Hecate told the girl after she had taken the helm. She was glad that Alysia had take it. The helm of darkness would gift the one who wore it with invisibility. It was one of the three items, each gifted to Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.
Looking to Eris as Alysia asked for her help. Hecate hoped the ,use would accept. The child needed the help and some guidance would be good for her when down under the water. Poseidons domain was as dangerous as any. ((do you want me to bring in Destirel))
