#goddess of fury

[dwellerbytheashtreeforest]

The goddess of death was trapped by gold, the light of the sun that gave life, that blinded her to the calls of the grave.

The goddess of fury was trapped by silver, the cool waters to drown her flames, that ordered her to be calm when she yearned for her ire.

The goddess of death returned by turning ice cold, her heart ripped out, no warmth in her eyes.

The goddess of fury returned by engulfing herself in the flames of passion, of anger, of love, her irises set ablaze again.

(Kerri you're a queen for setting up this dichotomy I didn't even notice until today)

Sorry to reblog and man- woman- NB-splain? NB-splain, I'm just really passionate about this stuff and it's not meant to be offensive whatsoever

I think it's because of the core differences the sisters have combined with the spell lock. Despite being twins, Vittoria has always been more theatrical, perhaps a little more mischievous and more of an instigator. Yes, Emilia used to be fully cruel and violent, but then she fell in love. Vittoria's feelings for pride have been alluded to but not emphasized.

After the spell lock, Vittoria saw the solution to lean even further into her previous identity and ignore the heart the witches "gave" her. She leaned into her cruelty and lust and penchant for violence in order to ease the pain and at least make herself feel like she was healing from what's an enormous amount of trauma and violation. Her sister, for most of her immortal life has been Fury. They were immortal goddesses, they could play-fight with each other and do things to push the others' buttons without feeling any real consequences. Mortal sisters on a more intense scale.

What better way to bring her TRUE sister back than sparking her fury and anger and her violent side? What Vittoria didn't know was that Emilia has grown attached to her heart, and has developed a fear of being heartless to anybody.

When Emilia found out about the spell lock and was released from it. Yes, she took vengeance, but it's as much in character for her as it is for Vittoria. Though Emilia's motivation was more likely about getting justice for her sister, her husband, herself, and any others the witches hurt.

The way Emilia chose to heal and cope was very different to Vittoria's. Emilia chose to take lessons from her time as a mortal, from her time with a mortal heart, to make peace with and combine her two identities. She is compassionate and empathetic and sweet at times, but merciless when the time calls for it, and she likes violence a bit. That's gonna happen.

So I think a lot of Vittoria's actions were likely more harmful than she perceived them to be. And she thought that was what was necessary to get her sister back. She thought it was for the greater good. Vittoria Just didn't understand Emilia for most of the series. It took until the end.

Why is Vittoria so mean to Emilia?

In the first book she sound kind to her

Hypnos wins a bet (and a fight) by being left-handed.

Hi I had this idea after noticing that Hypnos holds his quill in his left hand and I thought, huh. Greek warriors like say, Achilles, probably never fought against left-handed people because it was considered like a curse or whatever to be left-handed. Anyway I then proceeded to do 0 research about this and instead write fanfiction.

Another day of mindlessly signing in the visitors to the house, and sneaking in a couple naps so he could do his actual job.

Sure it was boring, and repetitive, but Hypnos found enjoyment in such things. It was almost calming, in a way. When he wasn't getting yelled at for slacking off, that was. Speaking of which...

"Hypnos."

Ah, shit. Than had that look on his face again. The one that meant he was confident he was going to prove someone wrong. Then he stopped dead in front of him.

"I believe that you could beat Achilles in a fight."

...What?

There was no way. Achilles? ACHILLES? Who was hired specifically to be the head of security for the house and personal trainer for Prince Zagreus? THAT Achilles?

"I also may have already placed a bet that you could." Of course he did. Hypnos kicked him in the leg.

"WHY would you bet that I can beat ANYONE in a fight? Let alone Achilles- he's like- one of the greatest warriors the mortal world has seen!"

"But he was mortal. And shades are notably weaker then their living counterparts." Thanatos countered, decidedly ignored his attempt at kicking him.

"But *I* am a poor fighter. Remember what happened with Sarpedon?" Thanatos just waved him off.

"Please. That was because there were far more people trying to fight us, in the midst of a war. This will be a one-on-one fight in a controlled arena." Hypnos narrowed his eyes at him. Thanatos gave him a shit eating grin.

"I'll help you train for the fight, of course." Of course. There was no way out of this one. His brother had made the contract completely airtight. He sighed.

"Fine. Where?"

"There's plenty of training areas in Elysium. I'll find one somewhere near where you reside." Whatever. He nodded half heartedly and turned back to his endless list as his twin exited with a flash of green light. He was actually excited to sign in the countless deceased mortals who ventured across the river Styx now. Better then getting his ass kicked.

~~~

He went home immediately after his shift ended. Knowing Than, he'd barely have time to get a power nap in before he came clanging in with the sound of funeral bells.

True to character, Hypnos was in fact awoken by a clamour of tolling bells, tearing him away from the realm of Sleep where he had been weaving dreams.

Thanatos either didn't notice his glare, or just didn't care.

"Where do you keep your weapon? I can't see it anywhere." He asked instead. Hypnos rolled his eyes. Why waste his time and energy in crafting a place to put his sword when he can just keep it immaterial until the rare occasion he required it. Stopped it from getting lost, as well. His brother appeared unimpressed by the simple instrument.

"You've seriously never made a more... personalised weapon?"

"No need." He grumbled. "This is plenty personalised. I can wield it well enough."

"C'mon then." Than motioned him towards the exit.

The training area Than had found was pretty close by, to be fair. It also happened to hold an unattended spear.

"From one of those hero shades." His brother explained. "It was dropped when Zagreus and I were fighting some of them. I'll have to return it at some point." Hypnos couldn't help laughing at that.

"YOU stole a hero's weapon? Why?"

"It's not stolen!" Thanatos countered. "I'm just holding on to it until I can find the rightful owner. Besides, Achilles fights with a spear. You've got to know how to beat a spear-wielder."

Okay. Well. The spear was here regardless, and it WOULD be better to train against the weapon that Achilles would be using. The twins started out with simple moves, ones their mother had taught them when they were very young. Hypnos, surprising himself, managed to get into the flow of training quicker than Thanatos.

"Damn thing's like an an amalgam of my regular weapons." Thanatos grumbled. "Can't remember how my next move's supposed to go." They continued on for what felt like forever. Eventually, though, the ever present exhaustion plaguing Hypnos grew too large to ignore and he had to return to his realm. The last thing he saw was his brother, resting at his side while planning further training.

This became something of a routine between the two. For a good few days or nights, or whatever passed for such underneath the earth, they would each attend their separate duties in the house and later meet in the same arena to hone their skills. Hypnos almost managed to forget that this whole thing, all this quality time with his brother, was to help him win a bet.

Almost.

Though of course, eventually the day came when he would have to face Achilles in combat. And of course, most of the House had become aware of it some way or another. And Hermes. Because the messenger God knew just about everything except the future. (That was a job given to one of his own many brothers.)

"Alright there, Hypnos?" Zagreus slung one arm around his shoulders as he spoke, bringing him close to say, in an exaggerated whisper, "remember, his heel is his weak spot." Hypnos's only answer was to roll his eyes. If no one had known about that weak spot, Achilles would've come to the underworld far later.

He found himself... nervous. He often was, the few times anyone had bothered to task him with something important, but this was different. In a way, this fight placed his own honour and status as a God on the line. Even though it was a carefully controlled arena, and mostly recreational, if he lost this fight, he would become known as the god weak enough to be bested by a mortal shade.

Zagreus seemed to realise he wasn't in the mood for jokes, switching to a rambling tale of his latest (and probably vastly exaggerated) attempt at reaching the surface. He was only partly listening, though. He was busy trying to fine tune his plan to best Achilles. He knew he had far less stamina than the other gods, but how did that compare to mortals? One trained as a warrior, at that. Was it possible that Achilles could be faster than him? He just didn't know, and wouldn't until the fighting began in earnest.

Thanatos had tried to reassure him that it was impossible for a mortal to come even halfway to the abilities of gods, but he was a pretty pathetic god. And he wasn't blind, he knew the way his brother fought. He could tell that he'd been holding back when they fought together.

~~~

He stood in the arena proper now, Achilles at the other end. He seemed slightly puzzled by something, though Hypnos couldn't think what it was. Probably the fact that he'd actually shown up to the fight at all. The Champions of Elysium were sitting in the place of honour amongst the crowd of onlookers, the hastily appointed judges of the fight. Glancing around the rest of the crowd, he couldn't spot the King or Queen, nor his own mother. Though he did spot more of his siblings than just Charon and Thanatos, and he tried not to think about the things they would say when he got his teeth knocked out. Also Hermes. Seriously, with the amount of jobs that guy had, how did he find the time to come down to the underworld so often?

The signal was given to start, and Achilles began to stalk towards him, weary of any sudden tricks that the god might pull. But sudden tricks really weren't his thing. He stood his ground, fully aware that his opponent had a longer weapon that he could start using any time.

Rather, he used the shade's approach to study him. He still unconsciously held the habit of favouring one leg, the one that had been fully invulnerable in life. He lacked a shield, gripping a longspear with both hands. And as conditioned in the rules of this fight, he wore no armour upon his clothes. There was not much else Hypnos could learn by standing around like an idiot, so he began to focus on actually fighting the man still moving towards him. He had the shorter weapon, he would have to find a way to get in close.

Something in the shade's eyes seemed to shift, with a barely perceptible change in the atmosphere. The battle had begun. No more standing and thinking, just fighting.

Well, either way it would be over quickly.

Achilles threw caution to the wind in charging, hoping to catch the usually lethargic god off guard. Unfortunately, Hypnos did just about the opposite of what he expected and moved closer, giving himself the advantage with his shorter weapon. Achilles seemed strangely unbalanced in how he countered. Was Hypnos using techniques that he had never seen? No, he was no war-fighting god, that couldn't be it. Maybe it was the way he moved? He knew that gods often moved differently to how the mortals expected, maybe this was such a time.

He was tiring quickly, in spite of the endurance training that his brother had him undertake. The god of sleep simply couldn't stay awake for too long. He just needed to focus, to quickly find a weak spot in the defences of his opponent.

...There.

Achilles' habit of hiding his vulnerable heel made him unbalanced. All Hypnos had to do was strike low, and the great warrior tripped over his own feet. The rules of the fight dictated that the first one to fall to the ground for any reason would be the loser. And so Hypnos, stunned, was announced the winner of the fight.

He quickly found himself in the middle of a crowd of siblings he hadn't seen in decades, Ker even said he'd done well! And she fought with Ares' war band, so she had pretty high standards of what a good fighter looked like.

Achilles just shook his head, apparently in good spirits despite his loss. He congratulated Hypnos on beating him before going to talk to a few other shades. Zagreus thought the whole thing was hilarious, teasing his old mentor about the loss.

Even Hermes had stuck around to chatter at him for a while, and Hypnos found that he actually quite appreciated the energy the Olympian god brought.

After most had left, and Hypnos was once again alone with his closest companions, he recalled the strange way Achilles had seemed unbalanced, asking his brothers about it.

"I knew something like that would happen." Thanatos answered him, cryptically. "It's why I even made that bet."

Belatedly, Hypnos realised that he didn't even know who he had made the bet against. He was about to ask Charon what he thought, but he spoke first.

"Your fighting hand. It's different from most."

Hypnos squinted at his hands suspiciously.

"Seem like pretty normal hands to me"

Charon let loose one of his terrifying laughs.

"Yes, they certainly are. But you choose to hold your sword in your left hand. The warriors of Greece only train with their right."

Hypnos blinked. The warriors of Greece only ever trained to fight with one hand?

"What happens if a warrior was used to using their left hand?"

"Then, they would be turned away or taught to fight with the other hand I assume." Charon answered.

Thanatos had been trying to move slowly away from the conversation, but Hypnos dragged him back.

"You knew the only reason I could win that fight was because Achilles never trained against an opponent who was left-handed." He said, getting right in Than's face. He poked an accusing finger at his brother too, just to really make sure he got the point.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Hypnos." He tried to hide his face so Hypnos couldn't see the way he smiled.

"I made that bet because I knew that your godly strength would be what won you the fight." Hypnos didn't believe a word of it. He tried to yell at his twin, but Thanatos started laughing.

"What's so funny? Cut it out!" He complained, but for some reason he was laughing too.

Charon watched them amusedly, reminded of the times when the twins were young, and would argue about things that didn't matter. Even then, they would forget their arguments for the laughter that came from the ridiculous words they were saying. Truly, the bond that existed between twins, forged by the Fates was unbreakable. Even though they had spent years without speaking to each other, now they could laugh and joke as though none of it had ever happened.

~~~

"YOU WERE HOLDING BACK, THAN!"

"YES, FROM DOING MOVES THAT WOULD WORK WITH A SCYTHE BUT NOT A SPEAR!"

"STOP FIGHTING WITH WEAPONS YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO USE!"

"THEN YOU WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT A SPEAR WIELDER!"

...blood and darkness, they could get loud. Hypnos was now repeatedly smacking Thanatos, who was lain on the floor, with a pillow he'd found from the many scattered around. Charon found that he couldn't quite recall when they had even begun this, lost as he was in his thoughts. Growling, he moved between the pair, both of whom were still laughing, and confiscated the pillow by throwing it into a far off corner.

"Awwww, that one was my favourite." Hypnos complained. He wouldn't put it past his brother to actually have a favourite pillow, but that wasn't the main issue right now.

He playfully swatted at the pair while telling them to get back to their usual duties. Both rolled their eyes in unison. It was kind of unsettling, actually, but Charon would never admit to such outloud.

Eventually, with much playful arguing between the three brothers, Charon did manage to convince Thanatos to leave with him so Hypnos could rest. They could settle whatever argument they'd been having another day, and both he and Charon probably had a lot of work to catch up on.

Here’s a collection of my favorite sketches from 2024!

In 2025, who knows — maybe I’ll finally do that Mythology g/t Story I’ve always wanted to do. I think I’m ready now 🫣😊

[dwellerbytheashtreeforest]

Talking about the Princesses of the Seven Circles!

I don't know if the demon princes realize this but they're going to build an army against themselves with their spouses. Like do they realize the absolute hell Emilia, Camilla, and Adriana are going to cause for them? Those three are going to hang out. And it's going to mean bad things for their husbands. But you know what they're probably into it.

I love the variation between Kerri's female MC's. Yes they're all sassy and stubborn but there's subtle differences in interests and preferences and personality. Woah, it's like she writes women like they're real people 😱

I also love how Emilia is all like "so maybe the time for talking is over~" and Camilla is all "you wanna touch me, don't you?" And Adriana is just like "either you're lost in thought or constipated" and "mmm steaming innards" and not even in the hot way. Like I'm obsessed with it.

I also love how each of them have at one point been like, "you just sassed my love interest to his face. I love you"

I also love how they don't all have to kick ass in battle to be strong. Like Emilia can tear you apart in terrifying ways in seconds, Camilla has cool powers that she's still kind of figuring out, and Adriana will just roast the fuck out of you and pour ice down your shirt for the burn. But if she's faced with a dragon she's got nothin, which is realistic! Not every female mc has to be physically unstoppable to be cool and "correct" and she does it so well!! I love all these women and I can't wait for them to cause chaos.

(also please more Val and her witch girlfriend please thank youuu)

What are myths that paint Hera in an unambiguously good light?

When Hera, along with Aphrodite and Athena helped raise orphan girls, for seemingly no reason. Pandareos was killed along with his wife for stealing Zeus’s dog, a dog that was made by Hephaestus… to guard baby Zeus… but Zeus is his father… it’s weird.

I don’t play Hades Game so idk how accurate the characterization and storyline is to Greek mythology but the designs?? To die for

the Erinyes (Furies) I don’t know much about them but?? Wow.

Aphrodite looks stunning and otherworldly. Athena looks absolutely regal and I LOVE how wild Artemis looks

Nyx (my beloved), I love how they went for the winter aspect of Demeter. Persephone doesn’t really look like the queen of the underworld but I THINK that’s the point? Anyway she’s perfect.

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE KOTW SERIES, I have no idea where you are in the series but it's a topic I'm passionate about ^^

I think because it's clear that their attraction and "horny-ness" has always been about the love they have for each other as people. Does she think Wrath is hot, sure. But he's only hot because he's WRATH, he's calculated and invested and really lets loose when he's passionate about something, he has a caring and gentle side, he's a good fighter which Emilia loves, and despite there being a time where he was more powerful than her, he never treated her like it. He treated her as the strong, confident, amazing woman he's always known her to be.

And yes, Wrath thinks Emilia is hot. But he only wants to do stuff with Emilia because she's EMILIA. I think it's implied that he didn't engage in dalliances like his brothers much before Emilia came along. And she rocked his world. Mortal or goddess, she's not afraid to stand up to any demon (or any other powerful being) no matter the power they have. She banters with him, she's inquisitive, she's intelligent as all hell, she's also a brash in her own right, and she finds strength where others would not dare look for it.

Even before Emilia could admit she liked those things about him, she still did like those qualities. And mortal heart or not, Emilia was herself at her core before and after the spell lock. Even before they remembered each other, her soul called to his, and his soul called to hers.

It's romantic because they really only found each other sexually attractive after falling in love with the other's soul first. It's never just been about the other person's body, in fact, it never has been. (Ex. Any other person would have probably been more drawn to Lust than Wrath at the beach scene in KOTW, but the second she saw Wrath, all she could think about was him)

At least that's what I think!

Wait Emilia is naming horny sex romantic?

In my eyes it's still horny sex and nothing romantic about it.

Goddess of sacrifice 🧡🦋

Maya sokolav × Vaughan morozov

Maya sokolav did a very wrong thing... an unforgivable thing to Mia sokolav .she was already suffered more than anyone and felt guilt for whatever she has done .but isn't it is happened when she don't even know what is right and what is wrong .isn't she is just an child who felt inferior whose innocence was used misappropriately.

Circumstances change everything ...Isn't a good person is also a bad person in someone's life...

Everything changed that day she has done something which will haunt her forever which she felt guilt as ever and suffered enough and still suffering even after mia got her voice back..mia is happy with landon but what about her will her life will be like this forever...

She really believed that her bo--ex boyfriend will understand her..will ask her what really happened....what made her hide that until now...what that shitty person done to her...she never thought he will leave her when she felt dead..left her when she is completely broken...left her when she needs him more...why didn't he hold her and tell her everything will fall into right place and time heals everything...or maybe just an shoulder to lean and cry...

He left her the day he got to know what happened..maya felt ilya will understand her.that day when they met they had an huge argument about how worst person maya was... how maya should tell them about mia things...the argument ended up with maya crying so hard and ilya broke up with her

"You deserve every suffering you felt maya and you will suffer forever..."

To be continued.....👀🧡

Lemme knows your ideas too.

This story is purely based on my opinion. We don't know the pov of maya why she hid it.yeah we got some glimpse but i can't accept that.she loves mia very much then there might be something is hidden more like hidden truths ..i can't write a full fictions but some parts where we can see she is not alone and she also deserve someone's love.
