The Horn of Flames blazed brightly in Pyri’s hold. The light from the weapon lit up the interior of the private quarters where they were holding an impromptu council of war late into the night.

Cassius could tell its power more than matched that of the other artifacts the Gods of Old had created to vanquish Chaos.

It might actually be stronger than the Spear of Light and Morgan’s sword.

The knowing glance Atropos shot his way told him he was right.

Although Myrdin was sticking to Tenebra and the Reaper God like a remora fish to a stingray, the Forest God’s wise eyes indicated he’d acknowledged the weapon’s power too.

“I’m amazed you managed to keep that hidden from Elios all these centuries,” Boreas told the fire deity gravely.

“Yes, well, there are places inside the Spirit Realm even Pan doesn’t know of,” Pyri murmured.

Styx and Acheron nodded.

“There were.” Hecate was scratching the head of one of her hounds, her brow furrowed. The dog huffed in pleasure. “Kes and Alecto found our last refuge, remember?”

Irritation darted across Pyri’s face. “We would not have been able to hide for much longer, Hecate. We achieved the goal we set ourselves before the Nether tore and the realms fractured. We kept the Horn from getting into that foul God’s hands when our suspicions were roused about his intentions.” The weapon he guarded disappeared when he closed his hand. “This war is something we cannot avoid, however much we wish we could.”

“And that’s the real reason you went into hiding?” Jasper asked cynically. “To stop Elios from stealing the Horn of Flames?”

Pyri narrowed his eyes. “Watch your mouth, demon. We are the Gods of the Underworld. We fear no one.”

Jasper bristled. Reuben laid a hand on his thigh.

“How about everyone calm down?” Boreas said soothingly as tension thickened the air. “We’re meant to be fighting the God of Darkness and his army, not one another.”

“He’s right,” Daphne murmured.

Pyri settled down a little.

“I see not all your brethren came with you,” Atropos said quietly. “Do they still side with Elios?”

Pyri and Hecate exchanged a tense look.

“Their minds have not changed since the time they chose to support the God of Darkness,” Hecate replied, unable to mask her bitterness. “It is also why we left the Underworld before the War began. Those traitors would have betrayed us to Elios.”

Memories of the War in the Nether swarmed Cassius’s mind. So the Gods and spirits in Elios’s ranks were from the Underworld.

Pyri cast a jaundiced look at the assembled Goddesses and their allies before studying Cassius with a sharp expression. “I hope you’re ready to make up for your past mistakes, Awakener.”

Morgan lowered his brows at the deity’s accusing tone. “Not that we aren’t grateful for the help, but how about you stick to what you need to do and leave the rest to us?”

Pyri sneered. “Oh, please. You may be the bearer of the Sword of Wind, but you are no match for me, boy.”

Black currents detonated around Morgan. Thetis cursed and grabbed on to her slipping crown.
