Tartarus was a Temple.

Chapter 61 –

Saving Mortals and Freeing Demons.

I looked round in wonder at what would have once been a magnificent place to see. We were in some kind of broken Temple that quite obviously had been a place to come and worship the old Gods. But it was hard to imagine why it would be down here in a place like this. So once again I found myself asking the question,

“What is this place?”

“This is the Temple of Lost Olympus.” She said stepping over the fallen remains of what were once great and mighty statues of her ancestors. If I thought the Temple of Janus was large then this was its older, bigger brother! The statues alone were like buildings left to rest on their sides. Huge severed arms still holding onto their weapons reminded me of Jurassic trees fallen after a storm.

“But why is it here?” I asked following after her and climbing over the smaller bits of debris. I could practically hear her rolling her eyes!

“Mortals…” She muttered before she carried on.

“This temple used to be on top of Mount Olympus but after the last battle between the Gods, Zeus forced the remaining Titans back into this place. Once there he then used the last of his power to bring forth the greatest storm this planet has ever known, striking down his own Temple and using it as a prison, one that took them straight to the lowest levels of Hell.” She said this scowling at the statue of the God she obviously held responsible.

“Is it not that way?” I pointed to the large door at the end, next to the only statue that remained mostly intact and you could tell it was the main man himself…Zeus, the one Aurora clearly detested.

He was sat upon a huge throne as if looking over his domain and now I guess he was forever to be punished also, considering all he had to look at now was the result of such a war.

“No, Dom went this way. I can feel his presence as if he walked these very steps.” Once again I found myself frowning that she could ‘feel him’ and I knew it was irrational, but I didn’t even want her thoughts to feel him, let alone her jealous hands. Not only that but it annoyed me that she made out she could feel his presence when I had the strongest urge to go the other way.

In the end I didn’t say anything but just followed blindly as we went off in the opposite direction to what I felt was right. The entrance
