Aridonis blocked his slash and waited for Demetrios to connect.

Nikon shoved Aridonis back.

Nikon grunted back fisting Demtrios away as Orion tackled him and stabbed into Nikon's shoulder.

Aridonis went to deal the finishing blow as they had him held down.

"I need my powers for the mission!" Alea pleaded to Hecate.
"It is not your mission! It is for them to figure out for themselves where their destiny lies, not for you to put them on the right path."
"But you gods do it everyday!"
"We only show them the signs but it is up to them whether they even notice, but we are not going to be direct about it. The signs are not easily noticeable, if they were people would try to seek a perfect life and learn nothing about sacrifice and loss."
"But I still need them for my other mission."
"Your other mission? Oh, the search for answers? Travelling to where it all begun will not get you the answers. You were born in a small cottage just outside of the town Alea in which you were named. That cottage and town has since been wiped over, a town of ruins is all that remains, and anything connected to you, has been lost in the winds of time."
"Then that's it? I'll never know."
"The answers you seek lie in your own gifts... not all of them came from me... piece together the puzzle and you'll know how you are placed together on this path we are all on."

Alea found herself on a sandy beach alone and hot.
"What's this?"
"Someone else who could do with your help..." came the only reply.

Nikon ripped free backhanding Aridonis away.

Aridonis grunted hitting a tree.

Nikon turned kicking Orion in the stomach knocking him back.

"What are we supposed to do?", Aridonis asked Orion.

"We have to kill him." Orion said getting up.

"Easier said than done."

"True." Orion said tossing his shield away and drawing his second sword.

Aridonis took out his second sword as well.

Orion charged Nikon.

Aridonis charged from the other direction.

Nikon blocked Orion leaving himself open to Aridonis however.

Aridonis went for a powerful stab into Nikon's side.
