The whirling wind surrounded them as the sound of their feet echoed around the woods.
Maria walked further along with her sisters, her throat aching from lack of water, she walked up to Allocen who had her eyes fixed on a map in her hands.
"Do you have water with you?" Maria asked staring at her.
Turning her gaze to Maria, she nodded with a smile on her face. Allocen brought forth her backpack and handed a bottle of water to Maria.
"Thank you" Maria muttered opening the lid and drinking its content quickly.
"You can keep it, I don't need it anyway," Allocen said turning her gaze back to the map and they walked further.
"We will get to a border soon, Listen, sisters, we have to be at alert all the time" she notified leading the way.
The intense scorching sun pierces through them, they got into a cave, Ammit motioned them to follow suit as she led the way deep into the cave.
The cave was so dark and moist, cobwebs hung everywhere and a foul smell overwhelm them. Maria wondered why it smelled so bad in here, suddenly, she stepped on something which brought intense feeling into her. She quickly looked down at what she stepped on but the dark cave made it impossible for her to see through.
A gentle breeze abruptly passed through them. Ammit quickly looked around, her red eyes flickering with emotions, "Wait!" She called out to her sisters glaring around.
"Someone is here" she let out touching her sword, her black hair moving swiftly to the flow of the wind.
Immediately, a bright light that was so blinding erupt the whole cave. The whole sisters fell to the ground with their hands over their eyes as a shield over the glorious light.
An image of a lady appeared in the bright light. She had long black hair with sharp red eyes that blaze up. Full eyebrows and a slender body with snow-white skin made her body flawless and exposive in the black dress she wore. Her long nails were so terrifying to look at as a black raven stood in her hand, her fingers stroking it gently.
The bright light reduced gradually making the sisters be able to see clearly as they all stared at the strange woman in wonder.
"Who are you" Ammit asked standing up, her gaze slowly fell on the raven who glared at her.
A smirked suddenly crept on the strange woman's face with her fingers still stroking her raven.
"I can see that you are on your way to the underworld" she spoke out looking at them. Her gaze fell to Ammit, then to Ahazu who glared at her curiously, then unhurriedly to Aynaet, Allocen, Aifey, and lastly to Maria.
Slowly she stepped forward to Maria whose heart began to race, her eyes not leaving the woman.
Getting close to Maria, the woman slowly touched Maria's face, her long nails feeling the depth of her skin with care. Her red eyes were fixed sternly at Maria.
Immediately, her smile faded away, she turned back walking towards her former stand, her gaze facing Ammit.
"Daughters Of Darkness, I knew this day was going to come one day just like it was prophesied. I have waited for the past 4000 years for this and I am glad" she suddenly smiled, stepped towards Ammit handing her a black stroll.
"When you get to the gate of the underworld, give this to the gatekeeper of hell, he will tell you what to do with this" she instructed, her eyes locking with Ammit's eyes.
Ammit collected the stroll from her and handed it to Allocen who shoved it into her backpack.
"Thank you," Ammit said not knowing what else to say.
Nodding, the woman turned back, her hand pointing in a direction, "Go now!" She instructed.
Quickly, the Six sisters walked in the direction. Getting close to the woman, Maria turned and glanced at her, the woman smiled at Maria strangely, her face changing into a different one. Before Maria's eyes, she vanished, goosebumps filled Maria's body. Promptly, she walked closer to her sisters wondering what had just happened. After a few minutes of walking, they got out of the cave heading into the woods.
Hours passed by and the sunset, getting to a spot, Ammit turned back to look at the faces of her sisters, "We will rest here for tonight and continue at sunrise" she said.
The six sisters took their seats at the feet of trees around, within a few minutes, they drifted off.
The next morning, they set off and continued their journey, wild birds of the air flew above them, their cries echoing through the woods.
Ammit walked leading the way, she knew the easiest way to get to the underworld by vanishing but she has to do as she was instructed by her father and the way it was prophesied centuries ago. Sighing, she walked further, her sisters following behind.
Hours passed by, finally, the sisters got to a huge ocean with no clue to pass. Ammit looked around wondering how they are going to get to the other side with no sign of a boat. She collected the map from Allocen as her eyes searched it, there was no sign of an ocean, why is this suddenly appearing?. Puffing out, she glanced around, her eyes glinting with worry.
"How are we going to pass through this?" Aynaet spoke out glaring at Ammit.
Staring at the ocean, as she bit her lower lip, "I don't know" she mumbled confusedly.
Aynaet came forward gazing at the ocean. Slowly she bent down placing her hands in it with her eyes closed. Her blue hair began to float as a soft hum escaped her lips.
Immediately, the ocean began to rumble with terror as the ground which they stood on began to shake. Aynaet stood still, the rumbling water continued more fiercely and violently without ease.
To their surprise, a huge figure slowly proceed out of the ocean filled with power. He had long flowing hair and long beards which shone brightly. His eyes glittered with sovereignty as his full body emerges from the sea. He had no clothes on his upper body but his lower body was covered in a blue cloak which added more power to his figure.
In his hand was a mighty trident that shined godly with majesty.
Aynaet slowly opened her eyes, she glared at the extraordinary figure before her, she never knew that her powers were so great that they could summon a great god before her.
Ammit gasped with widened eyes as she stared at the figure before them with awe. She has never come in contact with a being so godly and powerful that his presence drew so much power from her.
"Poseidon, God of the sea" She muttered in disbelief, her eyes glaring in incredulity.
