Up to no good

[Eris]

Eris stood at the doorway looking up at the dark arch that lead the way to the dammed, the echos of torment that sounded from beyond sent chills down her spine but in that oh so good way. She had decided to save the fight look for a later more opportune time and found her way to the underworld.

As she stood there gazing across and about to set foot on the path to where the damned were being punished she paused, the ground felt as if it were moving, the rumbling got more intense as she stood there. From the shadows came a low growl and 6 red glowing eyes could be seen, she smirked "who's a good dogie" she patted at her knees and the beast came forward, it held the body of a large dog with three heads and a pointed tail

"how is the mighty Cerberus doing today hmm? she reached up to scratch behind his firsts heads ear and the normally fierce beast that guarded the door way licked the goddess cheek, yes she had made good friends with the animal and for good reason, it allowed her to come and go from this place at her leisure.

She manifested three large hunks of meat..that looked oddly enough like parts of a hydra "eat up, guarding is hard work" she chuckled and as the he ate up she slipped past him and went on her way reviling in the screams but what could she possibly be doing here hmmmm

[Eris]

Walking down the path enjoying the sites of the damned being punished, she paused for a moment....something was off there seemed to be a few less souls...and usually her presence in the underworld would have drawn the attention of Hades by now but he had yet to show up...could it be that he was not there? Eris grinned with delight, ohhhh the fun she could have with out him here...she hmmmed to herself and went to a group of souls who were chained to a wall with some rather juicy looking apples dangling just out of their reach. she pulled out her sword made especially for her and with a strike tried to cut the bindings on their cuffs, a few sparks and a couple more strikes and the chains gave way releasing them, they fell to the ground looking up at her with fear. The goddess just smirked and went on her way again doing the same to three more groups of the damned, she of course delighted in watching the chaos of their scrambling about trying to find a way back and giggled as she saw a few making their way to the Elysian Fields which was where she was headed

[Eris]

As Eris walked onward toward her destination letting go those that were bound there when it amused her so, her icy blue eyes were all shinny with excitement and she couldn't help but giggle here and there. As she walked on a group of men approached her and then abruptly bowed "mistress please free us from this place, let us walk among the living again and serve you" they were those men that had died in her service, she smirked as she looked at each one, truth be told she really didn't care if they stayed here or not, fallen soldiers were weak in her eyes but she did see some fun could be had "those that can make it past the guard that watches the gates to tartarus and avoid Hades will rejoin me....oh and i will only accept the first three to make it " she grinned as she watched the men scramble, punch and kick to make it in the top three.

She turned back laughing to herself wondering which three would make it if any, she knew that if Hades found them there would be hell to pay...so to speak...She kept walking till she came to a stone bridge and peered over the edge into the black abyss below, she stopped and pondered a moment then waved her hand over the darkness, a wind started to blow and the darkness began to swirl, it did so until it started to take shape. It was about nine feet tall, glowing red eyes, its fingers came to sharp points that were tipped in silver, the horns formed into the shape of ram horns. Once i finished forming it stood on all fours and roared so loud it shook the ground then looked down at the goddess. "go have some fun shadow beast, the mortal world is that way" she pointed the way then chuckled as it ran off disappearing into the shadows where it liked to hide

She continued on her way and finally made it to her destination. the gate way to the Elysian fields looked as though it was just another door way, there was nothing behind it but a wall or so it seemed. Eris smirked and looked behind her a moment to be sure that she wouldn't be stopped then looked back to the doorway, as she stood there her hair lightened to a dirty blond color, her eyes darkened once more to a deep blue, and her short red tunic turned white grew in length. she closed her eyes then stepped through the door

[Eris]

Eris slowly opened her eyes once she had stepped through, the sun was brightly shinning in the sky, there was a gentle breeze and children's laughter filled the air. It was so peaceful....so cheery...Eris of course had a brief look of disgust on her face and a long sigh on her lips. she slowly walked along in the field of wild flowers looking around as a group of kids came giggling by chasing a rabbit. they stopped and looked up at the goddess and smiled "hello miss " my aren't they friendly Eris thought to herself, she gave a half smirk half smile kneeling down a little "hello there.....maybe you can help me. I'm looking for someone" she grinned and whispered into the closest girls ear, after a moment the girl pointed north

Eris stood and looked over then back to the kids and pointed out a beautiful archway lined in roses that seemed to be standing by itself in the middle of the field "see that lovely archway? if you walk through the middle of it you will find lots and lots of tasty treats and all the best toys in the world." the kids eyes widened and giggled as they ran off toward the arch and disappeared

The goddess laughed a bit then walked off to the north humming happily

[Eris]

Eris wondered for a little bit before she came to a cottage, a woman came out of the house smiling as if she had no care in the world, Eris narrowed her eyes some and watched her pick a few flowers. Leaning against a near tree Eris took in the woman's appearance and manor, from the way she moved to the way she spoke. after a moment Eris pushed away from the tree and wandered closer to the woman smiling in that oh I'm no one but an innocent girl way.

The woman smiled as the goddess approached "hello miss" the woman stood holding a few flowers in her slender hand "hello, perhaps you can help me" Eris gave the best smile she could "I'm looking for the wife of Matthias. i was told to find her and bring her to him" the woman canted her head some and was silent for a moment before replying "my husband's name is Matthias, i am Linnea..is he alright?" a worried look graced her eyes

Eris kept her own smile "oh yes he is fine but he needs you " she held out her hand "i will bring you to him" she kept her hand out and waited and after a moment Linnea nodded and gave the goddess her hand ready to be lead to her husband and lead the way Eris did, they walked back to the arch in the field then though the door and made their way past the screams of torment which bothered Linnea a lot as she didn't even know she had died

Where...where are we?...." she asked, her tone was scared "the underworld of course" Eris replied as if it was just common sense. Linnea gripped the goddess' hand tightly and hesitated but Eris pulled her along past the souls she freed that seemed to be running amok, and past Cerberus which was sleeping happily full from his meal and out of the underworld.
