"Hector... I... I am... sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to... I only wanted to..." She was lost for the right words to use.
However, someone helped her out.
"Survive!?" The Magistri's voice sounded behind her.
And then he suddenly pulled at her hair.
"Wakey wakey!!! I am Looking for Lenny Tales!"
*SPLASH!*
Her Head was doused with water.
Athena suddenly opened her eyes.
She looked all around her.
She could not believe what she was seeing.
There were a total of twelve people around her.
However, calling them people might have been a bit too much.
After all, these people did not look human. Some had no eyes at all, and even the ones that had eyes were not normal.
Some only had one, and some others had too much for their faces, like that of a spider.
About two of them were very fat. It was a wonder how they could move with such bodies.
Some had hair on their heads, and some did not.
However, one thing was common with all of them, and that was the fact that they were all women.
This was something Athena knew purely based on her senses.
After all, all of them were dressed in black and green.
For some, it was a gown, and for others, it was plain clothes.
There was even one that revealed far more than necessary, with only a tiny green rope in between her butt cheeks and barely covering the private in front.
These were witches. These were the Ouroboros Coven.
"Can't you hear what I am saying?" The witch pulling her hair asked
This particular witch was big and very muscular.
She was like a male gladiator but only had one eye, which was in the center of her head.
"Maybe we should pour her more water?" Another one was suggested.
"No! I suggest we torture her and drink her blood. That would make her talk." Yet again, another person voicing their opinion.
Subconsciously, Athena turned to the one who said this.
This particular witch had multiple eyes on her head and very long fangs protruding from her mouth.
"Settle down, sisters!" Yet again, another voice However, when she talked, all the others kept quiet.
Minnie the Witch, a distance away, suddenly teleported before Athena.
"Can't you guys see? She is hurt. Negative magic is sipping at her life." Minnie brought her face close to Athena's as if she were trying to get a closer look, even though she had no eyes.
"Sister, could you please assist me?" Minnie turned to the witch who had earlier suggested drinking Athena's blood.
The Witch stepped forward.
And then she leaned in, and her fangs sank into Athena's neck.
Athena felt a sharp pain. However, her eyes slowly became brighter as the negative Magic that had formed spider cracks on her skin was drained out of her body.
"Hmm!" The witch wiped her mouth.
That was quite tasty. Evidently,she did not just drink out the negative magic but explored the opportunity to drink some blood.
"Sister Minnie! It's not fair. I want a taste too!" Another witch complained begrudgingly.
"Settle down! You can have a taste later." Minnie waved her hand, dismissing the request.
Her attention was once again drawn to Athena.
"Now tell me, little flower, where is Lenny Tales?"
The moment the poison was drained from her body, Athena's sense of her environment became clear.
Before, she could not tell if what she was seeing was real or not.
However, now she could. And her incredible senses, which now had a hold of her environment, told her that these Witches were very real.
Instantly, she tried to struggle.
However, the sharp pain from her hurting arm made her quickly realize that even if she managed to get out of this hold, fighting against these Witches was not possible.
After all, she was not even in the nicest of conditions.
Her body had not healed itself properly, and her days of endless suffering had contributed to her current weak state.
"Answer!" The Big Witch Pulling her hair added extra force to the Pull.
"Ahhh!!!" Athena moaned in pain.
"I don't know, sister. Are you sure this is the one?" One of the Witches asked
Winnie rolled down her sleeve to reveal three compasses tattooed on her arm.
Of the three tattoos, one pointed straight to Athena.
To be precise, it pointed to her arm.
Athena, smart enough to notice the needle of the drawn compass point at her, followed the direction it pointed in.
There it was, at the side of her belly, like a drop of blood.
It glowed red in response to the compass.
"You killed one of Cuba's Breeding Succubus. Am I right?" Minnie asked.
Athena instantly understood.
It also made sense why there were three compasses on Minnie's arm.
One was for each person who killed a Succubus.
She could also see that the other two pointed in a specific direction.
Those ones were for Perseus and Hector.
At the thought of her lover, her eyes suddenly brightened.
However, she immediately had flashbacks of the scenes she had seen during her time Hallucinating, and it instantly dampened her spirit.
"Hey! Little flower, I'm talking to you. Unless you want my sister to take another bite, you'll tell me where Lenny Tales is."
"I... I don't know... I don't know where he went," she said, swallowing dried saliva as she tried to explain.
"He left me here and just walked away."
"Oh! He left you here all bonkers and crazy, huh!"
Athena nodded.
Minnie sighed: "Well, I guess you have outlived your usefulness, and my sisters are hungry. It has been a long trip coming here." She suddenly stood up and turned to leave.
As she did, the Witches around her suddenly turned in Athena's direction.
One of them even licked her lips in anticipation of the meal.
Athena was not dumb.
She knew what was going to happen next.
"Wait! Wait!!"
Minnie stopped and turned about, saying, "Yesss..."
"I don't know where that son of a bitch is, but I can help you track him."
(Author's note: So let me understand: you read it and liked it, but no love, no power stones, no golden tickets, no gifts... (Are you tripping or something?)
