I Scored Myself A Mate

"Allias!" He called out when the fog finally began to clear. Theseus found himself in the same spot he originally was, staring the small cottage, stuck right in the middle and in some peculiar way Asmodeus was standing next to him the demon looked around confused, making the general understand that he wasn't the only one who believed they had been separated. He turned around desperately wa red to see his lover and make sure if he was okay only to face emptiness.

Allias was no longer there, the only people he could see were Ea and Ares searching desperately with their Eyes for Allias.

"Theseus!" Ares shouted. "Allias disappeared!"

The general rushed towards them, his breath stuck in his lungs as his eyes scanned the area desperately. How could he simply disappear? A two meter tall man did not just disappear without a trace, especially in the state Allias was in he couldn't have gone anywhere. It would be impossible for him to even stand with the way his head was hurting. 

"Where did he go?" Theseus asked the two elves and they looked at each other. They didn't know. The deep fog had covered everything up making it hard for them to see. It was the same as with Thsesu and Asmodeus. They felt like the had been stuck in a deep cloud of thick smoke. 

"We don't know." Ares responded. "Everything happened so fast and we couldn't really see clearly. We just heard a scream and then he was gone." He explained to his brother. The white haired general sighed, his hands diving into his hair as he messed them up frustrated. He was right. That anxiousness he felt was a sign. He shouldn't have gone there, he shouldn't have left Allias. Every step that he took was wrong he was an idiot for not trusting his gut. 

"What could have happened?" Ea mumbled confused and Asmodeus' eyes were pinned on the other carriage. Who was looking after Mark's body? He wondered and took a few hasty steps towards there. He grabbed the door and opened it slowly only to face a completely empty vehicle. His eyes widened, his muscles tensing as he realized that Mark's body had disappeared in the same way Allias' did. 

"What's wrong?" Ares asked him, noticing the change in his expression. The demon rushed towards them, shocked.

"His body is gone. Mark's body has disappeared too." He stated. Theseus took a deep breath, his eyes gazing the little cottage filled with hostility. He didn't have to wonder where they were, it wasn't even a mystery. He was almost sure that Mark's body and Allias were in there with the two evil witches. "What are we going to do now? What will happen to Mark?" Asmodeus asked distressed. He felt the exact same guilt as Theseus did, thinking that he shouldn't have left him, that he should have stayed there and protected him. He had made a huge mistake by following the general. His top priority was Mark and now he couldn't help it but blame himself.

"I don't know." Theseus mumbled. "It's obvious that those fucking witches took them. That's why they stopped us at the valley. They didn't want us there, they wanted us unable to help. That only means they are are scared of us too and they don't think much about Ea and Ares. They would have done something about them if they felt threatened. The question is how did they know? How did they know about what we wanted? We hadn't talked about it while we reached this place. No one else knows it either. I don't like this. We need to get Allias out of there." He said.

"Wait. Theseus wait." Ea told him and stood up. All this time he had been sitting in the dark grass. "I believe we should think this through. We can't just repeat the same mistake. They won't hurt Allias, it's obvious these women are not stupid since they managed to take him away that easily and Allias' is not powerless. Yes, we have to go in there but we can't make them mad." He noted making sure that Theseus realized the rages of a witch was something to be feared of, especially when it came to necromancy. 

"You know they're probably listening to all of this right? Allias said it back then. They can hear everything we are talking about." Ares reminded him.

"They won't hurt Allias but what about Mark? What if they use his body in a wrong way? I do not trust them. I never did." Asmodeus said, phrasing his worry about Mark's disappearance. Ea nodded, agreeing with how shady these witches seemed and they hadn't even looked at them yet. 

"Hey!" Ares sbegan shouting suddenly. "Can you hear me? Yes, you evil sisters that took the elf king and his dead beast friend away. Let us come. We want to be with them. We won't do anything bad, we promise." He shouted, his voice being swept away by the air. The rest of the group looked at him in shock, their eyes stuck on him, their lips parted slightly. "What? There is nothing really we can do. We can't be sneaky when they are listening to everything we are saying. The only way is to ask them to let us in." He explained and Ea shook his head. It did make sense, it wasn't really that bad of an idea but the fact that it was coming from Ares' mouth made them feel incredibly insecure about the success of this plan.

Nonetheless Theseus decided he would give it a try. He would try to be civil and if he did get rejected he was planing on bringing this creepy cottage down and get to Allias one way or the other.

"Please let us in. I swear we won't do anything." Theseus said with a desperate sigh. 

"I don't think this..." Ea mumbled wanting to tell them that their approach didn't seem to be a good idea when the ground began to shake. Everyone gasped, surprised and they fell down. The earth was shaking so hard they couldn't stand and they looked at each other dumbfounded. "What's happening? " Ea asked confused.

"Did we make them mad?" Asmodeus said but no one had an answer. 

Soon the sound of cracking invaded their ears as if something big like a rock was breaking in two. Their guess wasn't that far off. Indeed something was breaking in two but it wasn't a huge rock. It was the earth beneath their feet. Ares looked down, seeing enormous cracks spreading everywhere and shrieked. He tried to get up and run away but he couldn't. The shaking simply would stop and with every try he fell down again and again.

"Shit" Theseus swore then everything crumbled and all of them fell into and endless black hole. Where they were going? No one could answer that.
