I have you under my spell

Hecate, Goddess of Magic, immortal.

Katerina stood up and brushed herself off. “Well it was absolutely lovely talking with you, Hecate. As always. But if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be on my way now.” The dirty blonde goddess turned on her heels and began to walk to the elevator doors. They were so close, yet so far. She sensed something bad was about to happen, but she shook of the feeling, choosing to concentrate on getting out. Maybe she’d visit another time.

[witch-hecate]

"And where do you think you're going, little one?" The woman smiles and shoots out her hand. Upon the quick movement, a translucent force field of sorts traps Katerina, a wall, a mist, if you will. She laughs and stands up, walking to the girl. "You're staying here."

Her jaw clenched, so hard she thought she might crack, split her skull. Katerina’s eyes threatened to water, she willed them not to. As much as she hated to admit it, lady Hecate was right. Katerina would have to eventually watch Corey die. She didn’t care to think about it, she’d lie to herself if she had to. Corey was her everything, she would find a way to make it work.

"He has nothing to do with anything," she said through gritted teeth. "I love him and you can’t control that. If anybody is the disgrace, it’s you. You don’t even care about your children. Will deserves better parents than you.”

[witch-hecate]

It took all of the energy that Hecate could muster to keep herself from laughing at Katerina's petty remarks. "You don't think I care?" She was offended, and it was beginning to show. The black magic woman exhaled sharply, narrowing her eyes further. "Who are you to come to the defense of my son? I saw how you treated him last night. Terribly."

Katerina began to feel the familiar burning in her cheeks as the goddess spoke. She bit down hard on the inside of her lip, and she tasted blood. She didn’t care. It wouldn’t do anything to her, now. Her eyes stared at Hecate as she spoke. She knew what the witch said was true, but she was afraid to admit it. She’d fight for herself.

"Hey-" the dirty blonde narrowed her eyes, "I am very responsible. Do you really think Zeus would have offered me this opportunity if he didn’t want me here? If he didn’t think I could handle it?" The girl was a simmering pot of water who threatened to boil over at any moment. Her dainty hands balled themselves into fists and she glared at Hecate. She had the nerve. She wasn’t afraid.

[witch-hecate]

Hecate gritted her teeth. So many things... so many things she wanted to say to this girl. So many things that she deserved to have said to her. The lady sat up a little straighter and patted down her skirt. She would remain calm, cool, and collected. A measly little minor goddess like Katerina wouldn't bother her, maybe tick her off a little, was all.

"Fair enough," she hissed, if only looks could kill. Her eyes were daggers, her words were poison. "And what about your little friend, Corey is it?" She paused, a small smirk playing at the corners of her lips. From what she had observed she knew that bringing up the boy would surely get Katerina's utmost attention, it'd make her listen. "He's going to grow old, Katerina. And you aren't. You brought this upon yourself. Are you sure it's what you want? You're a goddess, who is romantically involved with a demigod. That is almost an insult, a disgrace."

Katerina put on the best fake smile she possibly could and bowed her head. The tension between the two was obvious, there was no mistaking it. She shoved her hands into her pockets and walked over to where Hecate had directed her to. The chill from the cool marble went through her thin jeans as she sat, and she almost shuddered, almost.

She felt so out of place, considering everybody was in white dresses and golden crowns, well, except Hecate, who wore black. Weird. The dirty blonde raised and eyebrow and shifted herself on the bench so that she faced the other goddess. “Oh, do you? And what, might I ask?”

[witch-hecate]

Hecate exhaled through her nose in an attempt to calm herself down. It wasn't exactly.. working. She tightened her finger's grip on the black velvet fabric of her dress and she heaved a sigh. Her eyes flickered up to Katerina's and she held the deadly eye contact, not daring to look away. "You're irresponsible." she said simply, her eyes  narrowing as if she were a cat.

"You're a goddess, Katerina. And this is the first time you've thought of coming to Olympus? What did you think this would be, fun and games? No, Katerina, it isn't. It requires a level of responsibility and leadership that I do not think you have. While you were busy playing around with your little demigod friends, us true gods and goddesses were upon Mount Olympus doing important things."

Katerina glanced back at the golden doors as they closed behind her, shutting her off from the mortal world, from all she’d ever been used to. She rarely got scared, but she almost felt.. queasy… sick to her stomach. But maybe that was just the baby. The dirty blonde wrapped her arms around her middle and clutched her sides as if to comfort herself.

This was the first time that she had ever gotten a good look at Mount Olympus, and it was spectacular, to say the least. A long set of marble stairs led up to the massive temple that sat on the summit of the mountain. Vines and stone cascaded down the mountain’s side, and it all just flowed. It was so fluid. And Katerina was now a part of it, this was technically her home. 

Looking around, she began to wonder why she’d decided to stay down on the earth, when she could be up here, living her endless life to the absolute fullest, leaving no leaf unturned. Out of the soft golden light of the torches emerged a familiar black cloaked woman. Lady Hecate. Katerina tensed slightly, though she knew she had no reason to. She was no longer just a measly demigod.

"Hello, Hecate,” the young goddess said, well.. spat. It had come out harsher than she had intended, but she didn’t exactly care. “How nice it is to see you, truly. Especially after that night a few weeks ago.” The sarcasm poured out of Katerina like a spilled glass of milk. Her words hung in the air like a heavy fog, and she knew that they would probably suffocate her, eventually. She’d regret them. 

[witch-hecate]

"Lady Katerina," the raven haired woman said, bowing her head. As much as she disliked the young girl who stood before her, she remained polite, and proper. It was one of the many things that Hecate felt very strongly about. Her pale pink lips curled upwards into a contorted, insincere smile. "Sit, my child."

She nodded to a marble bench that stood no more than a couple of yards away from the two goddesses. Katerina had no idea what she was in for. Hecate planned on giving the girl a long, very long talking to. It was about time Katerina grew up and took responsibility. She had been the one who had accepted the role as goddess, after all. And she was being lazy. If Kat had been Hecate's own child, the witch would never had stood for it. But unfortunately, Katerina was Hades' domain, and truly only what the god of the Underworld said would really take any effect on Kat.

Hecate strode to the bench and sat down, folding her hands curtly in her lap. Her steely eyes watched as Katerina sat down next to her, they watched almost cautiously. The goddess of despair was reckless, unpredictable even. She'd keep an eye on her. "There are a few things I would like to say to you, Katerina."

Katerina stood at the top of the Empire State, not daring to go near to the edge. If there was one thing that Kat hated more than anything, it was heights. And though Flynn had tried to help her get over that fear, it hadn’t exactly worked. She glanced around somewhat anxiously. The building really did seem to scrape the sky, in the distance she could see miles and miles of city lights. It was actually very pretty, like someone had draped a black blanket over the surface of the earth and punctured little holes in it, to let the light in. 

The dirty blonde played with the hem of her black sweater. Something had given her the urge to visit Olympus. After all, she was a goddess now, and had every right to be where goddesses belonged. The last time she’d been up there in the cloud was the party in which she had been granted her new title goddess of despair. The thought brought a tiny smile to her lips. 

She walked slowly to the door, the elevator door. The girl pressed her thumb against the button and the doors slid right open. Upon the opening of the doors, a bright, almost blinding light shone out. Katerina winced and held her sleeve in front of her eyes and if to block it out. The young goddess stepped in after a moment or two. Even if it was just an elevator, it was beautiful. The floor was a creamy marble, the walls were adorned with gold. It was truly fit for the gods.

"Here we go.." the girl muttered to herself as the elevator doors slowly drew to a close, encompassing her in the small space. Her thumb made it’s way to the vast expanse of buttons on the wall, and she pressed the one that would take her to the 600th floor, to Olympus. The girl breathed in, and before she had the chance to exhale, the elevator shot upward at a great speed. Kat felt her stomach lurch and she held onto the railings of the elevator, as if for dear life. She hoped she’d eventually get used to the feeling. After what seemed like an eternity, all was still, and the doors slid open.

[witch-hecate]

Olympus was unusually quiet. The courtyard, which was usually very busy; deities scrambling left and right, minor gods all about, was still. The goddess was almost uncomfortable. Since the war waged with Kronos had ended, things on the mountain had been less tense. No longer were council meetings held every night, or multiple times a day. There was a new sense of freedom, a sense of freedom that Hecate had not quiet experienced in her thousands of years of living.

The witch, clad in a black robe, slowly made her way down the steps of the main building that stood on the peak of the mountain. Beautiful fountains and marble statues passed her by as she walked. Never before could she truly appreciate their beauty. Hecate had never been the type to  care about such things, and though she was a goddess, after all, she thought herself to be different than the others. She could care less about beauty.

In the distance, something caught her stormy, gray eyes. A light, a new light. The opening of doors. She could just barely make out the silhouette of a young woman cast against the brightness of the doorway, and based on the sudden chill that ran down her back, she knew it could only be one person. The goddess walked coolly and swiftly to the elevator doors, her pale hands folded in front of her, her raven hair cascading down her back. 

"Look who has finally decided to show up," Hecate said, her voice an icy dagger. She had never  cared much for Katerina. When she'd sided with Hades the first time, Katerina had betrayed their family and fought for Zeus. And then just days before she killed Kronos, the goddess had found the girl torturing another. It was craziness, absolute craziness. She had never thought the girl to be responsible. Katerina was a goddess, and should be doing her duty on Olympus, not fumbling around with her friends on the earth. It was childish and irresponsible; foolish, even. The black haired woman gave Katerina a condescending look, and simply shook her head.

[quinn-mckenna]

[Peyton grits her teeth and squeezes her eyes shut. She feels the wound on her head closing.] Thank you..

[witch-hecate]

Katerina's methods may have been a little unorthodox, but the lesson she was trying to teach to stands true. Remember that, child. [Hecate helps the daughter of Hermes  to her feet and disappears]

[quinn-mckenna]

[Peyton breathes heavily and looks up at Hecate] P-Please..

[witch-hecate]

Shh.. [Hecate places her palm over the wound on her head and begins to heal her, sending much of her energy into the blonde. She knows it'll hurt Peyton, but it is for the best]

[katerina-nox]

[Katerina’s eyes widened as the goddess entered the room. Before she had the chance to say or do anything, she was sent flying at the wall. When she made impact, she fell to the floor. The girl sat up and groaned]

[witch-hecate]

[Hecate rushed to the injured blonde and untied her. She removed the metal contraption from her head and cradled her in her arms, examining her wounds. She looked to Katerina] Out of my sight, child. Before you suffer a similar fate as this girl did.

[quinn-mckenna]

[witch-hecate]

[Hecate had decided to visit the demigods in the base camp, to check up on things. Visit with her children, considering there was a good chance they'd be dead within a day or two. The goddess felt something was off. She heard something. The raven haired witch narrowed her eyes and walked towards the source of the noise, just to find the disturbing sight of Katerina torturing Peyton. Hecate scowled and sent Katerina hurdling towards the wall] This is how you settle your pity disputes? I would have expected the war to teach you a lesson, daughter of Hades. 

[wtvrthena]

Well, I wasn’t going to miss the war. So, here I am.

[Athena strikes at the monster in front of her, watching it disintegrate. She then jabs her weapon into an enemy demigod, smirking as they fall to their knees in pain]

[witch-hecate]

It's been fun. [Hecate smirks and drops the sword. She raises her hands and creates a wall of energy. She thrusts her hands forward, causing a few demigods to fall]

[romeowtf]

[Smirks and bows to her.] Pleasure to meet you.

[witch-hecate]

I know. [the goddess twirls her sword in her hand and stabs another monster]

[wtvrthena]

[Athena slashes at monsters with her long sword, covered with deep red blood. The blood of enemy demigods cover her sword and the goddess has no regret. Monsters turn to golden dust before her.] These monsters don’t stand a chance.

[witch-hecate]

How nice of you to show, Athena. [Hecate eyes her and decapitates a demigod with her sword]

[katodeling-deactivated20230522]

[romeowtf]

Romeo, at your service.

[witch-hecate]

What a fitting name. [Hecate bows her head] Lady Hecate.
