Chapter 01

Adelaide's POV

I looked up to the sky and wondered. Are they watching me still? Maybe. Is my Lady watching me? I hope so. I hope I could see her again, to feel her warm embrace once more, even if just for a minute.

“You know, if you keep talking to yourself, I will tell her ladyship that you are going insane by staying here in the mortal realm.” Galatea, my companion berates yet again to me. Galatea is a gift from my Lady, she told me that Galatea is the last of her kind and being the only one of her specie she wanted me to bond with her.

Bonding with Galatea was a hassle especially when I could practically hear her thoughts and emotions. But despite the fact that we hear and feel each other and the fact that I hate that she hears my thoughts and feels what I feel, that doesn't change the fact that she's a loyal and reliable companion and I will always treasure what we have.

*Flashback*

“The eclipse has begun!” Lady Hestia announced. She looked over at me and smiled, I didn't get what that smiled meant but I know it something amazing.

“Come, we must hurry, she has been waiting for so long now. She's grown impatient.” she? Who in Olympus is she? I was about to ask this to my Lady when we stopped all of a sudden in front of a big tree.

“My Lady, why are we here? And who are we waiting for?” I asked. She smiled and looked down on me; “My child, be patient, she will reveal herself any minute now.” And with that she touched the tree and whispered ancient Greek words to it.

After that the tree glowed and then dulled afterwards. I got confused and when I was about to ask about what just happened, Lady Hestia smiled and backed away a little, I was going to do the same but she shakes her head and told me to stay where I stood.

I did as I was told and stayed in my spot.

“Touch the tree, my dear, feel it's power surge into your body.” She says and I did what she said. I touched the tree and tried feel it, if that even made any sense.

I stood there like an idiot as I try to feel whatever I was suppose to feel. And when I was about to take my hand off the tree it shined bright like the sun and I felt a wave of power came through me.

I looked back at Lady Hestia in confusion but all she gave for an answer is a smile.

I got more confused but when she gave me a reassuring nod to me, I felt calm and secure, secured that I'll be fine whatever that is about to come at me.

“.....” I waited for something to happen but there was nothing. Not even a sound.

“Open your ears, Dear Chandra. Hear it's call for you.” I closed my eyes and let my ears see for me.

“Master, master, master....” I heard a mystic voice repeat the words "master."

“I've been waiting for you, master. For years I have been trapped in this tree, waiting for your birth.” I vaguely see an image of a little girl floating in front of me. “Now, you're finally here! Master, I pledge my life to you, to obey every order you say to me.” A now clear vision of a little girl was now in front of me. A big smile was plastered on her face.

“I, Galatea, Pledge thy life for thy Lady, I swore to protect and keep you thee master, always and forever, for as long as I live.” she kneeled down before me.

I don't know how she did it but out of nowhere, she had a dagger in her hand. She then cut her right palm and as blood drip endlessly in her hand, she gave me the dagger.

I didn't know how to react. But I took the dagger from her and ripped a piece of my clothing.

“I accept, but please don't this again.” She bows her head abruptly and smiled as I held her up.

*End Flashback*

My meeting with Galatea is one of the moments I'll always treasure the most, even if she annoys the Hades of me.

(A/N: Hades is the ruler of the underworld, which makes him not an Olympian but a resident of the underworld, which can also be called Hades. Hades name can also be equal to saying hell.)

“Hey, we're here.” I heard her say. I looked down at the cliff side where we are standing. I saw a big castle, complete with guards that roam every corner of it.

“Chandra, what should we do now? The place is covered with guards, there's no way we could get pass them.” Galatea worriedly pointed out. I smiled and looked at her over my shoulder.

“Galatea, do you really have very little faith in me?” I grinned playfully as I said so. She shook her head and a look of trust and determination flashed on her face.

“Well then, let's get this party started!” I jumped off the cliff as I shouted those words from the top of my lungs, adrenaline rushing in me.

“Chandra! Lady Hestia is going to kill me! Come back here, we haven't even planned anything yet!” I heard Galatea shouted from a distance.

Sorry, my dear but I'm not going to stall any longer, Celesta is in there and I need to get to her as fast as I could. I need to save her from these vile people before it's too late

♡♡

Once I was inside, I disguise myself as one of the servants in the castle. I wore a maids uniform and acted as if I worked there.

I was told to serve the master of the castle and his guest some wine and told me where I could find them.

They were in the master's fun room. I asked what the purpose of the fun room is to one of the maids that was accompanying me.

Their faces paled as they explained what it's purpose of. My blood boils as I found out that the room was used as a room for prostitution and other illegal uses.

They also told me that they experienced being in that room for the wrong reasons. I didn't say anything after they finished saying that to me.

I really need to get Celesta out of here, pronto! I said to myself.

We arrived at the fun room and let's just say that, what we were hearing is not child friendly. And in the corner of my eye, I saw the two maids with me were already trembling in fear.

I turned to them and told them that they could leave the wine to me and told them to go back to their actual work.

They hesitated but I insisted that they leave. Fortunately, they did.

I knocked on the door and once I heard the word “come in” I opened the door and saw the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in life.

“What are you standing there for?! Come in already!” I flinched when the man who assume is the master of the castle is, yelled at me.

“I'm sorry, my lord.” I said with a bow.

I poured them each a goblet of wine. They seem to have noticed me as I poured them wine and I swear, I felt one even touched my buttocks.

I stood up and bow yet again as a sign of respect and was about to leave but saw one of the guest blocking the doorway.

“Sir, if you please, I would like to leave now.” I asked the man politely. But all he did was chuckle maliciously at me before locking the door behind him.

My heart was pounding as I called Galatea for help through telepathy. I was now thinking of ways on how to escape here after I've confirmed that Celesta is really here.

“Little girl, don't you want to have some fun with us?” The man said. I shake my no but he also was shaking his head no but in a bad way.

“Oh, little girl, let's have some fun before you leave. We promise you'll have fun with us.” I tried to run away from him but was caught by another one of the guest.

“Haha! I got you!” He licked his lips and leaned in for a kiss. I pushed him away and ran away yet again from him but this time I was caught again but now it was the master who has caught me.

“Now, now, pretty lady, it's not nice to run away like that....” He forced a kiss from me but I bit him so he stopped doing it.

His lips was now bloody and I felt satisfied for what I did. He slapped me and I fell on the floor. He yanked me by the hair, from my lips I could taste my own blood, I have a cut on my lips and he looked happy with it.

“My friends, this one doesn't know how to obey, I think we should call our favorite toy here so she should know how to act properly.” His friends laugh in approval and the man from earlier left the room.

The master yanked my hair harder and I had to grit my teeth together as to not scream. He and I looked eyes and I saw an evil glint in his eyes.

“I'll make sure you will not be able to stand up after I'm done with you....” Was the words that he said and I thought that it was his pathetic way of trying to scare me, but I wasn't scared of him at all.

Then moments later, I heard the door opened and when I glanced to see the person who came inside, I felt my blood run cold and my spirit was taken.

I saw Celesta, my sweet lovely Celesta; looking all disheveled and bruised up. What have they done to her?!

She has cuts, bruises and marks all over her body. Her clothes were covered in her own blood and is torned and has holes in them. Her face and body was covered with soot, dried up blood and bruises and scars, and her hair that was once well kept was now all tangled up telling me that she hasn't brushed it once. She was just looking like a ghost of who she was before.

Before, when we were all still together, she looked lively, happy and was full of love for the world and everybody around her. But now she looked like an old used doll.

“Now, Cece meet your new friend!” The man spoke and led Celesta in front of me.

“My lovely Cece, we want you to show her how to play nicely, okay?” The man said to her and she nods her head.

The man then looked down on me with a grin on his face. He sat down on the couch and threw his head back.

Celesta then walked towards him and kneeled down in front of him. She then started to unbuckle his belt and pulled his pants down.

I tried to look away from them but the master forcibly made me look. I shook angrily as I watched Celesta do something so revolting I couldn't help but feel sick.

“Look at her, she is so obedient, you should really learn from her, pretty girl.” The master told to me.

“S*ck it, Cece. Be a good girl and make me feel good.” When that guy told Celesta to do that, Celesta obeyed and pleasured the man even more so than before.

That struck a nerve on me. I couldn't think straight anymore and explode; I grabbed the master's arm and swung him down and that knocked him out.

The other two guys that was in the room charge in for me but blasted them away, now that only left the guy from earlier.

Looked at him and saw the fear in his face, I ignored his hanging testicle and stared at his face, I gave him a cold glared and without even doing anything, he passed out.

After I've dealt with these disgusting people, I directed my attention back to someone I was looking for so long.

“Celesta, how have you been?” I heard her sobbed and sniffled. She smiles as she looks up to me.

“Adelaide!”
