[squawking]
I come on Zeus' behalf.
You swore your fealty to him,
and in the spirit of that accord,
I ask that you let me speak with your brother Brontes.
Please.
I came here because--
You need our help.
I heard you.
With one eye comes better hearing.
How will you evolve now that you have but one hand?
-[Hera] The Fates work in mysterious ways. -[steam hisses]
When I lost my hand, I was embarrassed,
humiliated, angry,
but there was no one to blame but myself.
This humbled me,
which is what the Fates intended all along.
Does that answer your question?
What do you want?
Cronos now wields Hades' bident.
Without it, we can't unlock the invisible dome and free Zeus.
Without him,
we will all fall to Cronos.
I can forge a bident
that will look and feel like the one Cronos now wields,
but it will not unlock the dome.
Only Hephaestus can forge a bident that is capable of that.
Hephaestus
is no longer with us.
Why the tears now, white-armed goddess?
You'll never lay eyes on him again.
Isn't that what you wanted?
You couldn't bear to look at him when he was born.
Your own child.
He lived with that his entire life.
All you see is our big,
grotesque, disfigured features. Hmm.
Spare us your tears.
Just pray your newfound humility
hasn't come too late.
[dramatic music playing]
[metal clanging]
[cracking]
[shattering]
[whooshing]
[Evios sighs] Can't we just fly up?
No, they'll spot us.
We'll have to approach from the cliff. There are fewer guards there.
Forgive me. I didn't mean to interrupt.
Did that belong to your wife?
It was part of her dowry.
I told her father it wasn't necessary,
but he insisted.
And now, I'm glad he did.
Life can be funny that way.
She's waiting for you now in the next world, isn't she?
Our time together was brief,
but it was more than we could ever have hoped for.
She had been promised to a powerful chief,
but she chose me instead.
Her father agreed, but under one condition.
That we leave our village and never return.
So that is what we did.
[sighs] We had a simple life.
Until that chief tracked us down.
She was killed.
And I was sold into bondage.
But I will see her again. That much I know.
In this life or the next.
[bell tolls]
[Seraphim] What's that?
A bell. The sentries use them to communicate with one another.
-[Seraphim] Have we been spotted? -Let's not stay and find out.
Agreed.
[grunting]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[bell tolls]
Wait!
[exhales] We have to respond.
If we don't signal back, they'll know something's wrong.
-[sentry grunts, groans] -[Seraphim] How many strikes?
How many? Tell me or I'll cut your eyes out.
Three.
If you're lying, I'll skin you alive.
[hesitates] It's two.
Two or three?
Two. I swear.
[bell tolling]
[tolling rapidly]
So much for the element of surprise.
-[grunts] -Move, move, move!
[Alexia] Potnia's dark magic grows stronger the closer we get.
Be ready for anything.
[shouts]
[pulsing]
[door creaks]
[wind howling]
[Alexia gasps]
Something passed through us.
[shudders] I can still feel it.
What was that?
I don't know.
But I felt something similar once before.
When my men were slaughtered, their souls crossed mine.
Only this soul is much darker.
[Seraphim] She knows we're here.
She's toying with us.
Be ready.
[Potnia cackling]
They'll all be here soon.
But not before I have my fun.
[grunts, gasps]
[gentle harp music playing]
[whispers] Where are the guards?
[tense music plays]
-What is it? -[Potnia cackles]
[wind howling]
[Potnia] Long live the wind gods.
Now you see why the wind runs free.
[cackles]
You won't find what you're looking for here.
The necklace is with me now.
Do you know what they saw when they stared into my eyes?
Themselves.
That's why they were so enamored with me.
Who are you?
[Potnia] I'm what becomes when self-love
is revered above all things.
[grunts]
-And I am what's going to end you. -[Potnia cackling]
[Potnia] Bravely spoken.
Where are you?
[tense music rises]
-[wind rushes] -[Potnia] I'm here.
-[grunts, gasps] -[Potnia] In you.
-[Seraphim] Alexia! -[grunts]
Don't! What are you doing?
[Seraphim grunts]
[whooshing]
[Potnia] You still hear the cries of your fallen men.
Don't let their death be in vain.
You're betraying them by taking up arms with him.
-Lean into your anger. -No!
[Potnia] Get the vengeance you deserve. You owe them that.
[grunting]
-[shouts] -[grunts]
[grunts]
[gasps] It's Potnia.
I felt her take control of me.
[Potnia] With friends like these, who needs enemies?
When you lose our trust, you lose everything.
[electricity crackles]
There can be no friendship.
[gasps]
Stop! [grunts]
[Potnia] No faith.
No rule of law.
Without trust,
it's even greater than love.
There can be no love without trust.
[grunts]
[Potnia] Trust is king,
and I've just snatched it from all of you.
[cackles]
[electricity crackling]
[grunting]
[shouts]
[grunts]
[gasps]
[Potnia] All that remains is fear.
I feel the pain you feel when you strike her.
[Heron grunting]
[Potnia] Which will make this all the more pleasurable.
[grunting]
Find her and kill her!
-[Potnia cackles] You can't stop me. -[grunting]
I control your soul.
And the soul is greater than the mind!
[Potnia cackling]
[grunts, shouts]
[clanging]
Go!
[dramatic music playing]
[groans]
[grunting]
-[shouting] -[grunting]
[grunting]
When you see yourself, she'll see you.
[gasps]
-[wind howling] -[gasps]

-[whooshing] -[clanging]
[grunting]
-[shouts] -Alexia!
[Alexia grunting]
The mirrors! Smash the mirrors!
-She's using them to-- -[bones crack]
To track us. She's using the mirrors to track us.
Smash them! [grunts]
[shouts]

[Alexia gasps, grunts]
[gasps, grunts]
[pants, grunts]
[electricity sparking]
[shouting]
[grunts]
All that remains is fear.
[panting]
[pants, grunts]
Alexia!

-No! -[hisses]
[grunts, gasps]
[gasps]
[groans]
[Potnia cackling]
[exhales, gasps]
[Heron] Has anyone tried to steal the necklace before?
[Orpheus] Many have tried.
They lacked the one thing it takes to succeed.
The will to sacrifice all.
[echoes] The will to sacrifice all.
The will to sacrifice all.
-[sword slashes] -[shouts]
[grunts]
No.
It's time I rejoined my wife.
Kofi.
-[grunts, shouts] -[gasps]
[grunting]
[screaming]
Kofi.
-[dramatic music playing] -[choir vocalizing]
[wind howling]
[Heron grunts]
[panting]
Is that it?
Where's Kofi?
I'm so sorry.
Gods, no. Oh no.
No. No!
Why him?
Why Kofi?
[Heron] Move, move, move!
[whistles]
Follow me.
[Seraphim] We have to walk from here.
I felt him pass through me when he died.
But it wasn't like it was with my men.
I felt their horror, but with Kofi,
I felt peace.
I felt something too, but it wasn't that.
He's dead because of you.
All of you.
You're all fools. And this is a fool's errand.
I'm not gonna throw my life away for him.
No matter who you think he is…
I'm done.
[Heron] I'm sorry.
We will all miss Kofi very much.
All we can do now is make sure his sacrifice wasn't in vain.
[Seraphim] Not you.
It's bad luck for mortals to cross this threshold.
It's too risky.
I hope you know what you're doing.
Because we just paid in blood.
