The unchanging door, before Eunuch's eyes, his vision was only interrupted when Dionysus entered it and did not leave. After the bar closed and the orders were put away, only Eunuch remained paying attention to the door, like a doorman, a caretaker.
"Mary, isn't it strange that she hasn't disappeared yet?" The Eunuch was still amazed at what Elizabeth could do. "Helen, do you have an explanation?"
— I'm sorry to tell you that it isn't. — still focusing on the sewing machine he made — Maybe this isn't just any door, but an extension of Hades, a passage.
"Elizabeth told me there will be a great war. Could this door be a trump card for our victory?" Mary laughed. "Now I understand!" Brilliant as always, Elizabeth.
"Explain this to me! I don't understand anything!" Eunuch didn't know whether to look at the door or at Mary. "You know I'm not good at riddles."
Hana and Amélia, getting to know each other better and better, filled the long corridor with their voices. This closeness was essential for Amélia, a person who wasn't much into romance but had gotten into many, to gather important information for Hana and Shizuko's meeting.
— Wow, you're really good at this, how can you be like that?
— I'm not the romantic type, but Daisy's father is definitely the most touchy-feely person of all. He wields the power of the king of the underworld, the kingdom with the most subjects and which has never had a rebellion. It fits him like a helmet—a helmet of darkness, I mean—and he tries to hide it, but fails.
— Sorry to be intrusive, but why did you break up?
— I'm not a good person. I traded him for alcohol after Margarida was hospitalized.
— I understand. Why are you so angry with Elizabeth?
"She's completely different from me. In body and mind, I lost a husband, but my daughter gained a good stepmother, and as consolation, I gained Mary a man who hated Elizabeth and also owned a bar, two for one."
Just as Hana was about to make a joke to Amelia, the black door that had been closed opened, and figures emerged. In the blink of an eye, they entered the room where Cassandra was.
— What was that?
— Let's see!
Hana ran towards the room, looked inside, and was completely speechless, she stood in front of Cassandra on the bed, as she felt a sting.
Slowly falling to the ground, he noticed what had caused his fall: a huge scorpion that was hiding behind the door. It moved its tail and applied venom with its stinger.
"What creatures are you!" The eunuch, hearing the screams, went to the room. "How did you get out of that door?"
"Human, actually a giant. We were sent here by the bearer of Hades's memory," the scorpion said, his voice deep. "I am Antares, and that one is Argos."
A huge peacock stood in front of Cassandra, its head rested on her forehead, a glow appeared, and she woke up.
— Antares, what did you do with Hana?
— I got even, I'm your guardian. Isn't it because of her that you're in this state?
"Yes, but it was my fault. What are you doing here? Wasn't Luis looking for Typhon's hiding place with your help, Argos?"
— Yes, ma'am. He found him, and by the time he arrived, he must have already infiltrated the area. He sent us here to give him some information. But first, could you introduce me to everyone?
The peacock, an elegant and polite being, flew out of the room. The scorpion's stinger flashed, and Hana regained consciousness. He left with the peacock.
—So you two must be Cassandra and Heleno's Aix, right?— In comparison, the peacock didn't even reach Mary's hips, and the scorpion, counting its tail, was a little taller than Amelia.
"Let me introduce myself properly. I'm Argos, the all-seeing peacock, the best mind of all. That scorpion is Antares, the being with impenetrable armor, the best body of all."
"Thank you for introducing me to Argos. We are the Aix who were left behind by Doctor Igor. We were taken in by Luis and Elizabeth, and we became the protectors of Cassandra and Dionysus."
Shouts rang out, and Cassandra, aware of this, walked toward the center of the commotion. Her skin was now like a sheet of paper; the long marks that once existed on her body had contorted into a tattoo that spread across her shoulder in the shape of the ivy plant.
Her hair took on its default color, and with a quick stroke, her hair returned to its original shape. Her piercings entered her lips as a result of the regeneration. With a pained expression, she bit her lips to push them back into place, causing her mouth to bleed. With this entire ritual, she returned to her normal form.
"Loser, you too?" Hana supported Cassandra and placed her in the chair. "I didn't know you had pets; they suit you perfectly."
"Yes, from what I saw, Antares liked you, he even gave you his paw, the little bite." Cassandra looked around. "Where's Dionísio?"
"He came in the door a while ago," Eunuch said, looking at the door. "Do you know where he might have gone?"
— Argos, find Dionysus. — Cassandra wiped her blood-stained lips.
The peacock spread its tail and moved to the center. The eye-like circles on its tail began to glow and open, and an image began to form—the silhouette of someone.
Long black hair, eyes as black as the darkness and a skin tone that matched the rest of his features, Luis was the bearer of the Dual Memory King, Hades himself reincarnated, behind him on the ground, red feathers scattered across the mountains, and black hands emerging.
"Cassandra and Heleno, I'll be quick. Elizabeth, Dionysus, and I have already begun to study the surroundings where Typhon is hiding."
"That's it. Cassandra, what Heleno gave you is a special medicine. I gave Mary a prescription. If she can mix the medicine with the items on the list, it's very likely you'll fully awaken your oath to Styx."
— But little sister, to fully awaken, you will have to defeat some Daemons, if you succeed, you will rise in rank, you will have the right to create your own squad to fight in this war.
Luis looked back, the focus of the image shifting to Luis's point of view. Daemons began attacking the three.
— I'll take care of them. — Said Dionysus.
He flapped his wings, and as he did so, the feathers fell away. In his hand appeared a staff wrapped in ivy and vine branches and topped with a pine cone. The feathers began to gather, taking on a female form. The woman took the staff, the Thyrsus of Dionysus, and advanced.
His frantic movements, the clumsy movement of his body, holding the Tirso, with a turn of his hand, the pine cone on the end became enormous, hitting all the Daemons at once, eliminating them.
— Be very careful, Cassandra.
"You already know the location of the Argos Daemons. I'd advise against going after the Daemons now. You're still recovering, so wait a couple of days. Take advantage of these vacation days to have as much fun as possible."
— Bye Sis!
Elizabeth, Louis, and Dionysus waved. The peacock closed its feather fan, and the door Eunuch was examining disappeared.
"Are you sure I'm not dreaming yet?" Amélia frowned. "So what does that mean?"
"That Aunt Elizabeth gave me the go-ahead to borrow Cassandra!" Hana laughed. "Now I'm getting married!"
