A Betrayal as Deep as the Underworld

Hmph. Another tale of greed. A woman named Catalina Corona, a personal assistant no less, has admitted to stealing ten million of your American dollars. From an old man. And his wife. I have seen gods fall for less, but this… this is pathetic. She used pens and papers, not blades and strength. Such is the way of mortals; always finding new ways to disappoint.

The Wages of Dishonor

This Corona, she pilfered their wealth, claiming it as her own, spending it on trinkets and baubles from Gucci and Cartier, appeasing some inner demon with fleeting pleasures. She even continued her treachery after the old man, Richard Schmeelk, departed for whatever afterlife awaits mortals. He served in wars, built empires and was part of the Catholic church but the woman kept looting even after his death. It reminds me of the time I faced the Chimera – a beast of many heads, each demanding its due. This woman is like that beast, but instead of fire, she breathes deceit.

Tools of Treachery

She used checks, they say. And impersonation. Tools as subtle as a whisper, yet as destructive as a tidal wave. She diverted funds like a river changing course, leaving a barren wasteland where trust once flowed. It is a dark reflection of my own past, where I was manipulated by the gods, led down a path of destruction. But I used strength, not deception.

Justice Served... or Is It?

Now, she faces thirty years in a cage. A fitting punishment, perhaps, but will it restore what she has taken? Will it ease the pain of those she wronged? 'The cycle ends here,' I once declared. But it seems the cycle of greed and betrayal continues, unabated, amongst mortals.

A Plague Upon the Elderly

This is not an isolated incident. They say elder fraud costs billions. Billions taken from those who have little time left. It is a sickness, a festering wound upon society. Mortals prey upon the weak, the vulnerable. It is a stain that will not easily wash away.

Reflections of a Warrior

I have battled gods, monsters, and Titans. But the darkness in the hearts of mortals… that is a battle without end. This Corona is but one example. A reminder that vigilance is the only weapon against such treachery. Remember this, mortals: Trust is a fragile thing. Guard it well. Or suffer the consequences.
