for Wilford Van Glaun in Mythological Vendetta
Suggested by jeanpaulvalley
Takes place a little over a year after the events of "Mythological Track". Gloria Salah, who lived quietly in London, is kidnapped by Italian mafiosi and taken to Naples, in order to meet an important head of the mafia : Ginevra Dimotti. She seeks to attract members of the "monsters" family to her, in order to take revenge for the death of her sister, Belladona Del Fierro. However, Ladon manages to free Gloria, before being captured himself. Salah can therefore go and find his friends in the Himalayas, so that they can prepare a new “family reunion” in order to rescue the one who helps her. Dimotti may have prepared a small "reception committee" for them, thanks in particular to military equipment and quite a few mercenaries, but she has no idea that for Typhon, Echidna and their children, family is the most sacred thing that exist !
