Artemisa bid the spirit farewell, and left with the dagger. Hades was still in the newly formed sea by the mighty mountain, and that is where she would now go. She had a weapon and knowledge, everything she needed. She would find Hades. She again walked across uneven, slippery, steep ground. She traveled all through the eighth day of slumber on the mountain. On the ninth day, she found the sea, and she swam down. Giant bronze fish and sea beats tried again and again to kill her, but every time she drew her dagger and cut their hearts. She swam down for all the day. When the next day came, she reached the bottom and found the deep footprints of the two evil gods. She followed the footprints, and they led her to land, and then the foot of the mighty mountain of the gods.
