Ten minutes ago.
In a cave very dark cave,two distinct voices could be heard."You've failed ghost of Sparta" a feminine yet dull and cold voice that sends shivers down one's spine sounded.Her voice was like some who was in a deep slumber "All i need is his blood.when the time comes you can do whatever you wish with him""I didn't fail" if shield was present he would have recognized this voice as belonging to the person that attacked him earlier. "Hades has seen to it that i am unable to stay in the mortal realm for long. I need to journey to the outer parts of the underworld,to the doors of death. Then will my restrictions be removed". "Very well then,but don't you dare fail me kratos. You belong to me. It was only through my help that you were able to destroy Olympus and that wount be for long. The skies are ragging,the seas are churning and the gods of Olympus are awakening. If and when it happens you wount be so lucky next time" the whispering voice sounded."I slayed the gods of Olympus with my bare hands" he bellowed "how much more a mere son of Hermes.Even his father trembled at my feet""Don't get ahead of yourself kratos. Just because you fought the gods in their materialized form doesn't mean you are more powerful than the gods. Do not forget the prophecy. Get me his blood before the next eclipse else you will perish under the fury of Olympus" the voice echoed.Minutes later a white figure with red tattoos round its body could be seen coming out of the cave and then descend the mountain. My P.O.VAs i entered the interior of the tomb,i followed the steps that kept spiralling deeper into the ground. Everywhere was dark except for the light produced from my phone. I kept descending as the steps seemed endless. The Walls on both sides of the steps were black and very smooth.Guess it were made of the Same material as the tomb. After walking for what seemed like an eternity, i finally stepped into a short corridor.when i got to the end of the corridor i saw a door which had no handle. All that was on the door was a palm imprint at its side. I placed my palm on the imprint and strangely it fitted perfectly.A golden light glowed on my palm then the door slid up to reveal a pure white room that gave off a lonley yet peaceful feeling. I walked in with the door closing behind me. The room was almost empty left for a rectangular table with a chair on both ends."You know if you had ran,at your speed it wouldn't have taken you two seconds to get here" a voice sounded behind me. I was shocked cos i was sure there was nobody in the room when I entered. I turned and saw a man. He had a glowing fair skin and was dressed in something like a white sleeveless gown that stopped at his knees. He was rather average in height but had perfectly chiseled muscles. His face was similarly handsome with sharp and angled eyebrows. His eyes were sharp with golden iris giving off a mystical flair. His golden hair was burning fire with each hair strand moving like it were alive.he had a golden band round his head. He had a pair of golden sandals which had small wings on each sides. In his right hand he wielded a sceptre with wings at the head and two snakes spiralling round it,one gold and the other silver. The two snakes were alive as the were bickering with incoherent language."I know you have a lot of questions" the man said interrupting my observations "but ill suggest you first take a sit" he said while appearing on one of the chairs and gesturing for me to take the other."Who are you?" I asked still wary of him, though i didn't feel any threat from him."Over the ages I've gone by many names" he said with playfulness in his eyes "some call me the god of theieves,of trade and shepherding, travels, medicine, dreams and others. My comrades call me Hermes,but you can call me -your father" he elucidated. A deafening silence ensued."You... father.... how?"....those were the only words i found myself saying as my brain went blank...Authors Note:hi, thanks for reading 'heremes heir'. Please if you see any description of a character, place or myth as wrong,it is mostly done for plot purpose. Of course am open to further discussion. Thanks.Austin's POVI really found it hard to believe what shield told me: that he got bitten by talking snakes,can run at super human speed,has golden blood and many more absurd stuffs that he told me about. I can't believe that my buddy that ive known for a long time had become someone different overnight. If i didn't see that being that tried killing us,i would have taken him to be sick. I hope he gets the answer he deserves though. I sat down and Waited for him to come out. After some time he walked out of the tomb with a gloomy expression."Hey man what happened,whats wrong?" I asked while standing up and rushing to where he was." I don't know man" he said while scratching his head " am really confused about everything about me. I need to talk to my mom .i need to get home,ill fill you in tomorrow.thanks man and sorry for putting you in danger.well see tomorrow"he said while rushing to where the bicycle was and i followed after him.MY POV
Next day in school I was at the schools corridor heading towards my locker.Everywhere was bustling as everyone was rushing to their class. I looked around hoping to see Austin buh i was unable to find him"maybe he's in class"i told myselfUpon getting to my locker i input my code and it opened .put my bag inside and removed the books am gonna need for the next class. when i was done i closed the locker only to find the once rowdy passage very quiet and there was no one present...it was strange cos even if it was time for first lecture buh some students will still hang around but everywhere was eerily quiet."hello" i called but got no reply. while i was still standing around the lights went off and everywhere went dark. scared i immediately brought my phone out and switched on its flash light. i started hearing footsteps heading towards the bathroom. I rushed down there only to find no one"hello anyone around" i shouted only to be answered by the echoes
I held her hands as we talked and laughed about God knows what,i stared at her ever smiling face with the moon reflecting on her face making her beauty breath taking."what?" She asks. "Youre dazzling" i reply. She smiles even more which makes my heart skips a beat. Our eyes meets and time freezes.Don't know who started but our head starts closing the space between us till our lips are half an inch apart. I instinctively close my eyes awaiting that soft touch then> "Ahhh! Damn alarm" i cursed .Ive got no choice. l need to get up else the next alarm will be from mom. checked my phone and i have just one message from my best buddy Austin." Youre sick" i replied. Jumped off bed and rushed to the bathroom. few minutes later am done freshing up.walked in to the kitchen and mom is done packing up my food." Good morning mom". "Morning dear how was your night?" She asked. Remembering the dream i just had i smiled to myself. "whats funny?" She asks?. "Not
Upon getting to the tomb we parked our bicycles near one tree around. The place was eerily quiet. And the surroundings we're a very bushy. we had to wade our way through the bushes to get to the entrance but it was locked when we got there.." Ok then i guess we'll have to go back,its locked" i said." Idiot" Austin retorted." Did you expect us to find the entrance open for us to walk in like the owners? Well have to jump over the fence to get in" " Am having a bad feeling about this bro,i think we should just go back. who knows the reason this place has been locked up for so long and who knows if this place is hunted" i said starting to feel anxious." Gosh, i thought we've talked about this already stop being a scared little puppy and come lets jump in" Austin scolded." If anything happens, its all on you" i said before following him. the fence was low though so we were able to climb over and jump in. To be quite frank the tomb was like a big cuboid but it
I found myself in a forest running at unimaginable speed.Running from something that I don't know of.no matter how fast i run i seem unable to outrun it. The faster i run, the closer it gets to me. I keep screaming for help but no one seems to be around.my breathing is ragged and my clothes soaked in sweat and dirts are all over me. Despite all that is happening the forest is strangely quiet. I mistakenly tripped and fall, twisting my ankle in the process. I can't get up,i begin to crawl but its too late as i hear a voice that seems to belongs to a ghost say to me: "i am coming for you son of Hermes"The next thing I see is a saw shaped sword with chains wrapped around it handle flying towards my head at unimaginable speed.It seems to split the sky as it vibrates the real essence of destruction.I close my eyes as i await death The saw shaped sword makes its way to my neck and as it was about to sever my head from from my body i jerked up, opening up my eyes to see myself
Next morning>>My alarm woke me up.I seriously didn't feel like getting out of bed.i was tired,mentally.Stressed about all that has been happening recently..But i have no choice,i need to get to school cos ive missed lectures for some days now. I rushed into the bathroom and what i saw at the mirror left me shocked.my chest was broader and i had well defined abs."whats wrong with me" i wondered.now i still need to add this to my list of strange things happening to me recently,plus that of yesterday. opps! speaking about yesterday... lemme take you back a bit.I was really confused.didnt know where i was,nor where i should go.i calmed myself down and started thinking about what i should do and luckily my phone was still intact.I turned on my location in other to know where i was and was shocked to find out that i was in the neighboring town." Strange " i thought.I order an Uber to pick me up.and some hours later i was
Austin's pov.I felt something was wrong when shield told me that there's something that he needs to do.And i got more suspicious when he said 'alone'.I know him enough to know when something is bothering him.Even though he tries to act normal.I feel there's something different about him.Theres this aura that started surrounding him since he left the hospital.And. It seems to increase as time goes by.Anytime i look at him i see that glint in his eyes that makes me feel like looking at someone or something more superior to me And that has never happened before.Not even with Mrs Tina."What could be wrong?" I wonderedI mounted my bicycle with the intention of going home but I noticed that shield was taking a different route home.Its strange cos we hardly take that route since is longer than the one we usually take."I might as well as follow this guy and see what's going on" i reasoned. With that in mind i followed after him, though not getting clo
