Prologue; The Child In The Prophecy

    

    

It was a dark and cold winter night when Velion, the God of wrath and evilness decided to invade the Kingdom of the Gods. He's too obsessed with power that he's eager to do everything just to rule all over the world. And to be able to do that, he must destroy the Heaven Realm  where the Gods and Goddesses are residing.

  

      "KILL EVERYONE!" His evil voice echoed along the whole place causing the Gods and Goddesses including their king Zeus to be in complete distress.

    

The smell of blood filled the air, millions of heavenly soldiers where killed due to the surprise attack of the evil King.

    

"We have to do something!" the queen of the Gods, Hera said angrily. Zeus held his wife's hand as if telling her that everything will be over soon.

    

"Father, we must protect my sister!" Aris spoke. He knows that his sister Aphrodite is currently giving birth to her second child. And her life could be at stake.

    

Zeus grabbed his weapon and threw it in the sky. The loud sound of thunders echoed and moments later volts of thunders were starting to strike on the enemies.

"HAHAHAHAHA, I'm not afraid of your power Zeus." Velion's voice again echoed the whole place.

    

"Show yourself! Stop hiding like a scared dog!" Zeus shouted angrily.

    

    

"HAHAHAHAHA, my dear friend now's not yet the right time to show myself," Velion said mockingly.

    

    

"Give me your grandchild, the one that's said to  end my wrath in the prophecy and I will set you all free!" Zeus became more angry when he heard what the evil king said. 

    

"Dream on Velion! You will never have my grandchild!" Zeus shouted back.

    

"Well then, DIE! Hahaha" 

"Is he referring to Aphrodite's child?" Athena asked her father after hearing what the evil Velion said.

    

Zeus slightly nod and created an electric ball in his hand.

    

"We have to protect Aphrodite and her child!" Athena said worriedly. 

    She was about to go inside their palace to look after her sister and niece when Hera grabbed her wrist. 

    

"Just trust your father on this. Now, go and fight those dark knights, we must end Velion's wrath tonight!" Hera ordered.

    

Athena nodded and flew into the air together with her brother Aris. They fought the dark knights together with their remaining heavenly soldiers.

    

"What shall we do now?" Hestia, Zeus' elder sister asked worriedly.

   

The electric ball that Zeus made turned into a beautiful golden necklace with a golden heart pendant.  He gave it to his sister.

    

"Take this to Aphrodite and let her daughter wear this necklace. Then you have to bring the child to the mortal world so that we could protect her from Velion!" Zeus ordered.

    

    Hestia took the necklace from her brother's hand and hurriedly went to Aphrodite's chamber. When she arrived their she saw her carrying her baby in her arms. Some palace maids were panicking due to the commotion outside.

    

    "What's going on aunt Hestia?" Aphrodite asked her aunt worriedly. Hestia took three deep breathes to calm herself before she spoke.

    

    "We are under attack. Velion wants your child dead and we can't let that happen. So we have to take your child to the mortal world to save her," she explained.

    

 Aphrodite's tears began to fall. She could never imagine that after giving birth she have to bid farewell to her child.  But she knows that her daughter's safety is much more important. She gently kisses her forehead and she felt a pang in her chest when her daughter cries. It's as if telling her that she wants to stay with her. But she has no choice.

    

    "In the right time you will be back here to fulfill your destiny and be with me and your older brother Eros. But for now we have to keep you safe first. And sending you to the mortal world is the only thing we could do to save your life," she explained to her daughter with her tears falling like a river making it's way to the sea.

    

    She carefully gave her daughter to her aunt, Hestia. Hestia then puts the necklace Zeus gave her in the baby's neck. After that she created a portal and with the use of her power she let the poor child flew inside it. 

    

    "See you soon my princess," Aphrodite whispered as she watch her daughter and the portal slowly fading away..
