Zac’s POVThe father that I have grown up with is a far cry from my biological father. Thomas Oliver is an honest farmer who supported his family with whatever he made in the ranch and from the garden that he and our mother had carefully tended. We grew up eating farm fresh produce and scraped our knees running away from him whenever we are in trouble, because Thomas is a huge fan of discipline. We grew up dreading lies and cutting classes because we fear beatings. He is a huge man but he has a very soft heart and that is why my brothers and I loved him and mom.And here is the deal, I just learned that I have a different set of parents and that I am not a pure bred human, turns out I am like a real life Hercules. The only sad part is--Hercules died. I was transported like a bag of beans through and from the underworld. I met one of my uncles and there is one more down at sea.I have a very dysfunctional family and I have to suck it up, simply because I don’t want to be a hero , I wa
“I don’t think that anomaly will ever show up, Harvey.” On of Harvey’s men observed, he sounded impatient and bored to death. They have been on the watch for hours now while Harvey spent his waiting in a hotel room, sipping champagne and lazily flipping through month old magazine issue of women in bikinis. They were all in the dark, hidden among the bushes and trees that was not far away from the Oliver residence.They camped here to be near the food that they will devour later, should all else go south. Zachary’s folks just got home from that cabin picnic that they had been too. They watched them there too. They saw three cars pull over the garage. One belonged to the parents, the blue jeep to the older brother and his heavily pregnant wife and the last jeep belonged to the younger sibling. No Zachary or Helena on sight. Those two might be runming away for their lives right now. It doesn't matter for him. He will find them wherever they decide to stay. No one runs away from Harvey S
Panting,sweaty, exhilarated. Zachary felt awesome.He never thought that he had it in him for he had never held a weapon in his life. His mother said something about unlocking his true potential as an Elven mage. Elves are excellent fighters and Mages have unparalleled control in nature and he was also part God.None of Harvey’s men survived his bolt. Except for Harvey himself. He knew that he would try to escape if he sees his men die one after the other, because men like Harvey always does that--cower at one corner and pray that they won’t be noticed. Zac kept him alive because he and Harvey have a score to settle.Zachary was no fool to not pay attention to the man who, if left unkilled; will always come back again and again to harm his family. He sliced him on his leg, while he kill the rest--Harvey fled, but he cannot teleport at that state. He will just have to use his sin-eater skills to hide. But, there was no hiding from his predator now. No, the henchman will be no longer in
Zeus and Freya was still arguing when they finally noticed that their son was gone and so was his bolt. He had a smug grin on his face when he finally found the heir that is worthy of the bolt.“What are you grinning at?” Freya said.“You know what this means, don’t you?” “That you are an asshole for underestimating my son?”“He is also my son.”“Oh, now he is?”“I have to annoy him so we don’t have to force him into wielding the bolt. He did i on his own accord and the bolt chose him!”“That was your parenting skill?!” Freya could not believe how Zeus handled this. It worked but it was annoying and Zeus was so proud of himself.“I am sorry for all the times that we wasted without each other, Freya. You know I still loved you. I never stopped.”Freya did not stop loving the God too. The truth was, she had never loved anyone after Zeus. Elves, like the creatures of the dark can only love once and her love of her life was unfortunately the God of thunder, the father of her son. How can
“We will.”Zeus’ voice boomed from the upper staircase. It was not just him. There was Poseidon and Hades and Freya.When Persephone saw her husband free, she was furious. ” Who let you out?”Hades took a few steps and touched a half creature and it quickly turned into a heap of dust. Those who were in a close proximity to the ascending God of the underworld took a few steps back.the Hades she left imprisoned in his own kingdom that looked sad, poor and unshaven was very different as he came closer.“Dear wife, you believed that you are smart, but I am cunning and I would like to thank my nephew here for finally following my orders to the T. ““You’re welcome uncle.” Zac said and he bowed low.“Impossible.”“I will tell you what is impossible, okay? Releasing the man who put us all in danger is impossible.”“Why, because you will try to stop me?”“We won’t do that. We are only here to get rid of the monstrosities that our father unleashed to make it fair and square. Zac will take care
Zac’s POVHelena have this weird and crazy idea that I do not know if I should give it a shot or no. He was a quarter close to successfully freeing himself from the containment box. It is now or never really. I try to focus on the people I love. My family in Texas who by now might be calling the police and dead worried because me and my girlfriend had been missing. My biological parents who are now mourning the death of my uncle Hades who did his best to convince his wife to call it quits.Helena’s losses. Her entire family was taken from her. She deserved to be happy with a family of her own and he badly wanted to get out of here alive and to continue living his life.With this in mind, Zac runs and jumps inside the containment box to everyone’s horror.“You! What did you told him to do?” Freya panicked when she saw what Zachary chose to do.“I-I told him to use the bolt to shut the lid and weld it together. I did not ask him to jump into this own death!”Inside the containment box.
The cave that leads to the endless tunnel and cave where Cronos’ body and containment box was locked and double locked. Freya, made sure of that, she used all the ancient runes that she knew of and exhausted every containment magic she had to ensure that the door will never be found.Zachary was wounded and because a God had given her these wounds, it did not heal right away.his mother gave him some healing leaves to alleviate the pain because they won’t go off right now. They will be like mortal wounds. The whole nine yards. He was just glad that Helena stood by him through all these fights and battles and there is just one thing that he would want to hear from her right now.“Some day, huh?” he voiced out for everyone to hear.“Yeah, some day.” Zeus answered. He and Freya were now huddled up against each other. “Sooo, you two are like okay now?”As an answer to that, Zeus gave Freya a quick kiss on the lips which soon developed into a passionate kiss. Zachary covered Helena’s eyes
“Oh my God! I found my gift!” “Yes, you did.” Zac was so happy for Helena, he truly was. For so long , all she wanted was to discover her gift because it had been one of her greatest frustrations and now that she had found hers. She was always envious of Maddox who got his gift early and the rest of the sin-eaters who did not had a hard time finding what they were endowed.he only wish that they were another gift, Damn, she had two. “Are you having second thoughts now in marrying me?” Helena knew how his mind works now, nbut she was wrong in thinking abut the second thoughts. “What? No. Just because your gifts are extra deadly combination for a soon to be husband---you think I am gonna be scared? Well, let me tell you one thing, Miss Mountbatten and you have to listen very carefully---I am not scared of you or you powers, I have my own powers too.” Zac was now a full pledged Elven Mage and a demi God, he has a range of powers that none of the other Gods had and his parents could ne
