The Gift of the Gods
Prologue
[t.h.e.g.i.f.t.o.f.t.h.e.g.o.d.s.]
Ever since I turned four and I was proven to be the child of prophesy there have been constant attempts on my life. The people of Atlantis are a bunch of racist closed-minded bigots. They don't want the prophecy to come to pass, hence the assassination attempts. The child to unite all the races of Atlantis: the child who would end the four hundred year war between all the races.
I am the child of prophecy. I am to unite all of Atlantis, humankind, and the Gods. Humans are forgetting about the Greek gods and are replacing the true gods with new ones, and new religions. And I am to remind them and bring peace to them as well as Atlantis.
I am the child of prophecy. Not my twin brother, but me.
The day of my birth, the Gods and Goddesses gifted me. Their gifts were meant to help me in my quest given to me by the Fates.
Atlas gave me the burden to bear on my shoulders as he bears, the sky, on his.
Ares gave me manly courage, so that I may face the hardships that are to come.
Aphrodite gave me beauty.
Apollo made me truthful. I cannot lie.
Hephaestus gave me his ever-burning fire, to protect me and warm me.
Hermes gave me the gift of language so that I may communicate with all the races.
Poseidon gave me influence over water.
Prometheus gave me forethought.
Athena gave me wisdom, battle strategy, and reason so that I might lead, as a leader should.
Zeus gave me order.
And Hades gave me—what many consider the best gift, but I consider more of a curse—the ability to cheat death.
