Apollo's eyes danced in emerald flames, a green glow illuminated the white marble halls in a light mint.
"An oath is a serious thing."
Apollo recited, in a confused raspy voice.
"An oath ought to be taken seriously."
Further confusion filled the room in the mint light. My family shared frowning glances with each other. The Oracle never used Apollo to recite its prophecies before. It also seemed to be losing its poetry edge.
"One moment, please. I am new at this."
It murmured to its self, eye brows furrowed, Apollo started scratching its chin as if he was deep in thought.
"Oaths are a bad thing to break."
The Oracle tried again with no success. It sighed deeply and locked eyes with me suddenly with a surge of confidence and a smile along with a snap of fingers.
"An oath made under the Moon's birthright,
will curse the world without light,
the world will rid of corruption and evil or,
have no hope to save,
the choices she makes will rave for centuries or raze for eternity."
"Together with a beloved,
she will raise a child of who she claims her own,
the child alone will face the great unknown."
Apollo/Oracle recited with a grin and after looking a round at us, shrugged at our reactions. The mint glow disapeared from Apollo and my brother dropped down onto the ground on all fours.
He got up with a smile on his face and dusted himself. "The Oracle forgot its prophecy and asked me to help it make one!" He said with such enthusiasm that made me want to punch him. His eyes met mine and the pride dimmed slightly but was still clearly visible, "Ah, sorry sis, it was not my choice but the poem was good right?"
"Right?" he repeated louder with a prideful grin once again and looked around the council seeking praise. As my daggers flashed in my hands, his grin faltered to a fearful look and froze as he saw what was in my hands.
Author's Note - Edited
This is my first time using the website for fanfiction. So let me off the hook for this first few chapters to get used to the format please. I will have random hiatus from time to time but will try to update short chapters weekly.
My writing skills are not that good, I am a student still after all, hopefully my non-existent skills will not make you cringe.
I guess I will see you guys next chapter. Do comment your thoughts! (Does comments exist in this site? Its called Reviews right?)
