Here is my twisted COTT story, tell me what you think
Also, I am taking a break from my other stories because it has been a while and will continue on later. So for now, enjoy this story.
The Beginning
It was a cold and stormy night in New Olympia, Hermes, inside New Olympia High, flew down the passage way into the janitor's office, "Gotta tell Hera!" Hermes mumbled
Once he opened the door, and turned on the 'light' a blue portal like way opened up, "Gotta tell Hera." Hermes mumbled again. He flew through inside the blue portal and made it in safe, "Gotta tell Hera." He mumbled
He flew down to Hera's chambers and said, "It is time."
"I was afraid of that…" Hera mumbled and turned to Hermes, "Thank you Hermes, go and get the others, and quick"
Hermes nodded his head and flew down to collect the other gods and goddesses.
In a nick of time, Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Persephone, Hades, Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, Hercules and all of the other Greek gods and goddesses walked in, "What is the problem?" Aphrodite asked
"It is time," Hera began to walk to a crystal ball that glow a clear white colour, "to call the seven young heroes." The white ball showed seven teens covered in black
"You mean…" Persephone began to talk, but couldn't finish her sentence in fear that what she is thinking might be true
"Yes, Cronus will be free soon. And with that, the prophecy will come to life." Hera sighed
On the day of a new year
There will be fear
Cronus will be free
Out to rule the world
Causing pain,
Fear,
Confusion,
And death
However
Before his dreams come to life
Seven young heroes will be in his way
There will be the leader,
The hunter,
The brawns,
The warrior,
The fighter,
The brains
And the good luck
There will be twists and turns
One will hold many secrets
But the secrets will be let out over time
Never let the outside of someone fool you
For they may hid some secrets of their own
But blood isn't an easy thing to hide
Sometimes we need to appraise ourselves
To help hide how we really feel
For a lie
Can help some issues
Sickness isn't always easy to find,
For some people won't let anyone know
Until it is too late
You may think that family is everything
But one of the seven knows it isn't always true
For no home
Could mean a happy life
Because their family isn't the best
But they need to realise
Sometimes a home
Can mean a happy life
Never let what you see fool you
For one holds a secret life
A secret identity
But there will be one that will die at the end,
The betrayer,
The One
The bratrayer will follow and believe what Cronus has to say
But
This person, The One, is the key
They must give up their life
And have the world at peace
This prophesy will be asleep
Until it is time
To be awake
And at the end
Cronus will win
In a way you will never believe
"Do you know who the hero's are?" Persephone asked
"Yes I do," Hera said glowing her crystal ball again, "There is Jay, he is the leader, and he will lead the team to winning, and will fall in love with Theresa."
"Do you know which one secret he holds?" Persephone asked
"No, but we will find out over time." Hera sighed, "This one is Atlanta, she is the hunter, she will follow the trails that need to be followed, and she will fall in love with Archie."
"Do you know which secret she holds?" Persephone asked
"No." Hera said
"Do you know which one holds any secrets?" Aphrodite asked
"No." Hera smiled, "This one is Herry, he is the one with the strength, and he is the one that looks at the bright things at life."
"Herry, is he my…" Hercules mumbled
"Your descendant? Yes." Hera said, "There is the warrior, Archie, he is the one that will be ready to fight all the time, keep their eyes open, he will fall in love with Atlanta."
"True love…" Aphrodite sighed lovingly
"This one here is Theresa, she is the fighter, she has a natural sense of direction, and a sixth sense, she will lead them on their way when they are confused, and she will fall in love with Jay." Hera spoke
"Archie and Atlanta, Jay and Theresa… what a great sound, the so belong together!" Aphrodite cheered
"Odie, here is the brains, when there is a riddle to solve, he has it figured out before you can finish the reading the riddle, he is needed to help figure out strageties to capture Cronus." Hera spoke with some venom in her mouth when she said Cronus
"Then there is Neil, he is the good luck, with him by their side, they will always win, and they make them seven." Hera said dimming the crystal ball.
"There is one thing that concerns me…" Hades spoke suddenly
"What is that Hades?" Everyone asked
"At the end of the prophecy, it said that Cronus will win… in a way we won't believe…" Hade asked concerned
"We need to wait and see with what happens…" Hera sighed
With that, the screen turns jet black
Jay was out sailing, enjoying the nice win rushing against his face, "This is the life." He spoke dreamingly. Then suddenly, a huge wave came and it made him fall off this sail boat, "What is that?"
There he saw a giant, red giant rising from the water, Jay just floated there shocked of what was going on and then started swimming to the land, only to have a hand grab his arm. "Careful there buddy, that giant doesn't fight fair."
"Who are you?" Jay asked
"I am Hermes."
"Hermes? The messenger of the gods?" Jay asked shocked
"People only remember me by just that..." Hermes sighed, and then he smiled and said, "We need to pick up some more people."
"What?" Jay asked confused
"Don't worry. I'll explain everything when it is time." Hermes winked
Atlanta was walking around the forest, she wanted to be alone but her parents made her bring her two brothers. "Atlanta! I'm bored!" her younger brother wined
"Well, if you didn't want to come then you should have stayed home,"Atlanta snapped
"But-" her older brother said
"But nothing. Now if you don't stop talking, I'm going to make you." Hissed Atlanta
"I'm telling dad!" other brothers cried out
"Fine by me."Atlanta said then turned around and saw a deer, "Now, do me a favour, be quiet... there is a deer."
"Make us." her little brother stated
Atlanta turned around in fury and saw the her two brothers were shacking
"Shut up or I'm going to make you."Atlanta hissed. Both brothers started to point behind Atlanta, "What is it. A deer?"Atlanta said starting to turn around, "What is so scary about a-" she just stopped talking a saw a huge monster in front of her, "A huge monster!" when she turned around she saw her two brothers already left
Usually she would roll her eyes and run but there was monster so she just ran for it! After a few moments she noticed that everything was faster than usual, "That's weird..."
She then came upon a long stick and decided that she should just stop running and start fighting, "Ready or not, I am ready to fight you monster!"Atlanta hissed
Atlanta was waiting for the monster to come. She could see the trees shake, over and over again... she tightened her grip on her stick waiting for the monster to come then something grabbed her from behind. She let out a scream of fright and then noticed she was in the air
"What?" was all she could say
"Don't worry, I don't know either..." Jay said , "I'm Jay by the way."
"Atlanta." was all she could say
"Okay, so we have Jay and Atlanta... time to get Herry." Hermes spoke
"Who is he?"Atlanta asked Jay
"He is Hermes... he messenger of the gods." Jay said looking atAtlanta, "The Greek gods."
"Huh?"Atlanta asked confused, "What does this got to do with us?"
"Hermes sad he will tell us when it is time." Jay shrugged
"NanI'm going out for a walk!" Herry yelled out
"Okay, be back soon." Nan yelled out
Herry walked away from his Nan's home, "This is the life." Herry said breathing in the clean air. He then saw an apple tree, "Well, I am hungry..."
He then walked over to the tree to grab an apple but a giant pushed over the tree, "Hey, I was going to have an apple!" when he looked up and saw two giants, "But hey, I wasn't that hungry..." he said walking backwards
The two giants ran to Herry and managed to hold his arms and lifted him up, "Sorry guys but I want to leave." so with that he somehow managed to drag himself down along with the two giants and lifted them up and smacked them on the ground, "Take that!" Herry yelled then he realised what he done, "Wait... how did I do that?" he asked himself
Suddenly he was lifted up into the sky, he was about to yell again but a voice began to speak, "Don't worry, we are here." he looked up and saw a brunet guy and a red head girl
"What is happening?" Herry asked
"All will be revealed in due time." Hermes said
"Who is that?" Herry asked
"That is Hermes... he is the messenger of the gods... Greek gods." Jay said, "I'm Jay and this is Atlanta."
"Nice to meet you."Atlanta said smiling
"Okay, we have Jay,Atlanta and Herry... time to get Theresa." Hermes said guiding the griffins to a new direction
Theresa sighed, it was her sixteenth birthday and her dad didn't get her anything... at the moment he is away on business. So she is home alone, on her birthday.
"I wish that something exciting will happen..." Theresa said to herself
After a few hours she decided to go for a nice long walk. So she grabbed her jacket and walked out, and walked aimlessly around not noticing where she is
Once when her mind was with her again, she noticed that she was at the park by herself. At first she would have continued walking but she had a strange feeling inside her telling her that she needed to leave... but she decided against it.
As she walked to a swing set and sat down on it the ground began to rumble, "What's going on... we don't usually have earthquakes..."
When she looked up she saw a huge, red giant. "Hey... what's up." Theresa said trying to calm down the giant
"Arg!" was all she got from the giant
"Nice to meet you and all... but I need to go..." Theresa said walking backwards, only to have the giant follow her every move.
Then it started to attack her. She then jumped on top on the giant and held on to his neck, "Just chill out will you." Theresa yelled with her eyes closed. When she opened them she saw that the giants hand was heading straight to her so she let go if the neck and fell on the ground. With that, she ran off into the wood part of the park
She continued to run until she was at a cliff at its end. She quickly turned around prepared to fight. When the giant come into view, she instinct told her to jump off the edge
"Instincts, don't fail me now." Theresa said as her last words when she took a step back and fell off the cliff
She started to scream as her body began to face her head down towards the ground. Suddenly, as she was waiting for the impact of the earth, she felt someone holding on her waist, "Are you okay?" a guy asked
Theresa looked up and said, "Yeah... thank you."
The guy just smiled and lifted her in front of him on his griffin, "What's going on?" Theresa asked, "And what was that thing?"
A girl with red her turned to her and said, "We don't know much but we will soon. And that thing is a giant. I'm Atlanta by the way."
"Okay... I'm Theresa." Theresa replied
There was another guy with a green shirt that said, "I'm Herry!"
"Nice to meet you Herry." Theresa smiled
"And I'm Jay." Jay said behind her
"Nice to meet you too Jay... and thank you for saving my life." Theresa said smiling
"Okay, I'm Hermes and we need to collect Archie." Hermes said looking forward
Archie was sitting underneath a tree in the shade as he wrote his poem.
The Truth stands before me,
On my left is a blazing fire, and
On my right, a cool flowing stream.
One group of people walk toward the fire, into the fire,
And the other towards the cool flowing waters.
No one knows which is blessed and which is not.
But just as a just as someone enters the fire,
That head bobs up from the water,
And just as a head sinks into the water,
That face appears in the fire.
Those who love the sweet water of pleasure
And make it their devotion are cheated by this reversal.
The deception goes further-
The voice of the fire says:
"I am not fire, I am fountainhead,
Come into me and don't mind the sparks."
Once when Archie finished writing that poem he packed up his gear and started to leave the tree. But before he could leave the cool shadow a giant polar bear, giant walked in front of him.
"And I am guessing this is my que to fight." Archie said as he was ready to fight
Before the giant could make a single move, Archie was swooped off his feet and into the air, "Hey! I wanted to fight him!" Archie yelled
"I don't think so, you would lose." a girl with red hair on his right side said once when he was on a griffin's back, "I'm Atlanta."
"Herry!" Herry greeted on his left side
"I'm Jay." Jay greeted
"And I'm Theresa." Theresa smiled
"Hey, I'm Archie." Archie began, "Does anybody know what is going on."
"I do!" Hermes yelled out
"Who is he?" Archie asked
"That is Hermes... the messenger of the gods... Greek gods." Jay said looking at Hermes
"What is going on?" Archie asked Hermes
"I can't tell you until we have everyone... We just need to pick up Odie and Neil." Hermes said while guiding the griffins, "Next person, Odie!"
Odie was slowly walking home, he didn't know what to do with his life. It was so confusing.
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice a yellow giant stood before him until he walked straight into its leg, "Oops, sorry..." Odie looked to see a yellow leg and a giant, "giant..." he squeaked as he turned the other way and ran for his life
As he was running, he took note as to what the giant's habits were... for instance, every turn he made, the giant had a harder time turning the corner then he did and when the line was straight, he could catch up quicker...
"Let's see... if I take this corner..." Odie spoke as he took a left, "and then this corner..." he then took another left, "and quickly go into this door way out of the giant's eye sight..." Odie mumbled as he entered a doorway and saw the giant run straight past him, "And then go the other way, I am in the lead."
Odie then ran the other way and headed to no where in particular. Just then, about ten minuets later he heard the giant, at first he would have continued his stragety but he was at a dead end.
"Okay so there is a yellow giant... a dead end and soon a dead man... not good." Odie said as he tried to think of a way out.
The giant was about eight feet away from Odie. Odie closed his eyes waiting for the kill to be done on him, "For my last words... they shall be 'Now I know what it is like in a slaughter house' yeah, that's good."
Instead of feeling the impact of the giant's hand on his small body, he felt an arm around him, "Don't worry, your safe now." a dark brown haired guy said
"Thanks." Odie said looking at his scenery, "What is going on... and are we really flying on griffins?"
"We don't know much... I'm Jay, this is Theresa, Atlanta, Archie and Herry." Jay said taking the leader role, "And also we have Hermes..."
"Hermes... the god of the messengers Hermes?" Odie asked confused
"Yeah." Everyone said at once
After a few moments of silence Odie managed to say, "Cool!"
"Okay time to collect Neil," Hermes said looking forward, "And yes, I mean the model Neil."
"You mean, the guy we are now going to collect is a model?"Atlanta asked while yelling, "Let me guess, he has a killer smile?"
Everyone laughed a little then Archie said, "And his saying is 'Looks can kill'."
Again, everyone laughed until Hermes spoke up, "Don't under estimate him... without him, you guys would have no luck."
"Why? Do we need seven people to do what we need to do?" Jay asked
"Yes... and he has the good luck." Hermes said still looking forward
"Then why are we needed?" Herry asked
"I'll tell you all soon." Hermes said still looking forward
Neil we stilling on a bus seat waiting for the crew to arrive. They were half an hour late! Neil gave them five more minuets then he would head off.
What he didn't know was that a red giant we hunting him down. While he was still sitting, the giant was slowly walking to him. Once when the five minuets passed he stood up and walked off. However the giant tripped over the seat and landed with a loud crash
Neil didn't bother to look back as he continued to walk. The giant quickly stood up and ran to Neil, only to have Neil turn a corner while made the giant to lose him as he continued to run forward. When the giant realised that Neil wasn't in front of him he turned back and turned the corner.
The giant saw that Neil was standing in the middle of the room and looking at him mirror. Smiling, the giant slowly crept up the Neil ready to grab him. Only for Neil to see him in his mirror and turn around and say, "Hey, what's the big deal? You are following me everywhere."
When Neil finished talking, the giant grabbed Neil's mirror which made Neil scream! Fussing over the mirror, the giant was ready to attack Neil. This was his one and only chance to please his master. He was about one second away. The giant was like a lion ready for the kill. He had one easy swift move. He was about one centimetre away from grabbing him!
Only to have a griffin come down and take him away.
"Hey, what about my mirror!" Neil yelled
"What about your mirror?" A red haired girl hissed, "We just saved you!"
"Sorry, sorry." Neil said sighing, "Hey I'm Neil by the way."
"I'm Jay and this is Theresa, Atlanta, Archie, Odie and Herry. And he is Hermes... the messenger of the gods... Greek gods." Jay said introducing everyone
"Nice to meet you all. Now... why am I hear?" Neil asked
"We don't know at the moment but Hermes said that we will find out in due time." Herry said behind Neil
"Hey Hermes. How is it going? Why are we here?" Neil asked
Sighing, Hermes then turned out around and started to point to everyone when he said their name, "Jay is the leader and he is the descendant of Jason. Atlanta is the hunter and she is the descendant of Atalanta. Herry is the Brawns and is the descendant of Hercules. Archie is the warrior and he is the descendant of Achilles. Theresa is the Fighter and she is the descendant of Theseus. Odie is the Brains and he is the descendant of Odyssey. And Neil is the good luck... also the good looking, and he is the descendant of Narcissus."
Everyone was shocked at first that Hermes answered Neil and also that they were a desendant of great heroes in the Greek history, "And?" Neil asked unfazed
"And you are needed to fight Cronus... the god of time and space." Hermes said with a sigh, "Hera will tell you the rest."
Okay, there you have it. What do you think? Continue or delete?
Also, the poem was made by Rumi
