The second story I wrote for that school project. It has characters from Flash staring as the characters! Again no Batman. Have fun!

1. Chapter 1

Theseus and the Minotaur

Chapter 1: Origin

Once upon a time in a faraway land a young king ruled the city of Athens. He had no wives and no heir to take the throne when he died. So one day he went to the Oracle of Delphi and asked her how he would receive an heir. She told him to avoid women until he returned to Athens and that his son shall have a noble mother and the blood of the gods. He then left confused and bewildered.

On his way home he went through the country of Troezen. He met the king of Troezen, Pittheus, and the king's niece, Aethra. The king of Athens stayed with them for several days and he also fell in love with Aethra in that time as well. They were soon married despite the words of the Oracle of Delphi. Now Aethra also had a secret lover, the one and only Poisdon. She and him were in love and so this is were things get complicated.

Now Aethra became pregnant and was getting ready to give birth. That was around the time when the king of Athens had to leave. He couldn't take his son to Athens for he knew that he would never live past a few years of age since he had many enemies and they all wanted to be king. Before he left he hid sandals and his sword behind a heavy, large bolder so that if it was a boy when he was old enough he would remove the bolder and go to Athens. Now neither of them knew who the father was it the king of Athens or Poisdon.

The child was born and was named Theseus, which means the gathering. He grew and became very strong and he stayed with his mother for seventeen years of his life. He kept bandits and monsters away from Troezen and was a good son and both Poisdon and Athens's king would have been proud of him. It is still unknown to us and to them who was the father. It was before technology might I remind you and DNA matching computers. He also was fast on feet and was swift and very, VERY fast.

As years went by the king waited and waited at Athens in hopes that one day the boy would return to him in Athens. That one day his son would come back to him and become the next king.
