A NEW POWER IS BORN…..
" From your blood shall rise a new beginning, a golden age for all ….but beware the dark powers that lurks within, its success spell doom for eternity"
SERAPHIM POV
Everything is in flames... Most of my companions...dead. I couldn't believe that after a peaceful and mundane existence, my fears are coming true...WAR IS COMING...and its all because of me... My name is Seraphim and I hold the answer to everlasting power...
As i huddled near the fire, tears flowed anew, I lost everyone I hold dear to my heart...I grew up not seeing my parents...I remember the good old days when all I have to worry is my tutor's wrath if I forgot to do my assignment ( I was home schooled)... A faint sound could be heard...SERAPHIM...SERAPHIM...SERAPHIM...
I woke up to my foster mother's loud voice... "Seraphim! Wake up! What kind of princess wakes at this late hour?"
"Mother... I'm awake! I'm awake!... jeezzzz... I thought a princess can sleep whenever she wanted?"
"What? In what dimension is that my dear? Hurry, today is your presentation as my daughter, I don't want you to be late. I need to talk to you before we go back to the palace..."
Of course, I grumbled all the way to the bathroom...all the way to the dressing room...and all the way to my room... there I found mother, Queen Makiling sitting on my bed, waiting for me.
"Alright mother, what is so important that you have to wake me up soooooo very early just to have a talk?"
"Seraphim...my child, I think it is time for you to know the truth..."
"That i'm adopted? I already know that. That my own mother left me in your care and never came back? I know that either... Father yelled all that to me when he got angry after I accidentally maim his dragon pet."
" He what?!" Why didn't you tell me? Yes, Adopted? that's true...as for your own mother leaving you in my care, she begged me to hide you for your protection, she said something along the lines of Makiling, please hide my daughter, it is not time yet for the world to know who she is...if she is captured, we are all dead..."
"Your father stayed to delay whatever is pursuing the three of you...your mother's fear that your pursuers might succeed in having you forced her to turn to me. We bind your powers with great difficulty, I had you covered with a fairy glamour to make you look like us...Annabeth left me with a journal detailing your history, your birth, your heritage...she told me she loved you very much, she kissed your forehead and ask me to give you this before your 11th birthday which is tomorrow...the day your powers will return to you full force...'
She hung a little magic pouch on my neck and showed me a pearl pendant shaped into a glowing trident before she placed it on my pouch together with a small weird looking scroll and the journal.
"This will help you control your powers so never lose it, never take it off your neck whatever you do. One touch and you can call your grandfather straight away. As for this scroll, give it your grandfather or your father's teacher Chiron."
"There is a reason why together with your princess lessons with Marilag, we also have you trained to fight alongside Makisig. It will aid you when the time comes for..."
Before mother could finish it, a loud explosion rattled the windows in my room, bits and pieces raining us both, mother erected a shield to protect us from more dangerous pieces but what I saw next, is something I will never forget...
