When the Moirai Speak, You listen
Hecate, Titaness of Mist/Magic, sorcery, witch craft, crossroads, trivial knowledge and necromancy, was feeling very hesitant. She had been summoned to a cliffside cave a few miles east of an abandoned village in Greece. The message had been given to her by Hermes, who was busy and multitasking as usual for the Messenger God. The message had said' It is time for you to make plans for the soon coming rulers of the universe. Arrive at the coordinates below at the witching hour so that you may be included in the plans.'
That was it. No signature written, magical, or Godly could be derived from the parchment. Hecate had tried to use her power over the crossroads to see if she could get a glimpse of whom or what she would be meeting. No such luck. She'd asked Hermes who had given it to him. He'd replied that it was in his bag. No one had asked him to give it to her, he'd just opened his satchel and there it was. After she'd thanked him and he'd left in a flash of light, she pondered the note for the rest of the day while she continued the rest of her normal day to day activities. She didn't say anything to any of the other Gods or Goddesses that visited her. Not even to Persephone when she escorted her from the Underworld. Hecate was sure that something bad was going to happen, however she was confident that she'd be alright.
When she arrived at the edge of the cliff she spied a staircase made out of the rock formation that led down to the cave. When she arrived at the mouth of the cave she lit one of her torches and entered. Of all the things she had imagined it was not to run into the Moirai, also called the Fates. They stood together in a line together near the back of the cave. Clotho stood on the left of Lachesis who stood to the left of Atropos. Clotho was spinning a thread of life, Lachesis measuring the length of the life and Atropos eagerly waiting to cut that thread with her scissors.
"Welcome, Titaness Hecate," said Clotho, currently in possession of the one eye that the three of them share. "Greetings great sisters of Fate "replied Hecate as she bowed to the three.
"We've asked you here to decide the Fate of the world. Not only of the humans, but immortals, demigods, Gods, Titans, Primordial all the way to Chaos," said Atropos.
"But, why me?"
"Because Titaness, there will be several individuals that will need to be influenced by you. There will be several mortals that will need your blessings. Be they your friend, ally or enemy. You are the one who must put things into motion."
"And if I refuse?" asked Hecate.
"Then when Earth Mother rises, she will be unstoppable. There are two choices. One, you refuse and the Titans rise again only to be defeated. Soon after The Giants rise again to awaken Gaea. They too will be defeated. However this will be a continuous cycle. War followed by a few years of peace. Then there will be another war. And it will go on and on. Demigods and humans dying, Gods, Titans and monsters being sent to Tartarus, just to come back and to be defeated and sent back to the Pit," said Lachesis.
"Option two, you agree to do what needs to be done, Titans and Giants rise again to overthrow Olympus -"begins Clotho.
"Pardon me, but are you saying that the Giants, Titans and the Earth Mother rising again is inevitable no matter what I decide?" interrupted Hecate as she paced back and forth in front of the Moirai.
"Yes, Titaness," answered Atropos "It is evitable because time wants to happen. However we have a solution that while it will not end the wars, it will give us victory each and every time."
Hecate continued to pace as she thought over the choices. She knew which way was the right one, but she just needed to work up her nerve to say it. After a few more moments of pacing she turned to the Moirai and gave her answer.
"I'll do it."
The three sisters just smiled as Atropos snipped the life thread and Lachesis handed the Titaness a role parchment with the names of eleven demigods with dates beside each name. Hecate noticed that none of the demigods had been born yet, but two were to be born in three hundred years. Then the rest would come along about seventy years later. Next to the names of the yet to be born demigods were several names of Gods, Goddesses, Titans and even a few of the Primordial. Then her eyes widened in shock as she even saw her Roman name listed along with several other Romans deities. She looked up to speak to the Moirai but, they were gone.
310 Years Later
Standing in a secret room, created by herself, of the Lotus Hotel and Casino that the Lotus Eaters had created and let her use, Hecate waited as the eleven demigods from the list the Moirai had given her filed into the room, dressed nice and elegantly. She had decided that she would not force them to continue training up until the very last minute when they would depart from the hotel. Tonight would be a night of dancing and goodbyes. There would be some tears and laughter but it help them not miss each other too much. She would let them communicate with each other a little bit but not enough to draw attention. Over the last six years she had been training them, in secret, with help from some of their parents, deceased children of some their parents and even a few humans. Time passed differently in the hotel. While twenty four hours outside the hotel was considered one day, inside it was a year. Thankfully she had cast a spell on the children that would keep them in the body of their normal age. Honestly what good would eleven elderly people be to any cause? None. She had to admit for over two thousand years old the children looked spectacular. She wasn't considered the Titaness of magic for nothing.
Once they were standing before her, four neat rows of three, thought the last only had two demigods standing in it, she began to speak. "My children, tomorrow begins the dawn of a new age. All of the training you have done will finally be put to good use. To the seven of you who will be going to Hogwarts tomorrow, I wish you good luck and give you my blessing and please no matter what House the Hat places you in, don't let anything come between you. To the one heading for Camp Jupiter, remember you will not be alone for long, you will be reunited with your companions, some sooner than others but seven years will fly by before you know it. Besides, when you've lived as long as you all have seven years is nothing. Finally to the last, but certainly not least three of my children, even though I won't be here in the Hotel with you, don't forget that you'll be out with us soon and that you are loved."
"Yes Mother Hecate," replied the eleven children as they all surged forward and gave her a group hug. She hugged and kissed them all goodbye then after they'd all turned away she disappeared in a flash of purple light.
So I just received several reviews . Let me addres them.
Review Number 1:Mango lemon:This is crap, only idiots would like and follow this you miniature Donald Trump! Besides the ones who'll win the wars are the Titans, Giants, and Gaia since Percy and Jason haven't gone to their respective camps Luke won't be revealed as the thief, Camp H.B. will be destroyed, all it's campers will be killed and then, when the giants rise they'll send a combined force on Camp J and destroy it, killing all it's campers. So ha you loser.
Actually you know what ... I won't respond to this.
Reviews two - four
Matt:Hey moron, it's the other way around time inside the hotel passes slowly while outside it stays the same. Also Hecate sides with the titans during the first war. You SO don't know anything about the P.J. series.
My response: Sometimes people change details to serve their own needs. I have read all of the PJatO books and short stories as well as HoO. So I consider myself well enough versed in series to make the story work.
Matt:Also Hades didn't create the Lotus Casino and Hotel, the lotus eaters did. P.S. Sorry about my last post didn't see all of last part of first chapter. Also did Hecate kidnap them, you didn't put if she did or if she teleported them from their homes to the casino? Also will Percy know Grover?
My response:I know the Lotus Eaters created the LHaC. But after reading that section again I realize I made a mistake with a name and I made that section more descriptive of who did what.
Matt:Also what is with the clones? In the next chapter please do some q and a.
My response: Please be patient with me. I'm still working on the next chapter. Some things will be explained in the chapter, others later on down the line.
Matt:Also if their half bloods then they only have one godly parent and one human, if they had two gods as parents then they would be gods.
My response: I should have posted that some of the characters are what other authors call "Twice Blessed" This too will be addressed when they are claimed.
