*A/N: I've always wanted to do a Smite story to take a break of League of legends for a bit but wasn't successful cause I always scrap ideas left and right and believe me it took me years to think of a story...thankfully...I was reading this interesting story called A Mortal Among Gods from DarkAvenger001 and it gave me the inspiration I need to start a story for Smite. So thank you, DarkAvenger001, for giving me inspiration for this story. Then there's this mobile game called Father and Son with the whole reliving ancient history from the protagonist's father's work so I got a bit of inspiration from that too. I do not own Smite but my OCS. Warning: This story contains strong violence, possible dark scenes, strong languages, possible lemons that is not suitable for readers under 18 or older or readers who are not comfortable in mature scenes. This is my first and only warning I'm giving you. You have been warned.*

Prologue

You ever been told that they are some things that are meant to be hidden or some secrets are best not told? I've been hearing that so many times that I always thought that I can avoid unnecessary situations...guess I was wrong...cause what happened...made me regret my decision for the rest of my life...my name is Dante Vera...and this is my story of the most craziest change in my life...

It began like this...it was June 28 2017 about at Middletown and I was playing an online game called Smite with my friend as we talked through Skype as I waited for my dad come home with the car.

"Hey, what happened to you? Went to the auction and got into a fight just to steal a Saint Dimas cross?"

That's Giovanni. 21 year old college student who does music and technician for a living. He tends to joke around even in serious situations whether the joke is bad or good it kinds of makes me smile.

"Ha ha...funny...cause I'm dressed up like Nathan Drake...good one." I chuckled.

"Where's Roman? I thought he was going to play with us?" He asked me.

"He called me said that he went to visit his family for the night." I said as I picked my character(Hercules in case you are wondering.).

"Ah...got ya. So I hear you're going out of the country." Giovanni said as he picked Ra.

"Yup. Going to Greece with my dad for the summer." I smiled.

"That's cool, dude. A place full of history and mystery...not a bad place if I do say so myself."

"Indeed. Once I'm done with this match, my dad is probably gonna be here with the car and I'm off to the airport." I said as I waited for other players to pick their gods.

"Cool, dude."

So we played for a good 20 minutes until my cellphone started ringing letting me know that I got a message. I checked the message and it reads "I'm here. :)". I was going to tell Giovanni that I was going to leave and maybe tell to finish the match for me but we managed to beat the enemy's titan on time.

"I got to go. My dad is here." I said as I closed the game.

"Okay, dude. Good luck on your trip. Remember to send a postcard."

"I'll keep that in mind." I smirked as turned off my Skype and computer.

I took my luggage, went out of my house, locked the door behind me and went towards dad's car as he smiled to see me again.

"All set?" He asks me.

"Yup. Greece here we come." I smiled as I got in the car by the passenger side.

And off we go...the trip to Greece took maybe a few days or so(lost track of time cause I slept most of the trip.) just to get there but despite me being probably a bit impatient getting there...the trip there was worth it. We got off the plane with our luggage and headed in a Greek airport.

"Here we are...Greece. wait here. I'm gonna call your uncle to let him know we're here. In the meantime..."

He gives me a booklet of how to speak Greek...yeah...I give him the "are you serious look?" as he went to go to a payphone to call my uncle. So...I sat down on one of the chairs as I started reading the booklet. Seriously if I wanted learn new languages, there's a thing called the internet...Should've brought my laptop...

So I waited for maybe 3 or 4 minutes and dad comes back as I quickly got off the chair and putting the book away.

"Your uncle is on his way. Come on. We'll wait for him at the front."

We carried our luggage out of the airport and after 10 minutes...my uncle shows up with his Korres P4 (A car from Greece in case you are wondering.) honking the horn letting me know he's here. My dad and I got there with smiles as my uncle quickly got off the car and gave us a nice hug.

"καλως ηρθες στην ΕΛΛΑΔΑ(Welcome to Greece)." My uncle greets us.

Welcome to Greece indeed...

"Thank you, Uncle Christo." I chuckled as my dad smiled at him.

That's my uncle. The guy loves to travel when it comes to history but seems to spend most of his time in either Rome or Greece. I guess you can say he is a scholar who likes to travel wherever history takes him.

"Come on. Let's drop off your stuff at my place." He smiled.

"Sounds good to me." Dad chuckled.

He helped us put our belongings in the back seat of the car as he drove us to one of the nice hotels(according to him that is.). As we were heading there, we started having a conversation...a rather interesting conversation...

"So what do you plans for us, uncle?" I asked him.

"We're going to exploring some ruins together."

"Known ruins?" I asked with curiousity.

"Yup. Going to be learning some history there and if we're lucky learn some secrets." My uncle chuckled.

I look at dad with the "Is he serious?" look and his response was a shrug.

"My brother is known for going to historic ruins so it's not too surprising he would do this..."

Exploring historic ruins...something tells me that this is going to be one of hell of a trip...and not in a good way...only one way to find out...
