CHAPTER 10: HISTORY'S TOLD

" Hi! Hello! new guest. " I greeted unsure of what to say.

" Greetings to you too my dear. " he greeted with a smile.

" Is Bruce here? " he asked.

" Excuse me but who are you? " I asked. Well I couldn't just talk to a stranger.

" Apologies for not introducing myself. I am Hermes, the messenger of the gods. " he introduced. I stood there still, I was talking to Hermes.

" Hermes, you've come to pay a visit. " Bruce uttered from behind.

" Ah yes, I've come to take Hera's request. " Hermes said. Bruce stopped and slightly glared at Hermes.

" Imprisoning my mother wouldn't do any good. "

" Persephone is not to be imprisoned her power can free Calypso from Ogygia we will need her guidance. "

" You sent her to that island you can bring her back. "

" Your mother was the one who sent her there. " Bruce couldn't say anything he just turned around and gave a pearl to Hermes.

" Promise me you'll bring her back safe and alive. " Hermes nodded his head and took his leave.

" Bruce, she's going to be alright. " I comforted.

" She better be or those gods wouldn't just face Kronos' army. " he mumbled.

Later that day Lucas and Zecharius came.

" Brother, you shouldn't have given him mom's pearl. " Zecharius said as he enters the throne room.

" He was seeking entrance to father's palace. "

" And you carelessly gave it to him. " Zecharius snarled creating a circle of black mist.

The three knights of Bruce unsheathe their sword. Bruce gestured them to stand down.

" Brother, you knew they were to take mother. " Lucas said.

" To free Calypso, yes. " Bruce uttered.

" Your being unreasonable! " Zecharius was ready to attack.

" Unreasonable! I am doing this for our sake! The prophecy tells it itself we are destined to destroy the world. " Bruce stood from the throne.

" You're the one who doesn't understand anything. " a sword starting to appear from his hands.

" Bruce please. " I stopped he made the sword vanish and went back to the throne.

" I understand he did something beyond your approval but he to regrets it please don't lay your anger on him. " I said.

" Apologies then Milady we have disrespected your domain. " Lucas said then bowed.

Zecharius then calmed himself. Kuze escorted me out the throne room followed by Gray. I sat in the window when I got the craziest ideas to jump. Gray wasn't inside my room so he probably would come looking for me. I don't know but something made me run to the woods. I stopped when I saw a huge wolf and I mean HUGE you can ride on its back. It growled and showed it fangs I moved backward and ran I took curves and turns until the wolf wasn't chasing me.

" Cara. " someone whispered.

It kept whispering I had my head turned until it felt like it was the forest that was turning itself. I fell to the ground and when I opened my eyes it was the blue lady but she wasn't blue she was there real with her slightly pinkish skin and long brown curly hair and pale brown eyes. My head was rested in her lap she was caressing my forehead.

" Are you feeling okay? " she asked. Her voice was very calm it sounded so heavenly.

" I have to go back, they must be looking for me. " I said and stood up.

" Is that so? Then be on your way. " she said after standing up.

" I can't leave you here. "

" Come with me in the castle have a rest. I must at least show my gratitude. " She nodded. We were on our way when Gray landed. He glared at me.

" I'm sorry but can we go back to the castle first. "

He both carried us to the balcony and entered the throne room's window. I went to the throne room and Hades was their together with his sons. He immediately stood up after we entered.

" Nut. " he said in surprise. He was staring at the woman I was with.

" It's been a long time. " she said and smiled.

" You know each other? " I asked.

" Uhmm, yes old friends. My name is Nut, Egyptian Sky Goddess. " she introduced.

" Wait, Egyptian? " Lucas asked.

" What brought you here? " Hades asked.

" I came to get our daughter. " she paused before she could say 'our'.

" Our?! " Hades said looking at her confused. She turned to me.

" That can't be. Cara? " Bruce stood from his chair.

" Cara? " Zecharius stepped forward.

" But how? " Hades asked.

" After father banished you Isis found out that I was bearing a child even I couldn't believe it. I was scared father would harm our child so I went to the humans and met a foreign female doctor who was aiding the Egyptian army. She promised to take care of our daughter after she delivered it. I'm sorry I didn't say anything. " Nut almost cried.

" That's why you showed up in my dreams. " I muttered.

" How can you be alive all this time? " Zecharius asked but I couldn't answer.

" Why didn't you say anything? I've been longing to see you, I've spent my days distressed from losing you. We've met but you were Chione Reese my brother's first lady. " he continued.

I balled my fist and gritted my teeth as I avoid tears from eyes to fall.

" Now, child. " Nut reached out her hand.

I looked at them and remembered what Diana said, it was a great to be able to meet our parents I looked at Nut and tears started to fall from my eyes I turned to Hades who was also surprised.

" I'm coming with you. " I said.

" Wait you can't! " Bruce stopped.

" You can't leave me, I love you. " he said. He held my hand and caressed my cheek.

" I have to, the prophecy. This is the history you are my brother and you told it yourself, you're going to do the right thing when the time comes and besides we can't fall in love with each other remember. " I said as tears escaped my eyes.

" Goodbye Bruce. " I said and hugged him.

I turned back to everyone and gave them a smile. Luka, Kuze, and Diana bowed Lucas was still surprised and Zecharius held no emotion. I looked at Hades then ran to him and hugged him.

" I'll see you soon, father. " I whispered before standing beside Gray and Nut.

" I'll open a portal for you. " Nut said then looked at Gray.

" Stay alive and keep her safe. " Gray nodded. Mother snapped her fingers and an oval appeared.

" How about you mother? "

" Cara, my body is a mere soul that traveled here I'll wait for you in the other side. " she said and smiled.
