Chapter 21 Decoding the prophecies part 2.
Hayden after figuring out with Henry that they need something god made to decipher the prophecies calls his mother and asks her to return home. Zelena teleports back home appearing from a poof of green smoke in the kitchen.
"You've found a way to decipher the prophecies." Said Zelena.
"Yes, we think we need an item made by a god to translate the prophecies." Answered Hayden.
"So, we'll go to your father's lair." Replies Zelena.
"That's what I was thinking. But I have a feeling anything that he has that is god made he would have hidden it. And I think he would have given you a key." Says Hayden.
"A rational theory my flying monkey. I know your father he's given me many gifts. But one stands out." Spoke Zelena.
"I don't count." Joked Hayden. Zelena eyes roll in response.
"My locket." Says Zelena.
"Dad gave you a locket." Replied Hayden.
"He said the locket was special because it has a painting of the three of us in." Answers Zelena.
"If the locket is the key to something. Then it has to open something in our home in the Underworld." Said Hayden.
"You really did inherit my fabulous mind." Says Zelena.
"Shall we." Responded Hayden.
"We shall." Spoke Zelena.
Not long after the mother and son conversation. Hayden and Zelena return to Hades' lair. Zelena is wearing the locket Hades gave her around her neck.
"Home sweet home." Said Hayden.
"Time to use the locket to find something god made." Replied Zelena. Zelena pulls the locket out of a pocket. The locket then shines briefly for a moment in front of the two a stone block appears out of nowhere. On the block of stone lies a white candle that has strange patterns made from what can be assumed to be dried blood.
"He hid a bloody candle." Spoke Hayden.
"And here I thought something god made would look more spectacular." Commented Zelena.
"I'm assuming we have to light the candle and probably hold the prophecies over the candle and maybe whatever magic in the candle will translate the writing into something we can understand." Guessed Hayden.
"That must be the case." Says Zelena.
Hayden and Zelena then return to the farmhouse. Zelena set the candle on the kitchen table. While Hayden went into the living room to fetch the scrolls that have the prophecies written down. Henry is still in the living room looking after little Aggie. Hayden picks up the scrolls and Henry turns to look at him.
"Did you find anything?" Asks Henry.
"Yes, something that is for my eyes and my Mother's only." Replied, Hayden. As he walks into the kitchen taking the scrolls with him.
"Good you have them." Says Zelena in the kitchen. Zelena lights the god made the candle with a match. Hayden then holds one of the scrolls over the candle. The ancient writing on the scroll shines brightly for a moment and in seconds is translated into English. Hayden then begins to read out the first prophcey.
"The exiled God will fall in love with the most powerful witch of OZ of all time." Spoke Hayden.
"Well, that's one useless prophcey it's already come to pass." Said Zelena. Hayden puts that scroll aside and holds the last scroll over the candle's flame. The magic from that candle translates the ancient writing into English.
"We have one more. The children of the Exiled God will join forces to defeat the other Olympian Gods." Says Hayden.
"That's impossible there nothing that can kill a God." Replied, Zelena.
"Maybe there is we just know what is or they are defeated in a different way." Guessed Hayden.
"I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon since your older brother hates you." Said Zelena.
