Bell's eyes twitched as he opened them. He found himself in a room and could barely move. The last thing he remembered is that just left him to die for something he didn't do.
'They left me to die,' He thought. 'After everything I did.'
He heard a door open and to his shock Zeus came in. They lock eyes to one another while Zeus came close to his bed. Tears started dripping from eyes, he got from his bed.
But he was to weak to control his body. He almost hit the ground and luckily Zeus was able to catch him. They both sat on the bed and hugged. Bell sobbed while Zeus patted his back.
"I thought you were dead."
He apologized. "I'm sorry, I made some enemies and I don't want you to get involve especially if they find out about what you are."
Bell looked suspicously. "What other secrets you been hiding from?"
The God sighed and explained everything from the begining. He said that he was never a human being he was Zeus the God who led the one most strongest Familia that Orario ever had. Much to Bell's shock.
He just pretended to be one by hiding his divine presence. Every single word he said to Bell . He explained after his familia was weakend, he was cast out by Loki and Freya. He fell in love with a woman settled in to a village up north in the mountains. They had a child after the mother died due to a disease. He swore he would protect his child.
"And that child is you."
Bell's eyes widened as saucers. The information Zeus gave him was a lot to take in. He glanced his hand and small currents of electricity came between his fingers.
He said. "So, I'm part human and part god?"
"A demigod, son," Zeus cleared. "But most people would call you a half blood."
"So if I was a half blood then why didn't I have this power before?" Bell showed his electrified hand.
"A father would have good reasons to protect his own," He shook his head. "And so I did, half bloods were viewed by most Gods as a mistake and were afraid of them. I sealed your powers to protect you and the people you might hurt and if they find out about you. They would kill you."
"And you would have killed me too?"
Zeus denied it. "You were just a baby and I had a promise to keep. When I heard from Hermes of what happened and smuggled you body out of the city. I knew that I had to come out of hiding."
Bell felt his heart thump, he was kinda happy that Zeus was a loving father. But, there is one thing that still crossed his mind.
Zeus noticed this. "Are you still mad about that?"
"I still can't believe thet they just left at the alter." He said. "So much of becoming a hero."
"You think being a hero is all about becoming the strongest and people speak of about your deeds?"
The half blood growled. "What the point of being hero when everyone you trust betrays you!"
"People tend to believe what they see or hear. But not understanding of the situation, " Zeus countered. "In all my years of observation, every hero were in the same position of you were."
Bell's anger started to decrease. "What do you mean?"
"The world is beautifull and hideous. But that's the reality of it.
"What are you getting at?"
"There was an idea," Zeus began. "To bring hope and salvation. To see, what more they could become and when they needed them to fight the battles that they never could."
Bell was confused at what he is referring to.
Zeus continued. "The name of heroes is not a title given of how awesome you are. "
"The title of heroes is given by the people you save and protect."
Bell spoke nothing, he doesn't why his father is telling him this. But he know he can't become a hero when people are afraid and despise of him of him.
"You don't have to be a prisoner of your blood or desire." He said.
"Don't let their words of discouragement stop you or better yet don't become what they fear."
Bell began to tear up and clenched his fist. Zeus plant a hand on his shoulder.
He smiled softly. "It doesn't matter of what you are."
"You define yourself."
"I am telling this because if not then I won't forgive myself if you walk a dark path.
Bell finally knew that his dad was saving him from himself. He was given a second chance and he is not going to waste. He hugged his dad.
"Thank you dad."
