"Excellent job my Helen." Cronus raised his arms out in approval while lounging on his luxurious chair.
Helen is leading a altered looking gryphon into Cronus' mighty hall with two humans lying unconscious on the beast's back. Cronus was upset that Helen couldn't control or charm no more three gryphons at a time, but he was still satisfied, three gryphons could cause immense damage.
Helen's face was emotionless, if you did not count the burning hatred in her eyes. The petrified giants crept into the shadows as they saw Helen coming down the aisle.
"Come, bring your visitors over here." Cronus pointed to the place before him.
Helen led the gryphon close behind her, they stopped, then Helen grabbed the two bodies and she threw them onto the floor.
Andy and Eve wake up slowly pushing themselves up from the stone floor. They looked around at the large hall. They suddenly realize where they are, when they looked into the crimson eyes of their enemy.
"Evania, Andrew, so glad you could come. What a pleasure for you to visit." Cronus threw out his arms to his newcomers. He nodded to Helen. "As my honouree guests, you get to stay in the best accommodations, the dungeons."
While Cronus blabbed on, Helen produced what looked like two pairs of three thick vines from thin air they twined together in rhythm they then stopped and in a fast process dried and hardened. Helen grabbed the vine ropes and started to tie the hands of her parents behind their backs, rather harshly.
Eve and Andy pleaded to their daughter, but all they got in response was a cold silence also a nasty glare.
She started to direct them to the prison cells. Before they had taken more than three steps, Helen stopped gazing into the distance.
In her mind a descriptive picture laid, chocolate brown eyes that looked lovingly directly at her. The background was a blur but those eyes wouldn't leave their gazing post. How many times will I see that portrait? Who is this person?
"Helen!" Cronus yelled loudly to her. She snapped out of it and returned to her work. For some reason this picture stirred feelings inside of her this 'new' Helen had never felt. What is wrong with me?
The parents realized there is nothing that they can do to stop their sinister daughter now, the prophecy was starting to be fulfilled. Slowly.

"Hera, Hermes, I think you need to fill us in."
"Yes I agree."
Hera looked over at Hermes and nodded. He exhaled deeply. "Where to start." He mumbled. "Oh yes, The Oracle has prophesied something not more than two weeks ago." He took a long pause. "This time the prophecy deals with Helen."
Everyone looked strangely at each other confused.
"What is the prophecy Hermes?"
"The blood of Hebe will once again reluctantly take the path of evil, and wreak havoc and tormenting agony upon the world. Her powers will be so mighty, not a soul will stop her from reaching her goal. Youth will serve Time once again."
"Whoa, once again?" Herry questioned looking more confused than ever.
"Yes, it was never recorded in any Greek mythology but Hebe was controlled by Cronus, unwillingly after he had been but into prison. She was a flowing source of evil, wherever she went painful screams followed. She attempted to break Cronus out of Tatarus, but we stopped her and luckily we did. We were able to return her back to normal, but sometimes just sometimes she would act strangely, after a long period of time it became less frequent, last time I heard from her she only had one strange outbreak in a whole year."
"Whoa, I can't believe that was never recorded!" Odie exclaimed as he pointed out all the millions of books nestled into their places in the library.
"What does it mean by Youth and Time?"
This time Hera filled them in. "It is referring to Helen is Youth since her ancestor is the goddess of youth and the god of time is…"
"Cronus." nodded Jay.
"Yes and a fatal blow to us, Helen will probably be the most powerful tool Cronus has obtained so far."
"Ya sure she can talk and control animals…"
"Charm." Herry added in.
"Sorry charm, and she is super fast but, that isn't too much of a threat, we have dealt with worse." Archie finished.
"Yes that is true; we thought the same of Hebe, our mistake. She will discover new powers and become more powerful in the ones she has." Hera looked deeply concerned for the group. They have no idea what they are facing.
The children left leaving Hermes and Hera standing staring at the closed door.
"Do you think they will be able to handle it?"
Hera shook her head. "Hermes, Helen will be way stronger than Hebe ever was, one fact is that her new found master is free from Tartarus and it doesn't help that Helen has your bloodline, and one last thing, she is a little more level-headed then her ancestor."
Hermes face was painted with worry as they both once again stared at the closed door in silence.
