Prologue
It was just another day on Olympus, as normal as ever. It was the Summer Solstice. It was the same as the gods received the Prophecy about how a hero might lead to the downfall of the Olympians. This resulting in the pact of the big three.
As the meeting continued normally, the 3 fates had appeared. Zues instantly stood up. "Why are you here?" He asked loudly, his voice booming as thunder.
"I'd watch yourself if I were you father". The one in the middle spoke not answering questions. "But we aren't here today for you." With that said the 3 sisters turned toward Apollo. "We're here to show your son something."
"What do you wish to show me?" The sun god asked.
The first and youngest, pulled out a bright golden string. Instantly causing all gods to widen their eyes. It was rare for the sisters to show anyone how long a one would live, let alone a god. "Observe." She ordered. As she began to pull more and more string from the wooden basket that was covered with a white sheet of cloth. After a couple of moments a bright orange thread, was braided with, Apollo's thread.
"What's that?" Athena asked as curious as ever.
"Some call it the string of marriage." The eldest siter spoke. Look directly at Apollo.
"Others refer to it as the orange string of fate." The second spoke.
The youngest stopped pulling. "But we call it the string of bond that lasts forever.
With that they disappeared just as they appeared. Here was the first to snap out of the shock. "Sounds to me they talk about your soulmate."!
"So…what should I do now?" Apollo asked as if thinking why the fates were so annoying.
For once everyone was quiet. Finally Athena was the one to speak. "You should go listen to the oracle. Listen to what she has to say. From what it sounds like to me you won't be meeting your soulmate for a long time."
For the one time Apollo listened.
Apollo hesitated as he entered the cave. "What's wrong with me.," He thought. "I never hesitate."
"Yeah but you've never committed to anything either." A voice in his head said.
As soon as Apollo entered the cave, the current vessel of Delphi lit up. And she began to recite her prophecy.
The sun shall find his other half
The one whom can break reprimand the grief
She'll raise the portal to Olympus
Break or create a way into his heart
Daughter of royalty is the key
"Oh…boy, Zues and Hera won't be happy." I thought.
