Sonic and the Olympians
Chapter 2:
The portal opened and they were brought into 615 B.C. Greece, just like Corinna said so. The bright light from the sun blinded Sonic, but soon his eyes were fixed around the new surroundings. Pegasus flew high in the sky with strength, speed, and grace to Mount Olympus. As they flew by, Sonic noticed a small village they were passing. In the mid-morning sun, he saw children running down the streets playing chase or kicking their home made balls on the roads. Women were out in their gardens or in their homes weaving, while some was buying food or cloths. Men were out in the fields planting crops, selling food, spices, household items and vases in their shops or on the sides of the streets, and some were repairing their homes.
"That's Dion." Corinna said to Sonic while looking down at the busy activity. "It's a small village that's close to the foot of Mount Olympus." She look up ahead. "If only the people knew what danger they are in." She said in a worried tone that got Sonic's attention.
"Before we reach Mount Olympus, can you explain to me who Hecate is and why she is causing all these problems that I'm not one hundred percent understanding just yet?" Sonic asked.
"Hecate is the daughter of Titanes Perses and Asteria, who is goddess of magic, witchcraft, and spiritual talking with ghosts." She replied. "She was once an Olympian and lived peacefully with Zeus, the king of the gods and ruler of the world with his six children who are also Olympians. But she used her powers for evil and Zeus cast her out of Mount Olympus and to never return. She lost her role to be an Olympian, and now she is angered at Zeus, but he had rights to do what he had to do."
"What did she done that made her evil?" Sonic questioned, now understanding the situation a little.
"A man came to a medium to speak with Hecate to see if Apollo, the god of healing, medicine, and plagues, would heal his wife from her illness. Hecate said Apollo would come and make his wife better. But Apollo was fighting Minotaur to keep him from entering Mount Olympus, and the wife died. The man cursed Hecate for lying to him that his wife will live, but she died. This angered Hecate and she cast a spell on him to be unattractive towards women and live a lonely, miserable life stricken in poverty."
This gave chills down Sonic's spine, what Corinna said was terrifying and sad at the same time. Corinna continued as Pegasus was now flying up the mountain. They are close to Mount Olympus.
"He forced Hecate to be a prisoner in the palace of Hades, the god of the underworld, and live in a prison cell made of hot metal filled with venomous snakes to her ankles that'll bite her for a hundred years. However, she's an immortal, so she lived in torment for all those years. You can't blame her for being mad at Zeus for what he's done to her though, but he clearly had no choice. It was her fault that she used her powers for wicked ways. She done her punishment, and know she escaped the underworld and placed a curse on the six Olympians, stole Zeus's lighting blots, and now wants to rule over Mount Olympus and destroy Greece." Sonic can clearly tell Corinna was upset and scared for her home and country being destroyed, so he found some words to reassure her to make Corinna feel better about this situation.
"Don't worry Corinna." He started. "That's why I'm here, to make sure that won't happen. You found me and you wanted me to help you, so I am. I'm making a promise that no matter what will happen, I will save Greece from Hecate and make sure that she won't destroy it, and you will live in peace forever." Corinna look at Sonic and smiled. She looked relaxed and happy that Sonic won't stop at nothing to stop Hecate.
"Thanks Sonic, I know I can count on you." She said as she placed a hand a Sonic's left shoulder.
They arrived at Mount Olympus and Sonic was amazed because the temple that the Olympians lived in was taller and wider than the Pantheon temple in Athens, Greece. It was made out of gold and shone brightly in the sun. A fountain was on the right of the temple, and Corinna told Sonic that the fountain is used to water the land. Pegasus landed near the stone steps to the temple and Sonic Corinna dismounted.
"Thank you for helping us Pegasus. You may go now until we need you again." Corinna said to Pegasus. He reared in the air and flown off as he disappeared in the clouds.
"This place is sweet!" Sonic said as they headed to the entrance of the temple.
"Yes it is." Corinna responded. "It's also were not only the Olympians live in, it's also were I server them."
"Are you their maiden?" Sonic ask. Corinna nodded.
"I'm their maiden to serve them with any of their needs." They walked in and came into a long hallway as they passed large, tall statues made of marble. To Sonic, they look very familiar to some people he knew, but he couldn't figure out who they were. But one of the statues caught Sonic's attention. It was a statue of Zeus, but Zeus had a long moustache, and was over weight, he really look like someone that Sonic had a big feeling, he knew very well.
"In here." Corinna motioned to Sonic. Up ahead was a throne room, and it had seven thrones made of gold, silver, brass, and rare jewels that represented the seven Olympian gods and goddesses. Three was on the left, and three was on the right, and seventh throne was in front of them in the middle, it was larger than the other thrones, but Sonic was too busy looking at the thrones that he didn't noticed Zeus was sitting on that throne.
"Oh great Zeus, the king of the gods and ruler of the world, I have brought Greece's hero." Corinna said. When Sonic realized Zeus was here, he look straight ahead and saw him, but he gasped and was mad.
"Eggman!" He cried. "What are you doing here?! Now I know that you're also in with Hecate trying to destroy Greece and take over Mount Olympus!" Zeus became angered at what Sonic said to him. He punched his fist on the arm of his throne.
"How dare you speak to me in that tone?!" He yelled. His yelling shake the throne room. "You're lucky that I don't have my lighting blots because if I did, I would've struck you down with them!"
"Zeus! He's mistaken you by accident!" Corinna said trying to stop Zeus. She turned to Sonic.
"He is not who you think what he is." She said. "This is Zeus, the king of the gods and ruler of the world." Sonic was in disbelief.
"So, it's going be like that again then." Sonic thought to himself. He quickly remembered the time when he got into two different worlds a few years back, and he thought everyone there was his friends, but they weren't. "This is going to be really something!" Corinna turned to Zeus and went on one knee with her head bowed to the ground.
"Please forgive Sonic, he really didn't know who you were until know." She said.
"I have no much of a choice because if you say that he's our hope, then it must be so." He got up from his throne and walk to Sonic.
"I'm glad that Corinna founded you and brought you here in time." He said while still looking at Sonic. It made Sonic uncomfortable knowing a mighty god was standing in front of him, and staring at him for a reason he didn't knew.
"Has Hecate used your sons and daughters yet to start her wrath?" Corinna asked. Zeus turned to Corinna.
"No, but she'll start anytime now, and I fear for my sons and daughters knowing they are being controlled by her." He replied.
"Uh, can I ask one question?" Sonic said. Both Zeus and Corinna looked at him.
"You've already asked a question, but you may." Zeus said.
"Just how you weren't cursed by Hecate?" Sonic asked.
"That's what I don't know either." Zeus said as he was sitting on his throne again.
"When she invaded Mount Olympus, which Corinna must've told you by now, and to never return, she cast a spell on my sons and daughters to control their mind, body, and strength, and she stole my lightning bolts, and then left. And what we know of what curse that she has on my children, it'll affect their roles by making them use their giving roles for evil. For example, my beloved daughter Athena is the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and knowledge. Hecate can make Athena to use her powers to make the people less smart, or even use her to make a deadly war." Sonic listened carefully as Zeus continued telling Sonic of what might be expected with Hecate and her dangerous spells and magic.
Somewhere in darkest depths of the world, a palace was made in an unknown location. In this dark palace, the three rooms were lit with one small candle, giving off a light, soft glow. The owner of the palace was home, sitting on her throne while watching Zeus and Corinna talking to Sonic through a glass ball sitting on a stone pillar. This is Hecate, she may look like an innocent women, but her eyes gleamed of evil and her thoughts were filled with nothing but wanting revenged on Zeus and the Olympians. She stood up and put her left hand on her glass ball to turn it off. She laughed as she walked out of her throne room and down the stairs.
"Oh Zeus, you must be really desperate to rely on that blue talking hedgehog from another timeline to stop me! Pathetic. " But when she came to the end of the stairs, she paused when a thought came to her.
"You know, there must be a reason why Zeus is trusting that hedgehog." She said to herself. "Is he that powerful that I'm unaware of his true self?" She clenched a fist thinking that if this is true, she has to work fast and hard immediately.
"I'm not letting that blue rat stop me! I will destroy him if he gets in my way! However, I do not know of his strength and willpower, so to know, I shall test him." Hecate said. She stormed in a nearby room and smiled proudly.
"I shall test him with one of Zeus's children, who they are also my slaves!" She said as she laughed evilly. The Olympians were standing in the middle of a room, waiting for Hecate to give a command. Their curse was visible, a purple aura surround them and their iris was dark purple, with their pupil thin. They had un-expressional looks on their faces. As Hecate looked at her cursed slaves, she decided that she would use on of the Olympians to test Sonic, and also, start her destruction of Greece.
"Aphrodite, come to me." Hecate commanded.
"Yes, master" Aphrodite said. Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of beauty and love, the girls and women of Greece relies on her to make them beautiful and to find good husbands. Aphrodite came in front of Hecate.
"I want you to go down to Athens, and make all the young girls and women ugly, so that they won't be attractive and the men won't love them. This will be the first phase of my destruction plan, ruin families so that one on won't turn to others for help and support when my wrath overtakes everything. And if you see a blue hedgehog named Sonic, kill him at once!" Aphrodite nodded.
"Yes, master." She said, she backed up a few steps and teleported. Hecate smiled evilly.
"The rest of you don't leave this room unless I command you too." She said as she turned to the other Olympians. They nodded.
"Yes, master." They said. Hecate left the room and continued to watch Zeus, Corinna, and Sonic from her throne room.
"I would like to see just how Sonic will do when he fights Aphrodite. He doesn't stand a chance!" She said as she grinned while looking through her glass ball.
