Tony's POV:
When I woke up I was all alone, and scared, really, really scared. It was morning of the next day and I was totally freaked out. What I'd seen... Aster wanted answers, but did she want them THAT badly? Did I have to retell the torturous nightmares I'd just lived through? I felt sick to my stomach and had a headache, but I didn't care, I went outside anyway.
"You look awful..." Aster said, feeling my forehead and frowning.
"I feel worse than I look." I assured her, she looked as if she was about to ask.
"Visions aren't usually given to children of Venus." I said with a scowl.
"I don't want to but I've got to know, what did you see?"
"It's painful... My mother, her Greek side, Aphrodite... She, you..." I trailed off, putting my head in my hands and groaned.
"Yes?" She prompted. I started over.
"As a baby you were meant to be a tribute, a gift to the Greeks, because the Greeks and Romans were fighting and the gods wanted to settle it. But Hades, the only one to hear about it, planned to sacrifice you and Aphrodite decided to, well, kidnap you so he couldn't, and the gift was never received by the Greeks. To protect you from any certain death Hades had planned for you Aphrodite ventured into his realm to deep you in the river styx..." That part had been gruesome. It had felt like I was being set ablaze and I'd wanted to scream.
"Go on." She urged.
"Mom then went Roman and gave birth to me, asking Apollo to bless me with the gift of visions so one day, when you were ready, I could tell you your story. Unfortunately the gift wasn't well given and, as you've seen, it glitches. Plus-" I paused, I didn't want to tell her this part.
"Tony, tell me."
"It can be used to control me, and that's what has been happening. Someone is trying to control me, through my visions."
