Chapter 5-Kratos Awakens
The Olympians wasted no time in bowing to the all powerful weavers of fate. Once every one of the Olympians, including Hestia, was on their knees in front of the Fates, the immortal sisters spoke as one, "Arise Olympians, we have much to discuss."
Zeus was the first to his feet, not liking having to bow to anyone more powerful than himself. "What is the reason for your visit, Miladies?"
"Arise Olympians. We are here to stop you from making a grave mistake. As you know, we have long since cast our favor onto you, and your children. So, when this demigod fell through a rift between, his world and ours, we began to look through the multiple futures his appearance created so as to find a future in witch favored the rule of Olympus. I took us days to find one and now we finally have."
Apollo spoke up. "Was their only one?"
"Yes, speaker of prophesies," The trio answered, "And we are here to prevent you from destroying the only future in which Olympus survives."
The fates appeared nervous about what they had to say next, "In order for Olympus to survive you follow Athena's plan to gain the demigods help in this war. However, that is not all. You must ask for him to train all of the demigod children of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. It is the only way for you to win the war."
That said the sisters of Fate flashed out of the throne room, leaving all of the gods speechless. Nearly all of them had decided that he was far too powerful to live, but now the fates themselves said that he must live in order for Olympus to survive.
Athena was the first to recover. "Well, father, even you cannot ignore a direct order from the Fates themselves."
Zeus looked furious for a moment then he sighed in defeat, and murmured, "You are right, daughter. Go wake the mortal, and explain the situation to him, Athena. I fear if I send anyone else he would attack first, ask question last. I trust you can handle this?"
Athena nods and leaves the throne room. It was time to wake the sleeping monster.
Kratos was locked in a deep sleep. He watched his dream self kill his family over and over again, for what seemed like years, before he felt a light at the end of the tunnel. "Spartan!" Athena yelled jerking the warrior awake.
Jumping to his feet, Kratos summoned his blades of Exile, causing Athena to jump back in fright. "Kratos! Wait!" Athena Cried.
Kratos' scowl deepened. "Why, Athena? So you can fool me into giving Hope to you?! You should not have saved me from death goddess! You should have left me to die!"
"Please, Warrior, allow me to explain! I am not the Athena you know!" Athena begged, something she did not often do, save for when she was asking her father for something.
Kratos faltered for a moment, then noticing she was not wielding any weapons, sheathed the Blades Of Exile upon his back, giving the Wisdom goddess a chance to speak her peace.
"Thank you, Kratos," Athena replied, then proceeded to explain the events of the past month, the entire time, watching Kratos' face for a chance to glance at his emotions. Briefly she caught glances of disbelief, anger, and suspicion. As she finished her story, excluding the idea she had to gain his help in the coming war, Kratos looked murderous.
"Do you truly expect me to believe you, Athena? Do you take me for a fool?!" Kratos raged, drawing his blades.
"Please, spartan, I can prove it!" Athena cried.
Kratos gave her a skeptical look before responding, "Fine, Athena. You get one chance."
Immediately, the goddess of wisdom latched onto his shoulder a flashed both of them into the world below.
Looking around Kratos could hardly believe what he saw. The world outside of Olympus was so different from the world he once called home.
"Do you believe me now, Spartan?" Athena asked.
Kratos just glanced around in awe at his surroundings. "How?" he managed.
"The world has changed alot, compared to the time period in which you lived hasn't, Ghost of Sparta? Mankind has come along way."
Kratos shook himself from his stupor. "Fine, goddess, I believe you. Now what is it you need of me?"
