Chapter 2: Getting Blessings
After a while of questions and hitting, I finally got settled. Joe showed me where I would be living. It looked uncanny alike from my room in the carecenter which I don't think was an accident. My bed had dragon designs on it, with one huge dragon blowing fire in all directions. I sat down and traced the dragon in the middle. It had icy blue eyes with golden scales, the claws bronze as it was painted. Around it was the same bloody colored walls.
Joe studied me for a second before he said something. "You might want to clean up. You don't want to look bad in front of your father."
I nodded and stood from my leather chair. "Where are my clothes?"
"They are in the bathroom. Already picked and everything. Your body stuff are already in the bathroom also. I'm sure you'll like them," Joe said before he walked out the door and closed it.
I sighed and walked in the bathroom. It was pretty big and very contrary with the main room. It was white, pure white. I shrugged and walked to the shower. Sure enough, there were clothes and toiletries in there.
I lost count of how long I was in the bathroom, but when I got out, Joe was already was in my room.
"These clothes are cool," I said looking at them.
"Yes. I picked them out myself."
"Cool."
I was wearing black straight legs, a white v-neck, black and white hi-tops, and a black leather jacket.
"Come," Joe said gesturing me to the door. "Draco is waiting."
I nodded and followed him. I guess he didn't want to take the tour because when I went through the door, I suddenly appeared in the throne room with Joe behind me.
In the throne, was a man, not the average man, but a male nonetheless. He was 20 feet tall, sitting on a 15 foot throne. When he saw me he stepped off the throne and shrunk down to 6 foot.
I shuffled my feet nervously. "Um. Your Draco right? I was-"
I was cut off by Draco racing forward at unhuman like speeds and hugging me. I was surprised; I didn't expect him to do that to me.
"Son," He withdrew from the hug with happy tears brimming in his bright red eyes. "I'm so sorry I abandoned you. When your mother died, I had to give you to the carecenter because Zeus made my schedule too busy for me to take care of you. That's how I joined this organization. I'll tell you the rest later, but right now, you have to meet the people who swore to bless you."
"Wait, why would someone want to bless me? I have nothing and done nothing."
"It was a promise they made to me when I did them favors." He said.
I just nodded as Draco grabbed my arm and flashed me somewhere. When we were done, he let go my arm and gestured for me to follow. We were in some type of city, but when I looked out in the distance, the stars and the planets look closer. I noticed that we were in space when I saw Earth.
Draco pushed open the doors, revealing 12 huge beings. Putting two to two, I realized that these beings were the Primordials. When they saw us walk in the room, they had a look of understanding on their faces. Most of them flashed out but others stayed in.
The ones that stayed shrunk to human size and walked up to me and Draco. "Is he ready?" The man with the pale skin asked.
Draco said with pride in his voice. "Very."
He studied me, before touching my forehead with his index finger. A rush of power went through my body. He stepped away and flashed out the room. The other three men looked at each other before blessing me in turns.
Each time made me feel like I had so much caffeine. When they finished, I felt faint. Draco must of saw this, because he caught me before I fell down.
The man in the middle observed me. "Impossible. Most people would combust from that amount of power," He turned to Draco. "He certainly is the one of the prophecy," He said before flashing away with the other two.
After awhile of standing there, I regained my composture. "Thanks. Let's get back to Earth."
Draco nodded and flashed us to earth. As soon as he nodded he grabbed my arm and started dragging me. "Dad, why are you dragging me?"
"We have to see Ananke, the Primordial of fate," He said as he hurried along.
"Why?" I said as I tripped over a branch. Draco pulled me up and kept dragging me.
"To see the prophecy for your quest."
"Dad! I just got here! I'm not supposed to have a quest!"
"I doesn''t matter. Here we are," He said as we stopped at some bronze doors. Draco knocked three times on the door and opened the door was a beautiful woman, maybe 30 or older, with everything a sick man could want.
If I didn't have any sense, I would have been drooling all over her. "Draco! What is it that you want?"
"We need a prophecy for my son," He said as he gestured to me.
She looked at me like she just registered that I was here. "Oh Nexus. Yes. I have the right stuff for him," Quick as a cheetah, she snagged my arm and pulled me in her room. "I'll be done in a few hours," With that she slammed the door straight in Draco's face.
"Come." She said as she pulled me to the back room. In there were weapons and armor, but in the clearing in the middle of the room was a mummy.
I took a clear guess. "That's the Oracle?"
Ananke was shocked. "Yes. It's my very special Oracle. It is the most accurate and modern prophecy speaker in all of the universe. Now try her out and ask her your destiny," She said as she pushed me to it.
I walked up to it and asked. "What is my destiny?"
Unlike all the myths said, no green smoke poured out the mouth of the mummy. Instead, the mummy just spoke.
"You shall go west and face the god that will turn.
You will fight for promise and fail your word.
You shall be betrayed by one called friend.
And you shall fall for one that has no end."
When the mummy stopped speaking I turned around to see a white faced Ananke. "What's wrong?"
"You have a horrible yet bliss future ahead of you. I must inform Chaos that you need to train for your quest." She said as she walked away.
"Wait!" I called her. She stopped. "When do I leave for the quest?"
"In 4 years time," She said before she flashed away."
I walked out her room ans closed her door. I walked around the palace before I found my room. When I walked inside, on my bed were two bracelets, one necklace, and a note.
I walked over and grabbed the note. It read:
Hey Nexus.
Since you have a quest and stuff I decided to give you your own weapons. The black bracelets is a Titanium and Chaos metal sword. You can name them yourself. The red bracelet is a bow. The arrows automatically appears and never misses it's target. Then, last but not least, the silver necklace. When you pull it, it gives you armor made of Chaos metal. If you want to know about Chaos metal, ask Joe. And the last present from me is an offer. I always wanted a demigod assassin and I want you to be it. Just go to my temple if you accept.
Love,
Chaos.
I was bummed out. Why does everyone want to bless me? But I still wanted to be Chaos' assassin so I decided to go to his temple. When I arrived, nobody was around so I walked into the entrance. In there was a man with a cloak hiding his identity.
I steeled my courage. "Are you Chaos?"
His voice was deep and powerful. "Yes. Have you accepted my offer?"
"Yes."
No sooner than I said that, I started glowing black before it dissipated. "Why don't I feel or look any different?"
"You are too young. Keep training and growing you will feel and see the changes," He promised before he flashed away.
I should of known this was going to be hard. I sighed as I called Joe mentally. "Joe. Where's the training arena?"
It was going to be a long four years.
I'm sorry. It was shorter than the other ones and wasn't that exciting, but the point is that I'm still accepting OCs. And please... Don't be reluctant to tell me how you feel about this book. I hope you like the prophecy!
