Oracles of Olympus: Episode One
A Goddess' Strength & a Mother's Regret

A week later, by Zeus' order, an Olympian Summit was called. Rarely have all twelve of the Olympians meet on Olympus, only on one occasion, the war against the Titans. This was a debate whether to involve the mortals in their war once again. However, there were some that were reluctant to involve the mortal, but for one it was personal. A week before the summit in the mortal realm, while Zeus and Hephaestus were discussing the incident with the Soul Lock, one was about to make a heart wrenching decision. "The Titans will return and when they do, the mortal realm will be a battlefield, but do I really want involve him, even if it is to protect him?" the voice said sadly. While the goddess contemplates her decision, she hears a hated, familiar voice. "My, my second guessing yourself? Not real becoming of a goddess of wisdom, eh Athena?" the voice said tauntingly. Soon after hearing that voice, Athena's eyes went from worrying to cold. "What do you want, Ares? " Athena said coldly. Are s, the god of war, appeared out of thin air, with a smile as chilling as his aura. "Bravo, very good Athena, you haven't lost a step in six thousand years." Ares said while clapping his hands. In this emotional moment, Athena was in no mood for Ares' taunting. " . ?" Athena said, growing more and angrier. Ares, not moved by her anger calmly delivered his message. "You came all the way here to tell me this? I already know of this" Athena said. Ares is slightly surprised at her response, but remembers how close Athena is to Zeus' counsel. "Oh, if so, I'm guessing you've chosen your oracle already?" said Ares approaching Athena. Athena readies her blade, but stopped when Ares stopped at the ledge. Athena and Ares have never been allies; in fact if it weren't for the treaty of peace, which forbids gods, especially gods as powerful as the Olympians, from warring against one another, they would have fought a long time ago. "So that's him, interesting choice, but I wonder how he would feel to find that the one who chose him was in fact his…" Athena interrupted Ares with her blade at Ares' throat. "If you don't want to invite my wrath, you won't finish that sentence" Athena said angrily. "My, such a temper, you should really watch it, unless someone watches it for you." Ares said calmly with his blade at Athena's throat. "Just try it, you're not the only god of war here" Athena said unimpressed. Ares just smile and retreats his blade. "As much as I want to wipe the floor with your smug face, I can't do it, lucky you. I just came here to deliver a message." He says turning away," oh do try to be on time, the old man can tolerate a lot of things, but he won't tolerate a god ignoring his orders, again." He left, just as quickly as he appeared. Calmed, she looks back at the city. "I'm sorry; it was never my intention to get you involved with our foolishness. If you wish, you can hate me just like him. Whatever happens, know that I am proud of you, my son." With that message, Athena returned to Olympus, with tears in her eyes, knowing that she sent her only son off to war and maybe condemning him to his death. And so a week later, Zeus's decree, all Olympians met for the summit to discuss the erosion of the Soul Lock and the approaching threat of the Titans. By unanimous decision, the Olympians agreed to send their choice of mortal off to war starting their pre-emptive strike. The Second Olympian/Titan war has begun.

It begins….
