Oracles of Olympus: Episode 3
21st Century Oracles pt. 2
The Familiar, servants of the Oracles, a fusion of the mortal spirit and the Gods' power given form. When an Oracles is in danger, the Familiar will answer the call for good or for ill. Ash called his Familiar, Thera, a bull as black as night with horns as bright as the hottest flames. He had come to the city to look for Zeus' oracles, only to be surrounded by Ghouls.
"Thera, charge!" Ash yelled. Thera lower his horns and charged at full speed, goring multiple Ghouls. Ash summoned his hammer and struck it on the ground, creating a shockwave of flames. "Well, what are you waiting for? Summon your Familiar, kid!" Ash yelled.
My name is Aiden, not kid!" he complained. Aiden struck down four more ghouls with his chakrams. "I have no idea what you're talking about, I don't have a familiar, whatever that is" Aiden said while killing more ghouls. Ash nodded his head in disbelief.
"Shit, are you kidding me?" he thought. The bridge was a sea of flames, turning the once proud bridge into a battle-scarred terrain. "Hey kid, just stay back and handle the stragglers," he said. Aiden wanted to protest, but the ghouls kept on interrupting. "Thera, let's go!" he ordered charging into battle.
Just as the Oracles set their plan into motion, a bus flew out of nowhere, and cries of distress could be heard. "Crap, fire guy, there are people still on the bridge," Aiden yelled at Ash. Ash nodded and ordered Thera to save the bus. A giant ghoul then charged at Ash. "Watch out!" he yelled.
"Damn, a Behemoth, sorry kid I got my hands full over here," Ash said dodging the Behemoth's blows. Thera mows down the ghouls trying to get at the bus, but is slowed down each time. "Shit, Thera's not going to make it!" he thought. Aiden tries to get to the bus himself, but is blocked from his destination.
With the Oracles and Thera occupied with the ghouls, the full of people comes dangerously close to falling. "NO!" Aiden yelled with a horrified gaze. Aiden starts to glow and blows back the ghouls surrounding him, and his glyph starts to glow, a winged figure appeared. "Ride the Lightning, Zephyrus!" he yelled. The lightning eagle springs into action.
