A/N: Hi! Yeah, so this is going to take place (sort of) of the diary thing. Sorry it's a short chapter, but I only wrote it this morning, and it's all until chapter two. You can thank my inspiration for this to the author "Ask the Gods!". I haven't gotten the actual prophecy yet, but hopefully it'll be in the next chapter. Don't worry, the next chapter will be longer. Hope you enjoy!

The Prophecy

Part I

Demeter sat in her favorite chair in Michael's home. Her younger brother, Zeus, was pacing in front of her. "Zeus, brother, stop worrying over me. I'm fine!" Zeus glanced at his older sister. "Demeter, Chiron and Dionysius contacted me a few days ago. Apparently, the oracle had, uh, gone for a walk." Demeter sat up. "She left the attic?!" Zeus looked around wildly. "Quiet, Demeter! I'm sure Apollo already knows this, and we must tell the others, but for right now, you are the only person- er, goddess- I have told. I'd like to keep it that way."

Demeter sat back. "And why me first? Should you not tell Poseidon and Hades? Or at least discuss this with Apollo?" Zeus shook his head. "Demeter, I am telling you this now because…well, because the oracle spoke a prophecy."

"What?!"

"Demeter, quiet! Yes, she prophesied of a child, yet to be born, who will be even more powerful than any of mine, Poseidon's, or Hades' children. And," Zeus paused. Demeter leaned forward. "Tell me, brother," Demeter pleaded. "Tell me who the child is, will you?"

Zeus breathed in deeply, knelt in front of his older sister, and looked her straight in the eye. "The child of the prophecy is yours, sister. The one you carry even now."
