Author's Note: To those who have been asking if I am a Filipino my answer is no. I just live in the Philippines , knows how to speak Filipino, English and Chinese and have a grandmother who is a Filipino. Get my point? Thanks for all of your reviews! I really appreciate it! Oh and this is Mary's POV but don't worry the next chapter is Nico's.
I don't know when was the time I fell asleep but the next thing I knew I was dreaming. I was dreaming about a waste land where teenagers, adults and children are fighting each other with no end in sight. A girl caught my eyes. She has long black hair, pale skin and dark black eyes. She's like the girl version of Nico, only more mysterious than him. Each of her moves are so graceful.
She is fighting a child around 10 years old, she have the upper hand when it comes to height and strength but none of her attacks are not even hurting her enemy. Holding on her sword she slashes towards the boy but the boy seems to be dodging all her attacks as if he has a force field surrounding him.
"Agnes Tan De Castro, the beautiful daughter of Hecate. She is your mother, a beautiful lady from a small poor country. People always disregard her and think lowly of her but she never backs down. She is always full of hope. That's what I like about your mother." I turned around and saw a man. He is neither old nor young. His dark hair seems to be flowing in the air and his clothes shows authority.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"You still do not know? I see you need to see more in order to find out." The scenery changes, everything turns into darkness and the next thing I know I was in a forest. My mother lay in the middle a wound on her stomach. A man with short black hair around her age came and gives food to her then treat her wounds.
"This is the night that I finally have the courage to show up. Your mother is a treasure among women but as I have told you people don't see that. They don't like your mother, for she is different, back then things are different. I wish she could have just live in your era."
"Father?" I asked.
"Yes, finally you know who I am. I am your father, the god of underworld, Hades. I really love your mother even though I am forbidden to. See you aren't supposed to be born. I made a promise with my brothers to never ever have a child, I don't want to be punished so I hid you to a place where no one will ever find you, a place not so hidden, a place where you could live a happy life away from danger but I was wrong to hide everything. I am sorry to take away your identity; it was only to protect you because I love your mother."
"You love mother, you never ever loved me. It's not the same thing. You never really ever cared!" I yelled at him.
"I care about you, that's why I sent Nico towards you." He explained. I began to remember all of the times that Nico have helped me. We have only known each other for 2 days but he have already helped me.
"Nico helped me not because you ordered him to! He did It because he wanted to! Nico is not your servant! He's your son! You never ever really cared for me or Nico!"
