After the prophecy was revealed, the senate exploded into chaos.

There were numerous, "But Saturn is our enemy, Gaea is our enemy, Ouranos should be dead, I like cheese." (I don't know where that last one came from.) Alexis made a ridiculously loud whistle, which was a legacy of Apollo thing, to gain the senate's attention.

"Regardless if Gaea and Kronos, I mean Saturn, are our enemies, they will help destroy Ouranos, as they did millennia ago," she said.

A random voice from the crowd shouted, "Ouranos hasn't even risen yet!" The senate roared in approval.

"What the senate says is true," Greg said. "Until there is evidence of Ouranos rising, we cannot let Saturn or Gaea rise." I sighed, knowing that he was right. Just because there was a prophecy, it didn't mean that it would happen immediately.

I knew Alexis agreed with me when she said, "Greg isn't wrong, we have no reason to believe that Ouranos has enough power to rise."

"So, are we dismissed?" one of the centurions asked.

"Until Uranus begins to rise, no," Greg replied. "Meeting adjourned." We all exited the building and I caught up to Alexis.

"Sorry about telling you to set a meeting for nothing," I told her.

"Well, it wasn't for nothing," She replied. "At least we know the prophecy now."

"I guess so," I grumbled, beginning to walk back to the barracks. Today was a free day for the campers, so I didn't really have anything planned. Also, considering it was only noon, I couldn't just sit around. I walked over towards the hill that surrounded the camp and sat down. This was my favorite spot to think. That was when I heard my sister yelling for help from the woods behind me. It didn't make sense, considering that she should've been in New Rome, but I had to follow the voice. I ran into the woods outside of New Rome and began chasing the sound. For some reason, the cries for help seemed to go farther into the woods, like Alexis was being carried away by something. I realized that the voice was fading to rapidly, even my top flying speed wasn't fast enough to catch it. Once the voice was no longer hearable, I was in a clearing in the forest. I was about to head back to New Rome to see if Alexis was at Camp when a woman whose features changed rapidly appeared in he clearing. I recognized her as Aphrodite, as I had heard that her appearance changes into different looks constantly.

If seeing her hadn't made me angry enough, Zeus suddenly appeared from the sky yelling, "Hera?"

Upon him landing, I immediately equipped Skyslash. He looked over at me and said," Hello Eric, I need to talk to you about what happened."

"We're way past talking," I replied, tightening my grip on my sword.

I was about to charge when a bright light appeared in the sky. I was sure that if I was a mortal, I would've been vaporized. I suddenly felt very weak, as if the energy in my body was being sucked out. I glanced over at Zeus and Aphrodite, and they seemed to have the same problem as me. I went to fly to the light to investigate, or fight, or whatever I had to do, but I realized that I couldn't fly. Suddenly, the feeling stopped, but I still felt incredibly weak, to the point where I could barely stand. I looked up and saw a man who looked similar to Zeus, but looked much more ancient and had pure white hair. He almost looked like he was one with the sky. My jaw dropped all the way to Tartarus once I realized who I been looking at. There, no more than 200 feet away, (flew?) Ouranos, primordial of the heavens. Also, he was my father.

"I'm sorry I must do this to you son," he said. Really, it wasn't said, it was like he was speaking to me from every direction at once. "However, if you join me, you can get revenge on your mother for putting you away for millennia."

"I've been alive for millennia?" I shouted back, surprised at how much energy it took to speak.

"And once you discover your powers, you will be alive for many more," he replied. "And you can get rid of Gaea, for eternity this time."

"How?" I shouted back.

"If you join me, I will tell you," he replied. I'm not going to lie, I almost joined him. However, I had to think about the ones closest to me. No matter how much my father favored me, he wouldn't allow them to live, being children of the Olympians. I had to choose the lesser of two evils.

"I'm sorry, but I have to decline," I replied.

"I'm sorry, but I must do this," he replied, sounding genuinely sad. He formed a bolt of lightning that would have made Zeus jealous and threw towards me while flashing away. I put my sword in front me to deflect it, but it didn't work. The lightning bolt hit me square in the chest. Instead of absorbing it, like I should've, I felt searing pain cover my entire body as my eyelids began to close against my own will.
