The Gifted - NCT Fanfiction

Chapter 74

All eyes were on me, and I couldn't feel more anxious, I felt for a split second that I didn't belong here, but I felt a little better when I saw my friends giving me encouraging smiles.

"Venelia" I looked up at Chiron, who was the one who called me "I know you might be wondering why have we called you here if your father isn't here to call you like the rest, but we have received a letter from the underworld."

Great, a letter.

I couldn't even see the bastard's face, my anger riled me up.

How can he do this to me?

I felt embarrassed, they all had the chance of meeting their parents and having a small interaction while all I had was a letter, that probably he didn't even write himself.

"Alright" I told him "anything that I need to know?"

"I will read the letter" mentioned Mr. D. as he got close, he was looking from the distance coming and going, but now he was here in the room with us.

A piece of darkened paper appeared in front of him and he grabbed it, looked at it and cleared his throat, ready to start reading it.

"As the god of peaceful death, I, Thanatos present my only half-blood son Renjun to be a part of the quest that the Olympians have requested representing me, and take a gift from the soul sphere as the rest of the half-bloods, and I believe he will do it to the best of his abilities" Mr. D. read and I couldn't even believe what he was saying, because as he read the letter I realized it wasn't me the one who was called, it was Renjun, and even though I was happy for him getting chosen, I was still concerned for his health, and now also I was clearly frustrated by the fact that my father wasn't giving any information about me.

"Renjun, welcome!" I turned to the door as I heard Chiron greet my friend, I smiled his way and he did the same, he looked a bit worn out, but I was very glad he was feeling better "please stay still in front of the soul sphere as it dictates your gift, then you can sit down again, we heard you are in a delicate state."

He nodded and with the help of the twins, who were the ones who brought him here, which I didn't notice when they left, he got closer to where he is supposed to stand.

I looked at him, and he was in a trance looking at the sphere, and I was also almost in a trance looking at it, waiting for the final color to appear.

Our eyes connected and he scrunched his nose, as he pointed at his forearm, it was most likely that the twins had explained to him the situation and showed him their tattoos, and obviously he was expecting me to have mine already.

I nodded my head no and I showed him both of my arms, and he furrowed his eyebrows, not understanding why they were both empty, but I rose both of my shoulders.

"Ice"

He looked forward as a baby blue ice color was on the sphere, I clapped and the rest followed me, as he bowed to the gods and Chiron, to then stepped back with the help of the two kids of Apollo as he looked at his new tattoo that just appeared.

"Is that it?" Chiron asked and Mr. D. nodded "the letter was from the underworld, I assumed it would involve Venelia."

"Clearly, I am not worthy" I mentioned and I could see some distressed expressions "I appreciate the effort, but if my presence isn't required, I better leave."

"Venelia, maybe there was a slight delay, I am aware that your father had sent a letter" Chiron tried to explain and cheer me up, but it wasn't working, it was only more embarrassing, as the gods were still there and were observing what was going down.
