𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤...𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧. Following Kronos orders to do this, to become his vessel.

And while I never wanted this, I had made a deal. Let me spend one day with the love of my life and I fully surrender myself to him.

He of course was intrigued and agreed.

I stared at the door and touched the letters that wrote out my last name, Castellan.

My mind was unclear but I could t have that and snapped out of it and pulled away, my body was starting to turn around to just run and leave...

I couldn't do it...I couldn't...but before I could leave, I suddenly heard the door open, and I heard "who is that?"

Slowly I turned around and faced my mother... after years of not seeing her she was there standing as she gasped, "my son! My Luke! You're home..." she cried out and I stared at her.

She smiled pulling me inside, but I didn't know what to say or how to speak, it was like I lost my ability to do just that. She started to drag my arm inside and to the kitchen, it had been cleaned up and my mother recently had begun her routine again.

One that terrified me...she handed burnt cookies and sandwiches as she set down a cup to drink as she held my shoulders, "I've missed you so much! You've gotten so tall! So big! Oh and your beautiful eyes, just like your father."

My body finally tensed up hearing that and I tried to move away from my mother. Even if it was starting to become true, I stared at a photo of Hermes. He stood there tall and proud as if he should be awarded something.

His stupid fucking face just stared at me smiling in conscience, he's probably looking at me and laughing at my demise...

I've turned into him, someone who is now going to hurt many people however I don't mean to hurt anyone but he fucking decided to hurt anyone he touched just like the other Gods.

That's why I'm doing this...but u didn't want my friends to get hurt, but of course Kronos had other plans...that I quickly fell for.

Funny enough...if there would be a future where I could undo all of my father's mistakes....

The one thing I would make sure of...is that they never lose their mother...they wouldn't lose her...

My mother just grinned and couldn't stop, I sat down staring at the food in front of me as she told me, "Eat up, big boys need food to grow and be strong and healthy." She kissed my head of hair and I just...I couldn't...

I was now 21...and my mom still thought I had to...grow up.

Maybe I missed that...maybe I missed that part of a normal life, being able to just go to school, come home, maybe challenge a monster or two if they found me walking home from school.

But I never got that, I ran away and left my mom, because I wanted a better life, I couldn't see her anymore...I just hated it, I hate my life.

I grabbed the sandwich and stared at it as tears welled up in my eyes so much my sight became glossy. My mom hummed a small tune as she cooked more for me. A tear ran down my eye and down my face to my chin, falling onto my lap.

Slowly I set the sandwich down and looked up at my mother and walked over to her.

I was given orders by Kronos.

I needed to bathe in the River Styx in order to gain the Curse of Achilles but as I reached further, I heard the front door open and keys jingle. I panicked and turned around as my mother dropped her tray of cookies and it slammed right in the ground.
