Jayden stepped out of the TARDIS, the air shimmering with an ethereal glow as he stood on the vast marble terrace of Mount Olympus. The sky above was painted with hues of gold and azure, and a gentle breeze swept through, carrying the scent of blooming ambrosia. In that moment, Jayden felt the weight of destiny pressing upon him—a weight that had accumulated over years of unanswered questions and buried desires.

After an enlightening trip to Washington, D.C., where he discovered echoes of his divine heritage, he had resolved to seek out the one figure who could reveal the truth about his past: Zeus, the king of the gods. No longer content to remain in the dark about his origins, Jayden had kissed the Scarlet Witch, a powerful ally whose abilities had guided him through treacherous paths, and asked the Doctor to take him to the heart of the divine.

As he took his first steps onto the ancient steps of Olympus, he was greeted by the thunderous laughter of his father. Zeus stood before him, cloaked in robes of swirling clouds, his long hair glinting like silver in the sunlight. He radiated power, and his warm, booming voice seemed to resonate with the very essence of the earth itself.

"Welcome, Jayden, to Mount Olympus!" Zeus proclaimed, his eyes twinkling with affection and mischief. "I have awaited this day— a day when the son I never acknowledged would seek me out."

Jayden felt a mix of emotions—excitement, fear, and an undercurrent of resentment. "Why did you leave me, Father? Why was I never found?" His voice trembled slightly, yet it held a firmness that surprised even him.

Zeus stepped down from his pedestal, the light around him shimmering as he approached Jayden. He knelt before his son, a rare gesture of humility from the king of the gods. "There are many facets to my story, son. In my pursuit to maintain order among the gods and mortals, I made decisions that, at the time, seemed necessary." He paused, the gravity of his admission hanging in the air between them. "You were born during a time of great upheaval—a time when hidden truths could mean destruction. Your existence was both a blessing and a burden."

A flicker of understanding crossed Jayden's face, but the ache in his heart remained. "But I have lived without knowing who I was, struggling to find my place in a world that felt foreign. You had a choice, and you chose to abandon me."

Zeus nodded solemnly. "I cannot change the past, but I can help you understand your heritage. You carry within you the blood of the gods, which makes you powerful beyond comprehension. With great power comes a great burden—and a destiny intertwined with both the divine and the mortal realms."

Intrigued, Jayden considered his father's words. Despite the bitterness that swirled inside him, he had always felt an inexplicable connection to the myths and legends of the world. Perhaps this connection was more than mere fascination; perhaps it was a piece of himself longing to break free.

"What must I do?" Jayden asked, his voice steadier now. The desire to forge a path into a brighter future ignited within him. "I want to understand my role. I want to belong."

Zeus smiled, pride radiating from his form. "You have much to learn. There are trials ahead, challenges that will test you. But if you are willing, I will guide you. Together, we can unite the realms of gods and men. Together, we can unravel the mysteries of your past and shape the future."

Jayden felt an electric thrill course through him. This was his chance to reclaim his identity, to weave himself into the tapestry of divine legends. "I am ready," he stated firmly, determination gleaming in his eyes.

With his father's hand resting on his shoulder, Jayden took his first step deeper into Olympus, ready to embrace the adventure that awaited him—the legacy of his lineage, the trials of the divine, and the vibrant tapestry of his own destiny unfurling before him.
