Issei Demigod of Olympus

Deja Vu

( Issei's Dream)

A golden hall, shining so brightly it made the world around it look like pure darkness. Issei sat by the orange tree, joined by shadows and the wind, watching the hall from afar. So much time had gone by for him, since he last saw it. The fenced gate of his home, inviting him to return inside its walls.

Yet he felt the shadows and wind anger towards the gate, towards the hall. Towards the people who reside within. They wanted him to stay, and keep the tree safe. The grassy fields danced for him, wishing him to join it, to stay in this little paradise. He felt at peace here.

He turned away from the golden hall, ignoring its siren's call of grandeur. As he turned, the world became light once more and the endless fields of grass and its mountain range, now held more within it. A young man and woman, sitting together by another orange, a little smaller than his own. Hand in hand they sat, watching the plantation that sprouted from the ground.

Silver haired was the woman, and happiness in sight The man was brown haired and head over heels for the woman by his side. It was love, pure as it could be. The woman held a small child in her arms, their child. Silver hair and loving brown eyes. He walked closer to them, wanting to see them more. A voice screamed inside him to join them.

Flashing glimpse of his parents ran through his mind, yet those and the sight before him mirrored each other so closely he could barely tell one from another. His heart beat with such tremendous force, that every blood vessel began to boil from the pain. The grass went ablaze, as Issei fell on his knees, unable to keep going.

But the sight. The trio. The family. They had turned towards him, inviting him to join them. Wordlessly, they called out for him to keep going. To push through the pain. To burn everything." Quit the thought, hero." He sat under the tree once more, the pain and burning were gone. So two was the family, now instead the three sisters had taken his line of sight. The fates, each smiling widely.

" But it seems your memories are returning." Noon commented. She leaned in, putting the back of her hand on his forehead." It's as you feared sister, the creature is experiencing Reincarnate Flue." Noon retracted her hand, with Dawn looking at Issei with a look of pity." Indeed. He is fearful, now even more so. A ticking time bomb times two." Eve spoke, as she got closer and began to examine him in more detail.

" Why are you here?" He felt himself finding a sensation of being awake, yet still under the control of the dream. He could only affect himself, not the contents." Because we wanted to see how the reveal of your birth would affect you." Dawn said, as Issei felt a glimpse of the family flash by his eyes." That family.. Was I-" Noon put a finger on his lips, as she put one against her own, shushing him.

" Don't spoil the mood. We readers and the writer do not want you to ruin your story's excitement." She giggled softly, grabbing an orange and peeling it." Mind them not, they seek to satisfy themselves. I want to help, so too does Azazel."," Azazel?" Eve winked once, getting off him, done with her examination." But really, the story is already written, you must simply follow its plot." He saw the golden hall again.

Something came flying from its doors. A man. The messenger of the Gods.

( Gremory Territory, Irina and Issei's Room)

" Hermes.." He sat up just as the words came out of his mouth, with the dream remaining fresh in his mind. It had been more like a memory, then a dream. The burning, the pain, feeling of grass and shade from the tree. It had been so real, that he was unsure it could have been a dream. The Fates words also kept echoing through his head.' Memories returning? Reincarnation Flue? Trust Azazel?' Issei felt overwhelmed.
