Pandora's Box

Their Journey

Their they were, at Caucasus Mountain where Prometheus had been held prisoner for over 2 decades. Pyrrha was amazed, she couldn't believe her eyes. She had no idea where she was but she thought the scenery was beautiful.
" Where are we?" Pyrrha asked Deucalion while still in awe.
" Pyrrha this is the Caucasus Mountain. This is where my father has been held captive for all these years" Deucalion explained.
As soon as Pyrrha knew where she was fear rushed through her body.
" What! Why did you bring me here! Do you want to get me KILLED! I am in the same cave as Prometheus. Oh my gods!" Pyrrha was freaking out.
" It's ok! He's not as bad as the legends. He called us here to give us a message, he said it would help us." Deucalion tried to calm her down.
He could see it wasn't working though.
" Just give him a chance, he can't harm you he's in chains." Deucalion sadly said.
" Fine." Pyrrha finally spoke.
They walked through the dark and gray cave until they reached a point where Deucalion told her to stop. They turned around and there he was, tied up in rough silver chains, Prometheus.
" You came son." He smiled, " Oh you look exactly like your mother from what I have seen of her. Pyrrha isn't it, I am so glad my son married you and congrats on the wedding. "
Pyrrha smile, she couldn't help it. Now she wasn't so sure how she felt about Prometheus.
" Father, as much as I am glad to see you, why did you summon me." Deucalion asked.
" Oh yes, I have a very important message to give to the both of you. Zeus is planning to create a flood to wipe out the spirits and end this nonsense once and for all but for his plan to work humans need to be wiped out as well. He does not plan on recreating any mortal life after these ones are gone." Prometheus explained.
" How do you know all of this?" Pyrrha interrupted him.
" I have my resources and I do not wish to tell on them." He answered confidently.
For some reason Pyrrha knew he was telling the truth and she knew that they had to do something. Prometheus wouldn't just call them so they could do nothing.
" Why is Zeus doing this? What can we do to help?" Pyrrha asked quickly.
" I was getting to that. Zeus is also creating a flood to wipe out mankind for his own wicked reasons but enough about that. Ok, I have summoned you here to tell you that you need to get out of this mess, the both of you are innocent and never made Zeus angry." Deucalion tried to continue but Pyrrha interrupted him again.
" Uhhh, that's not exactly true. We might have made an enemy out of Zeus this morning at our wedding." Pyrrha stuttered.
"Ok, don't panic. I wasn't planning on telling Zeus anyways. So Deucalion, Pyrrha you two have to build an ark to survive the flood." Prometheus finally answered their question.
" An ark?" Deucalion asked as if he was not expecting that.
" Yes, the ark will keep you alive throughout the flood and after you are safe you have to come to me." He instructed. " Go we don't have much time to waste!"
Pyrrha and Deucalion looked into each others eyes and got out of the cave as quickly as possible. Deucalion knew a place where no one would know what they were doing. Deucalion also got materials to build the ark and they started to build an ark. They had no idea about what was to come, but Prometheus had given them orders and they knew they should follow them.
***
They had done it. They had actually built an ark and they knew the flood was close. The ark was made out of glossy wood and it looked beautiful, they were hoping it works as well as it looks.
They got on it and stayed on it until the day had come. They could hear people screaming and shouting for help. Water was every where, almost all mankind was dead.
They survived nine days of the flooding until reaching Mt. Parnassus. They were all alone in the world and they wanted to bring life back to the world. They were sitting on a rock, thinking about what would happen next when the Goddess of Prophecy, Themis came to them.
" Hello children, I see you have survived the flood." She pointed out. " Well you've done that part. Now I am here to help you with the next part."
" I'm sorry but who are you?" Pyrrha asked kindly.
" Oh my apologies, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Themis, Goddess of Prophecy." Themis announced.
