The Special Three: The Beginning

Prologue: The New Prophecy

The Olympians were having their annual winter solstice meeting with Hades as a guest. The usual arguments were going on.

"Mother Rhea always liked me best!"

"No way Poseidon! I was her favorite!"

"Everything's so boring! Why aren't there any new wars yet!"

"WHERE'S MY HAIRBRUSH!!! HERMES IF YOU TOOK IT AGAIN, I'LL TURN YOU INTO A SLUG!!!"

"I didn't do it! Well at least not this time..."

You know, the usual. Then, things started to go wrong. When a mummy dressed like a hippie walked into the throne room everyone shut up. Aphrodite even stopped accusing Hermes of stealing her hairbrush.

"Apollo!" Zeus boomed. "What is your Oracle doing here! Isn't it supposed to be at Camp Half-Blood?!"

The young god looked up at his father. "She has a prophecy for you dad, don't get your beard all tied in a knot, sheesh."

Then a raspy, almost reptilian voice filled the ears of those in the throne room.

"I, the Oracle of Delphi have a prophecy for Zeus, the king of the gods."

Zeus narrowed his eyes. "Go on."

"Then let this be heard by all the gods:

There will be three,

Kin of your kin,

To hold the power beyond their kind in their hands."

There was silence in the throne room as the Oracle uttered the prophecy and dissipated into thin air, probably on her way back to camp.

Zeus was the one to break up the silence. "Athena, what do you say we should do?"

Athena stood up. "Well father, obviously this prophecy is important. It says that there will be three and that they would be your kin-" she started but Dionysus interrupted.

"What's a kin?" He asked.

Athena sighed. "Kin is another word to describe a relative. As I was saying, the three mentioned will have to be, in one way or another related to Zeus. Also, they would be more powerful than their kind, or species if you will."

"But that could be anyone! You know how Zeus is!" Poseidon said.

"Tell me about it." muttered Hera.

"Well, Poseidon it could also very well be one of your children. After all, you are his brother." Athena retorted. This seemed to shut him up.

"Well that's impossible! It could be literally anyone on Earth, how do we find them?!" Artemis exclaimed.

"It's true that it could be anyone Artemis, but I believe the best we can do is wait, and let them reveal themselves." Athena turned to Zeus. "What do you say father?"

"I say we do exactly what Athena said we should do!" Zeus said as if snapping out I a daydream. You could vaguely hear someone mutter 'idiot' under their breath. "Well then! Council over!" Zeus shouted and with a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, he left the room and the council broke up.
