Thunder & Shadow - SuperCorp (EN)

Prologue

Darkness reigned over the whole camp, yet Director Chiron was still standing, arms crossed on his chest, waiting in front of his bungalow. He didn't know what, but he knew something was going to happen, after a whole millennia he had learned to interpret the signs the Olympians sent him. Chiron was beginning to get impatient, the centaur hit the ground with his heels, since the time he led the Half-Blood Camp he had learned to control his impatience. To manage all these young demigods, to collect them, to raise them, to protect them, to teach them to fight, to support them, to see them fall in battle or during their quests, all these trials had taught him patience and wisdom. Yet that night, the centaur was not patient, it was then that he heard someone approaching, Samantha Arias, one of the oldest of the camp, one of his close advisors, an outstanding warrior and yet very wise for a daughter of Ares. She helped him in most of his tasks, decisions and she was only twenty years old. The brunette approached the director slowly, her hazel eyes filled with malice looking at him in the corner.

"So? What are you waiting for since the twilight?" she asked.

"A sign ..."

"You think that by standing here with your arms crossed, your sign will magically appear" she laughed.

"It will happen, I'm sure of that!"

The centaur continued to look at the horizon and became calm because of the water until a blinding blue light springs out of nowhere. The Oracle of Delphi had just appeared in front of Chiron and the daughter of the God of war, his disjointed mouth announced as usual a chill blood prophecy.

"Thunder's child, Shadow's child, the East they will join, the blood they will pour in. The eight shames of Olympus will come back, from the bowels of the Earth they will come out and from the cursed hand of a parent, the children of the Big Three will perish." said the Oracle gravely.

Without waiting for a particular answer, the Oracle disappeared in dust in front of the two interlocutors. Chiron's expression became serious, he would have loved anything but not a prophecy announcing the impending death of some of his half-blood. He knew that a prophecy had several readings, but this one seemed clear enough, he looked at Samantha who also understood.

"Shadow's child ... She was talking about Lena, wasn't she?" she asked innocently.

"She's the only child of Hades alive, so yes, it can be only her." replied the centaur sadly.

"Thunder's child? There is no child of Zeus at the camp."

"There is one, she has not arrived at the colony yet, but Alex should bring her soon," he says. "You will not talk about the prophecy to anyone yet, Lena can not know, she will want to go on a quest and you saw what the end of the prophecy announces, I do not want to risk losing her for now. "

Samantha didn't answer, she only nodded solemnly. Chiron could trust her, despite that he felt some stress. The prophecy announced by the Oracle was terrifying, but he knew deep down that Lena would go on this quest and that Zeus' daughter would go with her, but would they come back? This question remained unanswered on Chiron's lips, the destiny of the two children of the elder gods was now written, and the centaur could not prevent them very long from fulfilling their destinies.
