Family in Chaos

      After the war which Earth brought, the deities went back to Olympus. They are wounded, scarred, almost lost their souls while they are having war with their own daughter. When Zeus takes his rest, he was almost got killed by his own daughter. His wife came inside with his nude body.

      “Zeus this is what I’m saying, the apocalypse has arose.”

      “I am not afraid to kill my own daughter.” I am hesitant to hurt her, because I love her, she’s my loving daughter. “You know what a father can feel when he hurt her children.”

      “You are a fool Zeus; your daughter almost killed you.” You are hesitant to kill her? Then why did you kill your own son Nepheus!? “Really?”

      “I know what you are thinking, you are thinking, that I killed your son, our son Nepheus. He killed his own, he save us from the plague which the Archios did.”

      (Imaginative fictional character: Archios are the descendant of Chaos, the descendants of the black priest Nivadal. The one who took care of the big three deities. Nepheus was one of the Archios’s member, he protected Olympus when Nivadal tried to conquer the sacred city of Olympus. He was turned into a book, he was sealed somewhere in the world. That the descendant of Nivadal only knows. After Nepheus sacrificed himself, the dragon cavaliers who turned their loyalty to Nivadal. Zeus was angry, and captured and sealed Nivadal from the biggest star Nova. When he was there, Nivadal turned his own self into a book, the powerful book, the book HAVOC. And this was all kept into the chambers of secret, the heart of Zeus. Only Zeus and Hades knows what really happen when they fought with Nivadal.)

      “You know how hard to lose someone dearest to you.” I turned my back and walk away from him. I remember something special. I saw Nepeheus’ myrtle, the myrtle I kept for too long. I heard that if you bring the thing that your love one own in the fountain of life and immortality. The dead will rise and you can hug that person again. “I must find the hidden sanctuary of the fountain of life and immortality. I must revive my son.” I walk and went to Floreska. I met my human aunt there.

We talked and she shared the way going to Floreska. I’ve travelled for many days; I don’t want to step in Olympus, if I cannot revive my son. At last! I’ve found it, but the fountain of Life and immortality is not in a good shape. But I can still see the crystal like waters, the fountain which there is only throne. In the throne, the fountain is connected. But the borders were destroyed by time, when people lost their hopes. But I have strong hopes. I put his myrtle and recited the given words of my aunt. “I lost thee in the battle, I lost thee, and the magnitude Nivadal gave perished by the time. But it is written in the scrolls of Hermes and Athena that my son will see the star and sun and moon again. I pray to thee, revive my son.” I was hoping, that my son would be revived.

      I heard a great voice from the fountain.

      “I am Levia, the daughter of the Necromancer Thivia. I heard your prayer. But your son is alive, he was sealed by the time, sealed by his own father. Nepheus is alive, he is.”

      “What? His father said that he was killed.”

      “Hahahaha! Zeus?! How dare he, after he trampled my reputation, pride and love. He was lying all these years. Let me show you, but in one condition.” Hera is a fool, she cannot sense what am I, who am I, I am your precious Eris.

      “What is that condition?”

      “If you will see him, your soul will be lifted. And put into the chambers of Nivadal.”

      “Nivadal? Who are you?!” I used my spear, and almost cut her head.

      “Too harsh! Now Earth!”

      “Archadios illuma Satria! (Illuminate the sun’s arch, make her the vessel of darkness!)” I can hear the voice of Hera, she was shouting, hesitant to accept the crest. “Well mother, you were fooled by your human aunt. What a good job Persephone, you are too marvelous. Now Hades, use your power to burn her soul into the depths of your despair!”

      “What you just called me? Hades? Come on Earth, I’m still older than you.”

      “Apology, uncle do it now.”

      “You traitor! [Shouting] insolent, fool, and traitor!”

      “I shout in thy name of my father, thy name be bestowed upon the land. I honored my mother and my father, and now I may have all the days in the land which Zeus and I protected! MALEDICTION!”

      The body of my mother Hera, turned into ashes in no time. But it was rebuilt and became the vessel of Nepheus his son. I altered his memory, turned him into gray. “You will act as father’s wife.”

      “I will my sister.”

      “I give you this pendant; this may protect you from the muttering thoughts of our father.”

      “What would I do?”

      “You will open the chambers of secret which is hidden inside of him.”

      “I will kill our own father?”

      “No, he is what he is, the personification of loyalty, abundance, leader, and bravery. But deep within is the chaotic mind which he gained from the battle which my true mother Nivadal.”

      “We are not related, no, we are, because my mother was an outcast, she was the Norse god’s head. Odin, is my mother. But she was named after she became an outcast. And my mother was known as the murderer of gods. And she built the council of Archios. And I will rebuilt the council, with the help of you. ALL OF YOU!” their comrades shouted when Earth shouted! “DESTROY EACH PIECES OF THEM, LET PEOPLE HATE THEM!”

      You will see father, I will unveil all your secrets. Your dark heart! You intentions to kill the gods. You are a murderer!
