Nothing Like The Rest

Prologue

Alon's POV

3000 Years ago

Humans.

Disgusting pieces of shit. That's all they are and it's all they ever will be.

Vile creatures that plague mother Gaia, they infect Father Pontus, and are destroying Lady Demeter.

Humans.

Kind and compassionate souls that have learnt over the millennia to work together and evolve as a whole.

Hard workers that never seem to get tired of new discoveries. Always hoping for something new to happen every single day if their lives.

These people that seem to be able to do the most abominable actions on the earth's surface and yet still manage to always find new ways to prove their benevolence and kind heart.

They have always been the favorites of Mother Chaos, they have always been her best creation, her final and best piece of work.

So kind, so cruel, so selfish, so selfless, they are everything that our kind will never be. They are simply unique.

They are united and have always been united.

I always thought that they were nothing more than bugs that deserved to be crushed. Until I fell in love with one of them.

I will never love anyone the way I loved him, I don't want to love anyone the way I loved him and I honestly don't have the strength to feel love anymore.

I enter my chamber and get my things ready. In my case that would be; my father's golden sword, my leather sandals, my brother's-

It's been so long since I went to his grave hasn't it? He died because of them too. Humans.

"Where do you think you're going?" I turn around and see my father glaring at me with an accusatory glare.

"I wanted to go on a trip to Rome," I am technically not lying to him so I should technically not be feeling like a piece of discarded flesh.

I wait for his response but he does nothing but stare at me intensely. I feel like I'm being stripped of my skin, I've never enjoyed lying to anyone and especially not to him.

He smirks, " My son, we both know that it's impossible to lie to Apollo himself, we both know that lying isn't something that you enjoy," I made the mistake of blinking and before I even knew it we he was standing right in front of me, " and finally, we both know that if I want something then I'm going to get it. Talk."

Silence.

That's all I could give him as it is. I feel the tears stinging my eyes and he must've noticed because his gaze immediately softens and he crushes me in a tight hug.

He grabs me by my chin and looks me in the eyes. We say nothing because there is nothing that needs to be said. We keep on holding each other for who knows how long before I finally let go.

"Father, I need this, we need this." He looks hurt, his golden eyes have lost their ethereal glow. We both are.

"Will you ever come back? Can you promise me that you won't leave me forever?" His voice breaks at the the last word and his eyes now have a glassy glow.
