The Prophecy of Fates

CHAPTER XLI: Οι Άμμοι του Χρόνου

041- THE SANDS OF CHRONOS

"I've been waiting for you, children of the gods.", kaagad akong napalingon sa likuran ko nang may magsalita galing dito.

"Did you like my surprise, my beloved niece? Are you happy to see your mother again?", to my surprise, I was greeted by an image of a man who looked almost the same age as the rest of us. He stood tall, and I mean taller than the rest of the guys in the class Primarius, with a very well-defined and perfectly-toned physique as he was not wearing anything on his upper body and there was only a black and gold cloth covering his lower half. Kitang-kita dito ang kakisigang binabalandra niya ngayon, and here I say it---he's unbelieveably attractive.

I also noticed weird markings---more like tattoos, that ran from his extensive chest, to his broad shoulders and arms. Like some sort of Ancient Greek insignias scattered across some certain parts of his body. His facial features also stood out from the rest, with his perfectly-sculpted jawline, pointed and high-bridged nose, mesmerizing, hawk-like eyes and dashing, raven-black hair that ran down to his shoulders. However, I immediately distanced myself away from him as soon as I met with his pair of vermillion-colored eyes. Nanlaki ang mata ko sa gulat. No f*cking way.

"You're---", he suddenly cut me off.

"Chronos, my dear. The primordial deity and personification of time itself. The first incarnation of the titan father of the Olympians. I am eternity. The father of time. I am Chronos. The quotidian... The recurrent... The passing of the years.", i-impossible. He's Chronos?! Why does he look... different?

"Were you surprised to see me in this form, my beloved niece? Did I take your breath away?", what in the name of the gods is he even saying?

"Liar. How can you be the lord Chronos?", what did he do?

I saw him smirk at me as his eyes turned to his huge scythe while playing with it in his hands. Maya-maya pa ay tumigil siya bago nagsalita...

"You're forgetting that I can bend time by my own will, Ahlkria. Despite my limitations, regaining my youthful self however, would be as easy as snapping my fingers for me. Why? Are you displeased by my real appearance? You prefer to see me as an old man?", he asked me in a mocking tone at halos hindi ako nakahinga sa gulat nang ilang segundo lang ay nasa harapan ko na siya. He stared at me as he caressed my cheek while licking his lips. Kaagad kong hinampas ang kamay niya palayo sakin sa gulat.

"Don't touch me again.", disgusting. Ano ba ang iniisip niya?

Kita ko ang pagtawa niya as he slowly walked towards my mother's direction. I immediately summoned my divine weapon as I glared at the both of them. Sandali akong napalingon sa paligid. Where are Sev and the others?

"It seems that your daughter isn't very fond of me, Hecate. How can she rule beside me if she continues to resist like this?", nanlaki ang mata ko sa narinig mula kay Chronos. Hindi naman siguro tama yung naiisip ko ngayon diba?

"What in the name of Zeus are you planning? And what did you do to my mother?", galit na saad ko pero nakita ko lang siyang ngumisi, as if trying to mock me even more.

"I'll be making you my queen of course, my beloved Ahlkria. And as for your mother, I didn't do anything to her. Choosing my side was her own will.", kaagad akong napangiwi sa narinig mula sa kanya.

"You're sick. I will never submit to the likes of you. You filthy, lying bastard.", iniisip ko palang yung gusto niyang mangyari ay tumatayo na ang balahibo ko. To think that some of the gods also committed incest, but experiencing it first-hand definitely makes me want to lose my lunch in disgust. Just the thought of it sickens me to the depths of Tartarus.
