chapter 4 : finaly meeting the man and the spirit branded

that night I had a dream so vivid and strange , I was in an island among the clouds , a place so beautiful and breath taking, a magnificent hall of white marble, statues of beautiful women standing tall on both sides , each and every one of them are beautiful without equal, their auras are different, some heroic and noble , others majestic and showing great wisdom but all of them are surrounding a tall set of marble stairs.

atop the stairs was a white throne , sitting on the throne was a man with wide shoulders white long hair and beard with eyes flickering with golden lightning.

I instinctively knew who it was .

my idol, the man , the legend of legends, king of the Greek gods and most importantly THE BIGGEST ADULTERER AND PLAY BOY IN MYTHOLOGY.

"welcome my child , to my hall in Olympus , I am .." without letting him finish I shouted in joy

" ZEUS!! , ITS AN HONOUR TO MEET THE REAL FATHER OF OLYMPUS , THE MAN WHO IMPREGNATED BOTH GODDESSES AND QUEENS , THE FATHER OF NEARLY ALL OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY, THE DEGENRATE OF ...)

" Stop you bastard! , are you trying to kill me ?"

zeus interrupted me rudely with lightning rumbling around and a panicked voice .

I loked around curiously , when I felt a shiver down my spine , then I found the reason , a statue of a woman carrying a torch and has a majestic crown on her he'd was emitting a really dark aura wich scared the hell out of us both .

' so the stories are true , the goddess of jealo... I mean wisdom is really scary ' I thought .

then a magistic feminine voice laced with mockery and disgust said " you truly found a fitting successor to carry on your legacy , God of debauchery , zeus "

" it's not my fault that all heroic men love beautiful women, hera , and all beautiful women love a heroic figure, and you know deep down that no matter what I'll always love you just as you love me " said zeus with a strained smile trying to hide his nervousness.

' am I supposed to gloss over the fact that his wife is literally his sister ? even if they didn't grow up together....., well I should mind my own business ' I thought while trying to blend into the background .

After a brief silence zeus said " our time is running out so let me talk to Julian first ." to wich she nodded with a frown

shortly after, the aura of the statue disappeared and zeus turned to me " I know you have alot of questions but we don't have time thanks to your fanboying , I will keep it simple so listen well "

After he made sure I was listening carefully he continued " that bolt of lightning that ended your life was my doing , and before you ask , no it was not an accident, it was the only way for me to brand your soul with my divnity and I can only send you to aldea , I chose your current family because their fate will allow you the biggest opportunity, to awakening your powers , as you know a true hero is forged by the fires of hardship , as for my goal , its finding someone to spread my legacy and heroic deeds into other worlds , and I chose you because you truly understood me and you had no real attachment to your previous life , that's all you need to know for now " when he explained all of that , I fell into deep thought .

there is alot of information that I could take from his long monologue, first my family's background is not what it seems and they have a lot of enemies , second being a spirit branded means being marked by a deity or a higher life form and some of them might be from other worlds , with different powers and experiences, and third I'm destined to face alot of bullshit in this life , fucking great .

After sorting out my mind I spoke " can you at least tell me what made you appear now , when you staid silent for the last 3 fucking years !"

it was suspicious and I had a sinking feeling that something bad is going to happen.

with a serious face he said " I've told you all of this to prepare you for your first true challenge, because if I didn't you will inevitably die and everyone you love as well , but I can't tell you the details because it violates my oath with the will of your world wich will sever our connection, all I can tell you is a warning , beware the sons of Ash , they will come for you on night of the ceto's blood festival ." his stern voice echoed in my mind and I noticed that I was fading away and before I can ask for a clarification, I opened my eyes to find myself back in my room.

as the morning sunlight shone brightly I muttered in frustration , ' talking alot and not saying much , that fucker could've at least told me how to control these powers to not harm others'

cutting my thoughts here I called for a maid to help me get ready for breakfast, and after that I'll have a long talk with my dear mother .
