When you here of gods of Greek what comes on your mind?

This tale begins in the state of New York on a sinister blood moon night it was raining heavenly and thunder was rumbling as if Zeus knew himself the danger that had just entered the world.Under the sinister blood moon a child was born and the moon stood a witness of the child who held the world's fate in the palm of his hand . He was born at home his grandmother as his midwife ,"I shall name him Kona for he is my strength and my weakness ,"his mother said as she held her in her arm . The child grew up normal but something was different with him not only was he intellectually smart for his age but he never had any illness or futal injuries even when he fell or had fatal accident as he grew something that was peculiar to many except his grandmother who seemed to know what was going on with him. It was in May during the summer holidays when everything begun changing in Kona's life he was going to turn sixteen soon that day when he came home he found a strange man talking to his grandmother and his mother was in her room crying ."What's wrong mum ?Why are you crying mum?"Kona asked his mother ."Your grandmother wants you to go with him ,and leave me ."his mother spoke at her peak of melancholy."Kona come here with your mother here we want to talk with the two of you !"his grand mum called to them ."It's okay mum there must be a reason for this let's go and see what she has to say grandma is wise and she knows whats good for us all ,"Kona said, this made his mother realise how grown a man his son had become ,he had begun speaking like the man of the house ever since he had realised the absence of a father figure in his life not only did he speak but also acted like the the man of the house . In the living room his grand mother begun to speak ," I believe in you Kona and as a man it won't be had to digest what am about to tell you so listen .You've had about gods of Greek well am here to tell you that they aren't myths and you are but one of they're demihuman children and it is time to tell you the truth ,we don't know who your father is since your mother was drunk the day they met but as per now you're not safe with as so we are sending you to stay with the other demigods in the DMD phantom island there your father will reveal himself to you and you'll be safe ." All this was too much for him to take the world begun spinning and then all went blank ,the next thing he knew was that he was in some kind of flying chariot and then he blanked out again and finally when he gained his conciousness he found himself in a room covered with linen on its walls the bed he was on was made of a very soft material,he still felt alittle fuzzy,he looked around and saw a lady who was not so human as he was green and has leaves instead of hair,"How are you Kona you sure got gut I'll tell you that most new comers freak out when they see me ,ow!excuse my manners am Aphilia an nymph and your nurse ."the lady spoke all this while Kona was quite and still like a statue trying to recall what he was missing then with a sharp pain as if he had head-on collision with the memory the words of his mom before he fell fully unconscious,"Don't ever forget that I love you son....."as he remembered this a surge of emotions filled him and he bursted out like a lost two year old ,"Where's my mother ?I want my mother !"he demanded as he went out of the nursing room he shouted and the nymph went to call the man who had brought him .

CHAPTER 9

That day was the best day in Kona's entire life , he couldn't sleep the whole night ,he still felt her tender strawberry pink lips .In the morning even Alex who was the last to notice anything, Andrew teased him the wine was concentrate in his blood in that unlike us he was seventy percent wine .

That day the dream or should I say the vision came with heavenly wrath , he felt it's rage that was evident in the change in the aura of it's power that had become sinister , the sword cried to him as if in lament ,"why have you forsaken me master am I not good enough for you !". He awoke from the dream trembling and drooping in sweat in the temple , next to Zeus statue .

He hastily moved to his quarters in the Apollo village but when he arrived sleep became a thing of the past and he had to stay awake all night since his conciousness denied him to . In the morning he was like a zombie,his movement was sloppy and vague even his thinking was slow that day .

"Morning Kona how are you today ?Did you sleep well ?"Cleo was first to ask ."Am fine no need to worry ."that was obviously a lie he was feeling deaths stench ."Man you are a bad lier did you look yourself in a mirror before get out of your room you're a walking corpse ,"Claire was quick to point out .

"Don't be too hursh on my lad , morning man ,you looking outer shape today didn't sleep well ,"It was Alex who had just come into class .

After the passing of daily  roster everyone went for the combat training for the annual heroes tournaments .At the training grounds Kona still felt out of shape,he felt drained as if something was sucking his essence,he left the training and went to see the nurse ,"Excuse me mam , I'm not feeling well ,"he went on to explain the problem leaving out the dream his been having,the nurse who was a legendary healer was left in oww she had delt with many things like curses and poisons but Kona's problem was out of the ordinary since all her check ups showed no results ,she could not categories his problem whether it was a curse , poisons or infection,she went through all her notes that were as old as history but found nothing and the more the day passed the more Kona felt his body and soul being sucked dry .

The situation seemed to worsen by supper time he looked like he had been stricken by a pandemic, Cleo who had left training to see him when she noticed his absence was by his side all day and even at night she stayed next to him unable to sleep .That night the dream came back as usual and this time it came with pain that made Kona wish for death and unlike the other times he lost control of the dream and was unable to awaken until Cleo was struggling with him slapped him to reality.

Cleo that night was unable to sleep she was too worried that the fates might sneak up on her and cut the thread on Kona if she dozed of .Just as she was looking at this mortal who had manage to steal her heart that had barricade itself within her ribs for centuries with unbreakable volts that had rigid locks ,but this young soul had managed to breakthrough and stolen her fragile heart.As she thought of this a beam of red light cought her eye when she regained herself she saw Kona glowing with a  celestial red in his eyes ,he stood up from the bed as if he was never weak a minute ago and begun moving towards the exite of the infirmary,Cleo tried to call to him but he didn't twitch even the slightest and that reassure Cleo that something else was in control,she tried stopping him but to no avail even her immortal strength was not enough, he moved on till he was at the temple door that's when Cleo slapped him and his eyes stopped glowing he regained control then he looked around saw Cleo ,he called out to her but just as he was about to move towards her he felt dizzy and his feet gave in but Cleo reacted swiftly and cought him .

He looked to her then with the remaining energy he said slowly,"Thank you ,"and with that he lost conciousness.
