I know I'm dreaming but is this for real?
Is that my mother I hear?! the Goddess of Divine Law Themis? - "Yes it is me child" she answered, did she just read my mind?! - "Yes I did child" her reply startled me.
And before she can even answer my thoughts I started talking - "Mother.. ahmmm mom.. Goddess what should I call you?" I reluctantly asked "You may call me as you please child mother,mom or goddess anything will suffice" she replied.
"ahh mother I would lik-.." before I can even finish my sentence she immediately cut me off "My child, My son I'm here for a very important matter, the prophecy will unfold soon and you'll soon find the scion from the prophecy! and you must hurry my child, protect the scion and the chrysos that bear kastille, you must..-" a Jolt of lighting cuts themis from talking and it cause me to woke up.
"MOOOOM!!!!" I shouted and immediately Mike bolt inside my room panting.
"What happened Kuya Nick!!!" he nervously asked me, and as I recollect myself from that dream I just looked at him blankly and I know he's waiting for an answer and when I saw his anxious face I started talking.
"I'm fine mike don't you worry about it, it's just a dream" I assure him.
"Kuya nick You don't panicked at dreams, that must be a nightmare!" he said.
"Trust me mike I saw my mom and I believe moms only shows at dreams right?! unless she's spanking you" I forced a laugh out so he will be assured that I'm okay.
Michael laughs "if you say so kuya, im downstairs if you need me okay?!".
I smiled at him and said "Thanks little apple".
what does that dream means? and my experience as a 10,000 year old demigod, we demigods don't have dreams when sleeping they had omens when they see someone in dreams and all of the times these omens are 100% accurate. I've never seen my mother so serious, though I roughly see her anyways but the tone of her voice and that jolt of lightning why would someone stop us from talking?! though I know the divine law - thou shall never meet, see nor talk to your demigod offspring. yes there is this universal law that Gods or Goddesses are forbidden to meet with their demigod sons and daughters, and you ask me why? because they say they are protecting them from their enemies, again who are their enemies? other Gods and Goddesses. technically I Hate that law but if you're getting old you'll soon get use to it and usually in some cases your godly parent will broke that law but not my mother being the all divine law goddesses it surprises me that in this past 10,000 years if you try to count how many times she tried to reach out, my fingers are just to many for it - and that's why it bothers me a lot, she seems urgent about what she is trying to say and that prophecy I almost forgotten about that up until now.
I stood up and went under my bed to check for the satchel "apagorevménos" or translates to forbidden, I opened the satchel to check the Item that I vowed to protect with my life with any cost. I tied the roped of the satchel and hid it to where I put it together with my price belongings. "If she is serious about that, I'm gonna need a strong reinforcement.. I need her, I have to talk to her" I grabbed my phone and called her.
after I finished everything I came down the stair and I didn't noticed that it's almost evening, food is prepared and mike is waiting for me.
"what took you so long kuya nike?is everything all right?" he worriedly asked, I smiled at him and answered "Don't worry I just need to arranged things and I need to talk to someone".
"Okay kuya then will we eat now cause I'm starving" he said "Sure lets dig in" I smiled at him, we talked by the dinner but I can't help but think on what might be going to happen.
after we eat, I decided to walk by the shore to think thoroughly on that dream and I can't afford mike seeing me so worried, I then asked myself "Will it happen again? I can't afford to lose someone again, I didn't know that this day will come the day that I'll unsheathe that thing again" I clenched my fist in frustration and sign "What am I thinking of course it will happen, I know this day will come sooner or later, why am I even trying to defy what is going to happen, I just need to prepare" I headed back to my house and as I walking up the shore my eye caught a hooded figure from afar but when I looked at it again its long gone and I decided to ignore it.
"Nicholas! my child Prepare yourself! Nicholas! Nicholas!" the voice of themis startles and woke me up panting beads of sweat is dripping on my face, her voice her worried voice. I looked by the window and blink at the ray of sunlight glistening thru my blinds so I decided to stand up and stretch, as I was stretching the alarm on my phone saying "Mike's Birthday Today!!" I tidy up myself and went down to greet mike.
before he can even say a thing I hugged him and greet him a happy birthday "Happy 17th Birthday mike".
he smiled "Thanks kuya, you always does this thing every year" he laughed.
"Of course I will you're my young brother after all, right?" he nodded "So lets head to the beach? I already packed our snacks on that bag and our drinks on the fridge" he grabbed the drinks and I grabbed the bag.
as we walking thru the shoreline our annual ritual for his birthday - that we will celebrate it together in this remote part of the island where vegetation is vast and a pristine part of the ocean is hidden near my cabin which I didn't know exist up until mike showed me this and he calls it his secret sanctum, and I totally respect that - as we walking by the forest I can sense someone is watching us so I keened up my senses, but it seems like its all in my head.
as we reach our point I put down all our things, mike placed the picnic cloth and sets up the place. It's my 6th time here but this place seems to get denser and denser as I looked around I saw a coconut tree and out of nowhere I spoke "I bet that Juice would be awesome" Mike heard what I said and he offered to climb the tree for me, I've seen him climbed trees but i don't think this is his calibre but he insisted.
"This was supposed to be your birthday and there you are getting coconut for me" I told him.
"it's no big deal kuya it's just a coconut and besides, I would love to drink some fresh juice as well" he replied while laughing.
though I can see he's having a hard time but when this boy started something he won't stop until he finishes it and that's what amazes me even more.
mike is about to reach the top he shouted that "I'm gonna cut of the coconut kuya move aside you might get hit!!" so moved a little far away from the tree as one of the coconuts fell "here's the second one!!! Arghhh!" before he can even cut the second one he fall from the tree and I have to catch him, I need to use it my enhance ability if i won't I will not catch him, so without even hesitating I used my demigod abilities and I catched him and the coconut with ease.
and when I saw his face, he's wondering,amaze and scared at the same time "Ho..ho..howw ddiid youu do that??" he fearfully asked me, and I automatically created and alibi "I go to the gym?" smiles at him.
"but you were right there and that 10 feet away from where I'm falling, how do you come right here so fast?" he asked "thread mill?" i reluctantly answered.
"O-okay, wow kuya you never fail to amaze me" he assures himself, seems like he is satisfied with my answers, "I better go to the gym as well" he laughed softly.
"You better do" I replied to assure him some more.
we both suddenky hears a slow clap from the forest.
"Congratulations! Sir Nicholas of the holy war or would you liked to be address as Nicholas the Great or Nicholas Immortalis?" then a shadow figure emerged. I looked at mike and he's looking very pale, is this kid seeing this? how is he? my attention was brought back to the man and now he's fully out in the sunlight a man with no face 7 feet high 4 arms with swords different in length for each hands and an armor made from obsidian rock face black as the night and for eyes red as blood glared at us, my attention shift to mike as he sweat beads and he started talking "Ku-ku-kuya nick what is that?" he points his figure to the in front of us, he sees it? how? All this time I've caring for this young man and I didn't noticed is he a demigod too?.
"Nicholas, Nicholas, Nicholas always the Witted one though I'm impressed doing the same thing, Hiding your scent behind with a scent of a stronger Demigod whose son is this now? ares? apollo? or is it athena again?" the man shouted, and I looked back at mike and seeing his face full of terror I'm also as surprised as I'm, how could I never sense it before is he the scion from the prophecy did we met for a reason? I looked back at him and finally see his divine aura, his scent Mike is a demigod!
before he drop on to his feet I shouted at him "Mike run! Mike RUN!!"
