"Humans are the only creatures to think of repelling The Fate, And that's actually sad because no one had succeeded Yet "

In any way it gave me clairvoyance over Athens, I can see anything and everything in all Athens, yes, I can even see The Future, barely. This is the power of Knowledge, Wisdom And Runes, Concepts.

With This No one in Athens is a Match for me with my spear.

—×—

Yeah no, That's Actually not gonna happen.

This is the sudden thought I had when I woke up from the Power high I was on.

" You have a Powerful Magical weapon, so what?, you're still a human you can't fight all of us." The captain said.

And he's right, right now I have the upper hand, but I'm still an 8 y/o Human child. I'll run out of stamina soon and I'm getting a headache because of using large quantities of mana. So I'll not last that much, not that I want to fight all Athens.

My spear is one of a kind, since with this spear I can control Athens— barely. So since I'm not that far from the gates, my next move will help me get out of here.

Twisting my spear a little, I run towards the captain, then I jumped. With a snap of my fingers the ground starts to shake. With a loud Crack, the ground splits and a Huge tree root appears. What's this? well this is the root of the Olive tree. The tree is Magical and created by a Divine being, thinking that it will be ordinary is like proclaiming Yourself as a Fool.

The root comes under me as I land on it. It keeps growing until I stand near the Huge City wall. I calmly jump on it, then twirl, watching the city from above. For a moment a hint of Arrogance can be seen in my gaze. The people below didn't miss it, I can see that they're starting to curse me. Some poor sods came with Archers trying to kill me but unfortunately the city wall is too high for them to do that.

As I trying to mock them The suns rays suddenly got in my eyes. I frowned a bit , lifting my head as I look at the sky— Sun. All I can think is This is definitely weird. An owl is in the sky, blocking my view of the sun. But this cant be it right? I looked around finding no shadow of the owl. And suddenly The statue of Athena, not far away from here suddenly lit up like a bulb — not that they're any in this era.

Well well , I'll be. Seems someone is interested in me. But.. that cant be it right? I mean yea Athena was known for her interest in Heroes but what She's interested in was their Deeds not them individually. So for Athena to be interested in this is not weird, after all this is the birthing of a legend — A hero.

But the suns rays are particularly around my spear, she want me to name the Spear?. Well, A new name for a new weapon I supposed. I gather myself before writing Runes around me.

'βελτίωση της φωνής'

— Voice Enhancement

" Hear me! , O' Divine beings who sits upon the Heavens!!" With my voice enhanced, my voiced boomed in Athens, particularly I paid special care to choose my words carefully. Because as much as I don't like the Gods, I don't wanna die before achieving my goals, I can die after that, not now. But the feeling inside me eats me. I have seen death, Its peaceful, beautiful and I want it again.

" I Bestow Thee a name! , From now on Thee shalt be Known as Philosophia — The Love Of Wisdom."

Although I can come up with a Beautiful, poetic name — Ahh hello? an acknowledged poet here — I didn't, Mostly because I'm more worried about my escape and the fact that I'm still putting my brain cells into developing a proper plan to get out of here so I just picked a name that resonates with Wisdom or heroes — A nod to Athena Main Domain and her 'hobby'

The soldiers on the ground stood frozen as they had heard me. Im just provoking the heavens they must thought. Truthfully if I didn't know the context myself I would probably thought so too. Some of them even fleet , Provoking the heavens wrath isn't one of the healthy things in life, I'm sure they don't want to be in the heavens eye sight. Deal with the aftermath! I can practically see their expression shouting. And for me? I just laughed, voice still enhanced.

With a flick of my hand the runes Deactivated.

Not before saying " This young King needs a new throne, please buy or make it before I return." though. I laughed hard at that, before jumping on the other sider side, A jump on this height would've killed any normal 21th century and this era's human. Fortunately Many humans in this era have a supernatural body, in addition to that I had trained my body well.

When I was close to the ground, I rolled to bled the impact then stood up a minute later after not getting dizzy. Immediately I ran away, I don't have the confidence to say that the soldiers won't chase me. After 20 minutes of running, I took of my bag and searched for my cloak when I found it I wore it immediately.

After 2 minutes the soldiers came, I was the only one on the road, I just swayed out of the way and let them pass. Well they didn't see me, why is that you may ask? well this was my experiment to be honest. I wanted to see if I can make an invisible cloak like the one in Harry Potter. Needless to say I failed miserably, but my cloak can muffle the wearer's sound and conceal their presence. It isn't perfect but it is my first invention, you can say I hold it with a sentimental value.

After the soldiers passes, I took out my map, And well I'm quite far from my desired destination. But theres a village in a forest nearby here, I can restock my supplies then continue with my journey.

It didn't take long to arrive at the entrance of the forest. It is near dark now, I have to set up camp and sleep.

[???]

Three old ladies can be seen in a cave kneading a huge sock, normal this would've been normal if not for the fact that they're floating 50 inches off the ground. One of the three ladies is holding a scissor-looking like thing. Another one is Kneading the huge sock then the last one is Measuring Strings with myriad colours.

They're The Three Fates. The Morai.

Their names are Clotho (Spinner), Lachesis (Allotter), and Atropos(Inflexible). Clotho spun the "thread" of human fate, Lachesis dispensed it, and Atropos cut the thread (thus determining the individual's moment of death).

"The Dragon rider has arrived."

" The Butterfly will stretch its wings"

" And the World shall be Torn by a Tornado and Whirlpool"

" He came through Chaos and the protogenoi"

" The world shall know his true Name "

" He isnt the only one who Came though."

" The world shall bent under his Rule"

" And the Gods would be Powerless to stop it"

The three Fates said—no to say that they spoke would've been a lie. This is the famed prophecy.

Only Them know who the prophecy is pointed at.
