《Orion》66
Advertisement
Bellona's jaw dropped at the revelation. She stared at he, who introduced himself as Zeus, and it was then everything came into play.
Stood next to him, she recognized the other six.
On his right hand side was a lady, with a crown sat perfectly on her head, she knew her to be Hera, the queen goddess of Olympus.
Right next to Hera, with a perfect smile and a beautiful dress on her, was Aphrodite, widely known for her love and charms. Bellona looked at each one of them, realizing who they were, and why they appeared so powerful.
Zeus
Hera
Ares
Hermes
Aphrodite
Athena, and
Apollo.
It all made sense to her now.
"You've done a great deal, Orion" Zeus uttered.
"You've set us free, after being locked in here for years" He added.
"Ask for whatever you want, it shall be granted"
Orion turned to look at Bellona. The feeling which warmed his chest, came rushing in his eyes, his gaze locked in hers for a moment, and just then, he turned to look at Elpida, who was laid dead on the floor.
He knew bringing Elpida would not only make Bellona happy, but also make her feel complete.
"Can you bring her back?" He asked Zeus.
There was silence for a while, as Zeus watched him closely.
"Is that what you really want?" He questioned.
Orion nodded in response, giving him his final approval and a go-ahead.
"Go to the seventh valley, right outside the palace, push her whole body into the waters that run through there, she shall emerge a new being"
Orion swallowed hard, nodding and turning around for them to leave, when the call of Zeus halted him.
"Orion" Zeus began.
"Won't you like to know about your father?" He asked.
"He's dead already" Orion responded.

"Your true father" Zeus finally uttered.
This grabbed Orion's full attention, turning around moving closer to Zeus, looking at each one of the Sevens.
"You know my father?"
His voice came out weak while he spoke.
"He was my brother" Zeno uttered in a very low voice, speaking for the time since they met him.
He moved towards Orion, placing his hands on his shoulders, and peering at his face.
"You bear his features so much, it's scary" He muttered to Orion.
"What?" Orion gasped.
At that moment, Zephyra appeared in the room, moving closer to Orion with a smile on her face.
"I'm sure Zephyra here has informed you that Lucas Brennan isn't your father" Zeus spoke to Orion.
"The name of he, whose blood you bear in you, is Makarios" He added.
Orion was left dumbfounded, not knowing if he was to believe all that was been told, or if he was to turn around, walking out on all of this.
The truth.
"Makarios was a Demi-god" Zeus began.
"When we were turned to stone, the forces which Cedric used was just too much for him to contain. He didn't have as much powers as we did, hence, he went on with the spirits beyond, after a decade of his soul being locked up here.
"I'm sorry" Zeus uttered to Orion.
"Your father was a great man just like you, seeing his spawn would have brought much joy to his heart" He added.
Orion bent his head low, fighting to hide the pain which filled his eyes.
"We retrieved this from from the grounds which he passed on" Zeno stepped in.
"It's a stone. A Garphyre stone"
Zeus connected the stone with a necklace in his hands, and immediately, it glowed.
"It was cherished by your father. It's best you have it and protect it"

Orion collected it from the outstretched hands of Zeus, stroking the stone with his thumb.
"You must defeat Costa, Orion" He heard Zeno speak to him.
"It's been written that by your hands alone, his doom comes"
"You must restore wellness to the lands" Zeno added.
"I can't do that" Orion uttered in a low voice.
"In his presence I am completely powerless. I feel useless. I can't even bring myself to challenge him" He murmured under his breath.
"Well, that's a lie" Zeno spoke.
"You're only Powerless, because you choose to be powerless. You wouldn't have come this far if you were weak"
"Believe in all and go forth, for victory calls onto you"
But Just before Orion turned his face away ready to leave, Bellona spotted the sadness which rested in his eyes.

Cycles of Ruin
Civilizations rise and fall. Kith build them up and monsters, led by powerful dungeon keepers, bring them to ruin. For three thousand years the cycle has been maintained by the Guild of Chaos and its endless hordes of minions who—in absence of their long lost creators—have taken it upon themselves to keep the realms of the universe in balance. The Guild has grown efficient at this task, but some among its ranks have begun to ponder the utility of a universe that has been robbed of the very possibility of change. Basil von Doom is one such dungeon keeper working for the Guild, leading an army of loyal minions from one conquest to the next; burning civilizations and sifting through the ruins in search of forbidden knowledge that the races of kith were never meant to possess. But having spent more than half a century in pursuit of glory and fame—trying to live up to the legacy of his father—Basil has grown indifferent towards his work. Desperate for a worthy challenge, but bound by his duties as a dungeon keeper, he has turned his mind towards uncovering the ultimate fate of the previous master of his house and the secrets that were buried with him. Now the young Master of House Doom must balance his growing interest in pursuing the trail of his father with the responsibilities that come with running a dungeon in service to the Guild of Chaos. To remain in good standing with the Guild, Basil has even accepted the task of mentoring an apprentice dungeon keeper, a young succubus named Elnora. It is at the tail end of her apprenticeship that the story begins; with a civilization poised to fall—its greatest heroes gathering for one last assault on the heart of darkness—and Basil striking up a conversation with his apprentice that will set into motion the unraveling of the universe. ***This is a rewrite and continuation of my story that was first posted on RoyalRoad a few years ago.
