《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.
