《Orion》66

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.

Fallout: Vault X
An original novel set in the Fallout universe, written to be accessible to all, featuring unique people and places. Vol.II. out now Fallout: Vault X tells the story of John. A vault dweller, who spent every day of his twenty five years underground. Like his father, and his father before him. Proud to live in the last remaining bastion of humanity, all that survived The Great War of the atomic age. Hidden deep below the surface of the earth, toiling under brutal conditions. Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. After finishing school at the age of ten, John received his standard issue pipboy. An arm mounted personal computer, worn by everyone in the Vault. Used to coordinate the relentless pace of expansion, needed to work as an apprentice. To learn the craft that would be his life’s work. A noble calling to ensure a future for all that remained of the human race. A quirk of fate saw John equipped not with the crude, clunky, pipboy model his father wore. That almost everyone around him wore. His looked smaller, sleeker, finished in a jet black sheen. And capable of doing far more than its drab counterparts. The world above had been ravaged by atomic flames, yet life clung to its bones. The Red Valley fared better than most in the century since the bombs fell. The clean water and rich soil protected by rolling hills. All spared from direct strikes, for the most part. Life survived here. Trees spawned from charred ground, misshapen, green leaves turned red. Along with simple crops, grown wild at first, then cultivated by the survivors. The scavengers of the old world were inventive, hardy people. All determined to rebuild in the ruins of a world they never knew. In the decades that passed settlements emerged. They grew, spreading along the valley floor. Reclaiming the pre-war remnants of the once industrialised heartland. Salvaging the robotic wonders of a bygone age to build their walls and work their fields. To protect them in the dark of the wasteland. But such things are uncommon in this world, and the rarer something is, the greater its value. And the worth of pre-war technology had not gone unnoticed. The last, real, power in this world rested in the mechanised hands of The Brotherhood of Steel. Forged from the mortally wounded old world military. The Brotherhood used its access to the weapons made for a conflict no one won to strike out into the wastes. Men and women were equipped with advanced armour, aerial transportation, high grade weaponry. Accompanied by the training, strength, and will, to put them to use. They established chapters and set up outputs far and wide. All dedicated to a single purpose. To ensure the technology left abandoned by its long dead creators didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Namely, any hands that were not their own. This is the world John escaped into. A place of horrors brought forth from atomic fire. A place where survival meant battling against the darkness. Fighting a war each day to get to the next. And war...war never changes
