Chapter 1
I never thought I’d become a hero.
I was just an ordinary high school student, with no special talents or abilities.
But then everything changed.
It all started when I saw the ghost of my best friend’s dead sister in the school bathroom.
At first, I thought I was going crazy.
But then I met Elena Rivera, and she told me the truth: I’m a demigod, and the gods are real.
And they’re coming back to Earth.
Now it’s up to me to stop them from destroying the world.
But how can I save the world when I can’t even save myself?
The first time I saw a ghost, it was in the boys’ bathroom at school.
There she was, a pale girl with long black hair and bright blue eyes, standing in front of the mirror.
A chill went down my spine as I watched her vanish into thin air.
I had been under a lot of stress at the time, trying to keep up with my grades and impress my teachers.
Maybe it was all catching up to me, and my mind was playing tricks on me.
But then Elena Rivera came into my life.
Elena is different from the other kids at school—she’s quiet and keeps to herself, but there’s something about her that draws you in.
Her eyes are so blue they’re almost colorless, and when she looks at you, it feels as though she can see right into your soul.
She has perfect grades in every subject—even the ones she isn’t enrolled in—and she always manages to predict what questions will be on the next test.
"The answer is simple," Elena said one day, after our school went into lockdown and we were all huddled together in the gymnasium, waiting for whatever threat had caused the alarm to pass by.
"You are a demigod."
I turned to her, my brow furrowed in confusion.
"A what?"
Elena sighed.
"A demigod. The child of a god and a mortal."
"What are you talking about? What’s going on here?"
She looked around at our classmates, who were staring at her with wide eyes, their expressions ranging from fearful to confused to skeptical.
"There are others like you here," she told me quietly.
"The gods are returning to Earth, and they will need our help if we want humanity to survive."
I frowned.
"I don’t understand. What is she talking about?"
Lucas said beside me.
He was a tall, muscular boy with dark hair and olive skin, who had been one of my best friends since childhood.
"What’s going on here, Alex? Is this some kind of joke?"
I shook my head, my gaze still fixed on Elena.
She couldn’t be serious, could she?
What reason would she have to lie?
The gods were returning to Earth.
I couldn’t believe it when Elena told me.
It sounded like something out of one of my mythology textbooks—a story from long ago that had been passed down through generations and embellished over time until it became nothing more than a fairytale.
But I knew Elena wasn’t the type of person to make something like this up, and as she explained everything to me in the library, I realized that what she was telling me was true.
As much as I wanted to deny it, I could feel it in my bones—the gods were coming back, and they would bring chaos and destruction if we didn’t prepare for their arrival.
"As a seer," she said, "I have seen what is to come. The gods will soon return to Earth, and if certain prophecies are not fulfilled by the end of the year, humanity will be doomed."
"And you think I’m the one who’s going to save us?" "We," she corrected.
"I don’t know how or why yet, but I know that you are different from the other students here. I have been waiting for you."
"What do you mean by that? Waiting for me?"
Elena hesitated for a moment before answering.
"I knew that someone would come along eventually, someone who could help me stop all of this from happening. When you started at the school last year, I knew that it was you."
My heart skipped a beat as her words sank in.
She had been waiting for me?
Everything felt so surreal—I had only met Elena a few months ago, but now it seemed as though we were somehow connected in ways I couldn’t even begin to understand.
As much as I wanted to deny what Elena was telling me, somewhere deep down inside, I knew it was the truth.
But it wasn’t until Lucas showed up that things started to make sense.
I hadn’t seen Lucas Thorne in over two years.
The last time we’d met, he had nearly killed me in the middle of the school’s track.
His expulsion from St. Bartholomew’s had been shrouded in secrecy, and after his arrest, I’d assumed he’d be sent away to prison or some other secure facility for troubled teens like him.
I never expected to see him again… not until now, anyway.
"Lucas."
My voice came out as a harsh whisper as he stood at the gates of St. Bartholomew's School, dressed all in black with a look of disdain on his face.
If anything, he looked even more dangerous than when we were back in high school together, and that was saying something.
Elena grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to her side with a worried expression on her face.
"What is he doing here?" she hissed.
"I don’t know, but I think we’re about to find out."
As strange as it seemed, I was almost relieved to see Lucas again.
Sure, he was a homicidal maniac with more power than he knew what to do with, but he was also the only person who had ever come close to figuring out who—or rather, what—I really was.
For two years now, I’d been searching for answers; for someone who could help me understand my true nature.
And now, it seemed like all of my prayers had been answered by the last person I would have ever expected: Lucas Thorne.
"You’re like us," he said in an uncharacteristically soft voice as he turned his dark eyes on mine.
Elena took a step back and gasped, her hand flying up to her mouth as if she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
I asked, taking another step toward him.
Lucas let out a low chuckle and shook his head in disbelief.
"I can’t believe this. Of all the people…"
He trailed off and glanced down at the ground before looking up at me again.
"You’re the son of Apollo," he said matter-of-factly.
"I’m what?"
I let out an incredulous laugh.
Lucas gave me a tight smile and nodded.
"You heard me. The gods are coming back, and they have a lot of things to answer for."
He took a deep breath and squared his shoulders, his gaze hardening with resolve.
"We’re going to need all the help we can get if we’re going to survive what’s coming. And you, my friend, are going to be our secret weapon."
To say that my life was a mess would have been an understatement.
In an instant, everything I thought I knew about the world had been turned on its head, leaving me adrift in a sea of uncertainty with no one to turn to for help.
But then Elena came along and changed everything.
She was my rock, my anchor in this storm of madness that threatened to consume me at every turn.
She was the one who told me that I was special, and that there were others like me who could help me understand what was happening.
Chapter 2
It wasn’t until now that I realized how much I’d missed him and how much I needed him by my side.
But there was no point in dwelling on the past or the future for that matter; all that mattered was the here and now and what we were going to do with it.
"Let’s talk about this inside," Elena suggested, her voice soft but firm as she gestured toward the school gates.
"We don’t know who’s watching us right now, and we’re not safe out here."
She gave Lucas a pointed look and added, "None of us are."
The storm clouds continued to gather on the horizon, their dark shapes blotting out the sunlight as they moved closer toward us with each passing second.
If we didn’t get inside soon, we would be drenched to the bone before we knew it.
I could tell that Lucas wasn’t happy about it, but he nodded his head in agreement and followed us through the gates as Elena unlocked them with her key.
I knew he didn’t trust me—and to be honest, I didn’t blame him after all the things I’d done to hurt him—but there was something else behind his eyes that I couldn’t quite place .
Was it fear?
Or something else entirely?
As much as he tried to hide it, there was an air of desperation surrounding Lucas that made me nervous.
He had always been a dangerous person, even when we were friends—or rather, frenemies—but now more than ever I could sense just how powerful he really was… and just how far he would go to get what he wanted.
If he hadn’t thought it necessary for our survival, there was no way he would have come here today; not with two people who hated him more than anyone else in the world.
I’m no fool; I know when I’m outmatched, and Lucas Thorne was one opponent I didn’t want to face off against alone.
If we were going to work together—no, if we were going to survive this war—we needed all the help we could get.
"Look," Elena said as she closed the gates behind us, "I know things haven’t been great between you two in the past, but it’s clear that you’re going through some tough times right now, Lucas. Why don’t we put our differences aside for a while and talk about this like adults? We might be able to help each other out."
There was a long pause before Lucas finally spoke up.
He looked at me for a moment, his dark eyes flashing with an emotion I couldn’t quite place, before nodding his head in agreement and heading inside with us.
Elena and I followed him in silence as my mind raced with possible explanations for his sudden change of heart.
It wasn’t until much later that I realized what it meant… but by then it was already too late.
From the haunted look in his eyes, it was clear that Lucas had seen things he never could have imagined when he left St. Bartholomew's over two years ago.
If there's one thing that I've learned since finding out about the gods, it's that they have a very twisted sense of humor.
Elena Rivera has been a seer for as long as she can remember, but until recently she kept her powers hidden from the world.
That all changed when her visions led us to an ancient artifact that could determine the outcome of this warand possibly save our lives in the process.
I'll admit, at first I was skeptical about following some random girl into the woods on a wild goose chase across town.
But now, after everything that's happened, I know better than to doubt her abilities.
It's not easy being chosen by destiny, but if anyone can decipher these cryptic messages and guide us through this war, it's Elena.
She's always been the smartest person in the room, and she knows exactly how to get under your skin if you rub her the wrong way.
I'd be lying if I said she wasn't intimidating at times… but then again, so are all of these gods who keep showing up out of nowhere trying to kill us.
We've spent countless nights poring over ancient texts and prophecies, hoping to find some answers hidden within their pages.
For months we've waited for another vision to lead us down this path, never knowing what might be waiting for us at the end .
Now that it's finally here, Lucas and I can't shake this feeling of unease that's been hanging over our heads like a dark cloud.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked quietly from his spot beside me.
Elena took a deep breath before nodding her head.
"It’s time."
She'd had a vision of a storm coming our way, and from the look of those dark clouds forming in the distance, I could tell that she wasn't wrong.
It was almost too quiet outside St. Bartholomew's School for Boys; even the birds seemed to have gone into hiding as we stood there watching the sky grow darker by the minute.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end as I scanned our surroundings, searching for any sign of danger that might be lurking in the shadows .
There was something off about this place today, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it…
A sudden movement caught my eye, and I turned just in time to see two bright red eyes staring back at me from behind one of the trees.
I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized what—or rather who—it was.
They were here.
I thought about running away, but something told me that wouldn't make a difference anymore.
My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at her for another moment.
She looked so small, but she was braver than anyone I'd ever known—especially in times like these.
I could feel the weight of destiny resting on my shoulders, just waiting for me to screw everything up somehow.
But even if I was scared out of my mind, I had to be strong for her sake.
If Lucas and I were going to survive this mess, we'd need her help to get through it in one piece.
I turned away from Elena and did my best to flash her a reassuring smile before facing Lucas again.
His jaw was clenched so tightly that I could see his muscles twitching beneath his skin.
He may not have been thrilled about having to work with us, but he wasn't about to let anything happen to either of us—not now that we're all in this together.
Elena's blue eyes locked with mine for what felt like an eternity.
There was something different about her today—something that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
Maybe it was the way she seemed to be looking right through me, or the fact that she'd grown up so fast over the past few months.
Either way, I could tell that she needed me to say something before we took another step forward.
"I'm right behind you," I told her softly.
"Be careful."
I tried to smile again, but it felt more like a grimace this time around.
She nodded in response before turning toward the abandoned building beside us.
Lucas followed closely behind her without another word, his expression blank as he glanced back at me over his shoulder.
It had been days since we first spotted this place while patrolling the city for any sign of trouble.
The building once belonged to St. Bartholomew's School for Boys before they closed it down due to a fire that swept through one of the wings several years ago .
Elena insisted that we come here after having one of her prophetic dreams about a hidden chamber buried beneath the rubble.
She was convinced that whatever it was she'd seen in her vision would help us turn the tide against the gods—if only we could find it in time.
As much as I hated to admit it, I couldn't shake the feeling that she was right again… so there was no way I was going to let her face this alone.
"Hold up," Lucas said suddenly as he came to a stop beside Elena.
"There's something here."
I watched as he raised his hand and pressed it against the brick wall, closing his eyes as he reached out with his magic to see what lay beyond our line of sight.
A moment later, he nodded and withdrew his hand once more.
Chapter 3
"Elena…"
Lucas called out to her in a hoarse whisper, but she didn't seem to hear him as she continued forward.
I reached out to hold him back, but my hand passed through his arm like smoke.
It was then that I realized what must have happened — Lucas wasn't really here at all; he was still trapped in the ruins of St. Bartholomew's, reliving a memory from our past
Elena stopped right in front of us and stared at the brick wall before her with wide eyes.
As soon as she reached out her hand, they began to glow with that same eerie light I'd seen before.
It grew brighter and brighter until I had to shield my eyes from the sudden burst of radiance that followed a moment later.
When I looked again, I realized that the bricks before us had shifted to reveal an opening in the wall.
Without a word, Lucas strode forward and pushed the bricks even further apart until they crumbled to reveal a narrow passageway leading down into darkness.
The air was thick with dust and age, and only a faint glimmer of light filtered through the clouds above our heads.
Elena hesitated for a moment before following Lucas down the stairs and disappearing from view.
I took a deep breath and braced myself for what lay ahead.
I followed in silence, letting her take the lead this time while I kept my eyes on our surroundings for any sign of danger.
The further we went down into the shadows, the colder it grew, and there was a strange metallic smell in the air that made my nose twitch.
It wasn't exactly unpleasant, but it put me on edge regardless.
Lucas had been leading us until he reached the bottom step and abruptly stopped; Elena and I joined him without a word and looked around at our new surroundings. Just like before, we were standing in some kind of large chamber with rows upon rows of columns stretching out into darkness on either side of us.
Only a few of the torches had been lit, casting flickering light and long, dancing shadows on the walls around us.
Up ahead, at the far end of the room, I could see an altar made of stone; it was glowing like a beacon in the darkness, and I immediately felt uneasy at the sight.
As we drew closer, I realized why: there was something about that mysterious light that seemed to seep into my skin and chill me to the bone.
A shiver ran down my spine as I caught a whiff of something else—something dark and smoky—mingling with the scent of burning incense.
Lucas didn't seem to notice; he'd started walking towards the altar without a word, his eyes fixed on the shimmering light ahead.
I looked at him uneasily; it was hard to see his face in such dim lighting, but I could tell that he seemed even more distant than before.
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
Lucas I wanted to say something, to ask if he was okay, but the words stuck in my throat.
We needed to focus on finding the artifact, not on Lucas' strange behavior.
Elena seemed to sense my unease; she gave me a worried look, and I shook my head slightly as if to tell her not to worry about it right now.
We could talk about it later—after we'd found what we came here for. "I've been expecting you."
"It's not every day I get visitors—especially ones as young as you two."
His gaze fell on me, and a cruel smile tugged at his lips.
"Fresh faces are always welcome."
He tilted his head slightly as if he was studying us, though I couldn't read his expression under the hood of his robe.
"You're far from home," he continued, "and yet… I know why you've come. You're looking for something—or rather, someone. And I'm afraid you're too late."
The High Priest chuckled softly, almost mockingly.
"Ares told me there were others. Demigods like himself… He was right to send me here; it seems he can be trusted after all."
So much for trying to stay calm.
My heart sank as he spoke Ares' name, and I felt a chill run down my spine.
Of all the gods we could have met…
This was not ideal.
It had been nearly a month since we faced off against Ares on Mount Olympus; he was one of the renegade gods who had broken free from their prison in Tartarus and returned to Earth.
It hadn't taken long for him to become our most dangerous adversary—or at least, he would have been if we'd actually managed to defeat him.
I'd never heard of the High Priest of Hades before—Elena might know more about him than I did—but I could tell that he wasn't someone to be taken lightly.
As we stood there, I could sense the tension radiating off of Lucas as he prepared to defend himself against any potential threats.
Yet… I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something else going on beneath the surface—something that even Lucas wasn't aware of.
"Seer," the High Priest continued, turning his attention to Elena. "It's been a long time since I've seen one of your kind."
He studied her for a moment before speaking again, his voice low and dangerous.
"I hope you didn't come here to defy me. Ares is not known for his patience with those who stand in his way."
I felt my temper flare; it took all my self-control to keep myself from lashing out at him right then and there.
We were already in deep enough trouble as it was—I didn't need to make things worse by picking a fight with an actual demigod!
"Is that why he sent you here? To try and recruit us?"
The High Priest chuckled softly, his eyes still fixed on Elena's face.
"I'm not here to make you a slave," he said.
"Ares is not like the other gods. He doesn't expect your worship or your devotion. If you join him, you'll serve him because you want to—because you know that it's your destiny."
He paused for a moment before continuing, his voice eerily calm and even.
"And if you refuse…"
He let his words hang in the air, though we all knew what would happen if we dared to defy Ares or any of the other gods who walked the Earth.
I met the High Priest's gaze, trying to keep my voice steady despite my fear.
Chapter 4
"And if we refuse?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper.
The High Priest’s eyes glinted with a sinister amusement, as if he relished the fear he inspired.
"You will face consequences you cannot even begin to imagine," he said coldly.
His words sent a shiver down my spine, but I refused to let him see my fear.
Elena stepped forward, her eyes blazing with determination.
"We will not be pawns in your games," she declared, her voice strong and unwavering.
"We choose our own destinies."
For a moment, silence hung heavy in the air.
Then, the High Priest's lips curled into a cruel smile.
"Very well," he said. "Let destiny decide."
With a wave of his hand, the ground beneath us trembled.
Columns cracked and torches flickered as shadows seemed to come alive.
From the darkness emerged monstrous forms—creatures of nightmare and legend.
Lucas stepped forward, his eyes glowing with power I had never seen before.
"I am not afraid of you," he said, his voice filled with defiance and anger.
As the creatures lunged toward us, Lucas raised his hands and unleashed a torrent of magic that blasted them back.
Elena chanted ancient words, summoning protective barriers around us.
I drew my sword, ready to fight alongside them.
The battle raged on, each of us pushing our limits to hold off the relentless onslaught.
Despite our efforts, the creatures kept coming; it felt like an endless wave threatening to drown us.
But then, something changed.
A bright light filled the chamber as Elena's prophecies manifested in a swirling vortex above us.
Her eyes shone with an ethereal glow as if she was channeling the very essence of fate itself.
"Alexander!" she called out to me. "Strike now! The time is right!"
With every ounce of strength I had left, I charged at the High Priest.
He tried to counter me with dark magic, but Elena's light shielded me from harm.
With one swift motion, I plunged my sword into his heart.
The High Priest let out a chilling scream before collapsing into dust.
Immediately, the creatures vanished into thin air and the chamber fell silent once more.
Exhausted but victorious, we stood together amidst the ruins of our battleground.
Lucas looked at me with newfound respect in his eyes. "We did it," he said quietly.
Elena nodded solemnly. "But this is just the beginning," she warned. "Ares will not stop until he gets what he wants."
I took a deep breath and looked at my friends—my allies—in this fight against gods themselves.
"We'll face whatever comes next together," I said firmly. "For now and always."
And so we left that dark place behind us with renewed determination in our hearts,
prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead in our quest to protect humanity from divine wrath.
