I was just sat there. A normal day after school. Getting covered in paint in art. Being bored to death in history. The usual for a tuesday. My parents had just gone out shopping, so I was sat writing a horror story on an internet forum, and listening to All Time Low (the band, not the song) when I got the hiccups. I tried holding my breath and swallowing three times, I tried a double breath, and I tried a drink of water. Nothing worked. Then again it never did.
The voices. My parents always said I had a talent. This one is hearing people's thoughts, and sometimes if I try really hard I can have a conversation with them in their mind. They never told me how I got this. They always seemed to avoid the subject. I guess it's something to do with my real dad. He left when I was a child. I never knew him. All I know is his nick-name. Ipogios. I'm guessing he got it because he spent half his time underground, I don't know.
After reminiscing about my "tallent" I heard the door knocking. Probably one of the little toad's friends wanting him to come out and play. Do I ever get any me time?
Turns out it wasn't.
Two men were stood there. he first was asking for me.
"What's it to you?" I asked him.
"My, you do have your father's attitude." He mused.
"Sorry. but who are you, and how do you know my name any..."
"Tethys, my dear, I am your father's brother. I contacted your mother a couple of days ago. I am Posied...Paul. And here is my older brother Zeu...Zain. We were to collect you to take you to Half-Blood lake to meet your father." He butted in.
"Right. I'm supposed to believe two men who have had to alter their names. One of which seems dripping wet, and the other is charged with elcticity. Do you seriously think I'm gonna believe you?"
If you dont believe us then you can't possibaly be reading my mind right now then.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
I'm not in your head, my dear. You are in mine.
"FINE! Lemme leave a note for my mum. Gods help me."
I left a note saing that I'd gone with uncle "Paul" and "zain" and I wouldn't know when I'd be back, put my boots on, and left with "Paul and "Zain". Gods help me.
The trip seemed instantaneous. And as promised, there was my dad. Seemingly swathed in shadow. This is going off to a plesant start.
Well, we've finaly met. Tethys, I am your father, but I'm not a mortal. Hades is the name. Drippy and sparky over there are Posiedon and Zeus.
He gestured to "Paul" and "Zain" behind me.
You, my pet, are a demi-god. Being of both mortal and immortal blood. You wish to learn of your powers? Follow me and I will teach you the full extent of your skills. Telepathy being one of many. Transmorphousis and telekenesis are two more. Join me and you can be the first to witness these. Please?
And as he said that a huge etheral gateway opened up behind him. I'd read up on Greek mythology, it's my favourite. And I knew what was waiting for me in the nether. Helpless lost souls. Deamons. Hell hounds. And not to mention Cerberus and Persephone. Cerberus. What a creature!
"I'll do it!"
Excellent. Right this way.
I stepped through the portal, never to be seen or heard from again. My mother put out missing notices for me, but after a while people forgot about me. And eventually you will too dear reader.
