A Hero Was Born: Chapter Six

There he was, standing in a dark room. He couldn't see anything. Worse, he could feel or do anything. Wake felt as if he had been given the worst extent of bad luck. Then he heard a voice. Wake couldn't move his head to face whoever was talking.

"Ah, Son of Zues. I have you under captivity." The voice sounded very sinister, but distant. Wake looked further, to the best his eyes to could do. Srrounde by dark and almost impossible to see, let alone notice, was a dark hole. The voice talked again.

"I believe you have lost your mother?" Wake suddenly felt very, very scared and sad at the same time. He struggled to make his body work. He couldn't say anything. He was completly derived of the power to move his own body.

"Now, your wondering how I know of your loss?" Wake still could not answer. "Well, demigod," the thing continued, "lets see if your capable of pulling this off." With a sway of wind, Wake's mother appeared, unconsious. Wake would do anything to try to call her, but nothing in his body moved, no matter how much he tried.

"Demigod. I have a proposition for you. You may have your mom. But I want something in return. Eons ago, I was king of Olympus. I ruled fairly and brought prosperity to the land my father destroyed. But then my own son - your father - overthrew me, and banished me to a place I never deserved to be. Overthrow your father, bring me back to my form, and your mom will be your reward. You have ten days, young one. Do not fail. Your mother's life is at stake."

With the flap of wind, the dream ended, and Wake faced reality. &nbsp
