 CHAPTER ONE 

UNTITLED

"I accept this role," Tuler Janiken said. "I pledge myself to Apollo, God of Oracles. I open my eyes to the future and embrace the past. I accept the spirit of Delphi, Voice of the Gods, Speaker of Riddles, Seer of Fate."

Green smoke started to emerge around Tuler's feet, but she didn't pay much attention to it. In all honesty, she barely noted anything until Mia Sanchez asked, "Did it work?"

Then, Tuler's eyes began glowing as smoke billowed from her body. She spoke.

"The hero wields his ancestor's blade

The guardian's decision has been made

The Hunter, though hidden, lives

The angel's legacy down below gives

The first to battle with forge's fire

Seeks descendants for the sky's desire."

"A prophecy," James Pierce said. "The spirit has accepted you."

Tuler raised a triumphant hand. "Whoo!" she said before collapsing.

When the door to Julia's... Tuler's... office opened, everyone conscious looked at the guy who stood in the doorway.

"Bryce!" Mia said. "What's going on?"

"Umm..." Bryce said. "Remember yesterday when I said I'd come back to talk to Julia tomorrow. It's tomorrow."
