In a day like all others,

Two souls will battle.

Among sisters and brothers,

their own lives they'll rattle.

from Apollo and the dead king,

one life must be ended,

and the bells of Olympus will ring


Hades stared at the words on the scroll, believing them too good to be true. He scratched his eyebrow, the details of the coming years falling right into his lap.

"You know you're going to school tomorrow." He watched as Taehyun nodded, noting the excitement the boy had at leaving the Underworld.

"Before you leave, I have something special for you."

The boy blinked, then a hopeful whisper crossed his lips. "A story?"

His father laughed, a sound all but comforting. A slow, sinister smile spread across his face.

"Better. A prophecy."
