Findings
NESSE’S POVAs usual, I intended to work late into the night, but I felt way too lightheaded. I tried to ignore it, but I just couldn’t.Athena wasn’t here to serve me a cup of coffee to make me feel better, and I almost regretted letting her off easily.“I am going to pass out if I force this,” I told myself.As much as I hated that this disease was preventing me from working as I should, I knew that I had to call it a day. For once, I recalled the words of the doctor.If I persisted, I would end up passing out, and with Athena’s absence, I didn’t want things to get out, especially as my mum had started asking questions and seeking ways to bring me down.With that, I gathered my things and left my office.When I got home, I could have a good dinner; I noticed lately that I had been eating too much, and then have another cup of coffee, and then relax in bed and go through the documents I should have worked on.If I was already feeling this way, I could only imagine how I would be fee
Broken Trust
IRON’S POVJane returned to the Organization with Diana and Eric later than expected, and I was beginning to get deeply worried. I had almost asked some Titans to go out and look for them when they arrived.The combat was tonight, and as the hours drew nearer, the tension in the entire Organization became palpable. I could also feel it deep into my bones.“Why did you stay out for so long?” I asked.It was getting really back, and Jane should have been back about three hours ago. However, I allowed them to take Jane into her bedroom before returning back to my chamber to answer for themselves. More than anything, I wanted to protect Jane from everything, including my own struggles and worries.“Some homeless and helpless children came to watch Jane play today,” Diana said.“Since she started living in the Organization, she stopped playing for money, but today, she changed her mind, and we didn’t think it wise to stop her, Lord Dante, especially as she did it for the children,” Eric re
One Last Confrontation
HADES’ POVThe time was ticking dangerously close to the time that Iron had declared the combat, and as much as I tried to stop it, my heart kept beating.I decided to leave my room to take a walk, just to try and ease the tension that was building inside of me.“You already have what it takes to win this, Hades. There is no cause for you to panic,” a stern voice in my head told me.I nodded in agreement, but I needed to take the walk.And then I came across Blake’s room, and I couldn’t resist the temptation of going in.One thing that hadn’t changed even after his getting close to Iron was the fact that he still shared rooms with about two other Titans. They would have been three in number if the other one that he was really close to hadn’t been attacked and killed.“Leave us,” I commanded the other two as soon as I got into the room.The Titans obeyed without questions or hesitation.I expected Blake to say something like I shouldn’t be coming into his room to dictate things to the
Confession Time
ATHENA’S POVLord Dante really hurt me, and I couldn’t even deny that. After I left his chamber, tears pooled in my eyes, and a few of them dropped before I got to the room.However, I wiped clean my cheeks and blinked back the ones in my eye because I didn’t want Belle to see me crying.Ever since the announcement, she had been deeply moody, and I knew that it was because of her feelings for Blake, even though he might never reciprocate it.“What’s wrong, Athena?” Belle asked me.“Nothing,” I lied.I lay down, but my heart was still heavy.Lord Dante was someone I would stay loyal to for the rest of my life, because what he did for me, no one had ever done it, and regardless of what was going on around him right now, I knew the kind of war god that he was.I didn’t know his predecessors, but one thing I was certain was that the Organization was lucky to have him as their war god. Even Hera was the luckiest woman to have someone like Lord Dante dedicate his heart to her.Nesse was equ
More To Converse About
ATHENA’S POV“Are you sure of what you are saying?” I asked Blake, unable to believe what he just said.“Would I be lying to you?” He asked me.“But how is that possible?” I asked myself in confusion.I only recently found out about Lord Dante’s marriage to Nesse, and even at that, I never mentioned it to anyone else. I didn’t even confront Lord Dante with it, so how did Belle find out about it?“Who could have told her?” I asked out loud.My heart was beating really fast because Lord Dante’s secret was spreading faster than bad news, and I doubted that he even knew anything about it. Instead, he was focusing on the wrong things and pointing the accusations to the wrong person.“Do you think it was Hades?” I asked further.Blake didn’t seem bothered about the news, and maybe that was why he wasn’t answering any of my questions. He meant it when he said he wanted to get some rest, and even though he wasn’t exactly getting that, he was relaxed.“Judging by the way she told me, it doesn’
It Is Time
IRON’S POVI still wasn’t comfortable that Athena left Nesse all by herself, and surprisingly, that was even more troubling than the combat that was just a few minutes ago.I went to the ring where it would happen and just waited for the time to come.But still, I couldn’t stop thinking.Nesse was carrying my seed. I never thought that I would ever have an heir, but I did. However, there was a little glitch; he wouldn’t be full Titan, and there was nowhere in the history of the war gods that a half-Titan ever ruled.“That is if you ever even have the balls to confess your sins to the Titans,” a voice in my head reminded me.I didn’t want to dwell on that, so I tried to take my mind off it, but that wasn’t working.Three Titans arrived first, but because I was at a corner, they didn’t notice me.“Who are you betting on?” One of them asked the others.They seemed excited about the combat, and when they spoke, I realized that their anticipation was very high.I had thought that with ever
Just One Strike
HADES’ POV“It is time!” Iron announced loudly, so much that the entire Organization shook with the sound of his voice.Blake and I entered the ring.I didn’t need to hold any weapon because everyone who knew me knew that my weapon was my bladed fingers, and so they wouldn’t be surprised, or suspect anything when I would use it to strike Blake down.Blake, on the other hand, held one of his swords.The entire Organization fell quiet after Iron’s announcement as though a bomb had been thrown into the Organization. I could bet that if a pin fell to the ground, everyone would hear it.We didn’t start combating because Iron hadn’t given the go-ahead yet.In the history of the Organization, a combat had only happened once; well, as far as I knew, and this would be the second time. The first time hadn’t resulted in death because neither of the Titans could defeat the other.The order was to defeat the other, but neither of them could, and so, they had been forced to live peaceably with each
The First Strike
HADES’ POV“Hey!” Iron’s loud voice called out, stopping Blake and I from making any further move.That was after his sword left his hold and flew out of the ring, and I wondered why Iron was interfering now; I only hoped that it wasn’t what he was thinking.The Organization had been quiet since the combat started.The only thing I could hear was the beating sounds coming from the heart of the Titans, and I and Blake’s heaving breathing as a result of the combat.The air was so tense that no one even dared to move an inch. I wondered if they would even dare to breathe.“Blake is unarmed, and that leaves him at a more vulnerable position,” Iron added.I ground my teeth in annoyance; I was fucking right!Iron cared so much about Blake that he didn’t want him to die. Was he really rooting for Blake to win over me deep down? Had I lost the loyalty, commitment, and bond I had built with Iron for over three years to Blake?Was this what this was about?Oh well, I couldn’t wait to see Iron m
Every Punch
HADES’ POVBlake’s words were not only humiliating, but they were also taunting.Everyone watching stared with dreadful anticipation. Most of them in utter shock and disbelief.Blake was trying to humiliate me. Well, he better enjoy this before he would take his last breath.I rose up with a renewed strength and determination, and as soon as I did, I ran towards Blake like a wild beast. Since we were no longer doing the slow walks towards each other, I decided to take the bull by the horn.I wanted to be the first to lunge at him this time around, but Blake saw me coming, and he swiftly dodged me completely. That way, my fingers didn’t even come close to touching him.Before I could even get to the other side of the ring to turn and face Blake again after he dodged me, I felt a kick on my back, propelling me forward with a force that I couldn’t recon with, and I landed with my face squarely on the ground.Blake had kicked me.“Ouuuuuuuuu!” The Titans booed.Damn.This combat was going
Keep Him Alive
IRON’S POV“Enough, Blake,” I said.Blake stopped.“The combat is over,” I declared.“But he is not dead!” The Titans shouted in defiance.I knew that Hades wasn’t dead, but for the life of me, I couldn’t watch Blake kill him, which was exactly what Blake was going to do if I had allowed him to continue.“He is not dead!” They screamed.“Everyone, to your rooms, right now!” I declared firmly. “The combat is over!” I repeated.“The combat isn’t over until one is dead!” They screamed.They were no longer being careful of speaking without being given the permission to, and all this time, aside from their occasional booing, they had been too tensed with suspense to even breathe. The only thing that had worked was their beating heart.And I thought they were staking their bets on Hades? Why were they seeking the combat to continue?“Let the combat continue!”“That was your decree, Lord Dante!” “Let the combat continue!” They yelled at the top of their voices.I realized that if I didn’t
