HADES’ POV“They are ready, Hades,” Syron told me.I nodded.After he left, I still took a moment to breathe in and out before following him.It had been way too long since I last addressed the Valhallahs. It had been way too long since I left on my mission, and now, it just felt like I was back in a strange land.The feeling of doubt; if they would welcome and accept me, settled inside of me.I tried to shake it off, but it wouldn’t leave.Then I thought of Iron. Maybe this was how he was feeling when he returned to the Organization.“Maybe you are about to experience what Iron experienced, and then you can understand what it truly feels like,” a voice in my head told me.I shook it off.I wasn’t like Iron and the way we handled our realms weren’t the same.Even though I hadn’t taken my position here in a really long time, I was still in control. Also, the difference was that Iron fled the Organization and hid himself for years, whereas, I simply left, with the knowledge of everyone,

“How do you intend to get rid of the Seer permanently?” Syron asked me.He had been asking me this exact question since I told him about my plan to get rid of the Seer; that way, Iron would lose his tool for seeing beyond the physical, and it was beginning to wear me out.“I already said that I would carry it out myself,” I responded.“Yes, you did, but you didn’t tell me how,” Syron pressed.I paused and thought about his insistence since.“You don’t think I can handle it on my own?” I asked Syron, getting displeased by what he was saying. “Is this because Blake defeated me in the combat?” I asked him further.“No, Hades, that is not the reason,” Syron answered, but I didn’t quite believe him.“Then what is the meaning of this doubt you are showing to me?” I asked him.“One thing I know about this Seer is that no one has ever been able to get rid of him,” Syron said. “He used to live in the Organization with the Titans, but when they had a major fallout, they sent him out of the Orga

NESSE’S POV“You are evil.”That was my mum’s statement the moment she set eyes on me as I yanked the door open, but I wasn’t moved.I intentionally instructed that no one must come anywhere close to the room I was keeping her in for any reason, especially not to give her some food.For the entire day, I wanted her to suffer starvation.And then now that I was back, I decided to come and see her. Athena followed behind, carrying a plate of food, but she hadn’t seen Athena. Again, I wasn’t bothered about being called evil in Athena’s presence.I had been called all sorts of names from literally everyone that had ever crossed paths with me, so it wasn’t something that fazed me anymore.“I know that, mum,” I said.“Don’t ever call me that if you are just going to be as cruel as your dead father!” She barked at me.“You are obviously out of strength, and yet, you run your mouth, huh?” I asked her sarcastically.“You are going to die just the same way he did,” she swore.I threw my head b

I watched Blake train the Titans, and just like the other trainings that I had watched, it was excellent. I could attest to the fact that the Titans were improving greatly.Blake had a fight with two of them, and surprisingly, they had learned to swing their weapons and keep themselves from getting hurt.Although not well enough because they were fighting with Blake, but they were way better than they used to be, and that was really impressive.As I watched them, I had no regret in making Blake my right hand man.He poured himself and everything he had into the Titans. There was nothing he hid from them, and I knew that soon enough, they would be just as brave and strong.I clapped when Blake ended the training session.“One hour to get something into your stomachs and rest, and then we are back here to continue with the training!” Blake told them firmly.They nodded in agreement.Then they jogged off, but they were also excited that I had clapped for them. I sensed their sense of enc

HADES’ POVThe joy in my heart, knowing that I had murdered the Seer knew no bounds. As I made my way back to the Structure, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.“He is dead and gone,” I said to myself.Again, it was a good thing I kept Syron by my side. I saw his usefulness when no one else did, and now, he was working for just me.While I found my way to the Structure, I detoured.I wanted time to think about my next course of action without any distractions and questions, especially coming from Syron. He always meant good because he was downright loyal, but he was always intercepting my thoughts and decisions.In a few weeks, the walls of the Organization would be weak and easily penetrable.All I would need to do was get in, but I didn’t want to just go about things the way I did with the other realms the last time.We were able to weaken their walls and get in, quite alright, but we weren’t able to fulfill the mission of the whole plan, which was to get Iron; he was too powerful an
