My Pandora's Box

Chapter 1- The Oracle of Delphi

"Son of Zeus. Your father would like to see you. Immediately, and we are your escorts. I am Luke, son of Hermes."

"How great of him to send the sons of Hermes. And does he really want to see me? He does not even talk to me. How surprising."

"Please come with us." the tall man at the back flew in front and signaled Hereus to come with them. "Let us bring Hereus, Cyclops."

"Yes. You may. I don't want to play with him and his foolishness annoys me." the Cyclops answered the Demi with his annoyed yet horrible roaring voice. 

"What? How dare him. What a boastful and arrogant creature. If he would not have been a son of Poseidon, I would have demolished him from this world and sent him to Tartarus where he and his arrogance belongs."

Cyclops turned his back onto them and sunk in the sea.
Suddenly, a lady came forward in line with the tall man and reached out her hand to Hereus. He looked at her and there's something with her that he couldn't take his eyes off of her. Then the lady spoke, "Hereus. I lend you my hand to stand. Should you be accepting it for you to easily do it?" he thought "This lady is arrogant. How displeasing. Yet those perfect features. Like of mother. Is this a grown daughter of  Athena? Aeolus'? Amphitrite? Great uncle Hades? Or Hermes'? Or is she a daughter of  Aphrodite? Or may be she is a sister of mine?"

"We will go now." the man with winged shoes stated.

Only to his surprise when the latter whispered,"I am a daughter of Peitha. Not of Aphrodite. Or any other gods. How would I be? And I excuse myself but you really kept me waiting. I am not arrogant. You just need to grab my hand and stand up fast."

"She heard me? Or can she read others thoughts? Oh may be a part of her powers."

"Yes you're right Hereus. I can read your mind. I am Pallisa. A Demi."

"A demi eh? Well yes, he always sends demis to fetch me. Well how powerful can you be as a Demi?"

"Ask yourself. I, as a demi already acquired my power since my birth. And you. Did you even discover what you have? Or are you just a mere mortal sent in Olympus and fed of Ambrosia. I doubt you being a God. But a God you are. With no power over what you think you have."

"How dare you say that to me. You don't know me well."

"Which means that I know the right things about you? Yes?"

"No and No. You don't." "Yes. You do. Just shut up."

"Okay." then the tall man spoke,"We're almost there."

"Yes I know. It's my house isn't it?" Hereus answered.

"Not just yours. All of the gods and goddesses in Olympus own it. Technically, not just yours." Pallisa answered.

They arrived and Hera greeted them. "Welcome. You may leave now. But not you Hereus."

The escorts left him and his mother and she held his hands. "Son, talk to him. There is something you need to know."

"Yes Mother." She bade him to go to Zeus.

They silently walked to where his father is at. Breaking the silence Hereus spoke.
