My Pandora's Box

Chapter 1- The Oracle of Delphi

"Mother, what wrong did I do to make father talk to me?"

"There's nothing wrong with what you're doing. Or what you ever did. Nothing."

"Then why? Why would he waste my time for nonsensical talks?"

"Hereus! Don't you dare say or think of that."

"I am deeply sorry for everything I said  mother."

They arrived at the gardens and his mother left him.  When he saw his father and was about to walk away when Zeus spoke. "I know that you're not comfortable seeing and talking with me, son." He then paused. "I think you need to know the truth."

"What truth?"

"That you are not..."

"I am not a god? I am just a Demi? Ain't I?!"

His father laughed, "How dare him laugh at me. Tsk."

"No, not that Hereus, you haven't discovered what you are. And you may be not as powerful as Hercules. You are my son, your mother's son and your brother's brother. Our own flesh and blood. Don't think of  yourself for less. We may be your parents but we don't have the power to make you see what you have. You need to see it for yourself. And I think that it is time for you to see what will happen to you."

"You want me to visit the Oracle?"

"Yes. And I don't think that you don't have powers. I know that you do. You just have not seen it. We love you son. And we hope that you won't be so distant to us.","We'd like you understand that all we did, all I did was for you. You're not safe roaming the worlds without any protection. There are too many enemies that might hurt you. We don't want that to happen, do we?"

"I can protect myself father. You just don't trust me, that's why."

"Son. I'm..."

"No father. I need to go now. I might as well be going to reach the Oracle before dark."

"Yes. Be careful son."

"As if there will be harm in the way." He thought.

He walked on to the clear path on the clouds and went down another mountain. There he found the Oracle of Dephi, who can see the past, present, future, and everything you need to know.

Hereus walked into the Oracle's Temple and bowed down. Then the Oracle spoke,"I know what you seek. An answer for a query. But doubts cover your mind, ask now and clearly."

Hereus thought of what to ask. So many questions run in his mind. How could he possibly ask it all in a question? Or how could not the oracle answer all of it but one? Then he thought of the most important.

"Oracle, I need to know what powers I have and how to make it work."

"Praise the mother of gods. To give you what you deserve, pray and sail away to find out what is read in your blood."

"Thank you great oracle. I shall leave now."

He then turned back and travelled to the same path where he came.

"Praise the mother of gods. To give you what you deserve, pray and sail away to find out what is read in your blood? What does it mean?"

"Praise the mother of gods. Therefore I shall go to Rhea. Yes. I must."

"To give you what you deserve, pray and sail away to find out what is read in your blood. So I need to pray? And then sail? To where?"

"Where should I go?"

"Well, where will I pray? At Olympus? In the sea?"

"Think Hereus! Think!"

Then popped in his mind that he should go away to find out what he has. To do what he likes the most. To sail. But "Would mother allow me? If the oracle gave the answer, she cannot refuse and I should go. I must go."

He went home to Olympus and told his mother.

"Mother, I need to go. The oracle said that I will find my own as I go and sail. You should allow me."

"I should, but it may be difficult for you to go. It worries me."

"No mother, you should not worry. I will take care of myself."

"Perhaps I shall ask one of your father's men to come with you."

"I don't need anyone to come with me. I shall go by myself."

"Can you really Hereus?"

"Just trust me mother! How can you not? You've known me. And you know that I can."

"Yes. I should and I will. I bless you. You can go now."

"Thank you mother. I will come back as soon as I am done with what I need to do."

Hereus ran to the beach and made his own sail boat, a few men saw him and helped him. As planned that they made a boat for five to ten people, too big for only one sailor. He bought some food and brought a formidable weapon,a sword.
They were done by the next day and he rode and sailed away. Wishing that to wherever he may go may he find what he is looking for.
