Son of the gods

Banished

The trumpets was blown and the match commenced, Maribeth made it back to her seat surprised at irenaeus' reaction, he was a stubborn boy and would have confronted the Kings without thinking of the consequences but instead he joined the fight as if nothing had happened, she knew he was up to something. As the match started people were flying out of the ring like no man's business, no one touched irenaeus because they all believed he was just a small fry so irenaeus waited in the middle planning his strategy, he believed that he was the son of Hercules and when he was pushed against the wall, his god-like powers will kick in. Eventually there were only four people left in the ring. Irenaeus and three huge men. Two of them went at each other punching and kicking with all their might. The other one walked slowly to irenaeus." This isn't going to be fun for you kid" he said. Irenaeus was a noble fighter but even he couldn't beat this giant, the boy grabbed irenaeus by the neck and lifted him up." He is definitely going to die" said Zeus but Hades watched the fight closely and carefully because he just couldn't figure out where he had seen a person like this before, just he had a look of shock in his face " the boy is dead" Hades said."" That's what I just said brother" Zeus replied." We are not talking about the same boy" Hades said as he continued to watch the fight. Irenaeus was getting pummeled in the ring and Hades still believed he would emerge the Victor, ' my brother has gone mad' Zeus taught to himself, just then irenaeus had had enough of the beating and for a second his eyes turned from black to blue just like how every god's eyes were. His had his face down and his blood dripped to the ground. The giant boy laughed and threw his heaviest punch yet but to everyone's shock, irenaeus caught the punch with one hand, he then raised his head to look at the boy who began to tremble in his shoes. Maribeth was shocked at what just happened. Irenaeus had a look in his eyes, a look that hera was too familiar with. Zeus sat in shock and Hades had a smile in his face for the first time in a while, his suspicions were correct, he had found a descendant of the hero of Greek, Heracles who sat among the gods was also shocked because at that moment, irenaeus actually resembled him. Irenaeus didn't even have to punch the boy, he landed a blow right in his abdomen and the boy was sent flying backwards, the sheer force of the punch broke the half of the ring where the boy stood and he landed in the middle of the crowd and everyone went quiet. Irenaeus eyes went back to normal after that. Everyone was shocked, including the him. In his mind he asked himself ' what was that, was that the primordial spirit inside me, no time to think, I must've proven myself now' ." Have I earned my right to defense now " irenaeus said as he approached the gods." Actually..." Zeus didn't finish his statement when Poseidon dashed pass him to congratulate him." Mortals, I give you your champion" he said as he lifted irenaeus' hand to the air and the crowds roar was heard once more. Just then a dark cloud covered the sky and a lightening bolt struck in the middle of the ring and everyone was silent again." Who are you mortal" Zeus asked. " My name is irenaeus" he said as he looked at his mother who signaled him not to speak further " son of Hercules". The whole crowd gasped and murmurs were heard all over the place. Her was shocked because all these years she believed that Hercules only son had been killed. Hercules got up an lept from his seat and landed in the middle of the ring, boy I do not accept blasphemy against me" he said as he grabbed him by the neck." No, stop" Maribeth said as she ran towards them to try to save her son. When hera saw the woman running towards them she immediately remembered her little encounter, the amount of displease that filled heras' heart could be seen on her face." Please forgive my son's foolishness" Maribeth said as she ran towards Hercules and grabbed his hands." Enough, first you were caught in the Chambers built for gods now you are claiming to be one, how dare you, you will not go unpunished, you will be fed to the Cyclops" Zeus said as he called his guards to cease him and take him to cicile to be fed to the Cyclops a gust of wind was felt and Hades floated down to the ring." I understand you are a very light headed deity brother but can't you see the resemblance" Hades said " he is obviously the son of your son both in attitude, looks and as we have seen he possess godlike powers" Hades said as he stared at irenaeus who showed no sign of fear, instead he felt like it was his birthright to be among the gods." Obviously you are believing in blasphemy" hera said as she floated down to the ring " this mortal cannot be a deity and should be fed to the Cyclops along with his family members to prove a lesson"." No, I'm beginning to believe him" Hercules said with a look of familiarity in his eyes, he knows he has seen Maribeth before but he just didn't know where. The whole crowd were watching closely as it seemed interesting to them." You do not speak when true deities are speaking boy" said hera to Hercules. Just then Hercules felt an excruciating pain in the back of his head, the magic hera used to lock up the memory of Maribeth in his head was Waring off and he was remembering her but then Hercules passed out due to the sheer pain but before he did, he saw bright flashes and some fragments of what he taught were memories. He was immediately transported to the healers and the competition ended. Maribeth and irenaeus were being kept in the castle untill the gods came back from the healers." What type of idiocy did you just display" said Maribeth as she scolded her son." Mother aren't you tired of living in the shadows your whole life when you know you deserve to be here" said irenaeus. " I don't want to live here, do you know how many mortals slept with deities and continued their lives normally, the deities r**e and do as they please and there's nothing we mortals can do about it" said Maribeth. " I'm not like other mortals" said irenaeus.

* Meanwhile in Tartarus*

Prometheus and atlas we're in a cave in one of the mountains in Tartarus. " I appreciate the release from my eternal prison but why did you do it" said atlas. " Because I know how it feels like to be trapped in an eternal prison, my punishment from Zeus was to have my liver eaten by a bird every day and every night it would heal back only for the bird to come back and eat it all over again, that was untill his own son Hercules released me" said Prometheus " he will be the cause of his father's downfall". " Good luck, but I'm not celebrating my freedom only go get back into the prison, you will do this on your own" said atlas." What happened to you, you used to be ruthless and fearless" said Prometheus. " That was untill I fought Zeus, he is a dangerous deity and it is unwise to fight him alone, not when he has the other gods, the harpies and the hekatonkaries by his side we are outnumbered" said atlas. " Don't you want your sweet revenge" asked Prometheus. " Yes, but I can't fight Zeus even with my strength and endurance and your power of foretaught we are still nothing compared to him" said atlas." I know that, that's why we are going to release the payment that almost succeeded in ending Zeus, together he would be nothing. Zeus took everything away from me, the humans were supposed to answer to me" said Prometheus." What exactly are you planning to do" asked atlas." Let's just say, he's going to have one heck of a family reunion" said Prometheus as he stood up from the rock upon which he sat." We are going to release Cronus" said Prometheus. Atlas eyes were wide opened as he knew how dangerous Cronus was.

*Meanwhile in Olympus*

Zeus and hera had returned from the healers temple. The healers had said that his memory was cracking and if it wasn't fixed soon, he would loose his grasp of reality, he wouldn't be able to tell good from evil anymore and might even kill for fun, that is considering the fact that he actually wakes up, the only thing that could cure him would be the tear drop of a Cyclops which. Her was secretly eased with the news because she spent all of Hercules life trying to get rid of him but now it had been accomplished, the only problem now was the boy. " You boy, you claim to be my son's son" asked Zeus." Yes your highness" said irenaeus. " And you, if you truly slept with my son how come.e you never spoke of it" asked Zeus to Maribeth. Maribeth looked at Hera who stood beside Zeus. Zeus then looked at Hera who looked ashamed of herself." I should have known you'd have something to do with this" said Zeus." Hercules is not our son so he shouldn't even exist right now" said hera " his generation is meaningless and so they should not be here, this boy if the effect of a mistake and I hope your son does of this condition" said hera with anger . " Listen boy, if truly you are the son of Hercules you would be able to get the tear of the Cyclops" hara said to irenaeus. " Yes ma'am" irenaeus replied with enthusiasm. " Are you mad woman, he would get killed by the monsters on the way" Zeus said. " Hercules survived the creatures of the outside world, why shouldn't he be able to" said hera " this will serve proof that he truly is a son of Hercules". " With all due respect ma'am, my son will not ..." Maribeth didn't finish her sentence when irenaeus cut in " I'll do it your highnesses" he said enthusiastically. " Good, you shall leave tonight" Hera said and left to her Chambers. Zeus was not in support of the decision but he allowed it to save his son. Maribeth and irenaeus were at the boat leaving Athens which was the boat Hera put them in." Son please don't do this, we can hide from Hera somehow" said Maribeth." Mother please, think of this as my own decision, you saw what I was capable of, I can do this" irenaeus said. " Even gods get killed in the outside world" said Maribeth." I'm no god, I'm a mortal with a reason to fight" said irenaeus as he went into the boat. He kissed his mother goodbye and the boat left. In the boat he met other people whose legs were chained to their seats." Hello companions, are you on a noble quest like I am" asked irenaeus. " Do you think this is a quest boat" asked the girl by his right. " This is a sacrifice boat, where outcasts get thrown into to feed the monsters out there, boats like these don't come back" said the boh who sat by his left boy. Irenaeus looked at them and had a smirk in his face. He held the chains on their feet and broke it with his bare hands, everyone was shocked." What are your names companions" he asked. " I'm soberto" said the boy " and this is my sister erasa" said the boy, and I commend you for your strength but where you're going, you'll need more than just strength" they said. Meanwhile back in Olympus, Hera was in her quarters, she held a ball and called said a chant

Serpents of the sky

What I say you shall do

Oh might Herpies

I summon you

She said and on the ball she saw a cave of sleeping Herpies and then she said." Herpies, servants of royalty, make sure the young boy irenaeus son of Hercules whose on a quest never returns from it." Immediatley she said this, the Herpies opened their eyes and their and began to walk and hundreds of them flew out of the cave simultaneously searching for irenaeus.

*Meanwhile in Tartarus*

"So your plan is to doom us all right" said atlas to Prometheus." Not only Cronus, we will also release Typhon, kratos and our fallen brothers, we will start the Titan war all over again but this time the outcome will be different, this time we will be stronger than ever" said Prometheus." And what makes you so sure they'll listen to you, they are the most hot headed beings on the planet" asked atlas. " Let's just say, I have my ways" said Prometheus as he looked at the gem in his staff. Atlas didn't know what the gem was for but Prometheus was certainly sure it must be powerful because it must have been what enabled him to destroy the rock with equal weight as the earth.
