Zane: The Atlantean Prince

CHAPTER 5: THE GOD OF DEAD; THE NECROMANCER

"Have you found him?" Leito asked one of his men. He is in his chamber, sitting on his bed. He was about to sleep when the visitor asked for his presence. He was the secret son of Apollimi to a lowly Atlantean. He was never claimed by his mother and he hates her, but he was loyal to his people.

The guy in black cloak shook his head. His face could not be seen, and his hands were covered in black gloves. Everything in him is black. "It was difficult to trace his power, it's probably masked, or it hasn't developed yet."

"The Foreseer said that the king was about to be born that year, but she lost contact with the child before he was born. Something might have happened that concealed his whereabouts."

"We will do our best to find the king's child." The black cloaked guy bowed his head.

"You have to. Find him at all cost," he said, his glare could pierce into someone's soul and die on the spot. "He must fulfill his destiny."

"We will find him." The black man bowed again before disappearing.

"It took us years to fully create an escape portal from Atlantis to the human realm," the woman in a red silk dress said, standing beside Leito's bed. "And that portal can only fit one person at a time. It is also weak that it disappears for hours and appears for only fifteen minutes."

"We can make that portal stronger anytime." Leito scratched his chin. "I want to end my people from suffering in Atlantis. They are tired of living separately. It is time to set them free. Their suffering is enough payment for what they have done in the past. Atlantis will rise again. To hell with Zeus."

"How can we make that portal stronger? Is there a way?" she asked.

"There is one cunning god who is always bored in his life and has the ability to create a better portal." He grinned and his eyes showed greed.

"Who is the one in your mind?" She sat on the foot of Leito and hugged his muscular legs. He reached for one of her breasts and cupped it. He slowly rubbed his hand and the girl moaned.

"Hermes. He always loves to play tricks with other Olympians, and he always escapes their wrath. They can't kill him. He has a big role as a god." He continued rubbing her breast and made her moan even louder.

"H-how can you convince him to help us?" She held his both knees and slowly spread them apart. Her hands carefully glide towards his crotch. Leito bit his lower lip as the woman continued in teasing the first king of Atlantis.

"It is easy to trick him." He leaned and enjoyed the gentle touch of his woman. "Desiree, you are an expert bitch." He pulled her up and kissed her wildly on her lips.

"You are making me wet, my lord." She wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him back deeply. His one hand caressed her breast while the other slapped her butt cheeks.

"My lord," a guy in black armor interrupted their play. "I have a report."

"Didn't I tell all of you to knock before entering my chamber?" He is pissed off. He never wants to be interrupted when he is busy, either in business or in bed.

"I-I'm sorry, my lord." The soldier bowed his head, asking for mercy.

"Make sure your news is really important, or I will chop your head right here."

"We lost several kakodaimon at the northeast part of the city proper." He even made his head lower to ask for more mercy. "An immortal has been spotted, fighting and killing the kakodaimons we sent there."

Leito's rage became uncontrollable. He stomped his feet and made the ground shake. "Who is that immortal? Find that out and eliminate her!"

"Y-yes, my lord." He bowed again and immediately ran fast, away from Leito.

"My lord, please calm down." She rubbed his arm gently to make him feel better. "We can send more kakodaimons there."

"But it takes time to get them out from Atlantis." He threw tantrums like a child. "I will make that immortal pay for what she did."

"My lord, we will solve it in no time. Let's just calm down and continue what we were doing earlier." She kissed him passionately, and used her two fingers to brush his body. It sent chills to Leito.

"I will make you suffer in my bed first before facing that immortal!" He pulled Desiree and laid her in bed. He stared at her beautiful face, deep black eyes, upturned nose and red, thick lips. "You are my beautiful Desiree. A b***h goddess who can turn me on in any situation."

The next day, Leito appeared in front of a restaurant by the beach. It was a sunny day. There were people swimming and playing at the seaside. He sat at one vacant chair right outside the restaurant. He shook his head. "Humans are dirty creatures. Polluting the sea and even their own land. They need to be eliminated," he said in a low voice. "Disgusting creatures."

"Leito," a young-looking man called his attention from behind. He looked behind him. A man wearing traveling clothes like a tourist, with a flat hat and a weird-looking sandals. "What do you want from me?"

"I will go straight to the point. I need your cooperation to open a portal from Atlantis to the human world." He looked straight in the god's eyes without hesitation.

Hermes sat on the vacant chair across the table, facing him. "Why would you think I will cooperate?"

"I am planning to end this humanity." He pointed at those tourists walking on the seaside. "Look at them. They are just a bunch of useless, dirty creatures roaming around and polluting the air, the water and the land. Are you happy seeing them?"

Hermes shook his head. "Honestly? No, but I need to keep the balance for a better world."

"Then help me in conquering the mortal world, then I will make you the new king of the new world."

He chuckled. "Are you not interested to be the future king of the world you are planning to create? Why offer it to me?"

"My ambition is to rise the Atlantis once more, not to become the king." He looked intently at the Greek god. "I am serious with my offer. Be our king in this world."

"Let me think about it." He crossed his arms. "I might consider your offer though. I'm quite bored lately. I have nothing to do. Why not make things exciting and adventurous?"

"I knew you were the right one to talk to." He made an evil smile. "I will wait for your positive response." Leito stood up. "I will go back to my chamber now. My eyes hurt seeing those creatures." He turned around and walked away. His lips twitched. "He is really easy to fool and play around. What a gullible immortal." He chuckled.

The right side of Hermes' lips twitched. He intently looked at the back of the Atlantean while he was walking away. "This pathetic man doesn't know me yet." He made a loud laugh before he disappeared.

"Zane," his mother called him. He is in the garage, fixing the bike that was ruined after the bullies kicked it non-stop earlier. "What happened to your bike? What happened to you? You are full of dirt, and you have bruises! Did someone hurt you? Did you get into an accident?"

"N-nothing, Mom. The brake was broken that's why I crashed in the garbage can near the school. I-it was nothing." He did not want to make a long story because he was bad in lying. He also would not want to make his mother worried about him being a victim of bullying. "I'm okay, Mom. You don't have to worry about me."

"Are you sure? I'll bring you to the hospital, and stop fixing that bike. I got my paycheck today, I will buy you a new one."

"T-thank you, Mom, but I still want to fix this. This bike is memorable to me." He smiled to make her mother feel relieved. "And I am fine, no need to send me to the hospital. I just need to apply some ointment on my bruises."

"Okay, but I will still buy you a new one. Let your father fix that broken bike. Don't even argue with me. Go and fix yourself, we will go to the mall. We will bring your siblings, too." Her Mom turned around and walked out of the garage. He knows her mother so well. You can not argue with her nor even say no once she is decided.

He stood up and went out of the garage. He better get ready or his mother will not make him breakfast. He went to his room and entered the shower to take a quick bath. He felt the pain from the bruises and the wounds. He wants the bullying to stop but he does not want to take revenge on those kids. He just shook his head and continued cleaning his wounds.
