(I'll let you Omni to do the opening act while I'm running away from Reiner and the angry readers)

Omni: Really? You're leaving me to do all this? Well alright, if you say so! I still don't know if I should be excited or concerned for this chapter, since I'm currently in the dark as much as the readers, but okay.

Hanaichi-chan does not own PJO or HOO.

Now onwards to the story!

Chapter 29

When we arrived at Olympus, Artemis left us behind and let us wait at the front door. I didn't know why, but I'm able to numb down the guilt, at least I repressed the guilt until I didn't show it on my face. I just didn't want people to notice it and begin to rant about how it's not my fault or this is what Zoe wanted. I leaned back on the wall while letting out a long breath, I'm exhausted and I need a break from all of this. But I can't go anywhere and avoid all of it. I'm trapped in the camp and I can't just show up at my apartment room. My mom sent me there for my own safety, just because I'm not a normal demigod, because the gods want to make sure that I am on their side. On the other hand, they didn't trust me.

Why the hell did I fight for them in the first place?

Then the door opened, Percy gulped nervously beside me. He didn't have to be nervous, the Gods didn't want his head on a silver plate right now. They wanted mine. I began to walk into the Throne room, with Thalia, Bianca, Percy, and Annabeth trailing behind me. Let's just get this over, I'm tired and I missed my bed. The five of us quickly bowed down in the presence of the Gods and Goddesses of Olympus. The Winter Solstice meeting, when all the Gods and Goddesses gathered here to meet and discuss things. Did they hold a meeting like this when one of them decided to kill both of Reiner and dragged one of them here?

"Rise, heroes," I heard Artemis' voice echoed throughout the throne room.

I stood up and stared ahead, I tried my best to hide my emotions. I could feel someone stared at me intently, I glanced and saw Apollo beaming at me with a proud expression. I felt a little strange at that sight, on one hand I felt happy that at least one god wanted me alive, but on the other hand I wanted to tear his face off for bringing me here, without asking whether I wanted it or not. I heard a distant 'MOOO' from behind Zeus' throne and Grover ran towards us, with a happy expression on his face. But, he stopped when he saw me, his eyes trailed onto my clothes and stopped there for a moment. I didn't even bother to question why he's staring, my clothes are stained with blood, both Jake's and Zoe's. I already wiped their blood on my face, but I can still feel it. The warmth of the blood and the strong smell of iron. I quickly tightened my fist when I remembered Zoe's limp body fell towards me, I tried to repress the sudden urge to blow up right here and now.

Grover decided to hold his tongue when he saw my expression and he moved to Percy's side. Whispering to each other, probably asking what happened to me. I quickly tuned out pretty much everything that happened around me, while I tried my best not to snap. I saw Artemis stood up from her throne and explained everything. The Gods and Goddesses listened intently before they began to murmur to each other after Artemis explained everything. But, before they could continue, the door swung opened and Hades walked into the throne room as well.

Zeus quickly rose up from his throne, eyes flashing in anger and disbelief. Poseidon only blinked at his older brother's sudden arrival, Aphrodite sent Hades a knowing wink and then she occupied herself with a mirror on her hand. Apollo's eyes widened when he saw Hades strolled in and stopped right by my side. Hades scanned the throne room and looked at the rest of the gods, right in their eyes. Hades kept his facial expression neutral, but I bet he wanted to smirk smugly, especially towards Zeus, who condemned him in the first place.

"Why are you here?" Zeus asked. "Brother," and he spat the word 'brother'.

"I was invited here, by one of you," Hades answered easily. "And I would feel bad for them if I refused to come. After all, we have so many things to discuss about our father's revival."

"Zeus," Poseidon tried to calm his brother down. "If one of us invited him here, then Hades has the right to join us."

Zeus gritted his teeth as he sat back on his throne again, but his eyes scanned the throne room. He tried to find who the fuck invited Hades here? The room air grew tense every second and no one dare to start speaking again. Even Artemis only stared at her father with an unreadable look, then after a few minutes of silence Artemis began to speak again. This time concerning our fate, Artemis said that we are heroes and some of them grunted in acknowledgement. Apollo agreed with his twin sister and he began to clear the throat, but before a word escaped his lips, Hermes cut him off and asked the gods who favored to let us live. But, then...

"I guess we have to exclude your son in that, Apollo," Zeus grumbled.

I only blinked when I heard that, while Apollo only stared at his father with disbelief. Hades glared at Zeus with annoyance, while Aphrodite gave Zeus her most nasty glare.

"I agree," Athena added. "We will discuss his fate, after we discuss the fate of the rest of the young heroes."

I couldn't believe what I just heard, did they really want to exclude me?! I knew for the first time that my existence defied everything in here, but that didn't mean they can just cast me out. Inside my mind, I could hear Kronos chuckle and say 'typical'.

"Why?!" Thalia started to protest. "He's helped us more than we can imagine! He even risked his life to save us!"

"You mean by beheading my creation and create chaos in my junkyard?" Hephaestus grunted.

"One of your 'creations' almost killed us," this time Percy spoke.

"And he altered the prophecy," this time Hera spoke. "Apollo tried to hide the fact, but some of us already knew that the prophecy didn't affect him. Another member of your quest is supposed to be dead, but they are still alive and is standing in here."

A lot of eyes landed on me, and I felt it a little hard to breath. My hand trembled when I heard Kronos' words, that Bianca's fate is death, and her death will be painful.

"Do you understand why we want to discuss his case separately?" Athena said. "He is different than the rest of you."

I could feel their eyes staring at me, Grover, Percy, Thalia, Annabeth, and Bianca only stared at me. They were just staring but none of them tried to speak, or tried to ask whether Athena and Hera's accusation is true or not.

"Reiner?" I heard Thalia's voice. "Is this true? That you can alter the prophecy and that one of us is supposed to be dead?"

"Thalia," Percy warned her. "Not now."

"Yes," I answered, much to Percy's surprise. "I can alter the prophecy if I wanted to, and the prophecy itself didn't affect me."

"And why are you telling us now?" Annabeth asked this time. "We are friends, right?"

"I'm sorry," I whispered "It's just that, a lot of things have happened, and I just couldn't find the right time. And I can't explain it. I can't explain the reason why I can do that."

It's a lie. I knew why it happened to me, but I didn't want the gods to know about it. If they knew, one of them might just incinerate me on the spot.

"Go on," I said and offered a fake smile at them. "You can continue."

And then, Hermes continued his speech, and asked who was in favor to let my friends live. Demeter and Aphrodite raised their hand but Ares cut them off. He said that Thalia and Percy are dangerous, since they are both children of the Big Three. I almost snickered at this, they didn't know that Bianca and Nico are children of Hades. Hades didn't say anything either, he just listened to his siblings with an uninterested look on his face. I didn't know why, but I felt a little bit calm when Hades decided to make a throne and he sat right next to me. Hades didn't say anything during the meeting, he just watched the whole thing. Then suddenly out of nowhere, Zeus offered Thalia to be his lieutenant, she will be serving right under Zeus and her aging process will be slowed down. Thalia pondered it for a moment before agreeing to it, she finally decided to hand the prophecy towards Percy. Artemis promoted Bianca to being her new lieutenant, and they decided to keep them alive, for now. And the Ophiotarus is safe within Olympus' walls, where no monster or demigod will dare to kill it.

"Now, for the most important part," Zeus said as his eyes landed on me. "It's about the fate of Reiner Lockhart."

I tensed a bit when I sensed great dislike from Zeus' tone, I felt like he hated me for some reason. But, then again, Zeus barely loved anything aside from his own daughter.

"What should we do with the boy?" Zeus asked again. "I know the last time we discussed about it, the majority of you wanted the boy to live. But, after a few stunts that he pulled, maybe we should reconsider our choices."

"He still could be of use to us," Athena said. "It's a great risk, but if he pleaded his loyalty to us, he could be our greatest weapon since the prophecy didn't bind him."

"He's dangerous," Dionysus said and yawned. "Best we get rid of him, before he turns his back against us and kill all of us."

"I agree with Dionysus," Ares said and eyeing me with a hateful look. "Do you even remember when he tried to kill the Ophiotaurus? Do you want to take that risk again? He maybe managed to fool his friends, but I can see it. This boy was almost serious about killing that thing."

"And the fact that he already bathed in the River Styx," Hephaestus said. "No regular mortal or demigod could withstand an explosion right in such close proximity. Also the fact that he didn't have any scars at all, despite all of his friends have scars littered on their body."

"WHAT?!" Zeus stood from his position and glared at me.

"Hephaestus is right," Hades said while intertwining his finger. "I watched him take a dip in the River Styx."

"Brother, what's your point?" Poseidon asked Hades.

Hades rose up from his throne. "While you were sitting on your thumbs, denying the fact that our father is indeed beginning to rise from Tartarus slowly. I and a certain goddess decided it would be best if we remained one step ahead of them."

"Reiner here is a very special demigod," Hades said and his eyes scanned the whole room, despite the fact that he didn't use his divine form, he still looked regal as hell.

"I prepared him to kill our father once and for all, Hades continued.

Then, out of nowhere, Zeus' Master Bolt appeared in his hand, the room began to crackle with pure energy and I could smell ozone in the air, the scent is so thick and overpowered all the scent in the air.

"Brother," Poseidon began to narrow his eyes towards Zeus. "What do you think you are doing?"

"My dear," Hera sighed tiredly. "Don't do anything foolish, please."

But, before I could even blink, Zeus shot a pure ray of lightning towards me. My eyes widened at this, I didn't know if I can survive this or not, I would likely be evaporated if that thing hit me. I heard a couple screams behind me, then I saw a big black blur and something deflected those rays of energy. It hit one of the pillar and obliterated it completely, the sound was so loud and my ears were still ringing. If I can hear anything after this, consider myself lucky, since there's a huge thunderbolt struck near me. My eyes widened when I saw Hades stood in front of me protectively, his Stygian Iron sword n his hand, he just deflected Zeus' Master Bolt like it was nothing. I began to see, how strong Hades truly is, and Zeus and Poseidon had the right to fear him. The throne room suddenly became completely silent, nobody dare to move or make a sound. The tension was still high in the air and the killing intent is thick in the air, my knees began to buckle, and I fell into my knee.

I couldn't believe that Zeus almost killed me, that goddamn idiot almost killed me. What the fuck is his problem?! Why did he hate me more than anything? Hell, is his hatred towards me is bigger than his hatred towards Percy?! What did I do to him, to make him hate me this much? I heard someone stood up and walked towards us, and this time I saw Apollo stand in front of me. His body language screamed anger, he's mad because his own father tried to kill his own son. But, not only anger, hatred also radiated from Apollo, which is rare. Apollo barely held this much hatred, he was usually a happy go lucky god, so why?

"I won't let you kill him," Apollo said. "Kill him, and I will declare war on you, father."

Almost all the council members gasped when they heard it, looks like Apollo never threatened Zeus before.

"I have had enough of you destroying everything I cherish, brother," Hades spoke in a dark tone, and I swore the shadows began to shimmer in the room. "First Maria and now him? I never hurt you and your family, so don't you dare touch what's mine."

"Well, if you so intent to kill him," Aphrodite said while examined her nails. "Count me in, Uncle Hades."

"YOU!" Zeus bellowed in anger. "So, you're the one who invited him here!"

Aphrodite huffed in anger. "So what? There's never been a rule that forbids us to invite other Gods or Goddesses to join us."

"Enough!" I heard Hera yell in anger. "This matter is becoming ridiculous! I won't have a fight inside our throne room!"

Zeus begrudgingly sat down on his throne, while Apollo walked back into his own and his eyes never left Zeus for once. My heart was still beating faster inside my chest and I cannot get rid the image of Zeus trying to kill me. I think I will never be able to erase that image, ever.

"I say, we let him live," Athena said. "But, under Chiron's watch. We can watch his movements, and if he has the potential of betraying us, then," Athena's cold eyes landed on me. "We can kill him on the spot. It will be hard to kill him with his invulnerability, but there are several ways to kill him, by poisoning him or drowning him."

Annabeth let out a protest, but Athena quickly silenced her daughter.

"I don't like your proposition," Apollo stated icily. "You speak as if my son is a flight risk. Do you even realize that this kind of act can cause him to turn his back on us?"

Athena glared at Apollo, clearly, she didn't like that someone was against her idea. "I only stated the facts, Reiner is dangerous both for us and the enemy. I just take a precaution in case he decided to betray us."

Apollo narrowed his eyes, but he didn't say anything. Hades only sighed in annoyance as he looked at Athena with a bored look.

"He might be a danger to us, but isn't it better to make him trust us more? At least make him like us?" Hades said. "If all of you keep restricting and monitoring, plotting to kill him, using him all you want, then there's a big chance that he will turn his back on us," Hades said and looked at Athena's stormy grey eyes. "It's unrefutable logic, my dear niece. Your proposition would only set up Reiner to betray and cause our own destruction."

"You mean we have to spoil and sweet talk him into saving us?!" Zeus bellowed. "We don't need him to save our lives from Kronos. We can beat him, just with my daughter leading the army, we can beat Kronos."

Thalia's ears turned red at her father's words, but her eyes shifted to me. She looked uncomfortable after her father just declared that, after everything I have done, it's useless. I tightened my fist at his words, anger began to bubble inside me.

They dare to snatch me from my old life, separate me from Clara and my family, destroy all of my dreams. Ripped me away from normal life, ripped my mom away from me, and I always tried to save them countless times and risked my life just for them. And they said that it's useless! It's useless?! My body shook with rage as I gathered every ounce of my patience not to pounce Zeus right here and now, or to kill the Ophiotaurus and then kill the council members. My eyes were getting hotter every second, I tried to stay positive the whole time, but it's hard when all of the things just tried to kick me down. Why? Why the world suddenly turned its back on me, when I gave my all to save it? It didn't feel this way, in my previous life.

Perhaps, because I had somebody who trusted in me and supported me unconditionally and continuously. Or, perhaps I didn't have to risk everything just to save the world. I didn't know anymore, all of this is just too much for me. I-I can't, I just can't do it anymore. I knew I just contradicted everything I have said, but this...

This is beyond me, everything tried to crush me into pieces. I just...I just...

A hand touched mine and my head snapped up, I saw Percy giving me a worried look. I wanted to yank my hand away from him, I just wanted to run away from all of this. I just wanted everything to end, I wanted to end this suffering. No matter how much support Percy gave me, it was just too much. Percy cannot protect me from those gods, or from the whole world that tried to fuck me up. Maybe, if I killed them all, my friend could live happily ever after, and I can come back to my family, plus I didn't have to fear death anymore. I heard voices all around me, but none of them registered in my head, it's just passing through my ear. I took a step back and bumped into Percy, who quickly grabbed my shoulder to steady me.

"Enough!" I heard Zeus yell, his voice silenced the argument between the gods.

Zeus sighed in annoyance as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "This is going nowhere. Very well, we'll take a vote now," then he cleared his throat. "Those who favor to kill the boy?"

A few hands were raised: Hephaestus, Demeter, Hera, Ares, and Zeus.

"And those who favor the let the boy live?"

Apollo, Poseidon, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Dionysius, Hermes, and Hades raised their hands in the air.

Zeus then slammed his symbol of power into the marble floor and I heard thunder rumble somewhere near the throne room.

"The boy will live," Zeus said distastefully. "But, if we see any sign of him trying to betray us, then there will be punishment for him. The council meeting is dismissed."

The party that they held sure is very beautiful, but I didn't want to join. I just stood not too far away and leaned back onto a pillar. A goblet of coke was in my hand, I just watched the Gods mingle with each other. I wanted to be alone for now, like I said before, I was exhausted physically and mentally, and this council meeting only made it worse. I saw Apollo approached me with a gloomy look, his usually bright blue eyes this time, it's a little bit darker. He stopped in front of me and gave me an awkward smile.

"I'm proud of you," he said and locked eyes with me. "You know that, right?"

I quickly looked away from him, as I didn't know how to reply.

"I know this is hard for you," he continued. "The responsibility is too big for you, but..." he reached out and put his hand on my shoulder. "I believe you will do the right thing in the end."

I sighed heavily and faced him. "Dad" I started slowly. "Who am I? Like, why am I even here?"

I could feel Apollo's hand stiffened on my shoulder, and his expression quickly changed into worry and fear. He pulled his hand from my shoulder and his eyes darted around the room, probably afraid someone could hear our conversation.

"What are you saying?" he said and grinned. "You are my son, my favorite son. I know, Hades also claimed you, but..."

"Why does my soul belong to him?" I insisted. "Just tell me what happened. I need to know why I am here, so I can fight for the right reason!"

Apollo took a step back as he shook his head. "I can't tell you, I already made a promise."

I only scoffed. "I can only guess that you're hiding something vital, something that can make me turn my back away from you," I took a step forward and stared at his eyes. "I need to know why."

Apollo sighed as his eyes trailed to Hades, who watched our exchange. "Reiner, I..." Apollo hesitated for a moment. "I can't tell you. Not now, not when you're exhausted emotionally."

Then he left me there, standing without explaining anything further. I could only stare at his back with a look of disbelief. I gripped my goblet tighter, holding an urge to throw it at the wall or at somebody. I walked to the nearest table and put the goblet on there, I had lost my appetite and my mood is worsening with every second.

"Reiner!"

I turned around and found Bianca looking at me with a worried look. I only stared at her and noticed subtle changes in her. She looked much more confident and stronger, the old timid Bianca is gone. I smiled slightly at her and leaned back on the table.

"Are you okay?" she asked me and then she seemed flustered. "Sorry. I didn't mean to ask that, you must feel horrible after everything that has happened."

I laughed a little. "It's fine," I said and shook my head. "Why are you not at the party?"

Bianca took something from her jacket pocket, when she opened her hand, I saw a beautiful silver hairpin with a crescent moon on it. She offered her hand to me, as if telling me to take it.

"It's from Zoe," she said slowly. "She wanted you to have this."

My eyes felt hot for a moment and I quickly averted my gaze from Bianca, I didn't want her to see me cry. I blinked several times and took a deep breath, to calm down.

Bianca took my hand and opened it gently, then she put the hairpin in there. Slowly she closed my fingers around it and held my hand for a moment. I let out a strained sob and shook my head quickly, I felt my hand trembled in Bianca's much smaller hand.

"I don't deserve it," I said quietly. "I barely save anyone."

Bianca tightened her grip. "You saved my life!" and she continued in a softer tone. "I appreciated it, I bet Zoe appreciated it too. You showed her that not all heroes are bad."

I bit my lower lips hard as Bianca looked up at me, I shut my eyes tight as a pain began to erupt from my heart. I could swear it shattered into a million pieces right now. I didn't deserve anything, I couldn't save anyone and I just made everything worse. My existence only made everything worse, so why? Why did they bring me here? Why didn't they let the original Reiner die and let me live in my own world? Why did they have to drag me into this? And after all of that, none of them appreciate what I had done?

I yanked my hand from Bianca's and stormed out of the throne room, I didn't care anymore if they think I'm rude. My head and emotions are a mess, everything is a mess, my sight started to get blurry as hot tears started to fall again, once more. I knew that crying won't solve anything, I knew that what I did won't bring Zoe back from death. I put my free hand on a tree as I tried to control my breathing, it's just suffocating inside there. A girl just died for them and they didn't even mourn for her death, they didn't care about Zoe's fate. They were just glad that they lived, they didn't care if their safety cost someone else's life. Maybe for them, heroes or demigods were just their pawn. One of us dying and they just replace us easily, we are disposable. I let out a dry chuckle and then it turned into a full-blown laughter.

What did I expect? Those gods are selfish, I should have known that when I saw those fragments of memories with Apollo and Hades. And Kronos did say that my existence here was because one of their selfish desires.

"Reiner?"

I stopped laughing and turned around, only to find Percy standing there. His sea green eyes locked with mine, and I saw that he looked worried. I unconsciously wiped the remaining tears out of my eyes and plastered a fake smile. I never knew that I would be able to bury all those feelings and faking a feeling, like this. Maybe I should consider being an actor after this.

"Why aren't you inside there?" he asked me.

"You mean partying?" I asked.

Percy tightened his lips when he caught my sarcastic tone.

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. "I'm not in the mood, Percy. I need some time alone to sort out what the fuck just happened inside there."

I leaned back on the tree trunk. "One moment they planned to kill me, and now they are partying?" I scoffed. "Fucking unbelievable!"

"But, they decided to let you live!" Percy said a bit louder.

"Until what?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Until they decide that I'm no longer able to fight for them? Until I'm no longer useful for them?" I clicked my tongue. "You saw them and one of them clearly tried to kill me openly like that."

Percy flinched when I mentioned that moment when Zeus tried to turn me into human barbeque. I only rolled my eyes and let out a dark chuckle.

"You are crazy if you think I want to have a party with someone who almost killed me. And he didn't even think of apologizing, he just grumbled because Hades saved my ass," I said and glared at the throne room. "Prick," I muttered the last part under my breath.

"They didn't even grieve over Zoe's death!" I spat. "She died for them, and they didn't even fucking grieve over her death!" I clenched my fist. "For them, Zoe's death was nothing, they don't care about us!"

Percy only stared at me with a dumbfounded look, clearly surprised by my sudden outburst of negative emotions.

"They didn't even apologize for screwing my life!" I yelled. "They ripped me away from my old life and thrust me into this world! They didn't even ask for my fucking consent!"

I glared at Percy for a moment before closing my eyes. "Forget it. I'm leaving."

Percy grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. "Did you forget our conversation back at Annabeth's house? Are you forgetting all of that?!" he pushed me into the tree hard. "Just how fucking dense are you?! How many times do I have to beat it into your head until you understand?! Don't take everything by yourself! We are here for you! Or do you think we are that stupid or weak to take some of your problem away?!"

I opened my mouth to retort, but Percy beat me to it.

"I fucking try to understand you! I do try!" he gripped my shoulder hard. "But you always pushed me away! And you're suddenly angry because no one understands you?! Then stop pushing everyone away and stop acting like an ass!"

I pushed him back. "Because it's hard for me! It's hard for me to live in here while I don't understand my purpose! My whole talk about me accepting it?! It's just a lie! I'm lying to myself, so I can keep going! I lied to myself because I need a reason why I'm even in here, in this fucked up situation!"

I took a handful of his collar. "You don't understand it, because you have a clear purpose. A naive one, but still a purpose. You exist to kill Kronos, it's had been written in your fate. And what frustrates me is, how fucking naive you are! You always believe the gods blindly, you don't even try to ask their purpose for making your life a living hell! You just go with it, accepting it!" I pushed him back as I glared at him harshly.

Percy narrowed his eyes at me and unconsciously let out a frustrated growl. "So are you! You are trying to kill Kronos, too."

"How do you know? The prophecy didn't affect me and I can alter it whenever I want," I said in a low tone. "I can change sides whenever I want. The only thing that made me stay because I think it's the right thing to do. But, the line between right and wrong is so thin, and none of us can truly understand it. Believe me, I have been there once, Percy. I had been crossing that line back and forth, and even I had to walk in the between. It's just a matter of perception," I smiled coldly "And after all this? I began to doubt my choice, is a good one? Or a bad one? The gods are not better than Kronos, they just ignorant and apathetic towards us."

"I did say to Luke if he dethrones the gods, the cycle will never end," I shrugged my shoulders. "Kronos killed his dad, just like what Zeus did to Kronos. But, maybe just maybe, the cycle could be broken by killing those who are ignorant. Or maybe killing one of them as an example."

"Reiner," Percy whispered. "Snap out of it. This isn't you."

I laughed hard and shook my head. "You sure, Percy? Anger and hatred could change a person's perceptive you know. And yes, I can get angry and be able to hate people, it's called emotions."

"Kronos is just screwing with your mind!" Percy said again.

"What if it's true?" I asked him and locked eyes with him. "What if those things Kronos told me is true? Then the gods are evil too? Just like Kronos and the monsters, they screw with innocent lives for their own amusement or personal gain."

Percy grabbed my collar and brought my face closer to him. "Remember my words, Reiner. Even if Kronos takes over your body, with your consent or not. I will bring you back to your senses, no matter what I will do, even if I have to destroy the world itself. I will bring you back to your senses, because you are like a brother to me. And I don't want to explain to your mother that I killed you or was the cause of your death," then he let go of my collar. "Go home and rest. Your mind is a fucking mess, then we can talk about this again."

He walked away from me and then he stopped. "I'm still sad about Zoe, but I think Zoe wanted us to cherish her and her sacrifice and keep moving foward. She wanted us to keep going and save this world from Kronos."

I clenched my jaw when Percy disappeared into the throne room, I let out an angry yell and punched the tree hard. I didn't care anymore, even if Demeter will force me to eat cereal for the rest of my life. I just need something to channel my anger and sadness.

'Kronos!' I called.

'Changing your mind?' Kronos said in an amused tone.

'We need to talk,' I said and walked towards the elevator door. 'Just the two of us.'

'About what?' Kronos yawned.

'My past and how the fuck I got stuck here,' I said in cold tone. 'And I don't care if I have to kill a fucking mortal for it. I just want to know the reason, so I can take action for it,' I slammed my fist into the elevator wall in anger. 'I have had enough over the fact that they kept me in the dark. It's time for me to learn the truth.'

'Fine,' Kronos said. 'I guess, we can meet Hecate and Hypnos for it. She can get rid of those annoying spells and Mist in your memories, and Hypnos could help you remember it. They altered your after death memories'

'Who did that? Who the fuck told them to alter my memories?!' I asked in anger.

I could feel Kronos smirk inside of my mind. 'It was Apollo and Hades.'

Me: Do they still want to kill me? (talk through phone)

Omni: Yep, and I'm not sure I can blame them. This is some serious stuff, and I don't necessarily agree with it.

Me: Is Reiner still there or is he already gone? I bet he wanted to kill me.

Omni: I haven't really talked to Reiner, but chances are that he will want to kill you.

Me: I never meant the chapter to be so dark, but I think it's going to be okay, right?

Omni: Well, that remains to be seen, this is a pretty drastic turn from what's been established throughout the story. So what now?

Me: Let Reiner learn how to cope with his sadness. He's never truly had it before like this, you know, to see an important person die in front of you. And he learned that his family probably felt the same way, too. I wanted to write something that was full of rainbow and happiness. But, this plot is better. For me anyway.

Omni: Okayyy, whatever you say, keep telling yourself that. No telling how the other readers will react, but for now I'll trust your judgement.

Me : Also, I'm trying to rewrite the story from the beginning. I'm trying to give Jake a reason for why he hated Reiner and wanted to bring the gods down. The change that I will make won't change anything major. It's more like I'm adding more information and building up the storyline for the better.

Omni: Okay then. I hope that works out.

Me: I think I will be in hiding for a moment. So, no one will be able to kill me (shiver). Omni can you please close this chapter? I think I heard someone knocking on my door. Bye, bye!

Omni: Good luck with that! And apologies to everyone, I am equally to blame for the long time since the last update!

Don't forget to follow, favorite, and Review, everyone!

And see you next time!
