Its been two weeks since he found himself in this city under the sea and there's been some very funny revelations, which he doesn't even know whether to believe or not , although something really happened that defied everything he knows.
Flashback
After the old man commanded the helmet be removed from his face and nobody complied because of course everyone knew it's not possible for him to be able to breathe under water, the old man decided to do it himself and with that fleeks his finger sideways and the helmet fell off the face of the newcomer whose name is Jeff and immediately everybody in the room had same reactions .
Some where trying to run down to him too wear him another helmet or something but before they could get to him he has started breathing , which surprised even him that he could do that. The old man just laughed and then walked out of the meeting throwing behind him as went a last word "oh Liam what did your mother teach you? I see she trained a god like a mere dog, no son of Zeus should be this clueless"
That's word has been a thorn in the flesh of Jim he kept thinking about it he kept in trying to understand that word, his mother never told him anything about Zeus , of course he knows who Zeus is, who doesn't? Every story book tells a story of Zeus and his supernatural sons but what has that got to do with him and that bastard Jonas?
He has been pacing in the room allocated to him by the king of Atlantis and his patience has worn thin so he decided to go look for that old man who seems to know so much about him than he ever did, walking out of his room he still marvels at the level of technological advancement in Atlantis ,the buildings are like a maze its so difficult to come out from one corner of the building to the next, so he had to ask some questions just for him to be able to navigate down to where the old man supposedly stays.
Although he was told that you have to be invited before you can see the old man, but at this point , He doesn't care he just wants to see him and give this over with.
He had to walk three Streets after the one he is living in to get to where the old man lives, he spotted the building alright , a white building that is equally very transparent like he has no idea how that was managed but he no longer gets surprised at the kind of buildings in Atlantis so he walks into the building down to the back of the building which is where they told him the old man usually just sits, he spots the old man sitting with his legs tucked under him holding a yoga meditative pose.
" it's about time showed up! been waiting for you son of Zeus, I believe you might have some questions for me or if not why are you here" this actually takes him by surprise because even him that is an alpha of a pack knows how to sneak up on people, but this guy he still in the pose, has not moved ,opened his eyes ," how the hell did you know that I'm the one?, I didn't speak , what exactly are you and how did you know I was the one it could have been any other person so you know, but I have a feeling you knew Its not somebody else but how? " he just chortles and then opens his eyes and releases is legs ,gets up and walks to a chair that looks like a throne and sits on it.
" I never had a doubt that you were mine nephew, if I did that Temper of yours would have made things Clear for me ,come sit down let's talk" he gestures to a chair that is directly opposite the throne chair, Jeff walks Jerkily to that chair and sits on it heavily with alot of thoughts in his mind.
" oh come on, cheer up nobody died its just one or two things that your dog mother should have told you, but then again we can trust dogs to always be truthful Can we?
This statement brought out serious anger from jim like how dare he call his mother a dog? just the same way humans refer to werewolves as dogs ,who the hell is he to call us dogs. As if reading his mind the old man just laughs heartily and then starts talking .
" I am Maximus the first child of Kronos the father or Zeus, then Zeus , then Hades, am sure you have read this in story books, that's not our focus today, pay attention, so back then when the world was in chaos, the gods against the paranormals, the paranormals against humans, the gods captured some dogs , I mean werewolves, and among then was Tera the alpha queen at that time" he pauses for a bit to look at Jim, " I must be honest , she was one beautiful pup, long red hair , and long legs that go on forever, unfortunately I noticed her but she got the attention of Zeus, well let's just say before we could make heads or tails about what is going on , she was already with child" Jim smiles and looks up at the old man, " they fell in love right?" This makes the old man start laughing for a long time , " look pup your mother hated the gods , so maybe they would if she gave Zeus the chance , but she did not so.... "" He trailed off , this gets an incredulous look from jim " he raped her? "
The old man just smiles, " so when she found she was with child, the threatened to kill herself and the children if I don't help her escape, which I did, Zeus never forgave me though, the idiot still thinks he would have melted her heart, anyways so she ran and last I checked gave birth to two pups, but then later died when you both were eighteen"
He looks up at Jim to see his eyes welled up with unshed tears, " she never told us, so am a demi god? " Maximus nods , " of course she did not, typical woman behavior, anyway, with you lies the destiny of the gods, humans and werewolves alike, it's a good thing you were brought to me , so I can teach you and help wakeup your powers, although your gift already has this powers"
Jim was looking at him like he has gone mad, " ok what are you talking about?, " Maximus just shakes his head " so clueless, how do you remember to take your bath daily?, Look your daughter is half human, half god, half werewolf, she is the answer to this war raging between , humans, paranormals, gods , and the earlier I help you wake your powers the faster you can go back, so you can be there atleast when she is eighteen years old, that's fourteen years from now" Jim starts laughing so hard that he starts crying,. " Why can't I go back atleast in one month? " Maximus gets up, walks over to his desk conveniently outside, and picks up a watch that has a calendar , and gives it to him.." you have spend 3 months her already, although that's one and half day here, so by the time you are done here it will be a couple of months here but fourteen years on the surface"......
