I squinted my eyes opened, the rays of the morning sun flickered into my eyes and I had no other choice but to instinctively shield my eyes with my hand. I checked where I was and it appeared I was in a small room, not at the ocean, then I realised it had been a dream.
I took my bathe and took out the new clothes I had bought the previous day after the attack and wore it, I carried the backpack I always had with me and exited the room, heading into the busy street.
I stopped at my favorite eatery, 'Bells Restaurant' and ordered for some food but not failing to take quick glances around to make sure I wasn't followed.
The food was served, not exactly a food but a Steak and kidney pie, the waiter stood behind me after he served my food, something he hadn't done before. From his face, I could tell he was new.
"You can go please"
I stated and focused on the food, the waiter left but I could still feel his gaze on me, I knew something was off but I kept my cool.
I slowly returned the steak I had almost popped in my mouth, I stood up with my bag and headed outside.
I could hear footsteps behind me and I quickened mine, I stopped like I was waiting for a cab, I looked back only to see the waiter who had served me, standing outside the eatery making some calls.
I halted an Uber and hopped in before he could make any attempts to stalk me
"Brinson Street"
I said and the driver and who wore a face cap making me unable to see his face nodded and I brought out my phone, popped on my GPS just to feel safe, after a while, I checked my location but strangely, my phone was blank. .
I looked up and noticed that we were not in the streets any longer but driving through a silent bushy path. No sign of human activities nor building. How we'd gotten there still remained a mystery.
Not again, I hate the woods! I thought as I knew that I had been gotten again.
"Hey! Where the hell are we?"
I asked but no reply.
"Stop the car now!"
I ordered, acting impatient, but there was still no reply from the man.
I tried to open the door but it wasn't opening, I used my strength to hit the door but some force repelled me back.
"It would be no use trying to escape, you ain't going anywhere"
A dark gruffy voice spoke..
it was the driver speaking. In defence, I quickly grabbed the driver from behind but strangely, my hand went through the driver and got stuck in him.
The head of the driver rotated 360 back at me and he appeared to be a faceless man, no eyes, no nose or mouth! How had he spoken? I felt the fear I hadn't felt in a long time...
"Wh. Who are you?"
I asked the strange creature who could rotate it's flexible body.
"Seems like you are more easier to capture, I wonder why others couldn't bring you in, My reward from the Overlord would be much"
Again, this creature was speaking! Speaking with no mouth! But one thing caught my attention, who is Overlord?
But there I realise something, this creature wasn't speaking physically, he was communicating through my head and I could Imagine his grin.
My ears suddenly caught the sound of a silent whizz, the creature was too late to do anything as the tip of an arrow came out through it's head and it shrieked in pains.
It suddenly vaporized into the air and my hands were once again free.
I hit the door of the Uber and the door fell off, no barriers again and I limped down looking around for who had shot the arrow but I saw no one, it was like the arrow came from no where.
The without waiting, I sprinted into the woods.
The gods couldn't have done this, not even Hades could have come to my rescue, but who had shot the arrow and saved my life?

. > >>>>>(Olympus)
The thrones of Zeus and Hera were at the other end of the council hall. Their thrones were also the only two that faced the gates. If you entered through the door of the council hall, you would see Zeus’ throne on the left and Hera’s throne on the right.
All the male Olympic thrones were all on the left front to the right and the female Olympic thrones were all on the right front to the left.
Zeus, the king of the Olympic gods, sat on an Egyptian marble throne, inlaid with gold. A purple sheep’s wool cushioned the seat. Queen Hera’s throne was ivory.
A full moon hung over her. Next to Hera sat Ares, the god of war. His burnished bronze throne had a cushion covered with human skin. The throne room, or council room, was in the middle of a sumptuous palace, built for Olympic athletes by the giant one-eyed Cyclops.
"I visited Wills as you told me to"
Hades spoke aloud as he found his way to the middle of the hall, though he wasn't really considered an Olympian since he belonged to the underworld and in atonement for his evil seed he had caused Zeus but he was allowed to enter Olympus under the cause of Trivial issues.
"I wonder what father saw in you that he made bring your filthy and dark soul into Olympus"
Ares mocked with a smug smile plastered on his face, Hades who had a short temper fumed with anger...
"Ares!!!"
Zeus yelled and the hall thundered, Lightening flashed his hands and Ares quietened, he gestured for Hades to continue.
"I spoke with him but his heart is consumed by hatred, but..."
Hades exclaimed, Zeus was unexpressionless at his words...
"Speak!"
Zeus ordered, Hades contemplated and he moved closer towards Zeus but some lightening barricade stopped him.
"When he was angry, the sky rumbled and the climate changed, I thought it was your doing"
Hades spoke and the Olympians had a confused look on their faces and they turned towards Zeus.
"His dark side is taking over and making him doing unimaginable things, that's why he must be stopped..."
Zeus spoke, Hera stood up and faced the council...
"We all don't know who wills is, he seems to be one of the bloodline of Hephaestus (god of fire) who layed with a human... And he is being hunted by some forces that even us don't know of for some unknown reason"
Hera spoke, the hall was filled with Thickened tension as they talked about Wills and the Olympians murmured among themselves...
"He is being Hunted because he has a gift he shouldn't have in his possession"
Athena who is known as the goddess of Wisdom spoke, Zeus stood from his throne while lightening flashed around him.
"Why can't you just send me to earth and I will find the bastard who's hunting him! "
Ares roared with pride as he clutched his golden sword and spear tightly.
"We can't alter his fate, he must find the unknown himself and unravel his destiny, only if he doesn't give in to his hate"
Apollo responded to Ares, silence thickened in the hall as everyone gesticulated.
