Fighting Fate

C H A P T E R 4 - Anastasia.

I was no genius, but then again, I knew that I didn’t have to be one in order to know where it was that all of them had so suddenly disappeared to. They had gone to the realm of the gods. And as much as I would have liked to be there to protect Dilara from all of them, I knew that that was something that wasn’t possible.

The only reason why Dilara was able to go there in the first place, was because she, herself, now classified as a god. That blue blood didn’t make an appearance for no reason. If I had gone with them, I would have died before I had even gotten there. That was something that I was certain of.

The realm of the gods was sacred. It was a place that was inaccessible to those of us who were not worthy, who were not descendants of the gods themselves. We would never be able to go there.

But that was alright.

As much as it worried me to know that there was no one there to protect Dilara, other than Athena and Hades, I chose to believe that she would be alright. The gods had different methods of handling things, and I could only hope that they would be able to handle this one fairly, and without biases’. If they didn’t, then there would be no hope for Dilara…

But I told myself that I did not need to be worried about this right now.

My eyes dropped down to the heart that I was cradling against my chest, the heart that belonged to Cerberus. It was ice cold to the touch, the blood that surrounded it becoming sticky and dry at the same time. I knew that I only had a small window of time to fix all of this.

And as much as I would have wanted to make sure that Hades was here to help me with all of this, I knew that he wouldn’t be coming back here any time soon. There were other matters that would keep them occupied for a really long time.

So, it would be up to me to reincarnate Cerberus. And as much as I had done this before, it felt like this time mattered so much more. Before, we had always had so much more than just his heart. But now, it was all that we had…

And it would have to work…
