English Class. In his free time he likes to paint.
It was a black and stormy night. I was in my office waiting for the call of a secret I should
solve but at that time people and their mysteries never came through the door of my
office. Again, I am looking at the clock, waiting, waiting for the case in the darkness. At
1 2:00 PM I saw a big shadow moving around the office but in a blink of an eye the
shadow disappeared and when I turned my head to see the clock there was a big man.
He was wearing a black shirt and black pants and this guy looks really powerful.
The powerful man looked at me and said with a deep and strong voice: “What is your
name, pathetic human?”
I answered: “My name is Perceus Athen. Who are you?”
“My name is Hades, Hades the God, the God of the underworld and the darkness. I have
something for you.”
“What are you talking about?”
At that moment I tried to reach for my gun but in less than a second time stopped. I
couldn’t move and then Hades walked in front of me, then he stopped and he started to
look at me. Then he said:
“Do you believe me now? I am the powerful God Hades and I have something for you.”
Hades, the God of Darkness took a pause and then he looked at the floor.
“Yes, a present for the Gods from me,” he said as he showed me a small and green book.
“My present is a mystery, a mystery that you will solve, the helm of darkness is lost, it is
my symbol of power and you, Perceus Athen, the demigod, son of Ares will have just 1 2
hours to find my helm.”
With intrigue and fury I said: “Wait a second, you are telling me that my father is a God?”
