The Last Olympiard Chapter One
In a very long time ago, as far as Twenty Thousand years ago, the Gods and the
Titan lives in harmony, there is no War nor Rift, the Gods lives in the Sky,
the Men lived in the Land, and the Titan lives in the Middle of the Earth and
the Sky. The three domain is peaceful, the Gods bless the land with Air and
Rain.
While the land blossom in plenty and grow in Peace, Men worshipped the Gods,
they created temple for every Gods and decided a day to celebrate each Gods,
this make the Gods to be more glad and bless Men the more with whatever they
want. But the Titan are not happy, they envied the Gods, they want to have the
Gods place, they wanted to be the one worshipped by Men. But this is impossible
because they are just bunch of Savages who are brutal and merciless.
Finally War broke out between the Gods and the Titans. Zeus the head Gods lead
the other Gods into battle, it was a fierce battle, and each side have much
casualties, the Titans are Savages and brutal on the battle field, but
the Gods are up to the task, they all combined Powers sent the Titans back.
Finally after a century of siege, the Gods won the battle and return to the
Sky, their Kingdom at Olympus also welcome them too, even Men knew that the
battle is ended, because the Gods finally bless them once again with Rain.
But that is not all, for the Gods are deceived with the war, the Titans had a
motive for the war, they knew they can't defeat the Gods alone, but someone can
defeat the Gods, and he is the War Titan, put to sleep by the Elder Gods
forever only to be awaken by the death of Ten of Thousand Titan.
And this is the motive for the War, after Ten of Thousand Titan is killed in
the battle by the Gods, the War Titan rise from its slumber, with the
Gods regaining back their Powers and unprepared for another war, the War
Titan lead the Titans to another war against the Gods.
Unexpected the whole Gods were killed, yes they fought back, they tried to took
back there land, they fought back for the freedom of Olympus and for Men
prosperity, but they are at weakened state, they are less prepared for another
War, thus they are defeated, and Olympus fall to the hand of the Titans.
But someone survived the War, and that is Goddess of Wisdom and Battle, Athena
the Goddess of Wisdom survived. With his last power before dying, Zeus
teleported her to Earth, and he sent his thunder bolt after her, because they
need the thunder bolt if the Gods must to rise once again.
The War Titan is furious, the Titans are angry, and they killed stab Zeus to
death, the War Titan wanted to follow Athena, but its impossible for them, the
portal is closed and it will open only after a light Year.
"Mom, you are not stopping again." that was Harry challenging her mother
(Mrs Rose), because mid way into reading the Dark ages story to him, she stops
Mrs Rose shake her mouth. "Harry, you need to go to school tomorrow and you
must sleep." Mrs Rose said in defense.
"Mom I love the time of the Gods, I love hearing their tales. Too bad I
can't read nor walk." Harry said screaming.
Mrs Rose stands up abruptly. "We are not doing this again." Mrs Rose said with
her finger up.
"Okay Mom. What happen to Athena?" Harry asks.
Mrs Rose look back at Harry with a sorrowful gaze, she sits back beside Harry
on the bed and pick up the novel, she turns to Harry.
"Fine this once, and no more reading of Dark Ages again." Mrs Rose
said first. "Do we have a deal?"
Harry nod his head smiling, he knows how to make his mother succumb to his
will. Mrs Rose opens the book again and continues to read.
Athena make it to Earth successfully but very wounded, but she managed to crawl
out of the cave and walk to the street, and she got herself treated first from
her wounds. Been very beautiful woman, she quickly blend into the people, and
no one is able to recognized her as a Gods, it's even impossible for a Gods to
live among Men. With Athena beauty, she was able to make living, but till now,
none knew where she is, either dead or alive, but we all know she had a son.
"That is all." Mrs Rose said, he look back at Harry and close the
book.
Harry hiss. "Its not even interesting at all." Harry said, he shake
his mouth to show his contempt.
"You can't say that Honey, there is more to the story than meet the
eyes." Mrs Rose said calmly.
"More you said." Harry protest. Mrs Rose nod her head, and Harry
continues. "If there is more to this kind of a pathetic story, then I will
never hear of it." Harry said finally
Mrs Rose gasp in shock, she turn back and stare at Harry like he just grew
third leg and two heads.
"The Story of Athena is pathetic right." Mrs. Rose said nodding her head.
"Yeah very pathetic." Harry said with contempt. "Moreover in the movie
Percy Jackson, we were told Athena only had a daughter." Harry said finally.
Mrs Rose don't bother to reply Harry again, she only stands up and use the
bedsheets to cover Harry, she then turn away and arrange the books scattered on
the table back on the shelf, she turn back to Harry
"Whatever it is, just sleep very early because you are going to school
tomorrow."
Harry nod his head. "Good night Mom." Harry said and close his eyes, before a
seconds he is in dreamland, Mrs Rose also off the light and also leave the room
behind.
Now that is the Mickelson family, Mrs Rose lost her husband about ten years
ago, then Harry was just seven years then, since then the family feed on what
Mrs Rose made as a waiter, even though she have no husband again, still she is
glad. Harry becomes Mrs Rose only source of joy. Yes Harry was also lame in
both legs, still his mother love him, and cares for him greatly, and one of his
favorite's is that, his mother read the Dark Ages stories to him every night,
and Mrs Rose as well gladly read it every night.
After Harry sense his mother departure, he open his eyes and manage to sit on
the bed, he begins to remember all what happen to him at school. He flashback
to his everyday humiliation at school, its no longer a news for him to be
humiliated, but today humiliation is the height of it.
Actually Harry had no Friend due to his disabilities, moreover he can't even
remember one single thing taught in the class, thus he is like a plague that no
one wants to get acquired with. But a new Girl came to join the class and for
the first time, someone talked to him, someone wished to stick with him.
Chapter Two
Harry is surprise when the New Girl introduce herself to be Sara, and even
wanted to be his friend, for the first time he was so damn happy, but the
happiness was short lived, Lank the school Bully who always picked on Harry
alone, together with his minions took him to the bush side, and give him a
thorough beating of his life.
The day event plays in his memory, and he prays in his mind so as to be able to
walk and live normally like other kids. Harry finally lay down once again and
close his eyes to sleep, before jack he is in dreamland.
Harry opens his eyes first and find himself in an open field, ahead he can sees an Apple tree in front and the leaves are Red in colour. Harry wish to go and pluck from the tree, but then he remembers that he can't walk, Harry is down a
little bit and before he knows it he begins to cry.
Suddenly someone tap him from behind, Harry become startled a bit, but he look
up and see the most beautiful old Woman in the world, her smile is enough to
drive you crazy, her akin are pale white, and a bit of wrinkle are already
showing on her face, the Woman wears a white gown, the Gown is strip from her
waist to the feet side, with the flowing Gown, she wipe Harry tears.
"Why are you crying my child?" She asks in a concern tone.
Harry is taken aback. He frowns first. "Who are you?" Harry ask.
The woman smiles first. "I am Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle."
she replied still smiling.
The introduction cause Harry to be surprise, he gasp out in shock, and
Athena herself continues to smile, she finally sits beside Harry on the open
field
"Many stories are written about you on Earth. Are they all true?"
Harry asks. He remains daze about the revelation yet.
Athena smiles first. "Most are true, and most are just fabrication and
imagination of the writer, the only one right thing is that I am Goddess of
Love and Wisdom."
"Sweet Lord." Harry exclaims first. "But those writers forgot one major
thing, you are not just Goddess of Wisdom alone, you are also Goddess of
Beauty." Harry said. His expression is change totally
Athena keeps smiling. "Its over a ten of thousands year, a man praise my
beauty. " Athena said looking at Harry.
"Is it true you had a Son?" Harry finally ask the throbbing question
bothering his mind all the while.
"Can we walk around and talk my Son?" Athens asks, and she stands on
her feet immediately.
Harry expression change. "I can't walk." Harry said, immediately his head
is down
Athena turn to Harry and hold his hand, he pull Harry up to his feet, suddenly
Harry can hears his bone making sound of connection, he can hears the sound of
his weak bone gaining strength and attaching to one another. Suddenly
electricity begins to charge all around from his legs to the rest of the
body.
Harry is surprised seeing himself standing up without support, he begins to
jump all around the Green Field, he finally run to the Apple tree and find just
two Red Apple on the tree, he pluck them and take a bite from one, he brings
the remaining one for Athena, she also takes it with smiles.
"Thank you my Son, you are indeed the last hope for the Gods." Athena
said calmly.
"But I am surprised." Harry said first and stops jumping all around. "How
am I able to walk?" Harry asks.
"Because you are never born lame my Son." Athena said and stops walking
after Harry. "And Harry my Son it is time, because they are coming, and now
your greatest battle just begun. Don't fail me your Mother, don't fail the
Gods."
Harry is taken aback at what Athena is saying, he stops on his track and turn
to Athena for more explanation on what she mean, but then there is no one
behind him again, Athena is already vanish. Harry wakes up from his sleep and
there is sweat all over his body.
Harry wake up from his sleep, and he is all sweat from head to his toes, he
begin to remember his dream for as long as possible, but he can't begin to
phantom its meaning, he try to sit and support his head with his pillow, his
gaze is just on the door. Then he remembers he can walking his dream, at
first he is glad a little bit, but then his inner self jolt him back and
whisper to him that anything an happen in dream world.
Harry sits back and keeps looking around, his gaze caught something unusual on
the table beside him, the same two red Apple in his dream are on the shelf, and
funny enough, the one which he take a bite from also show exact mark of bitten,

Sara bends to level with Harry. "Harry. Tell me the truth, where did you
get this Apple from?" she asks with a serious expression.
Harry fidget due to nervousness. "Mom bought it for me at the market." Harry
replies. But then his heartbeat rises, he remembers the source of the Apple to
be from the Dream World.
Sara only laughs seeing Harry expression. "I know this Apple like the back of
my hand, it is never breed from around here." Sara said. Her expression
remains serious.
"What do you mean?" Harry asks in weariness. He is fidgeting and sweating
the same time.
"You can only get this breed of Apple from Olympus" Sara said
"Are you referring to where the Gods live in the sky." Harry said. He is
very shock and it shows in his expression.
Sara nods her head " which beg my first question. Where did you get the Apple
from." she ask again
Harry Heartbeat is now very fast than usual, he begins to sweat unusual, in
fact his fears cause him to forget to questions Sara about knowing about the Apple,
he is only concerns about the latest information about the Apple, in fact last
night revelation does not prepares him for this. He looks back at Sara.
"Athena give it to me." He said finally in a shaky tone.
Sara expression change from serious to shock. "You saw Athena." Sara asks.
Harry nod his head. "Where?" Sara asks finally.
"In my dream" Harry replies
Sara does not know why, but she felt that Harry is not ordinary, because it's
impossible to see a Gods, for they are extinct already, according to the story
that circulate around the modern world, the Titans already killed all the Gods.
Sara continues.
"Okay, have you ate the Apple?" Sara asks in a worried tone
Harry nod his head. Sara exclaims very loudly that the whole ground shake,
Harry is afraid seeing Sara angry that much, quickly she held onto her two arms
firmly.
"What happen Sara?. Please talk to me" Harry said in a worried tone.
But there is no answer from Sara, in fact her expression shows more anger, in a
seconds, Harry can sees Sara Eyeball changes to red. Harry is not sure of what
he sees, because everything just happens in a seconds, he frowns and let go of
Sara hand. Finally some seconds later, Sara calm down from his anger.
"Why are you like this?" he asks finally.
"Am like this because, you just ate poison, only the Gods can eat this
breed of Apple and live." Sara said in a calm tone
Harry seems to become afraid, he look at Sara in the eyes with a fearful gaze,
he didn't wish to die. Sara also notice Harry weariness, she smiles to herself,
because this is exactly what she wants to happen, at least for her plan to
work, she had just found the Apple from Olympus, and she will do anything to
take it away from Harry, even it means to kill him.
First Sara calm Harry down, she bend down to his level and loom into his eyes,
Sara begins to sweet talk him.
"Harry look at me, nothing will happen to you while I am your friend. All
you have to do for me is proceed to the class and await me, I will go and find
solution for it" Sara said finally
Harry also look back at Sara, he is so afraid right now that he will trust even
the devil only if he will not die.
"Okay, I believe you." He replies, he is still shaking in a fright and
sweating as well.
