Chapter 110: Don’t worry
His relationship with Athena was good, as for Hermes..
"...Hercules, don't worry. I will seek an explanation from Goddess Athena and Hermes for you," Promise said seriously after a moment of silence.
His words made Hercules puzzled as he did not understand what the latter meant,
Chiron, on the other hand, relaxed his expression,
After all, he understood the weight of Promise's words very well.
Although Chiron never left his place, he had always seen everything his student had done so far.
After all, this centaur sage was technically the half-brother of Zeus and Hera, a true god!
So, from Chiron's perspective, Hera, Athena, and other goddess vying for Promise was like sisters competing with nieces over a student?
"Promise, I'm sorry."
Chiron then apologized sincerely to Promise.
Protecting his student should have been his duty as a teacher, but he could not do it.
"It's alright, teacher. Actually, even without this incident, I would have found Hercules.
After all, not only do I need to seek revenge but I also need his help with my work. Moreover, this is my agreement with the goddesses and the path I chose."
Promise smiled nonchalantly and answered, "I want to become a star admired from the heavens and end my life in the most magnificent way as a great hero!"
Chiron, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but give Promise a light knock on the head upon hearing the word "end."
The path of becoming a hero is about shaping the future through destiny.
This was Promise's chosen path, a vow with the goddesses.
As for Heracles, Promise knew very well the stories of this most famous Greek hero.
From birth, Hercules was persecuted and hated by Hera.
Soon after he was born, Hera let a poisonous snake bite him, but unexpectedly he caught the snake with his bare hands and even played with it.
That was a monster sent by Hera,
Could it be an ordinary poisonous snake?
With such strength, you could say compared to this guy..
No well...Promise was more fragile than Hercules, when the latter was just a baby!
(Promise, with Golden apples + Plot Armor< Baby Hercules)
Well...In the future, Heracles, under Hera's curse, lost his sanity and killed his wife and children with his own hands...
"Speaking of heroes, Promise is already a hero now," Heracles said, recalling how Athena boasted about Promise with pride and admiration.
Before the boy could respond,
"Of course, he's already a great hero. In fact, most people in this era owe him a debt of gratitude," Chiron replied with emotion.
Demeter's future that made the earth barren.
He changed that..
Although now, it was lost in the annals of history, unknown and unnoticed by anyone,
Chiron knew it clearly.
"I see," Heracles, fully trusting his teacher, said to Promise with a cheerful smile. "I always knew it would be this way. I've always believed in you, Promise, believing you would become an even more dazzling hero than me!"
"...Don't be like this, or I'll leave!" Promise responded uncomfortably to such praise, which made the quiet Pegasus neigh twice in a teasing manner.
After all, even on his heroic spirit card, he was an absolutely rare five-star heroic spirit.
"By the way, speaking of heroes, how is Teacher Jason doing now?" Promise suddenly remembered that it had been almost a year since he left Jason.
"There's still about half a year," Chiron answered, pausing slightly before saying, "Actually, it would have been longer, but recently the goddess of wisdom has stepped in to help, so your voyage will start in about half a year."
"Athena... she didn't hide?"
Hearing this, Promise was a bit surprised.
After all, stealing the golden apples have completely enraged Hera.
That is the Queen of Heaven...
But oh well,
Chiron just smiled in response.
She is Athena, after all.
At this moment, Hercules suddenly said, "Speaking of Jason, Meleager and the others have already sent me a message saying they've arrived...
Oh, by the way, they also asked me, if I saw you, Promise, to ask if you know a woman named Io and another named Aegina."
Hearing his words, the boy was taken aback for a moment.
Of course, he knew Io and Aegina.
But what about them?
Chiron, who heard this, suddenly laughed, even somewhat strangely.
"Actually, it's not just them. Now, you also have to add a queen," he laughed. "They're all looking for you, Promise."
"Looking for me?" Promise tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Why are they looking for me?"
"They're looking for you because you stole something from them, and it's the most precious treasure of their lives."
At this moment, fourth voice suddenly spoke.
To everyone's surprise, Hermes, wearing a feathered hat and with a bright smile, pushed the door open and walked in.
He, who should have been hiding until eternity, had reappeared.
After saying goodbye to Promise and Atalanta that day, he had looked for many hiding places but was never satisfied with what he found.
However, while wandering aimlessly in the world, the clever and cunning Hermes finally realized something.
So, he came back.
He came to the side of the person most dangerous in the golden apple affair.
But also the safest person, in front of him!
---
Before leaving, Athena had specifically asked Hermes to convey the oracle, asking Promise to return to Chiron and meet with Hercules.
This was because the goddess of wisdom knew that when Hera learned about the golden apple affair, Promise's side would be the safest place.
Also, due to the path he chose in front of the goddess of fate, Clotho, and his relationship with Hera and Herles, it was undoubtedly the right moment.
However, this safety point didn't apply to Athena; after all, even a rabbit would bite when cornered, let alone Hera.
If she dared to be around Promise now...
According to the legend of ancient Greek mythology, the Argonaut, which was famous throughout ancient Greece, was actually built with the help of Athena.
Thus, having stolen the golden apple, Athena now chose to help, completing what was originally her work, and also showing a little weakness to Hera.
Promise had long wanted to meet Heracles, not for any other reason but because of the numerous legends surrounding him, hoping to gain more experience.
But at the beginning, he was suppressed by Athena.
Because Athena knew very well that since the birth of Hercules, her father, the most powerful god of the time, Zeus, had been secretly watching Hercules for some reason.
So, at that time, Promise was obviously unqualified and..it was too dangerous in every sense.
As for now...
Jason's hometown,
In the Kingdom of Iolcus.
A beautiful goddess, wearing a pure white dress, with her silver hair down to her waist was sitting by the river.
At this moment, her beautiful golden eyes looked up at the sky, in the direction of the holy Mount Olympus.
'My great Father God, how do you view this child?'
'This child, who had repeatedly altered fate, even to the point of changing the fates of the principal gods..'
