SELENA BOWED HER head and cried. No one condemned her for it, not even the Cetea Clan, who must have Seen the same visions we did, for they were looking at Selena as if she carried the plague.

I watched, torn. I didn’t want to risk Ares attacking Liam again, but seeing Selena—Cassandra—broken like that, reliving the worst moments of her life, an immortal life…

I’d barely stomached it. The Rage within me was just as unsettled.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I spit the words out like the poison they were.

Apollo and Ares turned to me, and I knew I was on thin ice. But after what I’d just Seen, I wasn’t in the mood to be humble and meek.

“What is the point of showing all of us? Torturing an innocent woman isn’t enough?”

Apollo growled. “She is far from innocent.”

My anger rode right over his words. “You want to use us to break the spell and find the Eye of Cronus? What good is that possibly going to do you? You’re both insane if you think Zeus will let you wake the Titans, especially Cronus.”

“They couldn’t do it anyway,” Liam said, and I was glad to hear his voice. “The Trinity Weapons will be with their owners.” I could hear his grin. “If want to fight Zeus, I’ll pay to watch him beat you both into red paste.”

Liam grunted in pain when Ares’s aura hit him. He gritted his teeth, and sweat poured out of him in buckets, but he didn’t scream or beg forgiveness. The magic relented, and my brother collapsed to the floor, gasping for breath.

“You humans are truly fools,” Apollo said. “Do you think we have been idle? I have Seen every possible outcome that will lead to the Prophecy. Believe me when I say that everything is unfolding exactly the way it ought to be.”

Apollo strode closer to me. His eyes cut to the center of the cavern, and he nodded to Alexi.

The Cetea sliced open Thea’s wrists with the icy dagger.

“No!” Liam screamed then yelped when burning magic struck him again.

Alexi stood up and backed away. Kallis frowned at his son, obviously wishing he would have murdered Thea where she lay. But Alexi must have had lingering feelings for his ex.

I tried to focus on that one positive outcome, but Apollo was getting too near to me.

“The heirs will bleed into the runes laid centuries ago by Cassandra. Once enough blood is spilled, the Eye will reveal itself. And you, Derek Areios, shall take it.”

I almost laughed. “It’ll kill me.”

“Not if you use your magic,” Ares said.

I turned to my forefather. He wasn’t talking about my fire.

Aether… could aether hold on to the Eye? How much power would it take? Would I be able to hold it long enough to bring it to Zeus and the other gods?

Ares’s hand clamped on my shoulder. He dug his fingers in, bruising the muscle.

“This is your purpose, my son. Once you obtain the Eye for us, we shall take the Mind and the Sickle.
