This is a sequel to When I See You Again. You don't have to read that first, but it'll sure help ;)

Chapter 1: Zeus Has Done it Again

The dark woods were known by the locals to be a place to fear at night. Strange whispering and even stranger animals were often heard when walking in or near the forest. Figures were seen dancing between the trucks. Many even avoided the place in the day, saying it was a place of evil or unnatural spirits. What they didn't know was that it actually was home to a powerful being. For here lived the goddess of magic and crossroads. Here was Hecate's domain.

The goddess paced under Artemis' bright chariot, muttering curses beneath her breath. Her figure twisted and morphed with her mutterings, her three forms making themselves known. Spirits danced outside of the torchlight she carried. There, but only at the edges of your vision. Besides her, a polecat and black dog kept pace at her side, both seeming worried and anxious for their mistress.

"How dare they say such things about me. I am their elder. I am more powerful than they. My magic bends reality itself and yet they treat me with disdain as if I am only a minor goddess and not the titaness I am! Zeus practically called me inferior! And the other Olympians hardly said a word in disagreement. I, who control and spin the Mist, I who provided great aide in the battle against the mother earth. Perhaps I need to remind them just how much they want to be on my good side. I am done with being belittled. What think you Gale and Hecuba?"

The polecat, Gale, let out a hiss and an unfortunate sounding fart. The black labrador, Hecuba, barked. Their mistress paid close attention to their animal noises, nodding as if they had spoken.

"Yes, yes. I agree! Now is the time to remind them of how much they depend on me! How I keep their silly secrets hidden." she paused with her head cocked. Suddenly, her being separated into three shadowy figures. Together, their voices echoed as one. "I see. It seems I am at a crossroads. How fascinating. Three paths, three outcomes."

The smokey goddess/goddesses looked ahead, as if staring into the future. Finally the last, the one on the far right, spoke apart from the rest. "Oh this one will do. I will get the respect I deserve and work with Fate's will. Heroes will be united, alliances strengthened, they will respect and fear me, and new crossroads will be forged. Oh this will do nicely." Her animal servants circled at their feet in anticipation of what was to come. The three formed back into one and looked ahead with her black eyes as if looking at someone who wasn't there physically. "Heed my warning, nothing will be hidden."

Hazel abruptly sat up straight in her bed in the barracks, her covers sliding off. She panted as sweat beaded her brow. Her dream was still fresh on her mind, and she had no doubt that it was real. Those dark and foreboding eyes had seared themselves into her mind. Somewhere, in a dark wood, Lady Hecate had just made a decision that would change the world as they new it. How, she wasn't sure, but the sickening feeling in her got told her that they would soon know.

Thank you for reading the start of my sequel! I'm so excited to continue this series. I have to admit, the popularity of When I See You Again amazed me. Thank you all so much and please comment (it really boosts my confidence). I don't have a regular update schedule, but I'll do my best not to have any long breaks in between updates. Until next time!
