Hekate: The Witch (Goddesses of the Underworld #1)

3. Father

Father

was a God of Destruction.

Ancient and unbroken,

stronger than the core of the cosmos.

The most legendary of the Gods.

And this is why the new Gods

wiped out the stories about him.

A story is a powerful thing.

It can lead to another war

or even resurrect the strongest

of all your enemies.

He was a God so formidable

that the Titans knew no one

but he could win them this war.

My mother said she never believed

any different about my father.

She told me he had never lost

a game of dice, let alone a battle.

I was too young to understand this then.

But sometimes we tell ourselves

the most beautiful lies

just to survive the terrible things

that we are living through.
