Little Lex was just a boy of 13. But he didn't look it. He was way too big for his age, and acted accordingly.
His mother was a busy woman. She was always travelling. Leaving Lex alone in the house with enough money to take care of his little needs. Lex was never bothered but he was a social outcast. An introvert.
It was during that moment he discovered his father's journals.
He was on the verge of commiting suicide, as he was about to kick the chair that held his weight, something called him. It whispered to his little ears. Soft and comforting, it called Lex.
Lex followed this voice, it seem to come from his late's dad's room. The room his mother warned that he should never enter. As he turned the handle, nothing happened. It was locked.
Lex took a deep breathe, and shouldered the weak door off its hinges. The soothing voice can be heard louder now.
It's coming from the bed-drawer.
Lex went to the drawer beside his dad's bed. Covered in dust, he pulled the handle.
Huh? Lex was perplexed, a book?
Lex drew the drawer compartment out completely.
Books.
He picked one of them.
THE DAVINCI CODE.
He skimmed through, his eyes twinkled at this new found discovery.
Books.
He picked another.
THE GREEK MYTHOLOGY.
Lex's senses were tingling. Hurriedly, he picked up five books, replaced the drawer compartment and went to his room.
If mum asks what happened to the door, I'd tell her it was burglars.

THE BRINGER OF LIGHT.
Outside, the earth was dark. But the sounds of the awaken could be heard. Telling the world that a new day was born.
Lex still isn't seeing the connection. He has finally deciphered the message on the wall, but he saw no connection.
HADES - KING OF THE UNDERWORLD.
BRINGER OF LIGHT - LUCIFER.
THREE-HEADED DOG - HADES' PET.
This was what Lex wrote on paper. His head ached. He wanted to know the link between these three things.
Sure, the three-headed dog is Hades' pet. He had forgotten the pet's name. The bringer of light, lucifer. That's the meaning of the name, Lucifer.
But what has all this got to do with the Ayodeles?! Lex became dizzy.
He walked backwards, collapsing into the nearest couche. His shirt damp. His palm was sweaty. He closed his eyes to think.
The bringer of light.. Bringer of light... Hades.. Underworld...
ILLUMINATI.
With a jolt, Lex got up. Seeing a light in the tunnel, he dailed Bob's number.
He picked immidiately.
"Hello?"
"Bob? I want everything you can get on Godwin Ayodele— everything. Ask questions, search his Facebook page, Instagram, anything! I want to get everything on him. His net-worth. Including the primary school he attended. Get me every single thing. Send it to me via my WhatsApp."
"You got it"
The line went dead.
* * *
Ten blocks away from the Ayodele's home, Y hid behind the bush, watching the police men undercover, pretending to be civilians.
Very smart. But I can see you all.
Y checked his watch. 3:05AM. Who stays out this late except the bureau? They want to be the FBI so bad. Who came up with this dumb I dear anyways?
Y didn't care. He brought his left wrist to view. The time showed, he swiped the screen, it showed a homescreen. Like a smartphone. But this time, it's a smartwatch.
He dailed the number: 666.
It rang.
A mechanical voice answered.
"What is the password?"
Lex whispered. "STRAGES."
The mechanical voice replied.
"Granted. The wise one shall be with you shortly."
Y waited for a moment. And he was put through.
"Speak. My child."
"It is done, Master."
"I know. I've seen the wall."
"But how did you-"
Y registered. "OH"
"You still have doubts about my powers my child. Haha! I am god. I will heal all sicknesses. And these puny demi-gods known as politicians shall all be wiped out. They have eaten-up the earth for their own personal vandetas, making these people suffer. I will bring a new order."
As the voice said all this, A chill enveloped Y.
"My lord, you are worthy!" Y worshipped. And then he continued.
"But my lord there seems to be a problem."
"What is the problem."
Y looked towards the Ayodele's mansion, and then to the car packed three blocks from it, carrying a government plate number.
"There seems to be someone in the house."
"I know, he's the reason I sent you there"

The Sons of Hades Reality
Water trickling, dust absorbing the wind, and forming an image, though white as snow, faceless and void, sitting on edge of Existence, the image turned into Lex.He was clad in white, neat, groomed, and shaven. A voice made his ears twitch and his eyelids part. He woke up searching for the voice, when he got up, he staggered. His balance regained, he went in search of the voice. He got to an end and found out the voice called from the opposite direction of the white environment. There seems to be no exit.Is this an Asylum? He asked himself.Lexington.He searched for the voice. Nowhere.Lexington, why do you ignore my call?Huh? The next thing was a transition, with a much clearer voice. It called on to him like a missing child whose mother called out to them.“Lex?” A voice in the back
The Sons of Hades Danger
The car came to a stop in front of the big gate and Lexington came out, carrying grocery bags with "Hallmark" written on them. He hummed a tune as he opened the small gate with one hand. He was on Nike shorts, shirt, cap, and air max. Funke had called him in the middle of a workout to get some food items for dinner which he had rushed to get. He took every chance he could get to look at her.He entered their little yet airy compound that had an overview of the whole area from the upstairs balcony. He took slow strides, allowing the post-workout blaze kick in, when his ears picked up a rustling coming from the bush nearby.He stopped in his tracks, and turned owl-like, to the direction of the noise.Something was definitely there!The groceries fell to the ground. Lex stealthily moved closer to the well gardened bush and as he got closer, a huge frame stood, towering over him.The
The Sons of Hades Intelligent Man
Inside the mildly cold office, Bob was having Hollandia. His phone’s ring annoyed him. He hated interruptions while he ate. This was the only time he was free of worry, his only leisure moment. He picked the receiver and spoke.“Who's this?”“Bob? Is that you?” Sobbing in the background, familiar voice. “I need your help!”Bob was about to ask who this was, he held himself. The police man in him figured out that it's going to be hard to keep her holding on the line for long unless you hold the conversation. If actually, she's in some deadly situation.“Calm down. Where are you?” Bob's gentle voice settled calm on Olamide's quivering shoulders. She demanded that Bob bring an ambulance.“My friend, he's been injured pretty badly. I think he might not make it.” She told the detective, with an airily fain
The Sons of Hades Adrenaline
Inside the dark, a flickering sound and then, light. It was a long silent path way with water dripping from a distance. The walls on both sides appeared to be enclosing on Lex's with every stride behind Gbenga who had resorted to not saying a word after the little heat in the car.He tailed Gbenga until they got to a door. Gbenga unlocked it with a singular key he had brought from his pocket. Lex wondered what was beyond the door. A circle of transmutation? A line of members clad in black cloaks, holding propped candles, cups of blood? Or torture materials. His thoughts faded when he stepped into the warm, well furnished room. A whiff of puzzlement, Lex demanded where this was.Gbenga slipped his hands into his pockets. “Here, have your seat.”“Where is he?” Lex crinkled in suspicion, sensing a gleam of deviltry in Gbenga's face and voice.He lapsed into fight-back mo

The next day, Lex and Byron were getting into the car when Lex’s phone vibrated in his pocket. He picked.“Speak.”“Hello, Lexington. It has been a while.”Lex stole a glance from Byron.“I’m sorry; who’s this?”“You have forgotten my voice so soon?”How could I possibly. Fucking psychopath.“I’m sorry, I don’t think I remember,” Lex feigned ignorance.There was a long pause over the line.“Very well then, it’s god.”“It took you a while to place a call to me.” Byron eyed Lex across the stirring.“It is all for the greater good, friend. We want to see you soon; your initiation date has been set. I will send Gbenga to get yo
