  The Outskirts of Hephaestus, Japan, Inside a Revolution Hideout

  Veronica Shinka's Point of View

  To April & May

  They think they’re safe, invincible, untouchable, and view themselves as gods. The Eight Kingdoms want a revolution; however, Azrael prevents such a wish. Thus, we will be the spark for that Revolution. Our goal is to forge a New World, one free of the Royals. A New world cleansed free of its past sins.

  Their biggest weakness is their arrogance. They watched me return to Olympus and spared me out of pity, mistakenly believing that I would stop my war because of Rion’s eradication. Rion’s destruction was my fault; however, not even Azrael can stop me. Nothing can stop me, for this war has but one outcome.

  Everything I do, I do for you two, Luke, Zoe, your father, and Olympus. I will do anything to ensure a sinless future for the ones I love.

  I promise, and I always keep my promises. I will kill every last fucking Royal for what they did to humanity. They will know what it’s like to suffer in the same way we all suffer as I am the only one who’s capable of bringing them down to earth!

  They think they’ve seen all that I’m capable of, but they haven’t seen anything yet.

  May you two forgive me for what I’m about to do.

  Love,

  Mom.
