The Diviner's Legacy: Genesis

Athena from a young age has lived in her own little bubble, protected by her parents and left to her own devices, unaware of the weight of her destiny, her parents doing all they can to protect her and avoid the disasters supposedly to come. Despite all precautions, their worst fears are realized when they are assassinated. In their wake secrets are revealed and the danger they did their best to prevent become terrifyingly clear. As rumors about their mother goddess being angry with their world and whispers of a long-time grudge grows into fruition, Athena realizes a shocking truth-- her parents, both a seer and a diviner, were not only powerful but were also important to maintaining the fragile peace that held back an impending apocalypse. With Atherena, on the brink of destruction, Athena must accept her destiny and navigate a path of betrayal and self-discovery to find out the reason for the apocalypse and how to stop it. umm first-time novel writer here, also English is not my first language, and this story hasn't been planned, it basically an inspiration I had while preparing for bed after reading an apocalyptic novel

Micah?

"Micah is a diviner, and he works for the government" Raven explained

"Ohh that's why" Damien had a look of realization on his face.

"He works for the government so we ain't sure that he'll rat us out to those in higher power and then we have to consider Athena, we don't even know what's going on with her" Evans said with a look of conflict.

Hearing this, all three of them fell into silence, before Raven spoke up

"I don't know if we can trust Micah, but Athena's dad said to pass a letter to him, it's in my bag but after that he didn't mention anything else" 

"We haven't seen him since the last thirteen or fourteen years, so how do we pass the letter to him then?" Raven said tiredly. 

"What about if I just use my powers in her?" Raven asked.

"No, I don't really think you should, you know we don't really know what the issue with her is as of right now, let's try finding this Micah guy eh?" Damien answered after giving it some thoughts.

" Besides y'all don't even know where he is" Damien continued while raking his hair. 

"I have an inkling to where he might be, not just sure but still we should check, if he isn't there, we won't be losing anything" Evans said. They thought about it for a while before agreeing to it, raven walked towards Athena and lifted her up into his arms while also carrying her bag that she brought along. Evans glanced at the bag then brought out three different black bags and passed one each to both Raven and Damien. 

They walked out of the underground basement but didn't go up to the church, instead they used a hidden passage to go to the premises of the church. When they got there Evans glanced around to make sure no one was present then he tapped Raven. Raven brought out a black jeep from the space ring Athena's father had given him and they all got in the jeep. After settling Athena down on the back seat, Raven got in the jeep and sat next to where Athena laid, putting her head on his lap while Evans and Damien got in the front seat. Passing through the trails in the woods surrounding the back of the church, they were able to leave and not meet zombies just yet. 

The car ride was silent, Damien especially was silent ever since the ride started, just when he was about to speak up, the car stopped, and Evans got out not before telling the others in the car to stay put. Evans walked towards the cabin in the middle of nowhere, behind the cabin was a stream and a shack, he walked up to the front door and knocked before waiting a while, seeing no one answered, he pushed open the door and walked in, glancing at the house that looked like it has been ransacked he walked towards the coat hanger and flipped it over, on the bottom part was a compartment and a paper was in it, he took it out, put it in his pocket and then walked to the bedroom upstairs, it was in similar condition as the room downstairs, on the wall there was a graffiti writing "40NO12" and beneath it was a small symbol which he recognized. 

Walking back to the car, Evans got into the car and noticed that Raven had fallen asleep too, not paying much mind to it he started the car and drove away from the cabin house, Damien watched the cabin house get further away from view through the rear view mirror, glancing at Evans and making sure Raven was still asleep, he spoke up. 

"I noticed that you both and Athena wear the same ring, while Raven has a different type and guessing it's the source of you guys being able to conjure up stuff? Why don't I have one if Athena's dad knew I'd be with you guys?" 

"I don't know either, he mentioned he gave us because he felt the urge and need to give us, that's all"

Damien was silent for a while before he fished out a letter from his hoodie pocket, then passed it to him. 

Evans took it and read the content of the letter; his face contorted from passive to rage in an instant. 

"Athena's dad probably didn't give you one because he's wary of the people in your family, and also because he could not, you'll understand later, not now and also you should burn the letter, it won't do you well if you misplaced it" Evans spoke before he started the jeep and started driving. 

It was in the midnight and Damien was behind the wheels while Evans rested at the passenger seat. 

"I'm guessing you didn't find him, any clues he might have left behind?" Raven asked with a sleepy voice. 

"Yes, he left a paper and there was a code on the wall, I tried reading the paper, but it needs to be decoded, let's go to the safe house first then we'll sort this out". 

Raven fished into his bag and passed Damien a map to get to the safe house while also following safe routes. 

Athena had been asleep for four days now, she looked calm on surface, but she was in turmoil in her subconscious; in her subconscious she was reliving memories all over and over again, but the strangest thing was while her subconscious was in chaos, she herself was tranquil, she was at peace, just sitting cross-legged and watching everything.

The memories was one that she was not aware of that she had and it was also foggy, it was not a clear memory, there were six figures, gender not known, and there were in a field like area and they sky was blue and clear, it looked like they were having fun one second but the next second they were not, the field like area turned barren and the sky turned blood red with a moon and an eye at opposite directions in the sky, both were red, the feeling of doom could be felt but Athena didn't move in inch, she felt like a calm lake frozen waiting for a disturbance from the environment, she had been that way ever since the seal on her were broken. In the outside world, Raven placed his hands over Athena's head and his healing powers leaked out unconsciously meanwhile in Athena subconscious it was like the disturbance had happened and the once previous calm Athena felt the disturbance breaking her tranquility, if anyone had been watching her face closely in the outside world they would notice that, her eyelids had been fluttering and there were tears at the corner of her eyes unfortunately Raven had passed out from exhaustion. 

Twelve hours later, Damien made it to the safehouse, they decided to scout the surrounding area for any anomaly, it was a good opportunity to train their powers, Damien parked the jeep and walked out of it with Evans leaving only Raven with Athena to protect her.
