A few hours before...

Two hours before the announcement in the canteen, director Kronos had decided to send the video of the simulation to the entire military leadership, under the title "the new promise of the Trojan officer academy."

It was a pride that his academy produced such promising cadets, and it was important for the development of their military careers to expose them to the great leaders of the Navy so that they would fall under the umbrella of the powerful.

A well-fed career from the beginning was the key to success, skill, capacity or merit was only one of the ingredients in the equation, but without contacts the process became long and slow, wasting the talent of many officers in the intermediate ranges.

Zeus received and watched the video of the simulation with amazement. That cadet had really played a great role in a simulation that was impossible to win; he liked that there were young promises, and he still had a few days before leaving again with his ship heading to the system. Star of Igstar, what better than to try to entertain a new future officer and bring him to his political side before he fell into the clutches of any other crow with stripes?

He took the communicator from him and ordered the call to Director Kronos.

"I am glad to greet you Grand Admiral Zeus, how can this humble director be of help to you?"

In Kronos's voice and tone, there was a certain resentment towards his successor at the head of the Hellenic army.

"I am also happy to greet you Admiral Kronos, I have just watched the video of the simulation at the academy, we really have before us a possible genius and future officer, since I have a few days left before leaving again I thought I would stop by to meet him"

"No problem Grand Admiral, it will be an honor to receive you at the academy and organize a meeting with the cadet, I'm sure he will be grateful for such an honor..."

Zeus was reviewing the different commitments that he had in the coming days to find the right slot, normally these things were prepared a couple of days in advance, and they usually entailed some kind of honor or gift from the great admiral.

"By the way, what is the name of that potential future Admiral?"

"His name is Eneas, Eneas Dardanus, the son of Anchises Dardanus, the hero of Tartarus, you surely remember him, he served under his command..."

The cup that Zeus had in his hand fell from his hand, breaking into a thousand pieces...

"Director Kronos, this is as good a time as any; make sure the cadet is ready for my visit and is in the facility."

Zeus couldn't believe who that boy was, his grandson, he had lost all trace of his daughter more than twenty years ago... That pain, that wound, never closed; if only things had turned out at that moment as he wanted, he would have been able to enjoy his grandson, prepare him, give him his last name with all its weight, and not that shitty last name that no one would recognize. The Olympians were a power in themselves as a military family in the Hellenic navy.

Grand Admiral Zeus pressed a button on his desk

"Colonel Hermes, prepare my transport, we are leaving right now for the military academy of Troy."

"At your command, my admiral"

The lieutenant was taken by surprise. Why would the Grand Admiral go to the Troy Academy? Wait, Aphrodite's son was there; he had to warn her. That boy was in danger; the biggest shark in the navy was attacking him. On.

He rifled through his contacts as he prepared the device for the Grand Admiral's fast travel. He finally found contact with Venus; she used to inform him from time to time of the movements and things of the great admiral Zeus, and she told him things about her life. They had been friends since ancient times, and she remained loyal to him, even though he was at that time the grand admiral's personal assistant.

"Venus: warn your son, the shark has smelled the prey, so be careful"

Hermes had been doing this job long enough to know that the Grand Admiral's reaction was not a normal reaction.

As the device and escorts prepared to travel from Elysium to Troy, the great Admiral Zeus was also attempting to communicate with his wife.

"Man, if my husband deigns to call me, what is it this time? A gala dinner for which you will bring me out of my oblivion, an event? Or are you going to tell me that your departure to space is early and you are no longer going?" to even stop by the house...?"

"Shut up, old witch, with that character, are you surprised that I don't want to be with you? This is more important, I have located our grandson, his name is Eneas, the son of Aphrodite and that soldier who died..."

"But, then we can finally locate Aphrodite... Do whatever it takes, but don't scare or intimidate the boy... We don't know if he knows that you are his grandfather... Or everything that happened in the past... Try to bring him to our side, but with tact, Zeus, I know you..."

"I'll do what I can, Hera, I promise..."

Zeus cut off the call and headed to the large hangar, where four escort fighters and his transport ship were already waiting for him. It would take less than an hour to reach Troy using the channel and military authorization for fast flight.

How would the boy react when he saw him? Deep down he was nervous; he knew that he had done many reprehensible things, but deep down he was excited to meet his grandchildren, and even more so if he was a military genius that he was showing his genetic legacy in such a way. Ostensible

An hour later, the delegation landed next to the blue pavilion of the academy. Many cadets looked out to see the arrival of Commander Zeus. Rumors flew quickly among the cadets.

When Director Kronos came out to meet him, Grand Admiral Zeus told him directly.

"Take me to Cadet Eneas, I want to have a talk alone with him, then gather the rest of the cadets in the assembly hall, I'm sure a few general words of encouragement will be good for their careers.

"Follow me, I'm waiting for you in my office."
