Fifteen years later he had finished his training. For his twenty-first birthday he received gifts to help him with bringing the lower Earths closer to Heaven. Through Artemis’ design and Hephaestus’ skill, a shield was made to just fit him; a pair of short swords, gauntlets and body armor with Hephaestus’ insignia on the chest accompanied the other gift. Hades allowed him to bathe in the river Styx to give him extra protection from harm. Zeus gave him a small dagger whose blade was one of his own small lightning bolts. With one slice it allowed him to jump through a portal and get to the other worlds. Athena made Eraytu an amazing set of clothing of the finest fabric. The gift included a pair of loose pants, shirt, steel-toed boots, a leather jacket and a dark brown cloak. The cloak could cover his entire body and help hide him in the shadows when needed. After he had equipped himself with all of his new gifts he knelt before his teachers for a final talk before he would leave to the first planet.
“Eraytu, you know we have been training you for a reason. There is a prophecy that a group of five great warriors would band together to defeat the evil on every planet; by doing so the planet would come closer to our own making it more pure and holy. You are the only one of the group that knows of your destiny, so you must bring the others together. Now go and do what you are destined to do.”
“I will with the gods guiding my path.” The young warrior replies; standing and pulling out his new dagger. Unsheathing it, he made a long slash in front of him to create a portal leading to the first planet and jumped through.
“Zeus,” asked Hera, “do you think that we sent him through to early”
Zeus looked down at her; a tear was forming in her eye. “I don’t know. All we can do now is hope he will do what’s right.
