Weird stuff always happens to me. This was a fact, and whatever I was seeing was no less weird.
I was in a breath-taking place.
It was a huge room. And I mean HUGE, like you can fit in our whole apartment complex over a hundred times in the room and still have some wiggle room. Every hue of every color accented the pure white walls, but it wasn't too much. Columns and arches decorated the room, in which there were 12 of the most stunning and strange assortment of thrones I've ever seen.
In the center was a beautiful throne that looked like it was made of espacios and cosmos.[ Space] I could make out planets and stars in the pretty comfy looking throne, on which a tall mujer [woman] with flowing black hair, tan skin, and galaxy eyes looked at me kindly. The next throne on the right was occupied by a fatherly looking guy, who had a throne made of clouds and blue skies. After the sky-guy (Hey that rhymes!) a motherly woman with honey-gold hair, lush green eyes and sunbaked skin offered me a warm smile. Her throne was made of greenery, trees and sweet-smelling and fresh earth that no one could experience now because of the pollution. I offered her a tentative smile back, as I didn't know if I was in trouble or not yet.
A Lady next to her had stone-hard features, but soft eyes of different colors, that reminded me of mountains. Her throne looked similar to her. Next to her were two similar thrones, they seemed to be radiating inner light and shined with the light of a thousand suns, but weren't blinding at all. In fact, they filled me with warmth and lightness, as if I were floating. A man and woman sat there, both with mischievous twinkles in their eyes, with a friendly grin too.
On the left side, a woman with a throne black as night, with constellations and stars dotted across it. Almost as if it were a piece of the night sky itself. The woman who sat upon the throne had a stern and intimidating gaze, but it wasn't unfriendly, nor was it friendly. It simply was. Moving on, I saw a man and woman, who looked like they were linked to the ocean. My instincts told me so, and they had sea-green Mediterranean eyes like me. I smiled at them, recognizing them as sea-gods. They smiled back, almost fondly.
The next person's throne was completely made of water. No, I wasn't kidding. It was literally clear, crystal water, shaped in an intricate pattern. The person sitting on it had a blue color, that my mom called the 'maya blue'. ( You can google it, 'Maya blue' and see it if you want) his eyes danced and moved around, as if it contained water. The next was a completely white throne, on which an old woman sat, ancient eyes holding untold power. Next to her, a man with golden eyes and a long white beard that reminded me of Dumbledore, sat, his throne carved in the shape of a giant and intricate hourglass.
I was awed by the sheer beauty of this place, I could look at it for hours and hours and not have seen enough.
"Welcome, Sofia Jackson to the Primordial Council." The woman in the center spoke, looking kindly at me, a small smile on her face.
How did they know my el titulo? [Name\title] I hadn't introduced myself before this, and Mama told me that- WAIT.
PRIMORDIALS?!
My eyes widened and I stared at them all, not comprehending that I was actually in the presence of PRIMORDIALS. My mind stopped for a moment, then restarted.
All of them chuckled, and I blushed, knowing that I looked hilarious at the time. Holding my hands shyly behind myself, I bit my lower lip, looking up at them at their impressive height.
I knew I should have not focused so much on the blue ice-cream. Look where that got me.
Amusement and fondness glittered in their eyes, as they looked at my small form.
"Daughter of Poseidon, you are destined for greatness. Hence, to aid you in saving the world we have decided to bless you. Will you carry the honor and blessing of the Primordial council?"
Aaaaaand once again, Ladies and Gentlemen, Sofia Jackson is flabbergasted, shocked beyond belief, all in a matter of 30 seconds. The narrator says, as she chuckles. Now back to the story.
But…..I didn't want that much power.
Why do I need it? I'm just a demigod. I didn't have an insatiable desire for power and having more of it would develop power-lust in me over time. But, with the power I could help people and protect my family. I would keep them safe and the power would help me.
I came to a decision.
"My Lords and Ladies, I must respectfully decline all of your blessings." I spoke, firm in my decision.
It was their turn to be shocked at my decision. I internally smirked, and continued.
"But, I will accept three of your blessings." I finished.
The Lady in the middle and the old man in the hour-glass throne chuckled.
"You are very wise and humble, Daughter of Poseidon. I myself, will bless you." The lady in the middle said.
"I will bless her as well." The sea goddess said, looking down at me, smiling.
"I will bestow upon her my blessing as well." The water-man said.
"Thank you, Ladies Chaos and Thalassa, Lord Hydros." I said mischievously, having found out their identities. And to their credit, they only looked mildly surprised. I do my homework well don't I.
She heard someone mutter 'She's a smart one too.' Before the primordials started chanting. It was a smooth language, the words literally flowed through it, but I didn't know what it was.
A ball of black light, ocean-blue light and light blue light floated toward me, and I braced myself.
The balls of light suddenly flew into me, and my eyes flew wide. It hurt, almost as if something was trying to get into me, it was burrowing from my stomach to my heart and it was unbearable.
My forehead was sweating, and I closed my eyes really tight, curling up in a fetal position. I whimpered, I just wanted to stop the pain.
And then slowly, the pain vanished, leaving me somehow energized and healthy. I felt power coursing through me, humming in me, waiting to be used. It felt like a really affectionate cat had decided to live in me.
I stood up, and looked straight in a mirror that just showed up out of nowhere.
I now had the same color of eyes, a middle ocean blue, now flecked with sea-green, dark blue, white, and black. They were mesmerizing to look at and shined with an inner light and power. I was a little taller too, I noted.
I gave them my signature lop-sided smile, making them smile back instantly. My Mama said that my smile was infectious and stuff. I didn't understand what she said, and Mae merely shook her head.
I felt like I was floating away, and I looked down to see that my legs were fading away. Panicked, I looked at the Primordials.
"You are waking up youngling, you were here in a dream." Lady Nyx said, making me relax and let myself go. But before I completely faded away, I gave them a cheery wave and a kiss.
I felt really exhausted, and needed sleep. I would find out about my powers later.
I didn't notice then, but millions of wires were pumping through my body, fighting to keep me alive. I didn't notice the blond-haired man working furiously to keep me from visiting the underworld, the grief-stricken faces of my parents and hermano mayor.
Poseidon was scared.
Scratch that, he was terrified.
So horribly terrified, that he took the broken body of his sweet little girl, hanging onto life by an inch, to Olympus. To Apollo and his immortal child.
"APOLLO!" He screamed, blowing his Palace's doors off and rushing in, Triton and Sally following.
"Yes Uncle?" Apollo peaked out of the infirmary, looking annoyed. Probably because I broke his door….
His eyes fell on the small form I was carrying, how her hands were horribly limp and unmoving. The hands that would never stop fidgeting, never stop moving. The hands that belonged to his lovely Sofia.
Apollo immediately rushed, taking Sofia out of my arms and placing her on the bed. He hooked thousands of machines into her body, which pumped weird liquids into her. She looked so small and innocent, so naive at the time, with wires attached all over her.
"I need to know what exactly happened, and who this is." Apollo ordered, completely serious.
I looked at Triton, who looked so afraid and he was trembling. Poseidon was pretty sure he was too. "She-she was buying blue ice-cream, and she was crossing the road. A stupid truck just-just sent her flying into a builinging an-and she- so many broken bones and-" Triton let out a sob, which made me hug him in comfort.
"She is my daughter. The one destined for the prophecy. Heal her Apollo, please." He whispered, looking at his nephew.
Apollo gave him a firm nod, and steered us out, leaving me, Triton and Sally to wait outside. I held them both close, taking comfort from their presences.
After some time, it could have been hours and hours, or minutes, I didn't care anymore, I left to inform the Olympians of what had occured. They wouldn't dare to harm my littlest guppy.
If she lives.
