Olympus
Harry slowly opened his eyes only to hiss and close them quickly due to the bright light that assaulted them. He heard a musical chuckle beside him and the voice said,
"Sorry about that my temple is always set to 12 midday. Let me just dim the room a bit for you."
When Harry opened his eyes again he saw that room was noticably dimmer, he breathed a sigh and tried to take in the room he was in. The room was like a hospital room got painted gold and white. There were beds of varying sizes, some were human sized others were half that and then others were 100x human sized.
At the end of Harry's bed stood the surfer and the mailman from the throne room, however there were some differences that he noted such as surfer having a lab coat on with a clipboard with a golden Omega symbol. The mailman now had a phone with with snakes looking inquisitively at him. They were silently hissing to each other so Harry couldn't hear what the were saying properly but he heard something like be Brazil and zoo and came to the conclusion that they were speaking about the zoo incident with the andaconda.
The surfer cleared his throat and even that sounded musical and said,
"Seeing as you fainted before everything could be explained to you I'll fill you in with everything again."
At this Harry only nodded, and the surfer continued,
"As was said you are now to be referred Harken the God of the Lost, Patron of Orphans and Guardian of Hope. You are given ten years to find a permanent way to become immortal nor your soul will be torn asunder by the power you hold. You have basic package of being a God such as enhanced physique and mental capacity and function. You have the power to teleport to anywhere you have been or anywhere that is in your domain. You have a sacred animal which is a rune covered stag with lilies growing from his antlers. You are to have a sacred weapon and symbol, that can be decided later. Your office here should be finished later so we can stop by. As a God you can accept offerings from mortals. Offerings provide you with extra blessings. Your allowance per week is 200 blessings and 100 drachmas. You will given a Godscope later which can play the role of a phone, computer list" here he lifted up the clipboard that shifted to a phone then back to a clipboard and continued" the Godscope will be implanted directly into your soul so you can't lose it. Gods will often give out tasks with blessings as rewards such as dealing with pests or problems that pop up and are running amok of the God's domain. You currently don't have full God form as you aren't fully immortal yet. A full immortal's God form will kill any mortal that sees it your's will at most blind them or drive them in a coma so be careful in where you're appearing or leaving of the people who might see you. Now I'm going to check if everything is sorted with your powers since it began stabilizing once you woke up. "
As Harry's head was spinning with the information he realized that all though it was a lot he could remember it clearly like he's been hearing it since that day he was born. The surfer then waved his hand that glowed a warm gold over Harry's body and the clipboard's symbol glowed a corresponding gold. While that was happening Harry opened his mouth and asked,
" That's good and all but pardon my language who the body hell are you two!? Where the hell am I and why did you pick me!?"
The mail man and surfer blinked and simultaneously facepalmed and the surfer muttered,
" Knew we forgot something. Well I'm Apollo God of the Sun, Archery, Arts and Healers etc. His name is Hermes God of Travellers, Thieves, Messengers and some other stuff so you can stop referring to us as surfer and mailman." Then they both burst out laughing at Harry's poleaxed and red expression and face respectfully.
" Any way any injuries you have you can come by Apollo's temple and somebody will take care of it. And any packages or messages you need delivered I'm the guy. Speaking of that I got an alert that a replica of Athena's shield was lost somewhere in New York can you help with that?"
Harry was confused and voiced that with a,
" I don't know New York Mr Hermes so I don't thin- It was stolen by a hellhound and is currently travelling west."
After that Harry blinked out of the slight trance he was in only to see Hermes and Apollo sharing a smirk.
" Wha what was that?"
" That my dear young friend was you tapping into the Ayour Godly domain for the first time. An item was lost and you knew exactly where it was."
" Will this happen every time someone asks me where something the lost is?"
" No it only happened because Apollo channeled a bit of godly energy into you and you absorbed it and activated your domain. But for you to control this we need you be outfitted with a Godscope. It will help you control the output of your power or to conserve it of need be and also it works like phone and anything else handheld you need it to be."
" And where Mr Hermes" " Just Hermes" " would we go to get a Godscope for me?"
" Well" Apollo interjected" we can do it here. You already have your Epithet Tablet. Which is the stone thing under your pillow." Apollo answered before Harry could ask.
As Harry felt under his pillow he felt a smooth object which when he took out he saw was the black stone tablet that fell into his hands when he was in the throne room.
As he held it in his hands he saw his name and some other lines of script under it written gold with a golden Omega symbol at the top.
On the tablet read
Harken James Potter
Minor God of the Lost
Patron of Orphans
Guardian of Hope
These were bugging Harry since he heard them the first time and he asked what it meant Apollo answered,
"Well an Epithet is like a achievement given to a mortal when they teach or they are a doctor. My Epithet is Phoebus Apollo, Slayer of the Mighty Phyton, which is something I got millennia ago. Your's means that as a patron you can hear the direct prayers of those you are given charge of, you also have almost supreme authority on the lands that fall under your patronage. As a Guardian you have a utmost duty to inspire Hope in mortals no matter how dore the situation. Anyway let's install the Godscope this will only pinch a bit."
Long story short it hurt like bloody knife stab but the pain went away fairly quickly. Harry asked why the couldn't have done that when he was unconscious they said that two reasons,
1) he needed to be in a state of healing so that it supplements a god's natural healing further and
2) he needed to be awake so that he didn't fall into a century long unbreakable sleep because the Godscope would think that was your natural state of awareness and only after the Godscope is a century old then can it be reasoned with. Apollo explained that's what happened to Hypnos the God of Sleep. His was implanted when he was sleeping and that's how he's almost always sleeping uncontrollably because he can't control when he sleeps.
Apollo also said that his domain of the Lost does not only limit him to objects but people, souls, locations basically anything that a majority of people can't find or a personal item for a single person. He also warned that I should be careful with whose prayers I answered and not to reintroduce things dangerous to mortal lives such as the bubonic plague or the black plague seeing as they technically fall under things Lost.
Apollo then led from the healing rooms through an almost solid gold corridors. When we reached outside I saw the that we just exited a temple that would make Buckingham Palace look like a old outhouse, and the amazing thing there were numerous more on this street not even mentioning those in the distance. The streets had gorgeous cobblestone and there were people selling normal to exotic wares such as : solid gold toothbrushes and hairbrushes, swords, bows and arrows and even a two ton warhammer. They also sold mundane items such as clothes, shoes, CDs, books and even action figures.
Apollo then said that the were going the Offices of Minor Gods. Which was apparently near the gates of Olympus as Harry asked how they were going to reach there Apollo explained,
"Olympus works off a different space time than the mortal realm and distance between point A and B can be folded naturally if you are a God or in the presence of one. My Sister's Hunters have that skill practically downloaded onto their being when they take their vow of maidenhood."
Harry nodded as his enhanced mental function devoured and dissected that information. Harry also saw that they were so far from Apollo's temple it looked like a small house when they were just walking just a few short steps. Another few steps and they were outside a fairly bland building that paled beside the smaller yet majestic temple beside it. As Harry looked at the building that holds his office he felt different energies practically pulsating off the walls. As they approached the doors they opened on silent hinges and they saw a pretty lady with blue hair, skin and eyes ( air spirit) at a long desk, when she looked up her eyes were automatically drawn to the two Major gods with Harry and she bowed and said in a slightly quivering voice,
"How may I help you today my lords?"
Apollo answered,"Show us the office of Harken God of the Lost?" In a slightly bored tone and the lady which Harry was mentally reminded by the Godscope to be a air spirit. Harry also saw a name tag that simply read Sandy.
As they walked to the doorway on the right they saw that were in a long corridor with dark wood floors and doors with with glass windows with different names and names such as Alastor God of Justice, Retribution and Blood Feuds, Aristaeus God of Animal Husbandry and Fruit trees, Attis Minor God of Vegetation and Rebirth. They passed other names but Harry just looked were the were going and they were heading to an to an Office with a blank window on the door.
When they reached the door Harry was instructed to grab the door handle and let the door do the rest. Harry did as expected and the door glowed white then settled to an emerald green and the harry saw his name and titles printed in Old English on the window. As Harry pushed the door in he saw that office was larger than the entirety of No. 4 Privet Drive.
Opposite the door stood a floor to ceiling window infront of a large desk with some folders glowing white placed on the right side. There was a wooden throne behind the table. There was a bookcase on the side with some of the shelves already filled. There was a comfortable sitting area with a wrap around couch and two recliners with a table that had a golden remote on it. There was a massive tv on the side facing the sitting area with an Omega symbol at the bottom.
Hermes then told Harry to sit in the wooden throne to get his prayers sent to his Godscope. Hermes also explained that answering prayers grants 2 blessings if the prayer did not mention him and 10 blessings if it was directly sent to him. Every devout follower grants 20 blessings and sacrifices grants anything of value that was sacrificed and 50 blessings.
Apollo and Hermes also explained that he can bless something with his domain or curse something or someone but he shouldn't do it often or it messes with natural order.
Harry nodded somehow absorbing everything and retaining it, the he cautiously sat in the throne and he grew until he looked around 17 and heard like a person was right beside him,
" Oh God don't tell me I lost my wallet."
As Harry looked at the two elder Gods I'm the room and absently noted that Sandy was gone, Hermes just said,
" Do whatever feels natural to you to call up your power."
Harry nodded then hesitantly snapped his fingers and heard a small ding and a gentle voice whisper
2 blessings received
Total 202 blessings
And Harry breathed a sigh of relief as he didn't feel any different than a minute ago.
They then showed Harry how to open FateShop and they saw what was available to purchase which was:
Smite v.1 (one person, lightening only, three strikes daily.) 50 blessings
Lesser Healing (self only) 50 blessings
Dream Weaver 200 blessings
Food Creation (based on memory) 500 blessings.
Animal Subordinates v.1 (small animals only) 100 blessings
Multibody Awareness v.1 (3 bodies created) 50 blessings
Harry was amazed that he could do any of these things. After careful consideration and asking Apollo and Hermes about the different powers Harry bought Smite because if he answered prayers for retribution he makes 3 blessings and bonus the smiting doesn't kill unless Harry wants it to, Animal Subordinates can help with retrieval and the guiding of any souls or bodies that are lost and Multibody Awareness because he's going to need to be in more places than one sometimes and with this he now what happened because it's basically a recording device with his shape and personality made by magic.
So Harry with only 2 blessings, felt satisfied with what he bought.
As Apollo and Hermes were leaving after showing Harry how to teleport and change his size and telling him to look out for one of their messages in the coming day they felt that they were forgetting something important not realizing the Fates were limiting their memory so that Harry goes through what he needs to go through. As they left Harry called around 50 birds although crows, ravens and owls weirdly came. Harry then sent them out across the US to help lost people or to collect the lost souls that are running around he felt that those needed taking care of firstly.
As Harry laid back in his throne he called up his Epithet Tablet from his soul room were all things are kept when a God isn't using it and the tablet floated above his palm and Harry contemplated what he was going to do to prevent his soul torn up painfully in ten years.
Ok so I'm currently writing on my tablet and that isn't giving me a proper area to write accurately I was wondering of someone would donate a small amount to my I'll put on my profile
You don't have to but it would speed up my writing tremendously.
