Office of the Lost

Olympus

As Harry sat in his throne he kept answering calls of around 20 but more accurately 23 different people having lost their keys, money, wallet, books or even on an almost comical rate their socks. Harry kept answering the key and books, and other items prayers but his Godscope told him that finding lost socks was an almost Olympian level situation seeing as how ebven gods keep losing one of their socks even with divine help.

Harry was reading reports about the number of lost souls that were found in the few short hours. The number of lost souls numbered in the thousands, Harry made a note to send a letter to the Underworld to get someone to retrieve these souls. However Harry cane across a different problem in where to let these souls wait until they are retrieved. As Harry was pondering this his Godscope informed him that he could purchase a plot of land and to upgrade it into a storage area.

So Harry now was looking into different land options that were within his price range. He saw:

Empire State Building 520th floor, New York- 5000 drachmas

* 's Thrift Store, Los Angeles- 25 drachmas

Area 52 -1000 drachmas

So Harry looked at how much he had which was 100 drachmas, seeing no other option Harry bought the Thrift shop. As soon as he agreed a roll of thick golden yellow paper appeared before him on the desk with a eagle feather floating beside it. The paper was basically Harry signing that he wanted to buy the property and that it will be under his domain.

As Harry signed the paper multiplied into three pieces and two disappeared and the remaining rolled itself up and a blood red ribbon tied it together.

Harry thought that was a little too simple so he teleported to the Thrift store and what he saw made him him realize why the place was so cheap.

It was a dump!

The windows were broken and boarded up it had stripping paint outside, Harry did not want to imagine inside not to mention the smell. As Harry walked up to the boarded up door the boards came off and disappeared as soon as he came close. The inside was just the same as outside with broken glass and shelves in disarray, although the store was larger than he expected with three storeys and large storage areas. As Harry wondered what he was going to do his Godscope informed him that the spell that made his relatives don't pay him attention and not notice that he wasn't there was fading so Harry used Multibody Awareness to make a copy of himself to be inside his cupboard.

~H~

Harry decided that he would still let the lost souls congregate here until they are collected to go to the underworld. As according to his thoughts a crow flew in with something bright white in it's beak. As soon as the crow let go of the ball it transformed into a thirty something year old guy in a grey robe. As soon as he saw where it was he was be started begging for his life.

"Woah, woah hold on there may I know your name?"

"It's Owllyn Lightbrook. May I ask what's yours? I'm hearing an English accent."

" Yes my name is Harken Minor God of the Lost, Patron of Orphans and Guardian of Hope." As soon as Harry made that declaration Owllyn looked at him and then burst out laughing...for five straight minutes until he was red in the face.

While he was laughing harry took the opportunity to observe him and he saw that Owllyn or Owl as Harry would be calling him from now on was tall and thin in a fit swimmer build, he had a light brown mop of curly hair on top of his head with baby blue eyes that seemed to light up with laughter. He also had scared hands that has tattoos of different runes of different colours.

His grey robes were floor length and he had a stick which Harry correctly assumed was his wand that his Godscope confirmed.

When he finished laughing he said

"I know people have a God Complex but you are the only person I know that gives themself a name and domains!"

Harry looked nonplussed and asked,

"So what can I do to to prove to you that I'm actually what I say I am?"

" You would have to according to the manuscript left by Merrick the Miraculous you would have to extract my soul while still keeping me conscious."

Harry looked at him in amazement like he couldn't believe someone told him to extract something he only recently discovered was actually real and possibly vital to survival according to his Godscope and basically do show and tell with it.

As Harry wondered what he would do his Godscope informed him that he could do that seeing as how Owl was not truly dead just being forcefully astral projected and his body was in a weird hospital called St. Mungo's in a ward for the incurable cases, he was still in the domain of the Lost not knowing how to get back to his body so Harry can manipulate his souls or bind his soul.

So Harry nodded and siked himself up and doing as his Godscope was telling him he focused on Owl's soul and commanded that it went into his hand. Harry was pleasantly surprised when Owl glowed white and flowed into his hand. After around 3 seconds Harry was left holding a softly glowing sphere of pure white light the size of a softball and weighing less than air. His Godscope then said that he would need to focus his Divine form and guide the soul to his body.

Harry nodded and went into his divine form for the first time.

If Harry could see he would see that he grew 3 feet and his body gave off gold mist. His hair seemed to be in a perpetual gentle wind, his eyes glowed a brilliant emerald green like green fire. His face had faintly glowing lines that pulsed gold. His arms were covered with different runes that blended together perfectly and around his head was literal crown of lightening. If any mortal were to look on him now directly they would feel overwhelmed and go insane shortly thereafter.

Harry then blew gently on his palm that the sphere was now perfectly fitting into and the soul flew like a feather in a hurricane through the open door and up and toward what Harry suspected was his body.

After Harry transformed back into his mortal form his Godscope notified him.

Congratulations!

You have received your first devoted worshipper. You have received 1000 blessings.

Every time they pray you get 50 blessings and answering there prayers provide you with an extra 10 blessings.

Owllyn Lightbrook is a skilled Spell Crafter and Rune Carver, he is planning to make a statue of you which when finished will give you 1000 blessings and every time something is offered or sacrificed you get an additional 500 blessings.

Harry was glad that he got the blessings as he was planning to get equipped and

But Harry saw that there wasn't any merchandise in the store, his Godscope answered and said that he can buy merchandise in the Hermes express app on his Godscope.

When Harry pulled out his Godscope after telling Jay to start making and arranging furniture, he opened the Hermes app and saw the clothing section. He saw that he can bulk order different clothes for 50 drachmas. He ordered the supplies and as he pressed Buy Now he heard a knocking at the front door. When he opened it he saw Hermes there with a clipboard and pen but this Hermes looked straight through Harry and he realied Hermes was using automatons to the do the delivering and making it appear that he was actually delivering it himself, which was honestly smart and lazy as one can be. As soon as Harry signed the automaton disappeared with a clunking clank and a muted flash.

As Harry got back to cleaning his mind wandered and looked into his domains and saw that he had roughly 2500 lost souls waiting to go into the enchanted soul space inside the store.

As Harry was sweeping he was wondering if he could get this done quickly, his Godscope informed him that he could instruct a number of Lost souls of around 20 to help out, anymore than that and he would start to burn up due to not being able exert control over that amny souls. Harry hearing this nodded and summoned 15 Lost souls to the store. The souls that came were vastly different from one another, some were dark while others were light, some where taller 6 foot while others were shorter than 5 foot 5 inches. Some had lots of hair while others had none, and that's when Harry realized that his domain extended over all lost souls and those of the Greek pantheon.

As Harry advised the souls of the situation a matter of payment came up that stumped Harry because he didn't think the souls wanted payment. His trusty Godscope came in and provided him that he could pay the living lost souls by sending them back to their bodies and paying part of the hospital bills with 1 blessings as the conversion rate for a blessing is $5000 and for the dead Lost souls he could guide them to their perspective afterlives.

Harry hearing this explained it to the souls and they were happy or even if not happy mollified. They all got to work and with some divine and undead speed and not tiring easily bybthe end of the day they finished cleaning and organizing the store. When they were finished Harry assumed his Divine form and summoned the 15 souls to him of the 15 5 were deceased and the rest in comas. Seeing as how he knew what to do with the living Lost souls he did this first and sent them hurtling straight for their bodies.

The deceased Los souls he had to concentrate on them properly to know where to send them. Just doing 1 of the souls took 10 minutes but his Godscope said as he grows he will be able to do it with a snap of a finger.

As he finally sent the last souls out he felt extremely tired, which was weird as Apollo mentioned that he didn't need to sleep for 4 days at a time and be just a s fresh and energetic as of he just woke up and had a double shot espresso.

His Godscope informed him that because he used an abundance of his powers and his mortal-ish body can't take it or it would explode violently reeking havoc on the mortal world and his domains especially.

After hearing this he almost vowed to be careful and for his Godscope to inform him what would burn him out quickly. As he was getting ready to leave after locking up and sealing it with some divine magic he heard something huge flapping in the wind outside his shop and then a slow meticulous knock. Wondering who it could Harry opened thenbindsnon the front door and there stood …….
