By the time we got to the void, my father had already described what it would be like once I became a god. He told me that it would not only be about fun and games, doing whatever you want.
He told me of the great battles he faced being the god of everything, describing what it was like to make another god fade into thin air. It wasn't like killing a monster; it was much direr. Once a creature faded their essence would be erased from the universe.
Chaos described the immense power I would have once I became a god. And that when it happened, the fates would decide my abilities and domains.
After we had got to my father's palace, he took me to my room. "I have been building this for a few weeks now, putting things I think you might like in here to make you happy when you visit," he exclaimed showing me my mansion sized room.
Leading me away from my room my father guided me to a room with an hourglass symbol on top of the doorway. When I took a closer look, I saw that the grains of sand weren't falling, like gravity had stopped.
Chaos guided me in. As I walked in it felt like I had vertigo, my senses being overwhelmed. "Here is the time vault." my dad gestured to the room "here you will perform a few tasks in order for the fates to decide your domains" he finished.
"Well, what are the tasks?" I asked my speech all groggy. "First you should rest in the time vault to get used to its effects on you." He pointed to a bed in the corner of the room.
"I think that's a very good idea" I agreed to realize how tired I was. I laid down in the small bed, and it was one of the most comfortable experiences I had ever felt. I fell asleep moments after everyone had left.
During the middle of what would have been a peaceful sleep, a shrieking alarm sounded in the time vault. I couldn't tell where it was coming from, but I knew I had to figure out if everyone was safe.
I tried to get out of bed, but I was strapped to the now firm mattress. I tried flashing out of the leather straps, but that did nothing. My head was still feeling the effects of the time vault. Eventually, the sirens became background noise, and I could concentrate on getting out of this trap.
I looked around for any objects I could use to help me get out, but nothing around my bed would give me a hand in this situation.
I could feel the changes of the room. It had changed from an inviting, cosy area and now it was a white industrial type of place.
I have been trapped before, and I'll probably be trapped again, but I had no clue how to get out of this one. Just as I thought things couldn't get any worse, the air ducts begin to spew colored air meaning poison.
I started to struggle in attempted to get out of the bed. The smoke traveled fast meaning I shook the bed as quickly as possible.
The struggle reminded me of the struggle I would have had if I had married Annabeth. I thought back to the disastrous relationship our parents had and how it would never work in the long run. My head was trying going into death mode showing me my past, but I knew I needed to find a way out.
Finally, I relaxed and took a minute to try to find a way out. I looked at the straps that were holding me back. All five of the straps connected at the center point above my belly button.
I don't know what it was but as I started to relax the volume of the siren lowered, the smoke began to clear, and the straps began to loosen.
At the exact moment, I could get my hands and legs free of the straps I escaped from the bed. Moving onto the floor.
In the morning I found myself floating about a foot or two off the ground. I hadn't realize it until now, but gravity in this room was much less regulated. After trying to swim back to the ground that didn't work. I attempted to grab onto something. After a long while, I finally got back to solid ground. And that's when the fates came in wearing nothing but black.
