I speeded it up a little!

SIX MONTHS LATER...
Out of the six months that I have been here, much as changed about me. As you can see, my speech pattern has changed a lot. I have learned many things since I arrived. I have learned to stitch and clean clothes the ancient way. I finally felt independent. The people here also have a great liking to my voice. I had gained the title of Maliyah the Golden voice of Sparta. When I walk around the city, all the children and adults beg me to sing them a song. Many men have tried to marry me because of my looks and voice but I am not ready for that and Max isn't either. But I had noticed something about him lately. He's been going out late at night and not coming until morning. I understand his pressing duty of being in the Spartan army but thats even strange for him. I do not want to sound like I am his mother but its just...strange.
I was sitting in the living room stitching a cloth. Max was outside guarding as usual. The sound of lightening and thunder directed my attention outside. I thought it was going to be a regular thunder storm. I could hear Max pulling out his sword against his armor. I could see the rest of the soldiers and citizens looking up at the sky. I ran outside to see also blending into the crowd, standing next to Max. The dark clouds started to part. In the descending clouds was a light from the heavens, that beamed down on Sparta. All else was dark. The booming voice of Zeus, king of the Gods rung in our ears.
" BRING FORTH THE ONE THEY CALL MALIYAH, THE GOLDEN VOICE OF SPARTA."
In the midst of the crowd of soldiers and civilians, soon separated to reveal me and Max, who were in the middle. I stared at the sky, while I slowly stepped in the sun beam.
" I am Maliyah."
" THE GODS OF OLYMPUS HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU, YOUNG SPARTAN. A VOICE SUCH AS YOURS COULD ONLY BE POSSESSED BY A GODDESS OF BEAUTY, POSSESSED LIKE YOURSELF. STEP FORTH ON THE DESCENDING CLOUD AND YOU SHALL RISE UP TO OLYMPUS."
I could hear everyone gasping in disbelief.
" May I consult with my father?"
" QUICKLY! YOU DO NOT KEEP THE GODS WAITING!"
I heard everyone in the crowd mumbling, 'what on earth is she doing?' and 'she would be a fool not to obey the Gods!' I turned around to face Max.
" I have been thinking about this for a while, Maliyah. You have been called upon by the almighty Zeus himself. That is a true blessing. Now go, you don't want to keep him waiting."
" If I never return, Ill miss you all. And Max?" I said as I stepped on the cloud.
" Yes, Maliyah?"
" I love you." The cloud started to float up.
" I LOVE YOU TOO LILI!" Max screamed. The cloud quickly took off and the crown below me disappeared.
