“So let me get this straight.” I said while pacing back and forth.
“You want me, your average somewhat-powerful demon-possessed young lad, to fight off Titans?”
“Yep”
“And not just Titans but also their minions.”
“Yep”
“And we’re talking about the Titans that rivaled the Gods in power?”
“That about sums it up.” I raised my hand; Poseidon looked around the room before finally pointing at me.
“Yes, you in the trench coat”
“Can I have some of what you’re smoking?”
"No it would kill you"
“Oh well in that case; HOW THE BLOODY HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO BEAT TITANS BY MYSELF!?”
[Yeah we’re so fucked]
{I KNOW I’M WORKING ON THE PROBLEM!}
“Well you’ll also have the Elements of Harmony.”
“Oh great the same Elements that Discord stole with absolutely no problem? Yeah I’m reassured now, oh and if you gods have an all powerful army just lying around feel free to forward it to my new address.”
“I wish we did have an all-powerful army lying around right now Jake but we don’t and with Titans invading earth we have to spread our forces thin, I’m sorry to ask so much from you.” Apology or not he just told me that I was the only thing standing between the Titans and innocent lives, and to be honest I was lacking in the self-confidence sections.
“Well what about an all-powerful weapon? I could settle for one of those.” He shook his head.
“I’m afraid not, you wont be alone in this Jake I promise you that, we’ll get you whatever supplies we can when we can but sadly our main focus must be Earth where our thrones are.”
“ALRIGHTY-THEN! I’M THE CRAZY HUMAN FOR THE JOB!” I got the feeling that no matter how hard I argued I would not be receiving back-up anytime soon. I smiled crazily; I mean hey if you’re gonna accept a suicidal job do it smiling. Poseidon smiled back.
“Glad to hear it, now come on I have to upgrade your firepower.” I’m listening
“While you’re pretty strong you’ve got nothing that Titans haven’t seen before.” And I’m back to being doomed.
“But I plan on changing that, now Jake could you light some fire in your hands please?” I opened my palms and dark fire engulfed them.
“Ok and here we go.” Poseidon sent out a tendril of magic into the fire burning in my palms, suddenly the fire felt a lot thicker and heavier not in size but in density. Before I could even ask what he did the tendril shot into my chest leaving me gasping. I stumbled back gasping for breath; I couldn’t get a breath of air! Suddenly as quick as it came the feeling left.
“What the hell…” was all I managed to gasp out before Celestia put her hoof on my shoulder to steady me.
“Sorry about that, minor inconvenience of alter your lungs.”
“You altered my lungs?”
“And a few other things that you’ll have to figure out later, but of course you’re wondering about the alterations aren’t you? Yes rather fancy if I do say so myself, I took a little smidge of my aura and implanted it inside you, now don’t be getting any ideas that you’re invincible or something because you’re not. When I said small I meant small, you’ll have the ability to heal quicker and breathe underwater but that’s about it, for now” he muttered
“Come again?”
“Oh nothing, now what I did with your fire aura is really beefed it up. Ever heard of Greek fire?” I shook my head
“Of course not, honestly what do they teach you kids these days? Greek fire is some of the meanest stuff on the market only being trumped by hellfire, and soulfire unfortunately for you that stuff is strictly reserved for Gods, and minor deities. Now Greek fire can burn at temperatures hot enough to melt metal, plus it sticks to everything. Seriously like superglue kinda sticky so don’t go throwing it around for no reason it really volatile. And that about sums up what I altered so what do you think?”
I caught my hand on fire it felt normal, then I concentrated on it getting thicker and suddenly it felt like it had before, heavier and thicker. I kept doing this till I could do it with almost no effort, I looked back up at Poseidon.
“I like it” he nodded smiling.
“thought you might, now you’ll need more than Greek fire to stop Titans which is why while we’ve been talking I sent Hephaestus too your house to install a forge and hook you up to the Royal Supply line.”
“Okay forgetting that there a god in my house, what the hell is a Royal Supply line? Oh and WHY IS THERE A GOD IN MY HOUSE!?” he chuckled
“Well Hephaestus is the God of Forging, only made sense to get him to set you up with a great forge, oh and the Royal Supply lines can only be installed by him.”
“And the Royal Supply line is?”
“Oh that’s a hook up with his forges, well kinda, you see he loves to forge things, right? But he despises mining for the ores! I mean come on he is a god right? So any way he got the brilliant idea one day, why not get Hades to streamline him the metals? And that he did, after a hundred different kinds of favors and other nonsense, now all he has to do is place a request in the supply line and poof! There’s the metal he wants ready to be formed into a work of art. Now for you I’m sure there will be some exception, like for instance some countermeasures have already been installed, the first being no precious metal! That’s right no free gold, silver, or platinum. You’ll only have access to limited amount of steel, copper, iron, and celestial bronze or any other basic metal you can think of.” I raised my hand.
“Yes?”
“What’s celestial bronze?” he gave me a dumfounded look.
“Seriously get this kid to a real school stat! ok Celestial bronze is a special kind of bronze that, oh how should I put this, can kill immortals, well not ‘kill’ kill but send them back to the underworld to be chained up again.” my head was spinning this was all too much information to take in.
A God installing a forge in my home? A supply line of metals that could injure immortals? Hell if I had known all this I might not have been so depressed about the job, I mean I thought they were going to just throw me at the Titans and say ‘Good luck and all that jazz’ and walk away. Guess they did plan on backing me up a little.
“OK any more questions?”
“Well yes actually-“
“Too bad! Being a God does not have a lot of spare time! Now come on we have some news to break!”
“News?”
“Why yes of course! We have to go tell the Elements about the Show!”
“On second thought how about NO!”
