I groan as I slowly wake up from what felt like the longest nap I've ever had when I notice a very large elephant in the room.
"Where am I?" I ask into the void as I look around at the black void around me with tiny white star like floating orbs randomly spread out before me. Getting curious about what those stars are and where I am I softly grab one and bring it closer to inspect it when I notice that as soon as I touched it I knew what it was.
"Universe 4728284732992 (normal earth with the exception of the existence of greek mythology)" I wonder out loud as I ponder what that means beyond a name, "if this is a full universe then how big am I right now?" I ask myself as I bring the tiny speck closer to my eye when suddenly I'm not in the void anymore, I'm looking at a birdseye view of a large throne room occupied by what I can guess are the Olympians.
I watch as zeus (I'm guessing) starts bitching and whining about some human settlement not worshiping him correctly after what Prometheus did. I take a moment to try willing myself into the universe and as soon as the thought pops up I am already seated on a bench in what my new power is telling me is Athens.
"Ugh that felt weird" I grumble about how constricting being like this feels. I get up as I continue trying to streach out my body and start making my way out of the city.
As I walk aimlessly in a random direction in hopes of leaving I start trying random things to see if I have certain powers and sufficed to say oh boy oh boy do I have a fucking limitless amount of them from precognition to matter manipulation to just out right reality warping, like at some point I just decided to make a power specifically for learning and and knowing what powers I have.
I will for a power to know if anybody needed divine intervention and am gobsmacked when I feel the unholy amount of people in need of help that only a demi-god or even a God's help could solve so with a desire to help those in need I start making powers that could help those that need it when I get a ping from a person in need of direct intervention from someone on the Olympians level.
So with a new power I disappear from my spot and arrive on the windowsill of a castle that a power is telling me is Troy infont of a man crying while holding a infant as the sounds of battle ring out behind me.
I wave the projection of Zeus away as he tries to convince the man to kill the infant as I sit apon the windowsill with a knee pulled up to my chest as the man continues crying about what he sees as a necessary act he needs to commit.
"King Odysseus of the isle of ithica" I say gently as the man snaps his head up to stare at me and reflexively wraps his body around the infant as if to protect it, "I come to seek an audience with you" I continue when the man has calmed himself enough to listen.
"Who are you" Odysseus demands as he unsheaths his sword and points it at me but I pay it no mind. I take a moment to think of an appropriate name I can use "my name is Khaos" I say gently as to not wake the baby as the king seems the flinch from the uttering of that name and even seems to brace for something but when nothing happens he seems to get even more nervous.
"Khaos doesn't have a physical form" I can hear him mutter 'i hope' under his breath before he resheathes his sword and stands to his full height, "what can I do for you" he reassures himself with the fact that he isnt reduced to his base particles by just talking to me.
"Given the situation you are currently in with the gods trying to force you to kill the son of Hector, I have decided to intervene and give you a third option. Give the baby to me and I will find a family for him to be raised by while also not letting the gods force the boy to get his revenge against you" I say as I create a illusion of the boy being raised by a nondescript family.
I see Odysseus judge his options for a bit before deciding he needed more information to make his decision, "what guaranty do I have that you will let the child live and also not allow the other gods to intervene" I have to give it to him that isn't a bad question to have given the god relentless need to fuck with the lives of mortals.
"I swear apon my name, my divinity and the river Styx that the child will be raised with love and will never know the cruelty of war" Odysseus seems to deflate at my oath and the resulting crack of thunder signalling the oath made on the river Styx.
I let the man take as much time as he needs to gather the courage to approach me and when he does I gently take the boy and cradle him in my arms before placing a small blessing on Odysseus to help with the coming catastrophy that is his trip home.
"Far well and a piece of advice, lock the wind bag in a chest and hide the key" I give the man a small two finger salute before vanishing to where my power is telling me the boy will be raised properly and gifting the boy a anti-divinity perception blocker making it impossible for the gods to see the boy.
