Capítulo 9: Samantha. - part2

- ...OK. - Rebeca was confused by her teacher's explanation, but she still closed her eyes and tried to do exactly as instructed. After a few moments, Rebeca's eyes opened and glowed an extremely bright royal blue as she stared at the space in front of her. In this space lines began to form, and with her eyes she could see that everything was made up of tiny lines. Before Rebecca even touched one of these lines, she heard Tirésias again. - Ignore the lines, focus on the small dots around you, attract some of them with blue and let's begin.

Samantha. - part2

While Rebecca tried to help with her physical condition, Arthur was staring at a woman with bright red hair, her eyes were extremely crimson, their shade so strong that there was almost no difference between her irises and her pupils. Her body was covered in flames of different shades, including blue, white, black, green, red, and other colors. The woman was also sitting on a throne of white and blue flames.

- So, little Arthur, do you really want me to leave? If you really want to, fine, but if I don't protect you, I think Zeus will come back. - Said the woman as she smiled at Arthur.

- Your offer is ridiculous! That asshole is crazy too! I just wanted a good teacher, why did you have to leave it like that? - Arthur was indignant, his face was full of anger, but at the same time there was awe and admiration directed at the woman sitting in front of him. Looking at the triumphant and slightly playful expression of the woman in front of him, Arthur could only begin to reconsider his opinion on the matter with a frown as he remembered what he had just witnessed.

- What is this place? There seems to be fire everywhere, but... it doesn't burn? That's strange... - Arthur muttered as he ran his hand over the colored flames that filled his vision.

At that moment a voice rang out, as if from all directions. - It's okay human, this is the assimilation space. You may be confused, but there's no need to worry, just assimilate with yourself. And, if you wish, take on someone else's inheritance. I wish you good luck human, as promised, at least that I will do. - As soon as the voice stopped, Arthur magically felt calm, and a wealth of information about how to proceed with assimilation came to mind.

After acquiring the information, Arthur remembered something Albert had said to him a long time ago and muttered. - The voice that helps us is warm.

Arthur had known about the savior's story even before listening to the lesson the day before, he also knew that he would receive instructions, but it was still incredible that that voice could somehow calm him down and make all the pain disappear. - I don't know how listening to simple instruction reassured me so much, but whatever. Let's follow the advice Jonathan gave us. - Arthur thought with a smiling face.

So, let's get started. - Arthur said.

- ZEUS! YOU ARE THE STUPIDEST GOD ON OLYMPUS!!! HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO STUPID AS TO BE CHAINED UP IN THEIR SLEEP? YOU SHOULD HAND OVER YOUR TITLE OF KING OF OLYMPUS TO ANY OTHER IDIOT, PROBABLY ONE OF THE IDIOTS WHO CHAINED YOU WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE! IF YOU ACCEPT A SUGGESTION. I THINK THE BATHROOM MANAGER, POSEIDON, COULD TAKE YOUR PLACE!!! - After shouting so much, Arthur's voice became hoarse, but he still ended up smiling at what he had just said. Arthur thought he had done a great job now and was already thinking of some more embarrassing stories about the king of Olympus, apart from the chains in the book he had seen yesterday. While smiling Arthur had already decided on his next offense and his smile couldn't help but widen for a moment, but before Arthur could say anything a voice that resounded like thunder came out. - Boy, YOU REALLY ARE BOLD... - Just these words caused the flames around him to stir, and Arthur fell to his knees while supporting his head with his hands; before he could even recover the voice continued. - Not just insulting me, yet questioning the competence of several others on Olympus? Fuhuhu... AHahahahaha... well, good boy. - The voice continued in a sarcastic and sadistic tone that seemed to be poking fun at Arthur, who had fallen to the ground and was curled up in a fetal position with both hands clutching his head. - Many people cursed us, and they still do from time to time... But all the imbeciles who say half their words have been punished... Unfortunately, I can't personally go and punish you yet, but I can still disrupt your union. - After saying this, the voice fell silent for a few seconds, during which time Arthur struggled to get to his knees. His skin was pale, and his hands and legs were trembling. The image Arthur now displayed resembled that of a mere rodent cornered by a large wild feline.

Arthur, who was trying to stabilize himself, was startled by the sound of thunder and an accumulation of black clouds where lightning danced around them. In this space that was once filled with flames, the lightning that was swirling around the clouds continued to become more and more frantic with each passing second. As Arthur gazed at this surreal and strange scene of a single cloud full of lightning appearing in the sky, continually multiplying to create exact copies of itself, he heard the disdainful and loud voice again. - Boy, I, the king of the Olympian gods, condemn you as guilty of slander! In my Name, Zeus, I command thunder to fall on you until your soul is in pieces. Even if I cannot destroy it, I will make it impossible for you to use your strength. Be miserable! This is the payment for your unfortunate words, human! - Zeus said, with obvious disdain and a provocative tone mixed into his words.

"This is already the second chapter where the last paragraph has disappeared when viewed on cell phones. To avoid this, I've decided to duplicate this message at the end of each chapter, hoping it will resolve the issue. If you're reading this, I apologize if it's intrusive, but it's a better solution than leaving the chapter incomplete."
