Zeus stood there. Before my eyes. My face hardened. This was it, the moment I'd been waiting for. Training for. I draw my wakizashi, eyes shooting daggers at the god before me. I lunge for him. Too late I realise it's a trap. I'm sucked down a space rift. The gods form of transport. The world rotates round my essence. Spinning faster an faster like some demented theme park ride. I vomit till I have nothing left to hurl. A gut renching pain drags me sideways down the multicoloured tunnel through existence. The floor hits me hard. The wind is knocked from my lungs. I gulp in desperately. Water streams in through my mouth. I scream. The last of my precious air escapes. I kick out for what I hope is the surface. The water makes it hard to tell up from down. I'm running out of air. I see daylight blasting through the water. I swim with new effort. Then I hit the space rift. I'm sucked in. Trying to vomit but there's nothing to go. It feels like my guts are being yanked out through my throat. I gulp down air like a delicious drink. My head hits a rock. It hurts so much I wish I'd passed out. I shake my head trying in vain to clear the pain. I look up. Zeus is standing there. He holds out my sword, handle first. I frown in confusion. "Take it boy." He speaks in an age old voice deep with wisdom but harsh with age. I reach out, grasping the handle firmly. He releases it then punches my in the chest. I fly into a stone collum holding up the Parthenon. It's not the ruin that I saw when I went to Greece it's the whole thing. Wondrous and majestic. Movement catches my eye. Zeus is drawing a sword. It's blade is shaped like a lightning bolt. It is coloured yellow with blue around the edges. I pick up my sword and run at him. I charge the king of the gods. He fire lightning at me. I dodge it. It blows up a pillar in a familiar place. I keep running towards him. Our blades clash. The sound of ringing steel fills my ears. I kick him in the chest. He falls back. I follow up with a round house kick. He hits the floor hard. An explosion catches me full in the chest. When I stand up I see an electrical flash then Arty appears face down on the floor. I run towards her but Zeus gets there first. "Stop." He yells pressing his bolt into her back. I stop. He presses harder.
