The goddess of light was a concept I knew from mythology books I had read in the school library as a kid. She was a legend, a myth, and a mere figment of imagination. Even so, I found her sitting right in front of me, very well and alive.
"Here, you must be tired. I saw all the action from the security footage," she held out her hand, prompting me to take it. "You put up quite the fight. I'm impressed!"
"You... saw that?" I finally found the will to speak. There was fear behind my eyes and fogging my brain. Was she going to hurt me for trying to escape? Or lock me in that room in this place high above land? My migraine became even worse at the thought. The only thing I had in mind was to suck up to the goddess and hope her grace wasn't a way to deceive me. "I didn't mean to escape, I swear! I was... just trying to find a bathroom!"
Her expression exploded with worry. "Oh, I am so sorry! Where are my manners? I knew I should have intervened when I saw you woke up. Here, I can show you to a restroom."
"No! I actually don't have to go anymore," I lied through my teeth, feeling the sweat on my forehead drip down in large beads. I couldn't tell if it was from running away or from my nerves running in circles.
"Oh, would you want to take a seat, then?" she asked. "You seem really tense after... all that."
"How much did you see?" I questioned.
"As much as Pit did," she replied, leaving me with more questions than answers.
"Pit?"
"Yes, he's the leader of my army," she explained. "The angel boy... speaking of which!"
She motioned me to sit in a plush armchair beside her desk. I took it, not having any other option. The footage in front of her floated in midair. They were floating pictures without being projected by a tv or computer screen, like something out of a sci-fi movie.
My eyes went wide, saying to myself, "what kind of dream is this?"
"It's not a dream, but if it were, I would write this one down when you wake up," she replied as she adjusted the headpiece in her hair before speaking loudly. This time, she wasn't speaking to me.
"Pit, report to my office. And PLEASE calm down the troops!" she begged, and I realized she was talking to the angel boy. The pictures on the floating screens were from a third person perspective, which followed the angel.
"Did you find her, Lady Palutena?" he asked frantically. "I saw her, but she got away!"
"Yes, I have her here, Pit. She is safe, so your priority is to calm the troops and make sure everyone is back in position before reporting here. Got it?" she ordered in a no-nonsense fashion.
"On it, Lady Palutena!" He said before the goddess turned to me. I could tell my face gave away how I was feeling.
"Hey! I know what can take your mind off all this chaos. How about we play Uno!" she suggested in a very cheerful tone. "Human love that game, right?"
That's where I drew the line. Things could not have possibly gotten any weirder. "Thay have Uno in... wherever this is??"
"I guess I should explain," she started, magically making a box of cards appear out of thin air and taking the liberty to shuffle. "This is Skyworld, my domain. I promise we are not trying to keep you captive or anything, but I didn't know what to do when Pit brought you back to me."
"I... can't go home, can I?" I looked down dejectedly as she dealt out the cards.
"Oh no," I could tell her heart sank with my words. "You saw the destruction, didn't you?"
