Chapter 19: Time and Time Again, I look Back at Where I've Been
Jake sat in the shower. Hopper the messenger rabbit of the Gods sat down talking to him. There he delivered a message of Amitaratsu the Japanese goddess of the sun. He pulled the silver scroll from his pouch upon and in her voice read the following
"Greetings Jake Caloway. It is wonderful to meet you again. Soon your quest for the gods will take you all over the world. You must not use your real name when visiting. Instead you must pick a Japanese name. I suggest the name Gakupo. While their you must not drink any Saki for it means something in our culture. Also a long time ago you promise me you would be very rude. I need you to go back on this promise! Please bow full set. Also you will meet the emperor. Please do not allow him to bow to you! Please tell him the one Japanese word you know. "Huzukashi desu!". Please bow to me very respectfully when we meet!" The letter continued on and on with rules and customs and ended very politely. Then Hopper carried on a conversation in Japanese with some sort of spirit Jake could not hear in the shower.
Then Hopper read a letter from Hermes and a letter from Zues that detailed a punishment. Zues claimed that because Jake had recently wronged the gods his children would no longer be raised on Mount Olympus and instead be raised exiled with human families. But that they would be well taken care of and the letter ended that despite all of this he was extremely extremely proud of his son. Jake had a tendency to notice that his children aged supernaturally quickly in other news .
People in Jake's life had begun to find him very attractive. As far as he saw looking in the mirror, the weight had increased the face was worse and his teeth while improved looked "like shit". However everyone in his life beyond spirituality had longed for him and made constant references to finding him attractive. "But I'm ugly!" Jake would readily claim but crush after crush had come forward and people passing by had made remarks Jake took note of. Weight or no weight Jake Caloway was "hot". Pretty soon he would be dying his hair blonde and he was told of loosing the eight upon such.. At night Jake had been dealing with someone from the city of gods as well many famous demigods. He was son of Zues however despite his sexual inclination the god Hypnos ordered him a watch which he then enspelled. He told Jake to make one wish while opening the golden box and Jake made it known. "I hope you like the closet" Hypnos said and Jake looked above his head and saw a yellow circle with a golden spiral. "The GAME" was on and Jake was the leader of team Ice. There were three main teams, team Inferno, team ice, and team leaf. Jake was leading several demigods and training them for this war, the war for earth as he called it, but Jake's sexual inclination as a fertility goddess couldn't help him here, despite how he got his rocks off, conspiracy theories and hyonsis were definitely involved. Whether he wanted it to be or not.
Hypnos told Jake never to leave the house without the watch for it would "save his life one day". Jake's notoriety as the goddess Arian had been spreading. A vendicative, egotistical, heartwarming kind goddess of fertility and death. And Fertility meant sex. Jake was an adult after all or atleast at this point he believed himself to be. He just wished for the game not to be how he felt it, and that people and ghosts of his past would leave him alone. Jake had already been exposed as the creator of everything and been very very honest as of late, however Hypnos was turning him via his enchantments into a liar, his words not Jake's. Jake had recently become acquainted with a "fragment shard" these were people who shared a mirrored link with each other, same character, same story, different life. This shard was named Dante but despite in actuality being heavily involved in our story? He may as well not exist.
Jake was greeted by Hermes a good friend to him in the shower and a little before he got in. Knowing Hermes Jake thought nothing of the nudity. Hermes was his usual self and made light of Jake's plans of devotional tattoos to Mercury of angel wings on his ankles. "I'm your patron! Mercury is your drinking buddy! Floating Yowdehs" and then he pulled out a golden envelope. "I have a letter to you from dad. Just before you read this know he loves you okay? He loves you."
