Need a Book

Chapter 8

     I was sitting down. Well, it was more of kneeling for prayers. The two books were in front of me, but if you didn't know they were there, you wouldn't be able to see them. And that was what I wanted.

      I began to speak the words in the book, "Sumptis Viribus," "Ego, Nicky Vangela Truman, numina Graia Potensque dea conspicere, Nyx. Opto has potestates mihi causa honeste collatas habere. Et quamdiu vixero, honorabo illas potestates usque in diem quo moriar et descendam ad Tartarum. Virtutes largitus sum mihi, et cum eis faciam honesta(Latin, I, Nicky Vangela Truman, wish to behold the powers of the Greek and powerful goddess, Nyx. I wish to have these powers bestowed on me for a purpose, an honorable purpose. And for as long as I live, I will honor those powers till the day I die and descend to Tartarus. Bestowed the powers into me and I will do honorable deeds with them)," as I spoke, I began to offer the bowl with the potion to the goddess Nyx. Which is when I said, "Θέλω να μιλήσω στη Νίξ, τη θεά της νύχτας. Σε παρακαλώ, Nyx, ξέρω ότι δεν σου αρέσουν οι άνθρωποι και δεν τους κάνεις δώρα, αλλά το χρειάζομαι αυτό. Γι' αυτό, σε παρακαλώ, φώναξε μου ένα κλάσμα των δυνάμεών σου. Σας παρακαλούμε?" (Greek, I wish to speak to Nyx, the goddess of the night. Please, Nyx, I know that you don't like humans and you don't give gifts to them but I need this. So please allow me a fraction of your powers. Please?). As I was saying that, through the open window, black air which held magic came through and went inside my potion. I had to focus harder so I didn't break the spell, and something terrible happened. When I stopped speaking, all of the magic went into the potion and it changed from a black potion to a dark blue that looked like the night sky, which made sense as she is the goddess of night.

      "ευχαριστώ"(Greek, thank you).

      As I drank the potion, I felt all the magic go into my body, but it hurt. I would've thought I just got attracted but dolphins or an orca. That is when a dark cloud came into the air then it all disappeared, leaving behind Nyx, Selene, and Apollo. Shit, what am I going to do!? I thought only Nyx would appear, even though that's not a good thing, but it's better than this! I keep holding my stomach, trying to breathe, but it doesn't seem to be working. I watch Nyx walk over to me.

      "Γεια σου αγαπητό παιδί, να μου πεις τι νομίζεις ότι κάνεις; Ή να σε στείλω στον Άδη και να τον αφήσω να ασχοληθεί με αυτό?" Nyx spoke (Greek, Hello dear child, care to tell me what you think you are doing? Or should I just send you to Hades and let him deal with this?)

      I tried to catch my breath, but it always got away from me before I could speak.

      "Βλέπω. Μητέρα, νομίζω ότι πρέπει να απαλύνεις τον πόνο της πριν την στείλεις στην κόλαση. δεν συμφωνείς?"(Greek, I see. Mother, I think you should ease her pain before you send her to hell. Don't you agree?).

      "Όχι, δεν συμφωνώ. Το έβαλε στον εαυτό της, μπορεί να υποφέρει με τις συνέπειες, Selene."(Greek, No, I don't agree. She put this on herself, she can suffer with the consequences, Selene.)

      "Ny-Ma'am, νομίζω ότι πρέπει πραγματικά να το σκεφτείς. Εννοώ ότι κανείς δεν έχει επικοινωνήσει μαζί μας εδώ και πολύ καιρό, και τώρα που κάποιος τον έκανες να υποφέρει; Δεν νομίζω ότι είναι μακριά. Και μη λέτε ότι οι άνθρωποι επικοινωνούν μαζί μας μόνο όταν θέλουν κάτι, επικοινώνησε μαζί σας για την άδεια να το κάνει αυτό και μάλιστα προσπάθησε να συνομιλήσει και μαζί σας," Apollo tried even though we both probably knew that it wasn't going to work. (Greek, Ny-Ma'am, I think you should really think about it. I mean no one has contacted us in a long time, and now that someone has you make them suffer? I don't think that is fair. And don't you say that humans only contact us when they want something, she contacted you for permission to do this and even tried to have a conversation with you as well.)
