Tommy’s POV

~Dreamscape~

I woke up from my sleep and slowly sat up from the bed I was lying on while rubbing my eyes a little. When I was now completely awake, I realized that I wasn’t in the room that Karl rented yesterday but was in a room that looked like one of those Greek temples.

“W-What?Where am I? K-Karl? Momiji? Ricarro?” I asked, looking around for them. I was starting to get scared while looking around until I heard a voice.

“You don’t have to be afraid of my child, this is a safe place,” a soft and kind voice said, making me turn around to see a woman wearing a beautiful white dress, golden accessories, and large wings on her back. I looked at her while stepping a little.

“W-Who are you? A-And where am I?” I asked softly.

“My name is Aphrodite and you are here in my temple” she said, making me look at her in shock.

“A-Aphrodite? Y-You’re my mother?” I asked, making her smile sadly before nodding her head as she walked over to me. She then wrapped her arms around me and I could feel the warmth that I haven’t felt for a long time. I shakily wrapped my arms around her as I could feel tears forming in my eyes.

“W-Why now? W-Why are you talking t-to me n-now?” I asked her softly which made her hold me tightly.

“I’ve tried reaching out to you dear but something was blocking me from talking to you. Your grandfather also tried the same but only ended in failure. I was only able to talk to you now because of the Chronos. I was able to talk to you after you were away from that place that hurt you. I’m sorry that it took so long for me to reach out to you” she said, making me hug her. I couldn't be mad at her, she tried her best to contact me which I was happy about.

“Please don’t blame yourself Mom” I said, making her move away from the hug to look at me.

“So you accept me as your mother?” she asked, making me nod which made her smile.

“I’m glad that you do, my dear child. I’m sure that your siblings would love to meet you” she said, making me look at her wide-eyed.

“I-I have siblings?” I asked, making her nod.

“You have five my dear. Unfortunately, one of them is in Elysium now so you won’t be able to meet her” she told me sadly which made me look down.

“Really? W-What about the others?” I asked her.

“Three of them are in the camp while the other one is currently traveling the lands with her lover who is one of the sons of Hermes. You’ll be able to meet her later but your other siblings, you’ll be meeting them once you arrive at the camp” she said as she placed her hand on my cheek.

“You’ve been through so much. I’m so sorry for that my dear child” she said as she held me in her arms again. I just silently held her back as my tears silently slid down my face. We Stayed in each other’s arms for a while until I suddenly heard a bell chime which made me look around.

“W-What was that?” I asked softly, making her look at me sadly.

“It means that your time with me is up” she said sadly which made me look at her.

“W-What? B-But I j-just met you” I said, making her look at me with a gentle smile.

“We will again soon, my little one” she said softly.
