Chapter 4 Lost in my Thoughts

What no one told me was that demigod dreams are a mixture of reality and thoughts.

It would've been nice to know, thanks a lot people. What Rachel told me echoed in my dreams.

"Her words like fire, she storms the dark palace, her need is dire, and her thoughts are from malice. Unable to see his own daughter he wallows in guilt, watching the roses die and wilt, whereas the mother plots retaliation, against the man who sweeps the demigod nation." Rachel's voice echoed over and over again.

Until, a new voice emerged, more powerful and overpowering than Rachel's.

"The dawn rises and falls, the voice of an angry Zeus calls, seeking revenge on the ones who betrayed his rules, for she stole one of his master tools. Stuck in dreamland she will await, her devastatingly dramatic fate. So it be done, by the order of the eldest son!" The voice roared as lightning and thunder erupted my dream state.

And with that said, I was transported into a cell, with a bed and a toilet.

The rocky cement dug into my knees and I willed myself to stand. The walls were a dull grey, no doubt made of cement as well as the floor.

The booming voice sounded again, though this time, it was not addressed to me.

"Nemesis! Why have you stolen my armor?!" The man's voice boomed.

Nemesis.... now where have I heard that before? I believe it was mentioned in my mythology class back at my old school.

If I had to guess, Nemesis was the Greek goddess of revenge.

"It is payback for you not allowing me to see my child, Zeus!" Whom I guessed to be Nemesis shouted.

"You disobeyed me! It is the consequence of your actions!" Who I pinned to be Zeus shot back and ear splitting thunder rolled nearby.

This sounded like the stupid voices in my head.

Nemesis stealing something for retaliation and vengeance, Zeus seeking revenge for the ones who betrayed his rules, I'm stuck in dreamland since I cannot wake up and my arm doesn't hurt when I pinch it, Zeus is the eldest son of the big three, my words are like fire, my need to get out of here is dire, I'm pretty sure that this is a palace, yes, my thoughts at this point in time are from malice considering the fact that I'm in a dungeon, and I think Zeus is the one that sweeps the demigod nation.

Damn I'm screwed.

So, I'm guessing, Nemesis is my mother? Or are they talking about someone else and I just happen to be here and the rhymes make sense?

I'm going with the former, it's too much of a coincidence.

So if Nemesis is my mother, who is my father?

'Unable to see to see his own daughter he wallows in guilt, watching the roses die and wilt.'

Is my father a lunatic who stares at roses all day and night until they die from lack of nourishment?

"Well, screw the consequences! Do you want your precious armor back?" Nemesis asked with a light growl.

Now that I think about it, I'm a lot like this woman. I seek vengeance when needed, I get angry easily, and I tend to growl a lot when I am irritated, just like her.

I'm starting to respect this woman.

"Yes, of course I want my armor back!" Zeus said.

Lightning flashed and rain poured down. The sound and smell of the rain soothes me, calms me.
