The Gods wake up from a strange, dreamless sleep.
Hestia, who was curled up in a chair, sits up, rubbing her eyes. Her once adult body is now the body of someone who looked around thirteen.
Uke-Mochi, who was sitting against a wall, stretches, her once thin body now has weight added to it.
Janus, who was curled up on the floor, rolls onto his back and looks up. His adult body has been made younger, much like Hestia’s, and his once double-sided face was brought back to normal. Well, just about.
Amathaunta, who was sprawled on the floor next to Janus, sits up. Their once small and nimble body has been changed to a larger, more muscular build.
Sonny, who was asleep on a hammock, opens her eyes. Thanks to her amulet, her body hasn’t changed much, she simply has two arms now instead of four.
Bragi, who was asleep standing against the wall, wakes up and shakes his head. He now has a golden pompadour on his once balding head, a MUCH younger body, and a nice suit to replace his past garb that consisted of old rags.
Bragi looks around, taking in the room around him, his cheeks brightening with quickening excitement as he saw all of the members. He stands up tall.
“HELLO, new friends!” His smile grows at the sing-songy deepness of his voice.
Uke-Mochi and Hestia smile and get up, Sonny rolls over in her hammock and puts an arm over her ear.
Bragi looks over at Sonny with a concerned look, but shakes his head and looks back at the other girls with that big smile back on his face.
Janus sits up and stretches, yawning and looking up at Bragi.
Bragi clears his throat. “I have no idea where I am, how I got here, or how you guys did. Either way, I’m glad this happened, glad we all met... wherever this is.” He looks around. “Looks a bit broken down... that can be fixed!”
Sonny turns back around. “Do we even know each other?” She sits up, gripping the sides of the hammock as it teeters, attempting to regain balance or throw her off trying. “Why do you have to talk right now? I thought we were asleep for a reason.”
Bragi sighs. “We all woke up for a reason, too.” He looks around. “Do any of you remember anything as to how you got here?”
Uke-Mochi scratches her belly. “All I remember is some guy saving me from death...”
Hestia nods. “Yeah, same here... he had really long hair...”
Sonny tilts her head. “Nice legs, though.” They all nod, unanimously agreeing to her statement.
“But there’s still a huge problem.” Everyone looks at the now-small boy who spoke up. Janus stands up. “We were moved into a room, who knows how long ago, with a bunch of strangers. Am I the only one concerned about this?”
Sonny sighs. “But who could’ve done this?”
Hestia whimpers, clutching her head. “It was the Wraths!!”
Uke-Mochi tilts her head. “Are you sure it wasn’t demons?”
Janus shakes his head. “No, definitely the Satyrs. They’re nothing but trouble.”
Bragi shakes his head. “Guys, I have no idea what any of you are talking about! Calm yourselves, there’s no need to make things up for the sake of blaming them!”
Sonny scoffs. “Then what do you think it was?”Â
“Well, it’s obvious!” Bragi stands tall. “It was trolls!”
The entirety of the room that has already spoken begins fighting, yelling at each other, and the like. Amathaunta stands silently in the middle of it all...
The floor shakes, everyone stops yelling immediately as Amathaunta stands tall, glaring at them all in turn.
The room stays deathly silent, everyone cowering under Amathaunta’s height.
Bragi takes this chance to seize control. “Guys! I don’t think arguing is getting us anywhere... we need to go at this with clear thoughts and a little less bias... now, let’s try this again... you can all agree we saw the guy?”
