3 BUT I DID?

My eyes fluttered open as I groaned in pain, experiencing something I have never before experienced in my millennia of existence. I coughed as I looked up trying to get an idea as to where I was and what the hell just happened. I am after all a god, an original god, how could something like this happen? It was impossible.

"Nothing is impossible dearie" I heard a feminine voice, and I looked up to see three identical women standing side by sided.

"Just a bit improbable" said another while the last one giggled.

"That's a really outdated reference Clotho" I said as I stood up slowly, wincing at the unfamiliar feelings of pain "now ladies, where the hell am I, and what the mother-flipping hell did you do?"

"Oh nothing much, just did a bit of this and that and got rid of that nasty curse" said the last woman smiling in a proud fashion.

I looked around, and all of them seemed serious, it was then that I noticed the fog surrounding us, the sign that this was a vision, but when were the fates powerful enough to drag a true god into one of these trickeries?

"And how exactly did you do that? I would've known if there was a way, I've been searching for a millennium" I said scowling and still getting accustomed to the pain in my bones.

"Well, it targeted your divinity, so the easy peasy thing was to extract it from you and place it in the underworld" replied Clotho smiling as she curled her auburn hair with a finger.

"Well, the theory was easy, the spell, on the other hand, was impossible, but of course, you know us" continued Lachesis.

"Wait, that means right now I'm a goddamn mortal!?!?" I almost screamed.

Mortal, what did that mean? To me, to a god that had lived a god for their entire existence, it would be torture beyond imagination. This explained how the fates dragged me into this vision. My divinity was what made me, well me.

"Well, not exactly hear us out," said Atropos, shaking her hands in front of herself defensively as she tried to calm me down.

I gritted my teeth as I motioned for her to continue explaining as I sat down, the pain becoming unbearable.

"Zeus and the pantheon, they're monsters, and they've gained the ire of quite a few people, people who asked us to free you from your shackles, of course, this will be a slow process, the curse/seal targets a part of your divinity, as such we have removed it from you completely, binding it to a vessel in the underworld, and little by little we will give it back to you, measuring how much of your divinity is affected by the curse/seal" She explained.

"And I'm guessing I won't be privy to the information of these people?" I asked while massaging my forehead as I absorbed the information. I mean don't get me wrong, it's great, I've been looking for a way out of this curse for quite a while, but it just feels a bit off somehow.

"Sorry, not until the seal is broken" answered Lachesis.

"And Persephone?" I asked.

"Has been informed" replied Clotho.

"How long will the process take then? And what am I supposed to do during that time?" I asked sighing at my own helplessness.

"Days, months, decades? Who knows? Because after we find the part that's sealed we still have to remove the seal" said Atropos.

"And until then, you just live, as a human" continued Lachesis.

"Well our time is coming to an end, have fun hades and maybe get a better name, c yaa," said Clotho as the vision started to fade.

"Wait, I have more questions" I screamed.

I was startled awake on a bed, as I kept screaming for the three sisters to come back, every swear I'd learned throughout my existence being flung out of my mouth. Then someone came running to my side and started pushing on my shoulders forcing me to lie down and bringing me back to reality.

"Calm down, you were in an accident and a lot of bones were broken, you're gonna need some rest" came a soothing voice next to me.

I looked to my side and saw the person holding me down, a brunette girl about 18-19 years of age. She was blushing as she avoided my gaze. I frowned and wondered why she was blushing and then simply shrugged. Too young for me anyway. I nodded and gave her a smile.

"Thanks and where am I?" I asked politely, if I'm going to be human for who knows how long I might have to make some plans as to how I'm gonna go about this.

"You're at North Central Bronx, well I have to check on some other patients, and you rest alright?" She said as she prepared to leave.

I gave her a reassuring smile as I nodded to show that I will. As she left I started planning for my life as a mortal. I'm a human, so there should be necessities right? Oh yes, they need to eat and drink, as a god food and drink was more of a pleasure than anything else, now I have to eat for survival, and for that I need money, am I going to have to work? Get a job? How am I gonna do that? Ugh this is just great, me a god, stuck in a mortal body and I'm supposed to figure it out.

Just when I thought that a wave of pain shot me in the head as memories started flowing into my mind, a boy lost his dad at the age of five, lives with his mom and two elder sisters, age 18, more memories and details kept invading my mind making a place for themselves. I gasped as it ended, all the memories now a part of me, seems like I've been put into this body. That means my actual body, is…dead? A god isn't even supposed to die, but I did?
