"You're finally here Herran, I've been waiting for you"

I raise an eyebrow

As soon as he turns around I see several tattoos on his body with symbols

intricate and having connection all over your chest

'Waiting for me?'

"I'm sorry sir, but I can't understand why a God like me would wait for me"

He let out a laugh as if he understood something

"Because you are different, I feel something in you"

His eyes rose towards the beautiful sky that was around us as his voice sounded a little sadder.

"To be honest, I didn't have my eye on you, but from the moment I noticed you I felt like you reminded me of myself."

He stopped for a moment as he wrinkled his nose

"I'm not going to fool you with heroic speech, I know you're smart enough to know if I would want to manipulate you and I also know you don't trust the gods"

'He takes me high...what's the word?'

When he interrupts my thoughts with an amused voice

"Expectation?"

'can he read thoughts?'

One corner of your mouth turns up

"No, how could gods read minds?"

I cry with shame for being caught in the act

I look in his direction to know which god he is

"I'm sorry sir..."

he seems to get the message when he winks and smiles

"Ah I'm sorry, I've been lonely for a while so I forgot to introduce myself, I'm the God of many things, Lugh, it's a pleasure, herran"

When I saw him stretch out his hand to greet me, my eyes widened.

'But the teacher said the Gods don't like to touch us'

When he calmly pulls my arm up and shakes my hand, I feel calluses on his hands as if he's been practicing something for a very long time.

He looks amused again as he examines me

"I can read your mind, and yes the gods don't like physical contact with humans, but I'm different from those petty people, a king has to be wise enough to not separate his people, regardless of wealth or status"

'he's awesome, my god I got lucky'

"Really hahaha,

but not just you, me too, as I said before you remind me of me when I was younger, I have some regrets so I want to do something for you my son"

My eyes lit up

"Do I remember you?"

"Yes, hahaha I never get tired of it, but with some differences, I had someone there for me when I needed it most, he saved me and taught me combat, everything that made me great, so I want to do the same for you,"

he took a deep breath and closed his eyes as his expression fell

"Our time is running out, so I'm going to make my proposal"

Fear crossed my face

'What will be the price?'

"That's your question?"

I widen my eyes

'I'm very stupid'

"No, it's not sir, sorry to interrupt"

"You're not stupid, wise people often question things they don't understand"

he smiled affectionately as he continued his monologue

"Well, I am the God of many things, so some aspects are imposed that can disrupt your plans, for example, I am the god of promises, so from the moment you accept the contract, any promise you have already made It will have to be fulfilled, no matter your will or your feelings, do you understand that?"

As I feel your gaze analyzing me, I start trying to remember all the promises I've already made, but due to nervousness my mind goes blank.

'there goes nothing'

"I understand, sir, and ignore my thoughts, please, sir"

"Well, you'll be stuck for my 7 labors too, but you're not strong enough to do them yet so don't worry about it now."

"On the other hand, you will inherit all my talents, but cultivating them will only depend on you, and I won't tell you anything about them either, because I want you to prove your greatness, that's how we did it in the past and the work will also be about that"

Waiting for me to think he smiled when he realized my mind was made up

"Deal done?"

while stretching out his hand he said

I shook his hand and accepted

"With pleasure sir"

"HAHAHA IT'S A NEW ERA, it's been a while since I've been reincarnated, I just want to see the faces of those little ones"

Remembering that I was there, he stopped his gaze on me when out of nowhere several weapons circulated between the two of us as if we were Saturn and the weapons were the ring.

"One moment"

As I looked at his hands approaching the weapons, as if they were the extension of his arm, there was a strong light that made me close my eyes, when I opened them all the weapons disappeared and there was only a golden spear

Shining with an ethereal golden aura,

He looked at me and raised an eyebrow, his tiara and all those diamonds making me feel small

"Ask your question Herran, we won't see each other for a long time"

"I'm sorry for the abuse but why sir?"

"You really liked me, son, well I'm going to try my best to hide the fact that I chose someone to give you a break but I don't know if I'll be able to for long"

Closing his expression while pointing the spear towards me he said

"Herran, do you, as a human, freely and spontaneously accept to be my representation and sword?"

Kneeling down while lowering my head, I raised my hand without looking up and grabbed the spear by the tip while feeling the pain of the spear cutting in my hands.

"I will be your sword and representation god lugh,"

"Ask your question Herran"

"How can I discover my purpose?"

"Was that it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you're interesting boy"

Seeming to think while looking at the horizon, he stopped for a while and looked at me.

"Come here son"

I get closer to him when I feel his palm on my head and my mind starts to fade.

I hear your voice for the last time before I feel a severe headache

"Goodbye my son, be strong, build your future"

I start to scream in pain

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

while I see all these images in my head

The village that was my home is on fire, blood everywhere when I see Victor without his arms while crying in front of someone's body

I see humans outside together with wolves, when I am pulled into the middle of the forest a little far from the village, when I see Hermódio dead at my feet

'I'm in hell, this can't be true, I'm going to kill I'm going to go I'm going to go, why do you always take everything from me?'

I feel my chest burn with anger when everything goes dark
