Chapter 25 A Man or someone else

"How has been looking into the incident Claire,"

Shai wanted to check on her after the meeting with Judy, Claire glanced at her having a lot on her mind, and having Shai check on her was kind. 

"I was just getting finished," 

"Good," Shai let out,

She walked behind her having her head on Claire's shoulder. Claire smiled while Shai had her conversation with Eurus in her head, 

"How was dealing with Eurus?" 

"He already knew and by the time you were done he figured out what might have happened to you this morning," 

Claire hummed at her while having the information from Judy, downloaded for her to read, 

"If that is the case then let me tell him Shai," Claire asked 

Shai got off of her shoulder, "Go for it..." 

Shai is cut off by her hand glowing gold, with faint voices yelling at each other. 

"Why did you do that to her? It was on time, and now we have to talk with them to help her with the task!" 

A large crash can be heard, 

"There was no choice," 

"Yes, there was! Let her figure it out on her own, but no. She had to go through harsh pain just because you thought it was best," 

"Because it was. I saw through multiple timelines and saw that almost every one of them had her killed," 

"Why do you trust these timelines? Over and over again, they have been proven to be problematic. You know that sometimes it doesn't come true." 

Shai moved away from Claire, holding her head falling into the wall and sliding down it hearing the voice continue to argue,

"Sometimes. They don't, but I would rather her be prepared than anything," 

"That won't make up for what you have done. She now has to deal with more than helping this dimension," 

"I think you mean realm," 

"Don't you correct me!" 

Shai felt their voice muffled as Claire was in front of her trying to get her attention, Claire grabbed onto her shoulder and saw Shai´s veins glowing gold,

"Shai," 

Claire shook her, but it did nothing Shai just slumped onto the floor cradling her head,

"I won't have to correct you... What have you done,"

"Something that needed to be done,"

"It's foolish,"

"No, what's foolish is that you think that I wouldn't have found out,"

"You weren't supposed to find out I must help her, but you had to find out what I'm doing,"

"You don't know my reasoning to..."

"Enough!" 

The room shook as the two stopped their arguing, Shai let go of her head and opened her eyes, she now sat in the room she appeared in before where the shelves were still filled with the books from before now one rested on its own. The complete history of Greek mythology. 

"I'm here again," Shai let out 

She slowly got up from the floor, Shai looked around, having an off presence familiar to her draw closer to her however, she moved closer to it calling out, 

"I know you both are here," 

Shai waited for them to respond and felt a pain hit her legs, Shai placed a hand on her knee letting out a frustrated sigh, 

"And here I thought today would have been good," 

She leans on the shelves as one of the figures yells out, "Shai?" 

She looked in that direction and tried to walk to it, not her knee almost gave out on her, and fought herself on the shelf,

"Dammit," 

"It wasn't hurting before?" Shai said 

"Shai where are you," the figure said

"I'm in the same area as the chairs," 

She heard something drop behind her. Shai heard footsteps near her when something appeared behind her, casting a shadow on her, Shai felt dread in her soul as she tried to figure out how to get out of this situation... again. 

"You are the one Athena mentioned," 

Shai felt a hand placed on her shoulder and turned her around to face, a man with white hair and a beard smiling down at her. Shai felt her anxiety kick in but one of the figures turned around the corner. 

"Shai," 

They stopped seeing a man in front of Shai having a hand on her shoulder. The figure rushed up to them and placed his hand on the man, saying, "I would advise that you let her go," 

The man stares at the figure with a raised brow, but the figure seems familiar to him, and lets it slide, 

"Do I remember you from somewhere?" He asked 

Shai pushes away both of their hand and grabs a shelf, moving away from them both. the man was surprised by her moving away, but not the figure, 

"You should, I'm the one that talked with you about the prophecy," The figure said 

The man hummed in deep thought,

"I could have sworn I'd met him earlier than that," 

While the man thought about that Shai moved further away from them, she pressed her hand onto her leg and looked down at it feeling it burn, 

"What the hell is wrong with me now?"

Shai bent down and lifted her pants leg, the gold in her hand through her veins now went into her leg. Shai let the fabric slip out of her grip,

"It happened again,"

The man was still talking to the figure,

"I didn't mean to scare the poor girl. I just wanted to see what Athena talked about,"

"I understand that but me and my, "

The figure scoffs.

"My coworker has agreed to give her a break,"

"That means you showed her the prophecy, Yes?"

The man stares at him anticipating his answer, the figure knows that the man in front of him will find out soon, but not now.

"Yes, she does know of the prophecy that we wanted to give her... "

His voice muffled as the man discovered a new energy, a stronger energy. he looked behind the figure who was talking to him and saw Shai. Is that her name? Having her pants leg up with her veins now glowing, the man looked back at the figure,

"She has the signs already?"

The figure quickly turned around and caught what he was looking at, He went up to Shai,

"Shai?"

"It happened again,"

Shai felt her arm give away, the figure tried to catch her but couldn't and she fell.

"You are not paying attention to her?"

The figure took hold of Shai stopping her from falling, he glared at him while lifting Shai,

"I was dealing with something else, "

"What could have been more important than,"

"Is she ok?"

The figure felt Shai place her weight on him, while the man in front of them looked at Shai worried.

"That's what I'm handling," He told the other figure,

The figure looked at the man in front of them, before staring down at Shai,

"Shai?"

Shai looked at him, she felt her legs burn like her hands did, it felt like she could melt away.

"The veins burn,"

The figure who is holding Shai sent glares at him,

"I knew it would get worse with time,"

He walked over to them taking her other arm, Shai looked shocked as the man made the chairs move on their own with a table in the middle of them,

"Why don't you set her down,"

They helped Shai to her seat and sat her down, she leaned back into the chair. Now off her feet, she felt better,

"This should help with the pain,"

She opened her eyes and a blue drink was placed in front of her, the man sat down in front of her having a drink of his own, Shai watched the drink sparkle and swirl as the figure and the other figure sat down, 

"What is this drink?" Shai asked 

"It is composed of water mixed with electrolytes," He smiles 

"It will help with the pain," 

Shai moved to take a sip with the figure asking the man, "When did Athena mention Shai to you?" 

"Five Days ago," He muttered 

"Five days ago?" The other figure whispered 

The figure glanced at him, remembering how angry he was... is. he looked back at the man while Shai took a sip of the drink, 

"She has warned me of Shai," 

Shai felt her body start to tingle with the pain increasing,

"Why would she warn you of Shai, I have done what had to be done for the..." 

"No, you haven't," The other figure interrupted 

The figure glared at him while the man laid his chin in his hand, 

"The timeline needed to be true,"

"What if that timeline is false? What if you put her through that..."

"Jeez, you both fight like two young women over a man," Shai cut him off, 

They turned to her,

"What do you mean by that, Shai!" the other figure yelled 

"Don't be so brash about this Shai," The figure said 

Shai turned to the man, seeing the same expression on his face as she had, She took another sip of her drink feeling a burn before she felt the pain lessen.

"You both keep arguing while this poor guy,"

She pointed at him 

"A long with me has to suffer listening to it, I don't feel anger for what you did," Shai said 

She looked at the figure before she turned to the man, she held out her hand, 

"Im Shai Aqua," 

He sat up and looked at her sternly, 

"It's nice to meet you Shai," 

He took hold of her hand and shook her hand. 

"I am Zeus,"
