Waking up Reginald found himself inside a house made of seemingly dried mud with wooden foundation.
Looking around there are tables filled with jars,mortars with pestle,herbs,fruits, colorful stones,and open books with diagrams in the pages.
Leaving the bed on where he is sitting, Reginald seem to be in the middle of the forest as he peered at the windows.
As the sound of the doors opening, Reginald turned his attention to Hecate who is now wearing robes dressed on her like what would the ancient Greeks would.
"You seem to be, much calmer now" says Hecate as she slowly approached Reginald.
"Well I can't learn anything if I stayed panicking, where am i?" Reginald explained as he ask the question.
"You are in the land ruled by the primordials, now the question is, what are you?" Hecate answered then questioned Reginald who got confused.
"What am I? I'm human obviously" Reginald replied confidently as if Hecate's stupid.
"Hmmm, so you are a human soul, and I disagree you're not human anymore" Hecate pensively put her hands on her chin as she handed Reginald a mirror.
"Oh yeah, Ohhh god!!! Oh no!!!! why did i get X-Men origin Deadpool make up!!! what blasphemy!!!" Reginald immediately yelled as he saw his face, who got neither nose,mouth,hair, and ears.
"you are supposed to be a new creature, my creation for the glory of my Lord Ouranos" Hecate as she watched Reginald who's cupping his face looking for the missing parts.
Reginald who regretfully run his hands all over his body, cannot feel his manhood as he looked down he saw he got no genitalia.
"Noooo!!!!!!! my soldier huhuhu" Reginald as he slump on his knees as he saw and double checked that he got neither penis and vagina.
"Huh? what do you mean your soldier?" Hecate bewildered by her creation sudden actions.
"My manhood!! you monster! why didn't you even include the most important part of being a living creature" Reginald yelled as he rubs the region between his legs.
"I see, you are a man in your past life, I admit i didn't foresee the need for molding the male reproductive parts, I apologise" Hecate say's as she tried to prop Reginald who's weeping for his lost manhood.
"Come on, once you got the power you'll be able to create one, one that you can even change, so stop crying" consoled Hecate as she pats Reginald's back.
"Re really?" Reginald as he looked up to Hecate.
"Yes, come get yourself up, I'll get you prepared so that we can go to the palace of the primordials located in the sky"Hecate say's as she rushed Reginald who stopped crying.
As Reginald sat on one of the stools Hecate say's "Your name will be Damianos, to commemorate my victory against the other competitors and also my victory against the mystery of creation"
"Alright?" Reginald unsure of about being called Damianos.
"So to turn your Barbaric mind to a civilized one, Hecate shall instruct you on the knowledge you have been lacking" Hecate droned as she launch a tirade on how her opponents never stood a chance.
{AN: Ancient Greeks called anyone barbaric to those who don't know their culture}
"Okay? what do you mean competition?" Reginald or rather Damianos ask to prevent Hecate from boasting too much.
"Ahhh, the competition was meant to find who will take up the responsibility of governing magic, Various wizards,sorcerer's,witches, and magicians have come far and wide to take the test, but it is i who overcome the mystery of creating sentient life from nothing,the winner and her creation shall be granted the reward of being a divine deity of magic and granted a place within the palace of the primordials" Hecate explained the competition on where she won.
"Now, I'm gonna present you before the Primordials and the Titans,So we better make you a civilized person not an uncouth barbarian" Hecate followed up with so much vigor that she rummage through her things to bring up educational material.
Reginald learned the following as Hecate taught him about this world and the kingdom which Ouranos ruled.
1.The Primordials were concepts given sentient life as such their power spanned as long as the concept where they came from is existing.
2.The Titans are the son's and daughters of the Primordials, their powers came from the combination of the Primordials power.
3.Giants, Hecatoncheires, and Cyclopes are the son and daughters of the Primordials, they are the less powerful but brutish relatives of the Titans.
4.The Kingdom of Ouranos is situated in the middle of the larger world, bordered in the south by the land called Kemet ruled by the Primordial of the order Amun Ra and the Primordial of chaos Apophis.
5.The Borders to the west and and north are Ruled by the nature spirits and faery kings.
6.The Borders of the east was ruled by the Primordial of the light Ahura Mazda and the Primordial of Darkness Ahriman.
8. Spirits in the kingdom of Ouranos are called Nymphs for nature spirits while the animals are called satyrs and taurs.
As Reginald/Damianos learned of it he could only say "Wow, there's a lot to digest"
"Yeah, if you also wished to travel, I suggest you avoid the south and the east, there's been a Primordial war between Ra and Apophis as well with Ahura and Ahriman" Hecate warned Reginald/Damianos of the threats that destroy him.
"I'll keep it in my mind, I remembered Ouranos said he'll give us Divinity, Do we already have it?" Damianos ask Hecate who pulled out a knife etched with runes.
"We have already gotten the gift, See" Hecate confirmed as the runes on the knife glowed and as she cut it across her skin producing golden ichors as it bleed out.
"Cool! can I already change my appearance?" Damianos excitedly ask.
"Not for the moment, no you don't have enough power yet"Hecate killing Damianos excitement.
"Booo! so when are we going to the palace?" Damianos changed the subject as he's still bitter about not having a penis.
"10 dawns from now, we have an audience to the Primordials and Titans, for the meantime I'll teach you all you have to know"Hecate say's to Damianos as she resumed teaching.
After 10 days Damianos wearing a black chiton together with Hecate who got all dressed up in a purple peplos with her hair adorned with flowers.
Teleporting Damianos almost stumbled when they land in a Marble pathway, Hecate supporting him whispered "Don't shame yourself please.."
After walking for a while, the Both of them came upon a Giant door made of Adamantine as taught by Hecate.
Guarding it are 2 Hecatoncheires clad in Adamantine armor and wielding all sort of gigantic weapons.
Taking a good look at Hecate and Damianos with their 50 heads the Hecatoncheires verified them.
As they confirmed they are the real Hecate and Damianos, The Hecatoncheires with great strength they both pushed the doors.
As it opened Damianos could see the insides is more gaudy and designed, as the Hecatoncheires finished opening the doors they were scooped by one of the hands as they were both carried inside.
Damianos trying his hard to stay compose was still nervously sweating that Hecate had to cast a cleansing spell on him again and again.
As they arrived in the Throne room, Damianos felt as if he's an ant, as he scanned his surrounding Damianos could see they were standing in a Cosmos inspired flooring or is it the literal space?
As Damianos turned his head towards the throne, He could see Ouranos seated in the center with Gaia at the left and Tartarus at his right.
Standing beside them was Eros,Erebos and Nyx, Further down at a steps were 12 Titans the males being Oceanus,Coeus,Kreios,Hyperion,Iapetus and Cronos.
While the female present are Rhea,Thea,Phoebe, Mnemosyne,Themis and Tethys.
And underneath them are the Gigantes/Giant tribes, Hecatoncheires tribes, and the Cyclopes tribes.
All of them composed of the court of Ouranos and ruled the land of Hellas, Damianos was elbowed by Hecate, getting her hint he also prostrated before the throne.
"I have gathered you here today, to witness the bestowal of gifts and rewards to the mortal Hecate and her creation"Ouranos thundering voice declared for all present to hear.
"You may bestow your gifts" Ouranos Followed up, as Gaia stood up and with rumbling steps she approached the Duo still prostrated on the ground.
"I give the both of you the protection of the earth and partial control of all of my domain" Gaia blessed them as as she waved her hand over them.
Damianos and Hecate felt the warm feeling wash over them as they glowed green for a second then returning to normal.
As Gaia returned back to her seat, Tartarus stood as Gaia sat and with crackling sounds he approached the Duo.
As he stopped before them, with a raspy voice he said "I gift the both of you the freedom to enter my domain and the protection from the horrors that sprouted in my lands"
Damianos and Hecate felt a slight shiver as they glowed Light red as Tartarus breathed at them.
after blessing them Tartarus crackled his way back to his throne as Eros proceeded to approach the Duo.
As he fluttered his way to the Duo he say's "I gift the both of you the power of love and unrivaled prowess in sex, may the both of you be prosperous"
Damianos and Hecate felt the air had been more amiable as the pink rays showered over them, Damianos feeling something new quickly glanced at his neither regions, only to find his Joy of having a penis grown on him.
Swearing in his heart to repay Eros, he saw Eros winked at him as he fluttered back to his place.
As Eros returned Erebos glided down to the duo in his shadows, Reaching them he says in his Deep and chilling voice "I gift the both of you the power to see through darkness and should you ever be in danger, Darkness will protect you"
Damianos and Hecate felt the shadows cover them smothering their visions then clearing up as if nothing ever happened.
Erebos glided back in his place as Nyx Approached the Duo with quiet and imperceptible steps.
As she approached them She say's "I gift the both of you partial authority over illness, suffering,dreams, misfortune, quarrels,war,sleep and death"
Damianos and Hecate felt a little uncomfortable as the glowed dark green.
With Nyx returned back to her place, Ouranos declared "The primordials have given their blessing, it's time for my Son's and Daughters to give their blessings to Hecate and her creation"
The first to Bestow their gifts to Hecate and Damianos was Oceanus who upon approaching while leaving pools of saltwater crackling with electricity.
Stopping in front of them Oceanus blessed them "I gift the both of you partial control over my domain Okeanus as well as it's denizens"
Damianos and Hecate felt the smell of seawater wash over them as Oceanus placed his hands over them.
Finishing his Blessing he returned to his spot, as he returned the next one to approach was Tethys who in her steps followed streams and rivers.
"I gift the both of you partial control of the rivers and streams as well as the bounty it gives" Say's Tethys as she hovered her hands over them.
Damianos and Hecate smelling the sweet smell of the rivers and stream felt in comfort as it washes over them.
As Tethys returned back to her place, Hyperion on his blinding visage approached the Duo.
"I gift the both of you partial power over the light so you may see your path clearly" Hyperion says as blinding light coated them.
Damianos and Hecate momentarily blinded didn't notice till Thea was in front of them.
Feeling the heat Damianos and Hecate was sweating as Thea blessed them "I gift you partial power over the flames of origin, thus you shall be immuned to all sort fire known to mankind"
As the heat rise inside them Hecate and Damianos was pretty nervous and as the heat dies they regained their composure.
As Thea left leaving molten footsteps,Two Titans approached them.
They were Coeus and Phoebe, as they stopped before the Duo, Coeus being the first to speak "I gift the both of you wisdom and foresight and the abilities of the Oracle" and as soon as he finished Phoebe spoke "I gift the both of you the power to speak prophecy's and intellect"
As they both held their hands over Damianos and Hecate, the Duo felt something is forcing their way through their minds as they subtly cradle their heads to ease the pain.
As the 2 Titans returned to their place Kreios approached his body consisting of stars as he stopped before us he greeted Hecate "Hello, my daughter"
Which illicited a reaction for those present, Ouranos commanded in the thunderous voice "Silence!!"
"Explain yourself Kreios" Ouranos commanded which Kreios replied"Father, I have not given her any divine nor assistance for the competition"
Ouranos turning to Themis who answered "He speak of the truth father, he had not helped to mortal"
"I see, then continue, I do not want any interruption of this ceremony" Ouranos said as he wave his hands.
turning his attention to us Kreios blessed us "I gift the both of you complete control over magic as well as partial control over the stars and constellation"
Hecate who's been shocked at the revelation while Damianos felt something seep in his body.
Returning to his place Kreios looks at us with fondness while Mnemosyne approached as and blessed "I gift the both of you the ability of Eidetic memory and the protection against those who would steal or peek at your memories"
Damianos and Hecate felt their minds being soothing calmed as the blessing headed towards them.
As Mnemosyne returned back to her place, Iapetus approached them and blessed " I gift the both of you the ability of craftsmanship and partial power over the power of creation"
As the power washed over them Damianos and Hecate felt that they could make anything they imagined.
As Iapetus returned back to his place, Themis approached the Duo with the scales on her hand she blessed them "I gift the both of you the power of Divination and partial omniscience"
As the blessing washed over them Damianos and Hecate both felt a whipslash from the torrent of information due to the partial omniscience calming themselves and with the use of Mnemosyne blessing they took control of it.
Themis Returning To her place as the scales clink at each step.
Cronos the youngest of the Titans approached them Damianos peeking a little saw Cronos looking a lot like Bruce Willis tried to suppress his giggle as the Titan stopped before them.
"I gift the both of you the Strength, stamina, endurance,and the resilience to withstood the ravages of time" As the blessing washed over them.
Damianos and Hecate felt the surge of power filling every recess of their bodies.
"Representatives of each tribe's present your oaths as a gifts" Ouranos commanded as the chiefs of each faction presented themselves.
The Gigantes went first as they took an oath to aid Damianos and Hecate wherever they can.
The Cyclopes went second with an Oath to teach them the finer works of mining and metallurgy.
The Hecatoncheires went last with an oath to teach them the art of fighting and warfare as well as to defend them in case an outsider ever attack.
As the bestowal of gifts was finished Ouranos declared " Now let's welcome the Governor of Magic and her aide "
Ouranos followed up with a question "What is your name creature?"
"Name's Damianos my Lord" Damianos replied respectfully.
"Well then let's welcome Hecate and her aide Damianos to our midst" Ouranos declared as all present clapped their hands.
unknown to Damianos this would only be the start of his journey.
