Chapter 40 - Prometheus (1/2)

Chris once again walked in front of the statue.

”Prometheus!” Chris shouted. The room started to shake and Chris quickly ran back to where Kristine and Hermione was.

”I think we got it right,” Chris said.

”I've never heard of someone potentially dying because they answered a question right!” Kristine said. ”The room feels like it's about to collapse at any second,”

”Look, the statue, it's starting to fall apart,” Hermione said.

The statue was forming cracks and soon the chains broke. Then the statue started to crumble as if it was shedding. Soon the statue was completely destroyed leaving only pieces. The room stopped shaking.

”Is-Is it over?” Hermione asked.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man jumped out of the pieces of limestone where the statue was.

The three of them screamed in surprise. The man that popped out of the limestone rubble had a beard that reached his stomach and had no clothes on.

”Ok, girls time for you two to look back,” Chris said as he forced Hermione and Kristine to look the other way. ”Don't look here until I say so alright,”

”Alright,” Hermione and Kristine said simultaneously confusedly.

Chris turned back to the man who was now stretching.

”You said my name. I'm Prometheus. I suppose you can call me a god of fire, but I love to be called a god of trickery since you know it's my thing. Well I'm not really a god but rather a titan. They're two different things,” Prometheus said. ”And yes, Hermione I believe was the name, you were right with my legend. I'm surprised someone as young as you know about me. From what I remember, kids your age used to only know how to play outside and bother their mother for some food. And don't point that weapon at me. Your magic won't even scratch me even if you tried for decades,”

Chris tried to look at Prometheus' stats, but other than his name, everything else was left with question marks.

”Why were you trapped here Lord Prometheus,” Chris asked.

'Better to call him Lord. Who know whether he'll get triggered if I call him only by his name with no honorific,' Chris thought.
