5 Chapter 5 – Relief in Completion (2/2)

Reaching a consensus on the plan the three took out a drop of life origin water each and began experimenting. They first made a whole body with the drops. It remained stable for a minute but dispersed back into three droplets soon after. They then started lowering the scale to determine how much each drop would be able to create in the body. They tried making just the head, a limb, the skeletal structure and finally just a heart before succeeding.

”Three drops of life origin water for just a tiny heart.” If it wasn't for the Fearsome aura that their powers exuded. All three brothers would not be able to hide the despair they felt at the moment. They internally felt as if someone had chopped away and stolen a liver from them.

It should be known that a single drop of life origin water, was capable of completely healing the wounds of a god at the verge of death, instantly. It was one of the most precious life-saving commodities that one could have and it was being used to make a body for a mortal. How could they not lament at their loss?

It was too late to complain and having comprehended how much water was required to complete their objective the three men took out a quarter of the droplets in their vials and got to work immediately. They were warrior gods! Even if they had to cut off their own limb they would do it, if the situation called for it. This was nothing compared to the weight of their words.

Soundlessly they put together the water and gave the order for the body to form. To avoid any other mishaps they started to pull together the surrounding magitoms as well. A crystal-like an infant body was formed around the orb like soul. The surrounding mist like magitoms that were pulled in started being sucked into the body unendingly. As the soul started to meld with the body, beginning to take shape. The magitoms in the surrounding were pulled to it like a magnet.

The three gods stepped back in shock at the sight. The body was like an insatiable black hole for magitom. Winds were pushed up in the hall and the torches began to flicker before going out all together.

Eventually, everything settled down. The torches were re-lit and before everyone laid a floating sleeping infant. Skin that resembled Eros's, pale but with a charm that was undeniable. Small and plump it wiggled a bit in its sleep.

”Ahh! It is soo cute!” Athena was the first to run up to it and take it in her arms. She coddled the little thing as if it was the most fragile thing she had ever held. Artemis followed and started playing with its little hand. Putting her finger on its small palm and giggling every time that it would squeeze.

Aphrodite and Tyche came over and seeing how cute the baby was, they joined in and started playing with it a bit too.

The boys wanted to join too, but how could they get past the excited women. They could only come over and hope that they could get a few glimpses of it.

”what shall we name this little one?” Aphrodite brought up the topic that all of them were thinking about.

”He is a boy so something heroic would be best!” Artemis chimed in.

”He already has a name. He is called Adam. Adam Emeraldes!” Athena had read his memories. She knew everything about his past, so how could she not know his name.

”Emeraldes… like emeralds. How about this, sister Tyche, let's give him eyes as if emeralds! It'll be our little gift to this cute little one.” Aphrodite was enamoured by this child's likeness to her own son. She really wanted to give it something before it was sent to the mortal world. Thus, she came up with this idea.

Seeing the look in Aphrodite's eyes and then looking at the child in her arms. She could not bring up the notion of rejecting the idea. ”Fine. Only this once. I shall bless him with eyes that are unerring. Should no false pretences ever beguile him.” Waving her palm over the top of the child's eyes she began chanting. The language that she used only further intensified the feeling one felt when she usually spoke. Anyone listening to her chanting would feel a cool refreshing feeling flowing through them, as well as feel bogged down as if they were running in circles in muddy water at the same time.

Coming to a stop she placed her palm down on its face. Satisfied with her work she pulled the child in closer and started caressing its face.

”Sister Tyche actually likes the child. Hahaha” the sly voice of Aphrodite teased.

Afraid that the ladies would get attached to the child. Zeus harrumphed to quiet down the room and then spoke ”Enough! You have even blessed the child. No more! Pass it over, I shall send him down.”

”Hmm,” Poseidon nodded.

”Just send it away already.” Hades had taken on too many losses because of this child. All three of the brothers, though they did not show it, just wanted this episode to be done with.

Before the ladies could even speak up to protest. The child was already in Zeus's hands.

With a slight nod to the skies a wind kicked up and the baby slowly floated up from his hand. ”Send it down.” With a quiet little order to the winds, the child was swiftly carried out of the hall and sent to the lower realms.

Turning towards his two brothers he spoke shaking his head ”Lets never talk about this matter again. Luckily we shall never have to see that mortal ever again.” As he said that he felt an ominous premonition. 'what was that?' Hoping that it was a figment of his imagination, he walked back to the group.
