Chapter 3 - Connect 1.3

After this is posted I will also release this on web novels. In true honors of the crack-fic Genre Let the info dump begin. To let you know there are 13 pantheons in smite now the most she will be getting from each pantheon are three maybe four if I'm feeling like it (some smite pantheons only have one god and so not all gods are on-site). Two will be her minor domains and 1 major. She would have domains like the god/ goddess she has with her. If you don't understand this chapter may shine a light on what I mean. I tried to separate the paragraphs differently compared to before. What do you guys think? Should I keep it the same or change it?

"Well… parahuman isn't the right word that I would use to describe what you are." A familiar voice said out of nowhere frightening me.

"Athena is that you?" I said aloud.

"Yes, young one it is I."

"what are you doing here. I thought you couldn't come here. Pandora said something about rules keeping you from interfering with other dimensions." I questioned

"Normally that is true, but rules do have loopholes. Just as he was able to use you as a Champion, we can interact with you and your world through you as our chosen one." As she said that I felt a sudden urge to smile. "Sadly, we are not able to stay here long, no more than three days. If we stay longer, we may be noticed." She said with a tinge of fear in her voice.

As she said this, I felt a sense of fear wash over me. 'If she as a goddess is bound to such a limited time and sounds fearful to whatever it is that's keeping the rules what will happen to me if I accidentally broke one?'

Feeling my fear, she said, "Worry not a young one, as a native of this world the rules that bind me to not affect you." As she said this I smiled.

"For now, we don't have much time. You should have awoken yesterday. And today marks the second So you will have to keep up with me." As she said that I remembered Zeus. She had the same demeanor as him.

"Are you related to Zeus I asked her" she looked at me puzzlingly. "You both have the same… Feeling? As each other. It's hard to explain" She smiled at me unnervingly. "He is my father. And we do not have enough time for this. As I said we only have 2 days to get you accustomed to what you need to know. Get dressed your father should be here shortly and you should leave with him. There isn't much we can do here."

Taylor

As I finished putting on me clothe, I heard a knock on the door. {A/n: One of the lucky ones that never really went to a hospital for anything other than routine checkups and I only get private rooms for those who Taylor will get a Private room too. Plus look what she went thru so… Yeah, my choice} "Hey, Taylor can I come in?" I hear my father's voice. "I'm not alone, I have two agents from the PRT with me."

As he said that I felt fearful. Afraid that they might find out that I'm a parahuman and try to-. I couldn't even finish that thought before I realized that they should not have any proof that I am a parahuman. I didn't show any signs at school or have I shown any here. I felt weirdly calm as the words left my mouth. "come in" As they entered, they introduced themselves.

"I am Agent May, this is agent Josh," she said pointing at the man next to her.

He was tall, maybe my dad's height. He had a smile that said he practiced this in the mirror every day.

He was a hollow man.

"We are from the PRT. Usually when something as traumatic as what happened her occur It may lead to trigger events." Agent May said.

"Do agents usually go to all situations like this? If so, why haven't we heard more about this?" I asked

It was Josh that answered the question "Where are situations like these that would make the PRT step in. But you wouldn't hear about this on the news and you may be able to catch it rarely on the PHO But that only if you're on it at the right time. Most of the time people are looking more for the 'big' stories like who Miss Militia is dating" After that, they both looked at me to see if were to ask another question. Seeing that I won't they continued

"Do you know what a Trigger event is Mr. and Ms. Hebert?"

After that, it was a blur of back and forth confrontation that I don't care to mention.

~~~~~~ {A/N: so many breaks in this story huh? You may want to pay attention to this part to not get lost.} ~~~~~~~

Taylor

It was almost night when we got home. As I sat in my bed, I was honestly amazed. Not the conversation between the agents and my dad but by how everything felt different. As the agents talked, they started to give subtle hints that they seem to be hiding, or at least they were trying to hide.

'Did I become smarter? Am I a thinker now?' I thought

"Close. That is my-Our Domain. Stop thinking about yourself as a parahuman you are not. At this point you are more, you are a Demi-human Half god Half human. My father told you before so allow me to clarify. But first" She said. "Allow me to fully and properly introduce myself. I am Athena goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill." When she said all those, I thought 'that's quite a handful'

"You do realize I am reading your mind right? That is very rude to talk about another god's domain like that." She said in an angry voice

At that, I practically yelped in fear "Sorry, it's just that it's a lot of things to have."

"Well, its true sister. Not many gods will want so many domains" Another voice said while trying to hold her snickering.

The voice continued "since my sister introduced herself in such a fashion, I should do the same. No?"

The voice paused before continuing "I am Artemis, Goddess of the hunt, forests and hills, the Moon, and archery."

As she said this it was like my mind went into overtime… it was a Eureka moment. It all started to fit together. Why the PTR became involved in a bully situation. It was simply a Ward was involved either directly or indirectly. Then it came to me, Shadow Stalker. I mean whatever ward that did this had to be one that is either aggressive if involved directly or manipulative if involved indirectly. Based on what I have researched from Ward's official website and the PHO it can't be one of the previous candidates or more of the negative types of behaviors would know not to mention that most of the team has been together for months. The only one that it can be is a shadow stalker.

For months the PHO has been saying that shadow Stalker (SS) has been killing people. They say that she may have a juvie record or worse.

"It all makes sense," I thought said while staring at my Alexandria Poster. "shadow stalker is Sophia Hess."

"It seems your Domain is finally showing its self." Said Artemis

"What do you mean, I know you said I'm a demi-human but how can I have a domain?" I asked

Artemis answered, "When you first met our father, he told you that your body is getting used to the 'godly energy'. This energy is what helps us maintain our Domains. Depending on what god each pantheon sends to follow you your domain either grows, diversifies, or added to."

Athena then said, "grab an extra sheet, a pillow that you may not need again, and your mom's broken flute." She said "you may never see it again Taylor. I give you this warning." She said with a frown" At times, Great power requires sacrifice."

At that, I gathered the materials "go to the basement. We don't want to mess up your room."

On my way down I saw my dad sleeping in front of the tv probably tired from staying in the hospital to watch over me for so long.

"you'll have to tell him sooner or later," Artemis said

"It's better to tell him sooner." Athena Finished.

Ignoring them I went to the basement. I know what they are telling me is true, but I can't think about that right now. I quickly made a detour to his room and grabbed a sheet to cover him with before I continued my way to the basement.

Once I reached there Athena Said, "As you first guide, I will show you how to find you 'path'. A path is another way of saying your Domain."

"How many domains can I hold?" I asked

"As many that are yours. Many gods don't choose what domain they hold. The Domains choose the gods." When she said this, I was surprised because I thought it was the other way around. "gods can choose their domains. But only if a god is strong enough too. Like my father and uncles"

"Now. Back to your Path", she said "Take the broken flute and place it above your pillow. Once that's done lay down and focus on yourself. The godly energy will make it easier to find the way"

As she said this, I had a tear in my eyes. This is the memento of my mother. One of the few I still have for her. As I thought this, I had a moment of hesitation before Artemis suddenly said, "A journey starts with one step, if this is all it takes you to stop then you have much to learn."

At that, I regained my resolve and placed the flute down. Once I lay down, I heard Athena's voice "Close your eyes" she said as I did "Think about nothing but yourself and my voice. Nothing else matter" as she said this I slowly felt as if the world is falling out of place and at the same time, I felt something warm. It was unlike anything I ever felt.

She continued "Do you feel that warm energy, coursing through your body."

"Yes." I answered, "It feels amazing like I can do anything with it."

She quickly said "don't let it control you, you control it. It is in your body, so it is yours. Never forget that and never let anyone else say otherwise." As she said that she had a tinge of sadness in her voice.

She then continued "The mind, body, and soul work as one. But certain things can only be done in certain areas. Like how a body cannot usually touch a soul, without certain requirements." she started

"where is the energy in your body Flowing Taylor?"

"It's going to my head, my mind," I said

"Follow it. But don't get lost in the feeling of power it brings, just as you almost did." She stated

"OK," I answered as I followed the flow into my mind

What I saw next surprised me. I never thought something this breathtaking could be within me. It was a golden thrown room with fourteen symbols. As I looked at the symbols, I subconsciously said them out loud. Arthurian, Celtic, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, Hindu, Japanese, Mayan, Norse, Polynesian, Roman, Slavic, Voodoo, and Yoruba gods. Each has their areas.

As I look over to the Greek symbol, I saw that it glowed with it, unlike the others. Not only that but it had chairs under than with the statue of Artemis and Athena sitting in them and the center one empty. As I looked around, I noticed that in the center of the whole room was golden that was on a higher-level throne that all the symbols seem to be pointing towards.

Suddenly the statues of Athena and Artemis moved. They both looked to me and smiled. "This is your throne room. This is where all your domains reside. As well as where you may come to speak to each pantheon through your guides." Said Artemis.

Athena then pointed towards the center of the room. Just in front of the golden throne a slam area that had what looks like runes. "sit in the middle" she said.

As I sat down, she then continued "The domains that you have will be greatly influenced depending on the god or goddess each pantheon gives you." She smiled happily at me

"Think about that moment that you figured out who SS was. Not how you felt to gain the knowledge but how you felt While getting it." Ok, I said as I felt the godly energy gather around me.

"What do you feel. What is it telling you." She said as I bit my lips "Don't be afraid to say it out loud. What is it? What Domain do you feel?" as she said these words it was as if the universe made sense.

"I feel movement... no continuation... as if I should always be moving like how my mom always wanted me to never look back. There's something else I feel as if… no, I know what to do now. It all makes sense." I said as the lights brighten Typhon

"I can feel something deeper than those though it feels dark but warm and welcoming. I feel so much more. I can feel them separately." I exclaimed "I feel your Athena but mine is different. Mine is more of… yes, it's giving me knowledge."

"What type of Knowledge is it giving you Taylor. Just as Tinkers have their specialty so do us gods. What is your Taylor? Look deeper." She said

So, I dove deeper into the already overwhelming power. "The Domains, the Domains are Evolutionary Knowledge and Overlord," I said as the glow Shines even more

Then from deep within me, I said: "Είμαι ο Τάυλορ ο υπερπηγός των Τροχών και ο μικρός θεός της εξελικτικής γνώσης (I am Taylor the overlord of Monsters and the minor god of evolutionary knowledge)." Then all I know was black

~~~~~~~~~~~ {Chapter done} ~~~~~~~

A/N I'm going to make a separate area in the info section or in the case of web novels a diff chapter to explain the domains and what they do.

also, I'm, not an author and I wrote a 2.5k chapter... I'm feeling so good right now
