He kept struggling and calling out to Aphrodite to slow down the process so he could explain to his mom first but no matter how hard he called and pleaded he got no reply.
He then started to feel himself float, like he was being detached from his body, and at that point, he felt the invincible hold on his body release and he was able to move.
He quickly stood up and rushed to the door just as it was swung open to reveal the angry face of his mom.
"Hey, morning mom! Am up." Lucas said facing his mom as she stared at him.
"No need to be-" his words were cut off as he saw his mom walking towards him and his eyes widened in surprise.
She nearly walked into him and he had to move out of the way. 'Why is she acting like she can't see me?' he thought, he turned to stare at her as she moved up to his bed.
"Lucas!" He heard her scream out his name in anger.
"Am here Mom…" his voice drawled out in confusion as he walked towards her and came to a stop beside her close to his bed, he saw the most shocking thing of his life.
He was staring at himself!
'Am I dead? What is going on?" He screamed out franticly as he jumped on his bed and touched his body on the bed but his hand just seemed to pass through like he was now air.
He hopped off the bed and rushed to the floor-length mirror that was just beside his wardrobe and he was stunned.
He could not see his reflection.
"No no no! Did she trick me? Did she kill me?" His brain was in a tumor as he bent on his knee.
He looked up now to see his mother screaming for help as she frantically slapped his cheeks repeatedly.
"No no…." He murmured, he watched as she pushed on his chest trying to bring him back to life desperately as tears rolled down her eyes and she screamed.
His mother scanned his room and located his phone, taking it punching in the police code, and screaming into it for help.
Just then he felt a sharp pain in his head and he saw stars for a bit, but those felt small compared to the pain of seeing his mother cry and he didn't know when tears also dripped down from his eyes.
He watched his mother try chest compression and even dropped water on him, trying fantically to save him and he hurt even more at that. He had been selfish.
[ I am back! It seems the process is starting already you are beginning to disintegrate.] The excited voice of the goddess reached his ear again.
"Did I die? Would I ever be able to come back here?" His pain-filled voice choked out.
[ No you didn't die, you are just in a…yes coma. And no you can't come back but of course you can come back since you have a wish.] She responded unconcerned about the woman who was trying desperately to save her son.
He looked down at his hand to see it was no more, and his other hand was following suit.
[ Okay now your time is up! ]
He gazed at his mother Lovingly with a pain-filled gaze.
"I am a bad son Mom, but I promise I will be back just wait for me, hang in there-" His words were cut shut as half his face turned to glowing dust.
The last thing he saw was the door to his room bursting open as people in uniform rushed in and his mother hugging his body as her own body wracked with pain as she sobbed.
There there was darkness.
There was pain, lots of it.
His head pounded and his body felt like it was being sliced in pieces slowly and being roasted in a fire.
He struggled to open his eyes which felt like they both had been sewed shut.
Finally preying them open, he was met with an array of colors swaying in a mixture. There were purple black blue and red being the most prominent ones.
'Where am I?' he asked no one in particular as looked around in confusion, he felt like his body was dropping from a high altitude but he could not feel anything.
His eyes began to drop as sleep drew him into its embrace again and he couldn't even Munster the strength to fight it.

Lucas once again opened his eyes slowly, his body lacking strength and his head pounding.
His blurry vision began to clear, his body felt as though he had slumbered for twenty years, and he felt well-rested and strong but just a bit dizzy in his head.
His eyes roamed around his surroundings in awe. Everywhere he looked screamed of wealth.
He pushed his body up into a sitting position to have a proper view of the entire surroundings.
He was lying down on a very soft bed and had a piece of cotton cloth covering him.
His exploration was cut short by the door in the distance that was slammed open causing the walls to tremble.
"You are awake! Good, now we start your training!" Lucas looked up to see the woman from eairler walk into the room as her hourglass-shaped body and ample bosom bounced ever slightly under her revealing clothes. It was Aphrodite.
"What training are you talking about?" Lucas asked her as he gingerly removed the cloth over him to the side and brought his legs over to touch the ground.
He looked down to notice that his sleeping clothes had now been swapped for some kind of golden cotton material that felt soft and comfortable against his skin.
"That's the reason why I brought you here dummy." Moving like a swan she plopped on in a chair just opposite where he lay.
Lucas couldn't help but still follow her movements, to be honest, she was the most beautiful and seductive woman he had ever imagined.
"What kind of training is that?"
*Grumble!*
His tummy grumbled out loud in the silence of the room making him flush, embarrassed.
