I was standing there, in awkward silence, and they were sitting there too, in awkward silence. Then Pan came up and hugged me. "Thank goodness they found a new Gaia! I was so worried! I'm so excited now! Yayz!" He squealed. I half-hugged him and was wondering if he was sane, when Helios said, "Sorry. He is only a tad bit hyper and not even a quarter mad." They all laughed. Pan made a pouting face and said, "Helios, I'm not mad! I'm just happy!" Then Pan himself started laughing. I bit my lip. There was no way that I was going to get used to this. They were all gorgeous and I was just...me. There wasn't anything special about me. I just had the powers of the Earth, not that I knew how to use them. "Hey, Gaia come here." Ceto said. I went over to her and sat down where she pointed. "Look at this and tell me if you think it's cute, okay? Be honest." I nodded. She cupped her hands, and a light swirled around them. Eventually, there was this white, glowing, little, fuzzy creature in her hands. "It's sooo cute Ceto! I love it!" She smiled. "Thanks, I love when people love my creations." Then, it started to neigh like a horse and she made it disappear. I didn't even know what I could do. I was Mother Earth, so do I have her powers? Her powers of nature? I had a strong sense that their was a tornado in Kansas, a thunderstorm in Idaho, New York, London, England, and California. Well, that's cool. I knew about them at least. Then, someone clapped right in my face. "Hello, Gaia? Hellooo? Hello?" It was Alectrona. "Giver her a rest, Alectrona. She just became the Mother Earth. Remember way back when you became a Goddess of the sun and how strange it was?" It was Helios. Alectrona sat back down. "Yeah, I guess." I sighed. I was very tired all of a sudden. "Hey guys, could you show me to my room? Athena said you would know where it is..." Then Helios came to me and said, "Come, your room is next to mine." Everybody said a good-bye and I said to all of them a good-bye too. I was super tired. Helios led me through the hallways and I wondered if I could ever find my way back to that place. No be strong! You can find your way around, Sammy, it just might take a couple of years. Even though I was trying to cheer myself up, my goal hadn't been successful. Helios stopped in front of some walls...made of cloud? I went forward to touch them, and they were soft, yet really sturdy and firm. "I know what you're thinking, clouds made of wall? Are they insane? Well, no we aren't. Like they feel, they are sturdy and firm and no one can see through them." I gave him a grateful look for telling me that and he led me through the hallway until a door named Helios appeared, and a door with Gaia on the front of it next to Helios' door. I opened my door to find a light switch with a dark and light setting. I switched it to dark to find it completely dark like night and I looked at the ceiling to see stars. I flicked the lightswitch back to normal and looked around the room. There was a closet, a minifridge, a bedside table, and a bed. There was a bookshelf across the room with books already in it, and a desk with a chair. "It's not what you expected, huh?" I turned in surprise to see Helios standing in the doorway, and found myself a little ways in my room already. Helios had brown hair, and looked beautiful. I couldn't make out much of his features right now because of fatigue, but he sure had muscles. "Yeah, it's not." He came over kissed my head, said, "Sleep, my dear Gaia," and left, shutting the door and flicking the light switch to night. I blushed. I had never before had a guy kiss my head, or even my hand like Apollo. Hell, I never even had a boyfriend. I was considered a loner and outcast back home, for I was pretty shy. Well, I wasn't that shy here-just nervous. I slumped onto my bad, still sitting, and took of the sandals that had come with my outfit. I laid my head down on the pillow and was instantly out.
I dreamt of a guy, long black hair flowing to his knees, in a black robe. He looked around 22. "Ah, hello Gaia. I didn't expect you so soon. How was your day?" I stood there wondering who the hell he was and why he was in my dreams. I just wanted to sleep. Though, I felt like I knew him. He then said, "Oh, sorry you must be wondering who I am. I am Chronos, and I have always served the Earth Goddess. It is nice to meet the new Gaia." He bowed, and I bowed in response. "Oh please, Goddess, do not bow to me. I am not worthy." I laughed. "You
