Progress?

None

Three decades past and still no progress Hekate sighed throwing her arms up commented, “All we have done is slept together! Nothing has worked!” “But you could say we have bonded together...” I spoke winking, “Like rabbits!” “Well you could say it grew stronger!” she laughed before stopping in her thoughts lowered the meat down, “What? What?” “Be quiet a moment!” she thought about it before looking at her darker golden lines that had been bugging her for ages on why stated, “That’s it!” “What?” “I couldn’t originally find a a way to access you and over times it has gotten easier!” “And?” “Don’t you see? We are bonded together...look at our tainted markings!” she prepared a drink before grinding in the flowers, herbs and other plants mixed it into the solution, “What is this?” “A sleeping tonic!” “For?” “I reckon I can now manually repair your mind, it will be long but piece by piece I can repair your fragmented mind!” “How exactly?” “I am the goddess of locks and locked doors...I will open you mind!” “Just wipe your feet before entering!” I joked and laughing she got her equipment ready, “See you in a few days” before drinking the tonic.

Weeks passed and studying Asclepius staff that projected his brain before grabbing hers to delve into the brain and connect it back up to the corresponding piece she also cleaned the odd memory up to make it easier in the future. She drank some more wine as she circled the image and seeing it was clear of “illness” nodded switching her device off and Asclepius who had watched for the last few days stared in shock at what he had witnessed, “Done, here’s the staff!” “That was unbelievable, how?” “The brain has a key and I merely opened the lock and repaired the damage, it’s like another puzzle. Do you...” he nodded before doing the checks spoke, “Breathing dead, pulse very weak, no heartbeat; how he should be!” he grabbed some more plants from his bag before handing it to her spoke, “I am not an expert on the mind but Lyssa believes he will suffer from short term memory loss, I say if it isn’t anything serious such as he thinks he is a woman etc. leave it, eventually he will remember!” “I have locked it tightly with an reinforced protective layer!” “Good! Remember this is pain killers to ease his undoubtably gained headaches, this is a memory booster if you should need it! I must leave now Hygiena is expecting me, keep me informed and doubt worry I understand the need for peace and quiet for the patient! Just don’t withhold the information from the family!” she nodded before thanking him once again, “Better put some food on I guess!”

Another day passed and seeing him eventually stir from his sleep excitedly she saw his hand move, “Where am I?” “You have just woken up from your sleep!” “Did it work?” “You tell me!” “I remember dreams of what has happened and you being there, Athena’s rejection, my loneliness, my capture all them felt right when you started to change them!” “Good, it may have worked!” “I am going to say some words and I want you to explain as much as you can!” “Okay!” “Family!” he stopped before thinking about it spoke, “I have two children! A mother Leto isn’t it! A sister called Asteria!” “Let’s start simpler, who’s is your father?” “Hermes, that rings a bell!” she wrote it down before asking, “How about Tartarus!” “That’s my home!” “Lover?” “You?” “Well that’s partially true!” “What are you?” “I remember fighting! So I must be a warrior! Am I?” “Sort of! But let’s relax and then maybe it will come back to you later!” “We are together right?” “In a fashion yes!” “Okay, Good!”

“Persephone, Hades and family, I have fixed James’ mind. I fixed it as best I could and he physically and now mentally fit, he has just had a few unfortunate side effects mainly small parts of his memory; which can be easily fixed. These are: family, what he is and other minor things. We just need to remind him of who is who. In terms of what he is isn’t too important! Just as long as he knows what he can do! He thinks he is a warrior and that isn’t too far away from the truth. Yours, Hekate” Hermes read from the parchment and growling they Persephone spoke, “Typical can’t even fix him properly!” “It’s better then nothing!” Hades spoke, “He still has mental problems!” “But these can be easily fixed!” “I hope so...”

Meanwhile, “What will you do now, now that I am cured!” “I don’t know, I don’t really have a place to stay due to my previous mistakes, what about you?” I looked over across the land and smiling I spoke, “I may become a mercenary and fight the evil that walks these realms, I have the gear the powers and the knowledge and maybe it will help me fill the blanks!” “I might stay here build a life on the coast, it’s nice here and the population is small!” “Yes, You should it’s nice here” “I was hoping maybe you would stay and help me...” and smiling I turned around before hugging her I spoke, “I hoped you would say that!”

What's next?
