Walvion: the time i let mages probe my mind and i killed a celestial 3/3

“Wake him up” a mage said. I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling. It was made of leaves and let in sunlight. My eyes darted around the room. Four mages surrounded me, one had energy leaving its body as it casted the last of the waking spells. To my left, Witxha sat in a chair half-asleep and leaning on the hilt of the sword I had in my consciousness. Asterion leaned on the wall next to her with his arms crossed. He shakily smiled at me and pointed to my right. I turned my head to see what he was pointing at. It was Euclapidices. He had tears rolling down his cheeks and a big goofy grin when he saw my eyes land on him. “We’ll leave you all to catch up.” The grand mage said. The mages left and Witxha shot up straight. “Oh my gods, you're alive!!” Witxha screamed. “Why wouldn’t I be?” i asked “Young friend, you almost died. Twice. You’re extremely lucky for your gauntlet to have an attachment to you.” Asterion said. “Yeah TWICE, YOU FORGOT TO MENTION WHEN HE DID DIE ASTERION!” Euclapidices shouted. “Wait, wh..” I tried saying. “Yes, you died, little stalker. The mages said you disappeared from them and your heart stopped beating. For several minutes, we thought you for sure were gone.” Eclapidices interrupted. “I was so scared you wouldnt come back that the mages had to put me to sleep so I wouldn't distract them.” Euclapidices was crying again and he tried his best to hug me while I was still laying. “Yes, the demigod does not lie. In fact your scars were glowing at such an intensity we thought the gods had claimed you in the afterlife. Then Zeus be damned, your gauntlet encased you in armor and contained your energy as the mages grabbed at the slightest hint of your consciousness. They said you were intertwined with some ancient being and were literally fighting something in the deepest parts of your mind.” Asterion added.

I smiled and sighed. “You guys have no idea what it was like in there, i’ll tell you guys sometime in the future, but right now, can i get some rest?” I said. “Absolutely, you looked like you killed a god, you deserve some rest.” Witxha said. Asterion proceeded to wrap me in the blanket again and carried me away from the Mages place. Euclapidices grabbed my hands again and led us through the valetudinaria. We passed the room I was in before our visit to the mages. “Hey isn't that my room?” I asked Euclapidices. “It was, we’re bringing you to a more permanent place to stay until you heal fully.” The dreamy demigod said. “I hope you like it, I went looking for it while we waited for the mages to finish.” Witxha said. “I’m sure I will.” I replied. “Good, cause it’d be a shame if you didnt after spending several days being worked on.” Asterion added. “Days?” I questioned. “Yes, four.” Euclapidices said. “FOUR!” I exclaimed. “Four.” The three of them said at the same time. “Hey, we all said that at the same time!” Witxha said excitedly. We kept walking, and eventually left the valetudinaria. Asterion placed me on a cart and the other two sat with me as Asterion sat in the front with the driver. We talked about food as we traveled to the place Witxha found for me. Soon enough we arrived at a gate, and we made our way through it. A portal opened and we went through. Traveling through a wormhole while being carried is a whole new form of trippy i wasn't expecting. We stepped out of the other end almost instantly. I looked around, the place looked quiet and peaceful. I saw insects similar to bees flying around and making upbeat buzzing sounds. I looked to the sky, there I saw a circular cloud formation that looked eons old. It contained the same energy I absorbed when I banished Agnarbog. “Welcome to Walvion, hopefully your new home little stalker.” Euclapidices said. “Walvion?” i asked “Yes, why?” Eclapidices said. “Oh nothing, i thought i misheard you” i lied. “Oh, well in that case, we do have one more thing for you before we show you your place.” Euclapidices said. “OH?” I sounded. “Yes, how do you feel about the name ‘Epizón’?” Witxha asked. “I like it, what does it mean?” I said. “In my language, it means survivor, but to you, it could mean whatever you want it to.” Euclapidices said. “That’s so sweet guys.” I smiled at them as I said this. “Well, let’s get you to your place, my arms are getting tired just standing here.” Asterion said. We promptly made our way through the valley and arrived at my new place.
