I was half awake hopping and praying that nothing in the last day or so never happened, but it did. I was taken by Hera and brought to her base where her minions rapped me.
As I came to full consciousness I realized that Wyatt and Scott were no longer beside me in the bed but i could faintly hear them them talking to someone outside the door
With everything that had happened to me and without someone to hold me it started to feel like my body was going to fall apart into little tiny pieces. So i curled into a ball to try and hold myself together but i could tell that it was not working. I began crying uncontrollably. Since i was closing my eyes to try to stop the tears i did not see Wyatt and SCott come in."Oh my god!" Exclaimed Scott.
When they came into the room the saw me in the fetal position but also i was floating in the air, spinning in a circle, and lightning bolts were shooting out of my body randomly."Liam wake up!" Scott yelled. "You need to wake up and calm down."
Wyatt put up his shield so the lightning bolts would not strike them."Scott trying yelling for Zeus. I find it curious that he has not shown up since we removed the chain."
As Scott was yelling for Zeus I felt Jean try to connect with my mind but for some reason she stopped as soon as she started."Liam, you know who /i am and you know I will not hurt you" Said a non distinct female voice in my head which I suddenly knew that it was Phoenix. "Liam you have to get control of yourself before you kill everyone you love. Also you must break Wyatt's spell that is hiding the chain cause although it is not visible it is still there and that is why Zeus has yet to come to help. When i leave your mind you must gain control within 5 minutes before nothing around you will be left."
I felt Phoenix leave so i started to count to keep track of the time limit. As it happened count helped me to calm down. After a minute the lightning bolts stopped. After two minutes i stopped spinning. After three minutes i floated back to the bed so it seemed like the time limit was covered. I rolled on to my stomach and focused on my hands and i could feel the chain. I could hear Scott and Wyatt talking to others in the room. I sent my thoughts out to Jean and told her everything they needed to know.
I gathered up energy to break the spell while Jean told everyone what i told her. I concentrated on the part where the chain connected my hands and i let loose the most powerful lightning bolt i could. It hit the chain and the wave of energy that was created when the spell was broken shook the whole mansion."Liam, are you all right?" Asked Wyatt."I'm fine. You have to use Excalibur to break the chain. Use all the strength you can no matter what might happen to me." I said sternly but also weak
I felt Wyatt and Scott come around to my left said so i turned my head they both looked at me and i saw and felt all of their love for my. They both kissed me and told me that they loved me. Scott backed up but kept me in his sight. While Wyatt went behind me and called forth Excalibur. I turned my head into the bed so that no one could see my face. I heard the sword rise then fall right before i felt the sword break the chain and sink into me. I fell into darkness.
As i was hanging between life and death i had what seemed like a vision. I was in a grand hall where the domed roof was painted to look like the sky except that it moved as if it was the real sky. The walls, or at least 2 and a half of them, were covered in a mural of all the major events in history from the Big Bang to the earthquake in Haiti. The other 2 and a half walls were just plain white. At the back of the room there was three women standing in front of a giant loom covered in strings that were all tangled up and looked like chaos. The first women looked to be anywhere from 12-17. She had blonde hair that reached her waist. She wore a long sleeve whit dress that went to her feet, which were bare. THe second women was between the ages of 26-45. She had brunette hair that was braided and wrap around her head. She wore a spaghetti strap red dress that went to her bare feet and she looked to be pregnant. The final women looked to be 50 or older. Her grey hair was up in a simple bun. She wore a conservative black dress that went to her bare feet."Welcome to the Temple of the Fates." Said Zeus as he appeared beside me. "This is where the three Fates weave the Loom of Fate." He said as he stated to walk toward the Fates. I quickly followed him. "You are on the brink of death Liam, but since you are my vessel the fates will give you a choice that is only meant for you." He disappeared just as we reached the Fates."Welcome vessel of Zeus." All three women said at once while the turned and faced me. Each one was beautiful in their own right and all had pure white eyes. "you are here so we can give you a choice between life or death. If you choose life then you will have no choice but to complete your destiny and stop Hera. If you choose death then you will be reborn immediately but with no memory of this life and also you will be born as a normal human. Think carefully before you choose."
I was thinking about everything that had happened to my since i found out i was a mutant and i realized that i would not change anything that had happened for anything in the world. I was about to tell that Fates my answer when i felt a warmth within me and golden lights surrounded my and the Temple disappeared.
