They all stared at the screens in front of them wondering what the hell was happening. One minute they were laughing and joking after finishing there lunch by the campfire and the next everything went black and they all appeared in the same area with video status screens in front of them.
From what Shane could tell the stats for a human ranged from 1 -10 average was around 7 or so. But they were all level 0 it appeared with question marks for classes whatever that meant. Then the voice sounded out of the darkness.
“We have interrupted your integration. We have a proposal for you four. And seeing how we figured you would not be agreeable if we did not keep your elder with you we have brought him along also.” A deep voice from the darkness stated.
“We shall each talk to one of you and while we do the others shall not be able to hear what we say. If you four young one are agreeable to a parlay from us that is.” Another voice sounded in the dark.
Not seeing as they had much choice or a lack of a better one to be honest about it. The brothers all nodded their heads in agreement. Shane immediately could not hear anything from the left or the right of him.
“Hello Shane.” A deep rich voice sounded around him appearing from what seemed like from everywhere.
“Hello, who are you” Shane asked
“I am Jupiter. King of the Roman Pantheon” The voice stated
“It’s nice to meet you.” Shane nervously stated.
“It is nice to meet you also. Why we have interrupted the process of your integration is as such. There is going to become a conflict on our planet. The multiverse is all about strife and growing stronger. So in 4 months in real time your world will be invaded by a army of Zane. They are a zealous faction of the multiverse that only believes in master and slave situation. Our world will not be strong enough we fear unless we act now. We have pulled our powers together to freeze time and create a dungeon for each of you. To train you and can a stronger start before you are placed in the tutorial from the multiverse. We are each going to give our blessing and guide you onto a path that we feel will give you and your brothers a chance to fight and possible win in the end. What say you?” Jupiter explained
“If what you say is true and war is coming for us then yes me and my brothers will help.” Shane stated confidently
“We shall let you talk amongst yourselves while we prepare for your answer.” Jupiter said
It was at that moment after Jupiter finished talking that Shane felt the presence back off a bit. He also became aware of being able to hear his brothers again.
“Who did you talk to little brother?” Roland asked Shane
“Jupiter, who did you talk to you?” Shane said
“Odin” Roland stated
“Dagda” Joe said
“Zeus” Chris replied
“They tell you about some tutorial and an invasion after?” Shane asked
“Yup” all four answered at the same time.
“What do you think Papaw?” Roland asked Thomas
“If what you boys are saying is true then I don’t think there is that much of a choice. You boys know that we in our family protect the weak from the bullies. And that is what this Zane empire sounds like bullies. I had a nice chat with Athena while you boys were busy. While you four are in there I’m going to be learning from her what Im going to be doing after the tutorial.” Thomas told his grandsons
“Alright so are we all in agreement then?” Roland said
The other four nodded before Roland raised his voice and said “Odin we are ready now.”
“Very well what are your answers then?” the deep voice sounded in the darkness
“We will do as you have stated.” Roland said
“Very well, Roland you shall be my pantheon champion. We shall speak more once you are in the dungeon.” Odin stated
“And you Chris shall be my pantheon champion.” Zeus stated
“Joe you are stuck with us Celtic pantheon” Dadge laughed
“And the Roman Pantheon will train thee Shane. If you four are ready say your goodbye. It will feel like 4 months before you are all back here and time resumes as normal. We have slowed time down so that when you get into the dungeon it will be time to pick your class and will give us time to talk you through it and assist as needed.” Jupiter stated.
They all said goodbye and wished each other luck and they fist bumped each other and gave their grandfather a hug. Then the world flashed white and they all found themselves alone in ante room.
