As Alex's sight returned from the blinding light from her writs, she found that she was no longer in the restroom, now frantically looking around to find only darkness, with the only source of light beaming down on her, revealing that she was now stood on a marble circle in the floor, with a bizarre crest in its center.
"Are you sure this is the one" came a strong female voice.
"How am I supposed to know, they don't exactly look similar to how they did before" came a gruff sounding voice in reply.
"Not exactly what we had in mind brother, how will mother react", "oh shut up Lupa, you always get it easy being the youngest" two voices bickered in the darkness, with other unfamiliar voices circling Alex.
"Hello?, where am I, this isn't a kidnapping is it?" Said Alex, his hand jumping up to her throught in shock once again, not entirely comfortable with her new voice, then the voices and shuffling in the darkness stopped and was replaced with humoured laughter and chuckles.
"Oh I'm glad I left the forge for this now, mortals, always so far from grasping the fact that GODS have summoned them into our home" came a cheerful male voice directly behind Alex, but when she turned around she let out a short scream in surprise and fell onto the cold hard marble.
Stood infront of her was the outline of a large man, his eyes braking through the darkness as fires seemed to replace his pupils, glowing like two candles, his arms could be made out from the blackness, but only due to the fact that they appeared to be cracked like stone, with a lava like glow seeping from the cracks, the same for his legs.
"Really?, am I that hideous?" Asked the flaming figure as he turned his head as if to look at someone next to him, Alex then let out another scream as a second figure could be made out now standing next to the volcanic man
"Of corse not sídero, after all, I wouldn't have fallen for you as quickly if that were the case, my darling husband" came the female voice of the second figure, the only visible features of her were her glowing golden hair and gem like yellow eyes.
"Your too good to me" came the now soft voice of the burning man who Alex now knew had the name of sídero, followed by annoyed groans from around the dark room, getting a chuckle from the two glowing figures.
Suddenly the echoing sound of doors opening filled the room and all conversation fell silent, the two glowing figures then backed away from the light and vanished back into the darkness with two sets of footsteps aproching Alex from the darkness "well when I heard that the jumper had not just broken our lost tool, but had also been summoned into our halls, me and your father had no choice but to come and see what you all had done" came a commanding femenin voice, a voice that captured Alex attention completely, almost as if she had no choice but to give this person her undivided attention and respect.
"Indeed, me and your mother didn't hand the controll of the earth over to you children and your aunts and uncles just to create havoc and chaos, and why is this room so-OW!, dark. Came a booming male voice, Alex reckoned that the only description for this voice would be a true king, his voice held authority, power, law and control "I command there to be....ILLUMINATION" commanded the voice, and suddenly the ring of light around Alex spread out around the room, revealing a large circular marble room, around the marble circle that Alex was laying upon was a large golden ring, with images of various people and creatures etched into the gold, with some kind of blue stone and white marble creating the fine detailing of the images.
Around the outside of the golden ring was a raised fire ring, with its coals visible from behind the fires marble rim, with enterances cut into the ring facing the back of the room and the large wooden and silver door, as Alex stood up she could see various other features of the room, the large stone slab space behind the harth ring, the marble pillars around the edge of the round room, the various thrones in between the pillars, each with a unique banner above it and coloured carpet leading to the foot of each throne, and then Alex looked up to the high ceiling, and it reminded her of walking into a church, with the roof having glorious paintings and patterns on its domed surface, but what was most bizarre was the source of the light that flooded the room, it almost had a shape to it, but light couldn't have shape.....could it?
Alex was then ripped away from her admiration of the room when the female voice once again spoke as beams of light began to weave a figure of a woman and various other people and creatures into existence around the room "Welcome, jumper of reality, we have a few questions for you....
