The Mirror Of God

Prologue: The World Behind the Mirror

The torrential rain that fell that night was extremely cold, the sound of lightning blaring as if it wanted to split a mountain. Theo, a 3rd grade high school boy pulls his blanket to warm him up, he lives alone, his parents rent a house for him, because his parents' house and school are in a different city. The night was getting longer with the endless rain, even raindrops fell from the roof of his house and wet the mattress and face Theo, Theo woke up with a facial expression very upset because it turned out the roof of his house was leaking.

"Damn, leak again." Theo muttered

Theo got up from his bed and rushed to fetch a water container to hold the rain water dripping on his mattress, he took his mattress off the bed and put it on the floor. When he wanted to go back to sleep, there was someone knocking on his door, Theo thought it was originally just a tree branch, but it turned out that the knock was getting stronger and Theo was sure it was not a tree branch, but rather someone. Out of curiosity he came out of his room and headed to his doorstep.

"Who the hell are the gini nights knocking on the door of the house, don't-don't ghost again." Theo's words were accompanied by fear

When he opened the door of his house, no one showed up, only a large high mirror before him.

"What's this?" Theo asked "who's crazy who put this mirror in the night." Further

Because he was lazy to get dizzy, he ignored the mirror and closed the door again. As he was walking back to the room a knock was heard, with an angry look Theo walked quickly towards the door of the house and opened it while cursing.

"Oi shithead, don't fad ya!" Theo snapped

However, still no one appeared before him, all he saw was a large mirror reflecting his own body.

"Cinting!" Theo grouse

Finally, Theo took the mirror into his room and put it in the corner of the room and he went back to sleep.

The rain stopped and the sound of an alarm went off, Theo who was very tired and sleep-deprived did not rush to get up, the sound of alarm kept ringing nonstop and forced Theo to wake up because he had to go to school immediately to carry out the Mid-Semester Examination, when he looked towards the clock, Theo was shocked and jumped in panic, because the clock shows at 07:12 and he will be late going to school.

"Disad it bad." Theo said

He got up and took a shower. After taking a bath, he looked at the mirror he brought in last night, it turned out that in the mirror there was a letter with a strange writing, because of curiosity about the letter, Theo kept it in his pocket. He also saw strange carvings on the side of the mirror that he had just noticed.

"Good too." Theo muttered

Time continued to run, Theo looked back at the clock and time showed at 07:23, seven more minutes he would be late. In a hurry, Theo took a comb to tidy his hair, he looked back at the mirror, until suddenly a woman appeared from the mirror in a white shirt, with a small crown on his head. Theo was startled and took a few steps back, the woman remained in the mirror and gestured for help, before long the woman disappeared from before him.

"What ghost?" Ask Theo

With high curiosity, Theo touched the mirror and the mirror sucked his body, Theo screamed very loudly, even his screams could break the 3 inch thick glass, he circled around in a hallway filled with color, then he glimpsed at the millions of stars, before long he fell from the sky and landed on a very green hill, which was very green, Theo felt nothing, but he fell from 20,000 feet.

Theo woke up with a very confused mind, the birdsong was heard from all directions, the air was very cool too, he felt really in a different world.

"I where?" Ask

He walked down the hill, then continued to walk far until he finally saw a very large city, the building made of large stones neatly arranged and very beautiful, he said, he also saw someone flying on a white horned horse. A sight that really made Theo distrust and felt he was dreaming.

In addition, he also saw people walking in the market in typical medieval clothes and on the other side of the city there was a fight between two humans, he said, they fought each other endlessly with an audience of thousands, shouting cheers to the humans who were fighting. Theo feels like he is an anime character stranded in an unknown world.

"Hahaha, this is crazy." Theo muttered

Suddenly Theo remembers that he has to go to school for exams, but he doesn't know how to get away from the world he came to, even Theo feels that this is all a dream, Theo slaps himself and he doesn't wake up from his sleep, because it's not a dream, it's a reality.

Theo had not realized that the clothes he was wearing had changed, he was wearing a dress that resembled the people of the city. Theo who was confused rushed down from the hill to meet the residents and asked himself where, he saw a merchant who was selling fresh fruits, without a long time Theo immediately approached him and asked him.

"Excuse me, sir, if I may know where I am?" Ask Theo to the fruit dealer

"This is the land of Karya, which country's sister?" Said the trader

Theo was shocked because the language he had just used was not an everyday language, theo's subconscious spoke a language he had never learned and he was also shocked to understand the merchant's speech.

"I am from Indonesia." Theo

"I've never heard of any country called Indonesia, if you get lost, you can ask the children of Hermes, they're wearing blue clothes with scrolls on their backs, you know, they usually provide information because they are commissioned by our god Hermes to deliver a message." Said the merchant

"Am I in Greece sir?" Ask Theo again

The merchant showed a shocked and fearful look, as if to say Greece was a great calamity.

"Never mention the word here, let's call it being in Ellada, for it is only Theo (God) who may mention it." Obviously the trader

Theo was more confused, because he felt his name was Theo so he had the right to say the Greek word and he told the merchant his name.

"But I am Theo sir" Theo said

The merchant grew more afraid and surprised and prostrated himself to Theo.

"Don't bow down so, sir." Theo said again

"Our God, please forgive us for not knowing you are in front of me." Said the merchant

The market people were confused and immediately prostrated before Theo after hearing the trader's words, Theo was more confused and thought that they had gone mad. Then, Theo left them and tried to find a sane person he could talk to. On his way, he met a girl his age reading a book, the girl was very beautiful with brownish black hair, blue eyes and thin red lips, with the blue clothes she was wearing and the scroll on her back, the girl was reading a very thick book. Then, Theo approached the girl.

"The son of hermes?" Ask Theo suddenly

The girl gave him a quick glance, but Theo ignored him and went back to reading the book he was holding.

"I am from Indonesia son of Hermes, my name is Theo, I want to ask you." Theo said

The girl immediately closed her book and threw the thick book into Theo's face, the book was right on target and Theo grimaced in pain.

"Crazy old!" Hardik Theo with a high voice

"You crazy, ngaku from Indonesia with the name of the highest god." Said the girl

Theo was confused and explained about himself to the girl.

"I'm honest, I'm from Indonesia and my name is Theo, I came here through a mirror that was sent in my room last night, I don't know anything, I just want to get the hell out of here and do the Mid-Semester Exam at my school." Obviously Theo long

"That's a fairy tale my mother read when I was a child before I went to bed, I must have known that your mother also told you the same story, until you fantasized that you didn't." Said the Girl

"It seems like everything here is out of their mind." Theo grouse

Theo then rushes away leaving the girl, but the girl chases after Theo.

"Wait, whether your father or mother is also the son of Hermes, because only the son of Hermes knows the story, but from the clothes you wear, you are like an ordinary person." Said the Girl

"My father was the son of Bambang and my father's name was Budi, so I knew nothing about Hermes and his children, which I knew Hermes was the god of Greek mythology that I read in my study." Theo said

"The forecast is right, you better come with me now." Said the Girl

"Formerly, introduce my name Chloe, you better come with me before you're found by the other god's son."

Without thinking Theo followed Chloe to a house, Chloe told Theo to enter the house and when Theo entered Chloe locked Theo alone in the house.

"Oi damn girl, get me out of here!" Shouted Theo from within

Chloe from the outside waited for the answer that had been running through her mind, she waited for the answer whether Theo was like a prophecy she had heard when she was a child, a story that tens of thousands of years down and told among the children of Hermes.

The house is a test house for Ares' worthy son, a test of endurance. When someone enters it, it will appear very hot and burning fire, only Ares child who survives the heat of the fire, because Ares child has a body resistance that is above normal, although the children of Ares survive, they will leave a burn scar that forms a tattoo on his body according to the will of the fire, so it is easy to be able to know the child Ares and other children.

Theo who was inside was startled because suddenly an enormous fire suddenly appeared, the fire was bird-shaped and was approaching towards him. The fire then asked him to talk.

"I've never seen a little Ares kid like you." The word fire

"I'm not Ares' son!" Shouted Theo

"If not, you are ready to die." Say that fire

The fire came closer to him and hit Theo's body, but Theo felt nothing, it surrounded Theo's body and again Theo felt nothing.

"I've seen Ares's children survive, but they won't put up with this one, I'll heat up my body again, as hot as the lava of mount olympus!" Shouted the fire

The temperature of the room was getting hotter, Theo was confused and opened his mouth, because he was very surprised, he was surprised not because his body could not burn, he was surprised because the fire speech was very strange.

"It's the fire bird, I don't have time with you, I want to get out of here and run the Semester Final Trials." Theo

The firebird was very angry and his body temperature heated up, even the heat resembled the heat of the sun, but still Theo did not feel anything.

"You are worthy as the son of Ares, the endurance of your body resembles that of the god Ares, I have attained maximum heat and your body is not burned at all." That fire word

"Have you? If I wanted to get out." Theo

"As your request."

The fire bird disappeared and the door of the house opened, Chloe who had been waiting outside was very surprised because she saw Theo was okay.

"How is it possible that I just outside feel the heat from inside this house." Chloe said

"I just met a fire bird inside, you want to kill me?" Ask Theo

"No-no, I'm just testing you." Said Chloe again

Chloe thinks this is really like a prophecy, but it's not enough for Chloe to prove that Theo is the young man of the prophecy, Chloe wants to prove once again to convince Theo that he is the young man.

"So where are we going next?" Ask Theo again

"Come with me, I'll show you something."

"No more tricks?" Ask Theo

"Hehe, take it easy." Chloe's lying

Theo followed Chloe back, they arrived at a well, Chloe sat down and leaned over the side of the well and showed an exhausted expression.

"I'm tired." Chloe said

"It's still far away?" Ask Theo again

"Far enough, what if a good man gets me water from this well, I'm thirsty." Chloe said

"Sucks." Theo grouse

Theo looked into the well, the well was very deep and did not even look basic, because Theo wanted to quickly get out of this strange world, so Theo just complied and lowered the bucket into it to take water.

Chloe thought in her heart that there would be no water coming from the well and only Poseidon's son could draw in the well and Chloe was sure Theo would not get water from the well.

"Khikhikhi, I've been trying to draw here for 4 hours, because I'm not Poseidon's son, nor did the bucket go up." Chloe muttered in her heart

Five minutes went by, and the bucket didn't arrive. But Theo did not show a tired expression at all, he continued to draw relentlessly until finally the bucket hook appeared with full water in the bucket covered by Theo.

"It's the water, deep as well yeah, I took a long time." Theo

"No! Nah! It can't be!" Chloe shouted in shock

"Huh? What is impossible."

"It's nothing."

Chloe was very surprised, in just 5 minutes Theo managed to get water from Poseidon well, even Poseidon's biological children took 30 minutes to get water from this holy well. Chloe was worried and afraid, if the prophecy was true, then there would be a great war going on. Chloe must decide, as the prophecy says, there will be a child Hermes who helps a young man, the young man comes from behind a mirror and will destroy Olympus, who is, since the prophecy was spread only the son of Hermes knew the prophecy, Zeus and the other Gods did not know about the prophecy, nor did anyone know about the prophecy. That's why the son of Hermes kept this secret, because if Zeus knew, he would kill all the children of Hermes.

"Well, for now don't call yourself Theo, because Theo should only be used for the gods who live in Olympus, you should find another name and I'll accompany your journey here." Chloe

"When can I get out of here?" Ask Theo

"I don't know, but for now I'm going to stay with you and answer all your questions, don't ever talk before I tell you to talk and never shut up when I tell you to talk, okay?"

Theo nodded.

"I just want to get out of here and finish the Semester Final Examination immediately." Theo

"Whatever you say I don't know, but the point is you'll be safe if you follow my words." Obviously Chloe again

"I'll call myself Olympus." Theo

"You're out of your mind? Another name."

"Haha, what about Andrew? Cool right?"

"Good too, so from now on your name is Andrew."

Theo's journey begins, Theo who knows nothing of Ellada's world will walk with a girl named Chloe who is known as Hermes' son, is it possible that Theo will be able to get out of Ellada and return to Earth for the Final Semester or will there be a greater task ahead of him? We do not know and all we know is Theo himself.
