The Mirror Of God
Episode 6: Chloe (2)
It was an unforgettable injury for Chloe. Then, Chloe checks Red's room and finds a pile of money, Chloe counts the money, the money amounts to 2 million Tera and Chloe thinks it can be to live it for a few years without working, but Chloe still wants to work, because if she only relies on that money, she can starve to death if the money runs out. Then, for the first time in 10 years Chloe finally decided to leave the house and travel in the land of Karya, initially she was afraid and awkward with a world that she did not know at all. He was walking in an indeterminate direction, he saw the state of his world was very much different from when he was a child, the first thing he wanted to do was meet the owner of the fruit shop who beat him up at that time, he tried to remember the road to the fruit shop and after a 2-hour journey he found the fruit shop with the same owner who was very old. Chloe walked up to the fruit shop and it seemed that the owner of the fruit shop had forgotten about Chloe, because Chloe was already different and much prettier when she was a child.
"Sir, I want to buy fruit, how much?" Ask Chloe
"Young lady is so pretty, it costs only 300 Tera for one kilogram of orange." Said
Much cheaper than that time, he gave the price of 10,000 Tera for half the fruit he ate.
"Mother don't remember me?" Ask Chloe
"I'm senile, miss, and my buyers are so numerous, so I don't remember miss at all."
Then Chloe took 15,000 Tera out of her pocket and gave the money to the father of the fruit seller.
"So miss wants to buy 50 kilograms?" Ask
"No sir, that was my debt at the time." Chloe said
"Miss never owes me anything."
"I owe you a debt, 10 years ago I was beaten by you right in front of here, and then there was a man who helped me and my father told me the price of the fruit I ate 10,000 Tera, then the man only paid 8,500 Tera, so I still owe 1,500 tera, but I intentionally increased it, so that you can think and help a hungry child by giving fruits belonging to the father even if only a piece." Chloe said
The father was surprised and vividly remembered the events of 10 years ago. The father was very sorry and cried in front of Chloe and he bowed to apologize to Chloe for her mistake 10 years ago.
"Sorry lady, I'm so sorry, I was tempramental and now I'm old." Said the man
"Already forget it, I just want to teach you something by coming back here." Chloe said
At the same time, there were some people with a stocky body coming to the fruit dealer, then some people asked the owner of the fruit shop for money.
"Where's the tax today!" Shouted one of the men
"It's bang." The father took out 5,000 Tera and handed them over to the men
Chloe clearly saw the evil people's treatment of this fruit merchant, and Chloe asked the father of the fruit owner.
"How long have they been eating like that?" Ask Chloe
"Over the past 3 years, every day I have to spend 5,000 Tera to pay them, otherwise they will destroy my shop." Said the father
"Wait here sir, I'll take it back." Chloe said
"Don't, it's dangerous."
But Chloe did not heed the warnings of the store owner and still approached the men with sturdy bodies. Then, Chloe shouted towards the men.
"Hey, don't bully the weak!" Shouts Chloe
They turned their heads and looked towards Chloe, then they laughed and insulted Chloe.
"Little girl like you wants to uphold justice?" Ask one of the men
"You are the weak men who oppress the helpless old geezer!" Shouted Chloe again
"Your body is good, let's play." Said one of the other men
There are 4 of them, Chloe doesn't know what to do, but he remembered reading the martial arts book that Red had bought and he vividly remembered all the movements in the book, even though he had never practiced it, but he was confident he could imitate the movements that were in the book.
The men try to catch Chloe, but Chloe dodges exactly as written in the book she reads, and Chloe counterattacks, he imitated all the movements from the book he read, one of the men he attacked collapsed and fainted.
"This is forward." Chloe said as she mounted the horses
The three men tried to escape, but Chloe chased after them while shouting.
"Return the father's money, hey picker!" Shouts Chloe
The man throws in some money, but they keep running away from Chloe, they get further and Chloe takes the money, the money Chloe holds amounts to 30,500 Tera, this is more than they asked for. Afterwards, Chloe returned to the fruit shop and gave all the money to the store owner.
"This is for you sir, I've taken it back." Chloe said
"But this is too much."
"Save it, it's even less to replace the money they've been asking for." Chloe said
The father cried and was very grateful to Chloe, then Chloe left and he saw a poster attached to one of the buildings, on the poster it says they want to recruit a talented child Hermes, who is a child, Chloe remembers that her mother used to be a Hermes child, Chloe looks at the poster and sees its location. Then, Chloe went to the location listed.
Chloe sees dozens of people lining the list to become Hermes's child. Then, Chloe walked up to the registration table that a man was waiting for.
"Excuse me sir, I'd like to sign up." Chloe said
"Whose family are you from? those who sign up here must be descendants of Hermes' son." Said the man
Chloe is confused, she can't possibly be honest with the man that she is Susan's child, she doesn't know what to answer, so she decides not to register rather than have her identity exposed.
"Sorry sir, I'm a regular guy. Thank you then." Chloe said
Chloe leaves, but then the shadow of the God Hermes approaches her directly and tells her to stay inside, the body of the original God Hermes still in the library and has not been out for thousands of years.
"Hey the recipient of the registration, why don't we give it a chance, not so little girl." The God of Hermes
"But God, he's not from the Hermes family of children."
"You want to go against my orders?"
Eventually Chloe was allowed to enter because of the help of Hermes, the God Hermes immediately knew that she was the son of Susan, because her face was similar, but Zeus would not notice it.
When entering Chloe immediately remembers her childhood, she was told by her mother about where the children of Hermes gathered, she also when she was a child told about the prophecy, that there would be a man coming from a different land called Theo and there was a son of Hermes who helped him, his mother hoped that he would be the son of Hermes who helped the man's journey. Chloe is still very clear in detail looking for the story that her mother told her as a child.
After they enter, the first test is the confessional, in the room all their pasts will be flashed, good or bad memories will pass, even in the confessional many are insane because the pressures of the bad past are more devastating than they experience in reality and many will fall in the confessional, he said, the purpose was to mentally test the son of Hermes who would carry out noble duties, in the confessional of his supervisor was the direct God Hermes, so no one should know the background of the other children of Hermes.
When Chloe's billiards came in, the God Hermes was very excited about her. Then, Chloe comes in and sits in the confessional seat, when Chloe sits down all the memories of her past flashed, her childhood memories flashed, the shadows about her mother. The god Hermes was pleased, because his guess was true that he was Susan's son who had been missing all along. After that, the good memories all disappeared turned into painful memories, the God Hermes was shocked when he saw the memories of Chloe, even the God Hermes himself cried to see the memories the girl had experienced, he said, from childhood she never felt happiness, even the happiness she felt with Red turned out to be just a falsehood of Red, but Chloe stayed in the confessional seat and she passed the confessional test.
Olympus: Library
Hermes immediately calls Chloe to his library, the other Hermes children are confused why only Chloe is called, but for them Chloe is just an ordinary person. After that, Chloe is teleported to the library room of the God Hermes, Chloe is very surprised to see the original body of the God Hermes and Chloe worship the God Hermes, but the God Hermes tells her to wake up.
"Wake up, I want to see your future." The God of Hermes
Chloe wakes up and the God Hermes touches her forehead with her thumb, Chloe has no idea what the God Hermes is doing, the God Hermes is surprised because Chloe's future contains a huge responsibility, which is very important, The god Hermes sees a man but he can't see his face, Chloe will experience death but will be resurrected, all clearly visible, but suddenly all stopped, The god Hermes could not continue his vision because it was covered in something, which he did not know.
The god Hermes also knew about Chloe's origin, that she was the son of Zeus. Then the god Hermes locked the hidden power of Chloe, because if she unleashed that power Zeus would quickly find her.
"I saw something big from you, I'll send you some books and food and study all the books I sent, stay calm until the time comes, you'll know the truth, you'll know the truth, you are now accepted to be my son." The God of Hermes
Country of Work: Chloe's Residence
Suddenly Chloe returns to Red's home with thousands of books in front of her, Chloe grumbling in annoyance.
"For the first time I'm upset to see a book." Chloe said
But Chloe did not give up and she continued to study the books for 2 years.

2 Years Later: Chloe's Residence
Chloe for the first time invited a stranger to her house, the man was Theo whom she had just met and he was convinced to be the man in the courtyard.
"For a while you stayed in my house." Chloe said
"Your house is nice and big." Theo
"This isn't my house." Chloe said
"Then your parents' house?" Ask Theo
"Not really." Chloe said
"Whose house?"
"I want a story, but you have to keep this a secret, somehow I trust you so much." Chloe said
"Just calm down, I'm a good secret keeper." Theo said
Chloe told me all her life experiences, everything she had, her mother killed Zeus, she didn't know who her father was, she was tricked by a perverted man, Chloe tells all her secrets to Theo and Chloe tells Theo her dreams.
"I dream something, I hope it will be achieved." Said
"What's that?" Ask Theo
"I want to see my father, for some reason in my heart I'm sure he's alive. Then, I will live the rest of my life with her happily." Chloe said
"Your dreams are beautiful." Theo
"Will you help me with my dreams?" Ask Chloe
"So my dream now is to get out of here." Theo
"What if we came together to make our dreams come true?" Ask Chloe
"I agree." Theo
Chloe does not yet know the truth, that she is the biological child of Zeus, she does not realize it at all, whereas the power of lightning from her body is a legacy from the father. But, Chloe doesn't know that she has that power directly from Zeus, Chloe just thinks her father is one of Zeus's children, Chloe doesn't think that she is Zeus's biological child at all.
After hearing all that in her heart Theo harbors a sense of compassion for Chloe, and Theo promises in her heart that she will protect Chloe until her dream comes true, for the first time Theo had an incomprehensible feeling, even though he didn't say it, but Theo knows it was the right decision and Theo decides to stay in Ellada longer until Chloe's dream is achieved.

A Few Days Later: Chloe's Residence
Chloe ran in a hurry to immediately meet Theo who was inside her house, her face was radiant and so happy to hear the news, Chloe immediately relayed the message to Theo who was sitting dreamy.
"Of Andrew!" Chloe's yell breaks Theo's daydream
"Please, don't scream."
"The Olympus test is open, let's head downtown to take the test."
"What's in it for me?"
"If you want to quickly return to your world, this might be the fastest way."
Actually in Theo's heart, he did not want to leave Ellada quickly, because he had promised to realize Chloe's wishes first.
He thinks like he said, he thinks taking this exam can help Chloe reach her dream and he decides to take the Olympus exam to realize Chloe's hidden desire.
