God of...

     Jim and company arrive at their hotel. It was massive and beautiful. Jim looked it over and did not see anyone inside. "Looks abandoned." He said. "See the doors are barred shut and the windows are boarded on the ground floor."  Jim walks up to the door and easily removes the chains. "Not that this would stop us. The question is why bother with it at all? Did they plan on coming back later and reopening?" Jim walks inside followed by Susan and Astros. "No matter, let's find some room keys.  There are probably some at the front desk." They walk over to the desk and begin searching.

      "Found the blank cards!" Susan exclaimed. "This hotel uses card keys with these I can make us keys for whatever room we want."

      "That's great Susan!" Jim replied. "How did you know how to do this?"

     "Oh I worked in a hotel a bit before I had my kids." Susan replied. "Just give me a second and I will have the key done."  After a key moments on the computer, she exited from behind the desk with a smile. "I got us the penthouse. It has multiple bedrooms so we only need one key."  She looks around and sees the elevator. "That must be our ticket up."

       After the elevator ride they explore the penthouse suite.  It had solid gold plating on everything. It looks like a palace. "Wow this place is amazing." Jim said. "We sure are lucky you knew how to make that key Susan."

     "Well I can't take all the credit." Susan responded. "Had the employees not left the login information right next to the computer, I would not have been able to do it.  So thank the bad employees as well." Susan pauses for a moment and looks Jim directly in his eyes. "Jim, Astros knows a way to find out what kind of god you are. Would you be willing to do it?"

     "Sure." Jim said. "I'm actually extremely curious about it myself.  I mean I have these new instincts that just tell me what to do, and everything seems just incredibly easy.  I mean we got the military on our side in under a minute. That crowd earlier is on our side now. I would really like to know why all this is happening so easily."  Jim turns to Astros. "So what do I need to do."

    "Remove all your clothes." Astros said with a smile.

    "Ok… don't see why I would need to get naked, but it's your ritual." Jim began to strip.

    "Oh trust me it's extremely important." Astros said as he was taking Jim in. "Now after your done stripping come over here and sit on the floor in front of me."  Jim did so. "Excellent now close your eyes and place both your hands on top of your head." Jim did so. Now think only of your godhood, what makes you a god."

     Jim's face contorted as he focused on his ever essence of godhood. After a few moments Astros placed his hand on Jim's head.  As soon as he made contact Jim passed out onto the floor. He was now in a dream state and finding the truth about himself was all up to him.  "Where am I?" Jim asked in his dream. "Everything is dark." Jim tries to look around but everywhere he looks is just a void. "Hello!" Jim yells out.  After a couple of minutes a bright light appeared in front of Jim. It was brighter than the sun. "Hello?" Jim asked the orb of light hoping that it would be able to communicate with him.

       Then a voice resonated from the orb that filled the entire void. "Jim." It said. "I am you and you are me."

       "What?" Jim was now confused.

       "I am the part of you that is divine, I have always been within you but your ritual with the other god has brought me out."  The voice pauses for a second. "Thank you."

       "So you are me? But you are the god me?" Jim was really trying to wrap his head around the whole situation. "Am I still me now that I am a god?  Or are you me now?" Jim was getting dizzy in his confusion.

      "You are still you and I am me, but I am also you and you are also me." The voice responded.

      "I don't really get it." Jim said. "Could you at least answer my question?"

      "Without you even asking I know what your question is. For I am you, and you are me." The voice responded.  "For that same reason you should also know your answer before I even say it."

     "Oh I think I kind of get it now.  You what is driving my instincts, telling me what to do in each situation to get the best result." Jim said to the voice, hoping he had figured it out.  "Even still could you tell me what I am?"

     "We are a god." The voice replied.

    "Yes, yes I know we are a god." Jim responded. "But what kind of god are we? Like what are we the god of?"

      "Victory." The voice said loud. "Absolute Victory."  With that the orb shot inside of Jim's body and he shined brighter than the sun.

     Meanwhile in the real world, Astros had taken his clothes off as well and was now sitting on the floor with Jim's head in his lap.  While Jim was uncoinious he just held on to him and stroked his hair.

     "That really necessary Astros?" Susan asked.

     "Very." Astros responded. "I am keeping him tied to this world so that he does not get lost in the void.  It is actually quite dangerous ritual."

     "Dangerous?!" Susan yelled. "You never mentioned that it was dangerous! I would not have asked for it if I knew Jim was going to be in danger!"

    "Hush fairy girl, I am sure Jim will make it back to us." Astros said as he continued to stroke Jim's long silver hair. Just then Jim gasped for hair and opened his eyes. His irises were now like pure gold. "Welcome back." Astros said to Jim has he looked down on him.

    "Astros, why is my head in your lap?" Jim asked.

    "It was necessary." Astros said.

    "And why are you naked." Jim asked.

    "Also necessary." Astros replied with a smile.

    "Well enough of that." Jim says as he gets up off of Astros' lap. "That was one of the weirdest experiences I have had so far and that's saying something considering all we have been through."

      "You ok Jim?" Susan asked. "Astros just told me how dangerous it was."

      "I'm fine, a bit confused but fine." Jim answered. "I was talking to myself in a void, well it said it was me, but I don't know, it answered my question at least."

      Astros got up off the floor as well. "So, what did they say?" Astros asked. "We gods all did this eons ago, so it has been a while since anyone had done it. I remember when I did mine, that mirror just showed me all of my beauty.  Oh it was ever so wonderful."

      "Well it just told me two words, Absolute Victory." Jim said. "So I guess I am a god of Victory whatever that means. Or rather a god of Absolute Victory."

       "Hmmm, never heard of a god of victory before." Astros replied. "But you are the first new god, and the only god that was part human. What an intriguing prospect." Astros puts his hand on Jim's shoulder. " Let's test it out."

      "Um before you do, could you please get dressed?" Asked Susan.

     "Oh right, forgot I was naked." Jim replied. After Jim and Astros get dressed the conversation continues. "How do you want to test it?"

     "Rock, paper, scissors. We will play that game a hundreds times and we how many a god of victory wins." Astros smiled as he assumed the position to begin the game.

     "Sounds fair." Jim said. They played a hundred games back to back. "Well Looks like its a hundred wins for me and a hundred losses for you.  This just breaks all laws of probabilities."

     "Right." Said Susan, "With only a thirty three percent chance of victory, you should not win one hundred games in a row.  It should be equally as hard to lose that many in a row."

      "I wonder if this means you can never lose, at anything." Said Astros and he rubbed his chin.  "That's handy, so you can create anything that makes victory happen, destroy anything that stands in victory's way, and just straight up always succeed at everything you do?"

      "Seems like it." Said Jim. "Explains why everyone just gives into me so fast, they are compelled by my victory."

      "What worries me, is the Absolute part." Astros said. "Does that mean if someone is in the way of your victory, that they just die?  Could be dangerous, I remember gods of war causing mortals to kill themselves just be walking down the street." Astros thinks for a moment. "Of course not every god could be as lucky as I am, and be blessed with the gift of never ending beauty."

      "Your right Astros, this power does seem dangerous. So since my objective right now is global conquest…" Jim pauses. "Anyone that stands in the way of it will either be converted to my side, or killed…"
