Divine academy

My mountain come

Bolt and the stranger waited together at the elevator, waiting to head to their final stop. Bolt remained quite and so does the stranger, it was a really awkward scene and neither of them began a conversation or looked at each other ever since they board the elevator. Bolt was still feeling uneasy with all that has been happening, he first find out he had superpowers and second this weird guy dragging him trough a magical elevator that just happen to be behind a bookshelf.

And there were many mysteries that are yet to be uncover, but bolt decided to be patient because he knew that good things come to those who wait.

Bolt wanted to lessen the awkward atmosphere by trying to engage in a conversation with the stranger but he couldn't find anything to talk about, until... He realized he never ask his name. It was getting weird calling him stranger all the time, and since they're going to be together for a while he might as well know his name.

"Um... I forgot to ask what's your-" He started, but got cut off when the stranger suddenly looked like he had a melt down. "Uh... are you okay?" Bolt ask in concern.

"Not really... this coat is starting to melt my entire body, and it doesn't help that we're in an elevator. I gotta get out of this thing." He started to take off his coat and revealed his inner clothes.

Bolt can see he was wearing a strange yellow goldish outfit that looked like they were made out of window drapped, and he was wearing an ancient looking sandals too. Bolt wondered if he haven't moved on from the ancient era, but those clothes may looked ancient but they radiate a very powerful aura.

It didn't take bolt too long for bolt to realized what kind of God his mysterious friend is.

"Wait a second... those outfits... Are you a... Greek God?" Bolt asked in astonishment and the stranger just laughed.

"Oh man... I was planning on telling you after we made it but I guess since the cat is out of the bag. I might as well tell you." He started glowing brightly and bolt saw now he was wearing a winged helmet and his sandals have wings on them as well, "The name's hermes, messenger of the gods. Divine trickster and a full-service delivery boy."

Bolt blinked, "Hermes?! As in the Greek God hermes?!" hearing that statement made hermes laugh and then he nodded.

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe it! You are real!" Bolt was ecstatic.

"Of course I'm real." Hermes remarked

"Oh gods, I always wanted to meet you. I have so many questions-"

"Okay okay kid, I get it you're charmed to meet me. And like I said, all of your questions will soon be answered as soon as we made it to our destinations." Hermes stopped bolt before he can asked anymore questions.

It didn't take too long for them to arrived at their final stop, the elevator door slowly open and a soft but fast breeze started kicking in which made it impposible for bolt to see. After that followed a gentle but bright light that didn't made bolt blind, it slowly calm down and bolt and hermes made their way out.

Bolt was amazed to see they are at a huge place with gold palaces and building and white shiny marbled floors on every directions, the place was also decorated with plants and flowers that bolt didn't recognized on every nook and cranny of the place. Bolt can also breath the air that almost smells... Divine, the air here was so different that it was hard for bolt to adjust to it.

"Welcome to Mount Olympus in Grece, you might want to be careful; not many mortals can get used to the aether here. The air we Gods breath."

"Mount Olympus?! Unbelievable! How in the world did an elevator takes us all the way from the USA to Greece?" Bolt ask in shocked.

"Dude, it's hard explaining it. But, that's just how we Gods travel. Using magical transportation, and that elevator is one of them."

"Do the book store owner know about this?"

"Not a bit, we like being secretive about this things. And the reason we choose that place is because that's where you would always go, and it was perfect for when I brought you here." Hermes explained

"I... Think I get it... A little."

"Come on hero boy, follow me to the Parthenon. There's someone who wants to meet you." Hermes started walking and bolt followed.

Bolt wonder who is it that wants to meet him, I mean this person just send hermes to pick bolt up and anything picked up by hermes is always something important.

They walked trough Olympus and bolt could see many nymphs and servants living here as well, the Gods doesn't lived in isolation and it looks like everyone here is happy. Bolt kept admiring the beauty that Olympus has to offer, when Mr. Benjamin learn that bolt went to mount Olympus he's going to be so jealous. But... Bolt decided maybe that's not a good idea telling someone about this place since the Gods valued their privacy.

After an hour, they made it to a huge grandstair that lead all they way to the top where the Parthenon is. Bolt gasped seeing that they have to climb that high just to get to the Parthenon, but hermes managed to convice him to do it.

So bolt and hermes climb each huge steps while also trying to hurry, but the more steps bolt took the more it feels like he wasted a huge amount of energy. Hermes asked if they should stop; but bolt convinced hermes they should keep going.

Soon after an hour, they finally made it. Bolt and hermes were happy they finally arrived with bolt fainting the minute their at the huge doorsteps. Hermes laugh seeing bolt trying to gasp for air, "Bro, sorry I didn't said this sooner but... I could have teleport us instead. I am the god of travel, it's one of my speciality."

Bolt didn't said anything, he was too tired to even get angry at hermes.

Soon after bolt have recovered, hermes open the huge door and the two of them enter.

The inside was as as huge as the outside, twelve gigantic thrones dominate this place in a U shaped. And there was a long blue carpet that lead straight from the door to there, bolt can also see a huge chandelier from the ceiling as well.

Bolt also noticed a huge figure standing in the middle front of the thrones looking back, and hermes called out to whoever it is.

"Hey dad! I brought him just like you said." Hermes yelled and it echoed trough the room.

The figure looked behind him and saw bolt, he immediately was ecstatic.

"Bolt!" He walks towards him.

And now he was standing in front of him, bolt gulped seeing the big gigantic God in front of him. "Bolt meet Zeus, the king of the Gods and also my dad." Hermes said.

"What?! Zeus?!" Bolt screamed

Not only did bolt managed to get a chance to see mount Olympus but he also managed to meet Zeus, the king of the Greek Gods. It looks like bolt is getting more than what he bargained for.
