Hey, so, this might seem weird but...

The last time I had weird dreams that had real-life consequences and saw things that were kind of there but not really, I had all of my powers and strength taken from me. It was not fun. I seem to be okay this time around, but, uh...

Maybe someone else isn't?

Consider this a way to check in! Is everyone doing okay?

[What is your life? thinks the demigod.

To be honest, he doesn't really care whether everyone is doing okay, or care to disclose whether or not he is okay, but he's curious. And bored.]

What powers?

[keythatconnects]

You know, magic and cool moves and stuff?

[wakemelater]

Cool moves are a power?

[keythatconnects]

They are when your weapon glows and slashes through monsters like nothing, or when energy bursts out from the attack and stuns any monsters around?

[wakemelater]

Isn't that more the weapon's power...?

[Whatever. Never mind.]

So you fight monsters? Are you some kind of hero?

[keythatconnects]

Maybe it's both?

And I'd say! I've saved a bunch of worlds!

[wakemelater]

Worlds? More than one?

[keythatconnects]

Yeah. I mean, we are in space right? It's pretty established there are more than one....

It's the same for me where I came from.

[wakemelater]

Duh.

[He gets the visiting multiple worlds thing. Going to different planets is still kind of weird.]

Visiting and saving are different things, though.

[keythatconnects]

Well you got me there!

I also have to get used to being able to say I'm from other worlds. Back home, we had to worry about world order. Sometimes we'd even use magic to make sure we could blend in with the locals.

Here, space travel is well known and the planets we go to know we're not just from some 'distant land' or 'far away waters' or whatever else I'd have to say to get them to not freak out.

[wakemelater]

Sounds like a lot of work.

Does all that world hopping have anything to do with the weird dreams you mentioned before?

[keythatconnects]

Sorta. The weird dreams I has was because of this really bad guy trying to take my heart and my powers.

He only got the second one, but my friends saved my heart.

[wakemelater]

Literal heart, or figurative?

[And which one makes more sense?]

[keythatconnects]

Huh? What does that mean?

[wakemelater]

...Um.

Did he want to take your actual beating heart out of your body, or take away your ability to ... feel ... stuff. Emotionally. Like love, and, I don't know, wanting to hug things.

[keythatconnects]

He wanted to take the part of me that makes me me.

[wakemelater]

...Ah.

But he failed, you said? But got your powers?

[keythatconnects]

Yeah that's pretty much how that went down.

I was really lucky. I had people looking out for me.
