Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Ok, that works... And I was planning on making Endymion's growing up harder than they originally thought anyways, so it will probably take until nightfall))

Chronos turns, staring at Adel with wide golden eyes, "Huh?" His voice was small and innocent, "Oh... Yes, I did...." He gave no further explanation as he looks to Endymion again. Apollo chuckles. Chronos had always been an eccentric god, but he was utterly brilliant. But then again, anyone who organized the whole system of time effectively had to be brilliant.
Chronos suddenly shifts again, now at the body of a twelve-year old boy, like Dymion and Adel. He leans toward Endymion, inspecting his eyes. He explains in a casual voice, "Have you ever heard the saying that the eyes are the window to the soul? It's true.... The soul's age and the body's age can be totally different, and the only way to tell is through the soul..... Growing you up won't be easy, Dymion... And we may not be able to get done until tomorrow, but we'll see how everything goes...."
He places his hand on Endymion's temple, closing his own eyes as he gently delves into Endymion's mind and sifts very lightly through some memories, not pulling any of the harsher ones to the surface. He continues explaining, "The way it is now, your body and your soul are at an extreme imbalance and, as you can probably already tell, it can cause emotional and even physical distress.... The way to get you back to normal is to alleviate your body from having to fulfill its functions, creating an artificial womb-like state. This way, the mind can totally separate from the body. Then.... I must force you to revisit every memory you have ever experienced and those will be what grow your body. It will be mentally tiring and I'll expect you to have a huge headache afterwards, but in the end, you will be back in your own body."

Chronos opens his wide golden eyes, blinking for a moment, "You'll be more in a sort of coma.... but one that we can wake you from at any time.... But yes, your body will not be conscious.... The good news about the memories though is that they don't need to be remembered so much in detail. It will be more along the line of recalling major events in your life.... It may be hard to remember, but I'll be probing the deep recesses of your mind for memories that you can't even pull up in your mind." He smiles as if very pleased with himself.
Apollo catches on slowly; he had seen Chronos do this once, "And it's a totally controlled state, right??? Will I be able to contact Endymion during it?" Chronos nods, "Although I won't encourage you to stick around and chat... just for special occasions, hm?" Apollo nods. Chronos looks back to Endymion, "So, when do you want to start?"

Apollo wraps an arm around Endymion, as if trying to give him some courage simply through the embrace alone.
Chronos nods, "Of course, of course, it's probably better you let it all sink in anyways.... But I want you to prepare yourself slightly.... The body, even if it is in an induced coma, reacts to what is going on in the mind... I don't know anything of your past, Endymion, but if you have some memories that are particularly-... haunting.... Then it may be best not to eat anything beforehand... Now don't worry about what I see, I won't be seeing your memories, my primary job is just to pull them to the forefront of your mind. I won't be sitting back and watching. Your secrets will remain safe..." He chuckles before suddenly shifting to a young man, looking to be in his early twenties.

Chronos tilts his head in confusion when he saw Adel leaving. He cocks and eyebrow and looks to Apollo, silently questioning.
But Apollo knew exactly why Adel had left so quickly and a bit of guilt stirred in them. It wasn't his fault, but he hated to see the young boy hurt anyways. He rubs Endymion's back slowly and finally says in a soft voice, "I think Adel needs one last hour of playtime... He's going to miss seeing you this way..."

Apollo joined them a moment later, walkng outside and immediately seeing what they needed. He glanced around to make sure no one was watching, before the board lifted p from the ground and levitated to the tree they had picked, "Are the plans still the same for it?? Or do we want it lower or higher?"

Apollo was inspecting the work when here heard the doorbell ring from afar. In slight confusion, he glances to his watch, just now noticing the time. His eyes widen a bit. So Mr. Richter was late, he knew he shouldn't have been too surprised. He looks to Endymion and Adel, "That's probably your father, Adel, let's go in and meet him, hm?"

Apollo paused just outside the sitting room door and looks to Adel, rubbing his shoulder comfortingly. He says very softly to Adel's mind, having only communicated this way with the young boy a couple of times. But he needed a way to tell Adel without his father overhearing, "Adel.... If you ever feel uncomfortable or want him to leave, tell us, ok?... I'm not assuming that you will, but I just want you to know, just in case..." He gives Adel a comforting smile before letting him lead the way into the room and following with Endymion.

Apollo froze with that look and suddenly anger was pulsing through his veins. This man was assuming far too much and Apollo almost considered beating the truth into him, but he knew that it wouldn't solve anything. Adel would make the decision he thought was right and he had no right to keep the boy here if he wanted to be with his father. But just the fact that this an who knew nothing about him would suspect him of being a child molester made his blood boil. He leans against the far wall, his face impassive.
