Returning to the Land of Dreams was something out of a nightmare. Morpheus kept everything dark, scary, and depressing. Angels greeted Morpheus and Overia on sight, yet froze at the sight of me. Frozen in fear.

Both Morpheus and Overia also took second glances at me. It was obvious that my appearance had changed when I entered the land of Dreams. I was yet to see how.

I caught my reflection once I entered the temple of Hypnos. With the activation of my powers on Earth, I took my proper form in the Heavens. My arms swelled with muscles that rivaled Zeus himself. I grew a long golden beard that matched my golden wings. I felt a new source of power fuel my entire body.

"I want to shave." I said as I pulled at my beard.

"Dude, you look just like Cronus."

I couldn't help but take both my hands and run them over my beard. It was so full, and not really my style.

"Why don't you have a beard?" I whined.

"I don't know," Morpheus said. "Go free dad."

I glared at Morpheus. It was obvious that he was too afraid to free his father.

I wondered what I would say to my father as I made my way to the dungeon. As I traveled down the stairwell I began to have flashbacks of walking down here as a child. I remembered being chained to the wall begging for mercy and for freedom.

I haven't decided on whether or not I wanted my dad to beg, the way he made me beg.

The malicious thoughts caused Teri to cross my mind. She was such a gentle and forgiving soul. She was never mad at me, even when she had reason to be. She even forgave Morpheus without a second thought.

Even Monica showed mercy and forgiveness. She never asked for anything to benefit herself.

When I reached the base of the stairs I saw Hypnos chained to the wall. He looked at me with pitiful eyes. It was clear that he was hurting.

"Cronus?" Hypnos asked in fear.

"No father. It is I, Elliotes." I told him. "I have returned home."

He looked at me weakly as I went to unchain him. "I have dealt with Morpheus. There is no need for him to be punished. For I am the one who freed you."

It was the best I could do to convince our father not to beat Morpheus without mercy once he regained his strength. The fact was, his wife was in danger and we were more than ready to fight alongside him

I told Father of my travels as I carried him up the stairs. I told him about being locked away until I was rescued by a five-year-old. I told him how her final wish was that I save my mother. I told him about all the secrets that he hid from us.

"I would like to return to her," I told my father. "That's my family now."

"The life you wish to live is forbidden." My father warned.

"By whose standards?" I challenged him. "After I free both my mothers from Zeus and announce my presence I will be in charge of all the Lands."

"Watch your mouth boys."

"I am Elliotes, son of Cronus and Elpis, raised by Hypnos and Pasithea. I am the God of Hopes and Dreams and Rainbow Jellybeans." I yelled at my father. It did sound a lot cooler in my head.

I heard the sound of laughter from Overia and Morpheus. I probably should have left the jelly bean part out but the look on my father's face was priceless. He tried to glare at us in his weakened state but a smile slipped out.

"Are all my children home?" Hypnos asked.

Even after everything that has happened in life, the concern on Hypnos' face when it comes to his children. They were not the smartest.

It reminded me of how Monica would look at Teri.

The thought of those two girls made me smile. They freed me from my own prison and allowed me to live with them until it was time to go. Their life was placed in danger because of me and not once did they complain.

"It is time to save both my moms. Will you help me, father?" I asked one final time.

Hypnos nodded. Finding them will not be simple. They are probably heavily guarded.

Then again they are in a jar. They could have been tossed from the Heavens like I was. I knew one thing, with the help of my siblings and this newfound power, I can find them and return home to my family.

"Just because your brother is home Morpheus doesn't mean you are off the hook for what you did to me." I heard my father yell.

"I'm sorry." Morpheus pleaded.

"Knock it off. We need to work together to find mom." Overia ordered.

I am Elliotes. Son of Cronus the God of Time, and Elpis the Goddess of Hope. Raised by Hypnos the God of Sleep and Pasithea the Goddess of Relaxation.

I am no longer the God of Empty Dreams. I am the God of Hopes and Dreams and Rainbow Jellybeans. A title given with the highest of honors.
