I finally came to a decision. After thinking for a long while, and being hurried constantly by Mr. Stingy who was getting more and more impatient I came to what I believe was a perfect choice, it would help me get noticed by others, it would generally help me in the world, and it was something I always wanted.
"Make me the most handsome person in the world." I said, visibly excited out of pride for my choice.
The bored god instantly went back to its snarky voice, "You know I said within reason, does most handsome in the world sound reasonable. Well it's ok, you were excited, and I'm feeling generous, so instead of most handsome in the world, I'd make you most handsome in the academy."
"Now, it's time for the real fun!" I could feel the menacing grin I believed Mr. Stingy made as he announced my departure, "Good luck, Mortal."
And then everything went black.
