8=l < Anonymous a%ed: > Why were you shackled? You mentioned that a few times. What does that mean? 8=l < Answer: 8=l < It is meant in a literal sense 8=l < Zeus commissioned me to make chains strong enough to hold Atlas himself under the guise of containing a titan 8=l < Then shackled me by magical means with them to the roof of my forge room so that I may neighver leave my palace 8=l < Mnemosyne took away my memory of the whole event so I didn't know who made the chains or why I'd been shackled 8=l < I was trapped for around four thousand years 8=l < People c001d come, but often didn't 8=l < When I brought cellular technology to the gods I was able to speak to others through te%t at minimum 8=l < Sometimes my e% wife Aphrodite w001d come, taunt me, throw things at my head 8=l < I got good at hearing the whistle and blocking the projectile befoal it hit me 8=l < Hermes and Dionysus remaneed occasional visitors 8=l < Ares abandoned me when he took fancy with Aphrodite instead 8=l < The chains attached around my ankles and w001d turn intangible when I wasn't interacting with them 8=l < But they always manifested when I reached the edges of my "enclosure" 8=l < If I removed my legs, they manifested upon my wrists instead 8=l < I event001ly tore the chain out of the roof myself about a month and a half ago 8=l < Highly motivated by a rather traumatic event right out of my reach 8=l < But I was still trapped dragging the chains as the act broke the intangibility spell 8=l < It wasn't until Moros came that I gained true freedom 8=l < A chthonic god has more power than Zeus, and he sprung the loc% and granted me freedom I haven't known since the world wonders were still being built 8=l < I carried the chains with me for a convenient t001 to bind a god sh001d the need arise 8=l < But after learning I was the one who made them I discarded them as I don't want the reminder anymore 8=l < And I have better methods of subduing another god
