Role Play Forum Mt.Olympus

Cerberus: " No clue, he said he was returning to the underworld but he could be watching us somewhere or running about with his wife. I could care less, I have some alone time and I'm going to spend it with this fine wine here," a small hiccup escaped from my mouth.

I head down to the lake and begin to pace, fuming. "Great." I mutter "I can't step foot across that stupid boundary line without being attacked by some-some thing! How am I supposed to continue my job? You can't be a good thief if you have monsters giving you away. Grr!" I pick up a stone and throw it across the lake, watching as it lands with a tiny splash in the distance. "Why did I have to be born like this?" I growl in frustration "Isn't it enough that I've no family other than some deity who I'd rather not know? Isn't it enough that I've had to resort to a life of crime to live?" I throw another rock and look up "Well, apparently, it isn't, not for you guys up there. You just have to go out and get familiar with someone every so often, don't you? Did you ever think about the fact that perhaps kids might not want to be half-god? Huh?" I demand "Because, news flash!" I curl my hands into fists "I DON"T!" I yell.

Aphrodite-I hear all this and sigh.I appear behind her in the shape of a young girl."Why are you yelling?"I ask quietly.

"Because I'm tired of my life, that's why." I tell the kid, throwing another rock "I'm tired of doing everything I can to make it better, but have it only get worse." I throw another rock "Good enough answer?" I ask roughly "Or do you want the details?"

Aphrodite-"uummm...details i guess."I say.

I sit down, drawing my knees up to my chest, wrapping my arms around them, and rest my head on my knees. "Well, you're the only one, including myself." I say emotionlessly "My life has been a series of letdowns, I didn't think people like hearing about stuff like that, I know I don't." I pause as I realize something "Wait, why would you care anyways?"

Aphrodite -"beacause when a girl starts screaming and yelling furiously in the woods I like to know why."I say. Stashia-i can't stop crying.

I look out over the water "Well, what else am I supposed to do? Keep it all bottled up inside until I burst and hurt someone? It's not like I've got someone to confide in or lean on or anything. And, no offense, kid, but I'm not to crazy about shareing stuff like that with you."

Aphrodite -"I don't expect you to and you shouldn't keep it inside but I do think that you should find someone to confide in."I say. Stashia-My sobs rack my body one after the other until I feel I can't cry anymore.Once I stop crying I feel like an idiot. I stand up and move over to Europia who is waiting for me by a tree."my mom's dead."I say.Europia bows her great head over my shoulder.I start crying into her fur.

"Yes, because everyone wants to listen to a thief complain about life." I get up "Thanks for the advice, kid, but some things you just can't understand or talk about." I start to run. I don't know where, and I don't care, just so long as I don't have to stay still. I impatiently wipe away the tears that had escaped. "Crying doesn't help anything." I wisper to myself.

Stashia-once I finish crying I feel empty inside.my mom is dead I don't know my dad and apparently I have a sister who I barely even know.I just lay there next to Europia.

Aphrodite -I shake my head and whistled for Luna she comes in her playful firey form."come on girl lets get back to Olympus."I say.I mount her and we take off.I look up and see the stars.I urge Luna up higher and higher until we are above the dark night clouds.the land is blanketed with the beautiful night and Luna turns to her water form to match the night sky.We are so high up that I can see the little dots that are planets.they are in an irregular pattern which is almost a line. I gasp."the prophecy "I whisper. "And the planets will align and aid in their escape."I recite a line from the ancient oracle's prophecy about the Titans imprisoned in Tartarus." Luna home now!"I shout frantically.my alarmed mood is what she picks up on and we race towards Olympus, my eyes water at the blinding speed we are going.
