The little boy is running through the valley playing with a white owl. The sound of his laughter filled my ears. Running through the valley we reach the steps of the large temple, which pillars reached towards the skies, and there stands my mother smiling down at me. The sun hitting her pale complexion just right. Her once innocent eyes gone and replaced a new type of happiness, one her mother could never give her. "Scarlet" my mother called me.
Throwing my hands in the air for her to pull me into her loving arms. As I look up the sky suddenly turns pitch black and the white owl flew away with a sense of urgency. Looking back my once loving mother had turned into a warrior. In her black armored dress and a sharp crown of hellfire set atop her head, rose to meet the oncoming foe. As she rose my view became blurry to the point they were just dots.
I wake up. Snapping my head up I slowly turn my head to stare at the sweat stain left on my pillow, I sigh. Remembering that day always makes me sad and depressed. On a more boring note, I have to finish packing for when I leave for Olympus. Sadly it's not for the reasons I was hoping for. College is not as exciting as it's cracked up to be. My education has been a lonely path, it's been only me and my best friend Galia ever since I can remember. But that's about to change, cause today I'm going to Mt. Olympus to meet a lot of new people at school with people who i happen to be related to. I quickly finished packing and put on my favorite outfit that would proudly show my underworld heritage . I was wearing a simple white shirt where the back dipped down to the edge of the shirt to make my back exposed I leave it exposed because it shows off my tattoo. It's of a wolf howling up at the full moon and at the base of my neck is a simple black bat. My pants are a simple black leather with black knee high boots. My hair is up into a bun. I wanted to show them that I wasn't someone to be messed with. "My little girl is all grown up" Hades says
I turn to where I heard my fathers voice, there he stood in my dark doorway smiling, standing next to my mother, Persephone . "We were hoping to catch you before you left" my mother said sadly
"I would never leave without saying goodbye first" I say
"We know, but we were hoping to give you a gift before you left, it's just something you're father and I thought you needed to handle all those arrogant, lustfull gods" she said proudly but full of resentment towards those who are so called family .
My father handed me two axes with intricate curvy designs. One of them was golden yellow that impersonates the sun. While the other is midnight blue that could take the place of the night sky. Staring in awe, I trace my hand down the handle tracing each curve. "Thank you" I say greatfully
"That's not all, connect them and say, awaken HELLFIRE!!"
"Awaken HELLFIRE!!" I repeated
There was a big flash of light and then in my hand appeared a staff of blue and gold and the axe blades are now on the top and bottom of the staff. "Oh, father thank you" I gush.
"It Can also turn into a bow and a spear" he smirks.
"Wow" I gawk.
"You can Thank your uncle Hephaestus" my mother chimes in.
"I will" I agree.
"You must be going, your luggage is already at the academy and Galia is waiting for you with your chariot" she instructs.
My eyes turn red "Will my food be there" I ask.
"Yes, blood supplies have been delivered and are waiting in your dorm" my father answers.
If you didn't know I'm a vampire and a werewolf. I am these things because I am the goddess of the creatures of the night. I inhabit the traits of both creatures, the craving of blood, and the ability to shift into a wolf.
They then guide me down to the foyer and through the front gate. Standing there is Gaia with her chariot of horses. "I see you've finally made it" she says.
"You know i tend to run late" i snicker
"I know" she sighs
Behind her was the bridge , and beyond that was a massive crowd of people cheering and screaming as loud as they can. My father and mother walk towards the middle of the bridge and I follow. My father lifts up his hand to silence the crowd. "My people, today is a day of celebration, for my only daughter and heir is going to Mt Olympus's academy to learn their way of life. May she prosper" he yelled.
"May she prosper" the crowd repeated.
"Scarlet" he says turning to me.
I walk up and stand in front of my father "I am going to Mt Olympus for two things, to learn and two show those sky dwellers what we Underwolders are capable of" I pause "May the darkness be my guide" I yell to finish my speech.
The crowd starts to roar and yell. To say my goodbye I howl, I howled so loud and deep the whole underworld could hear it. It lasted a good 20 seconds. I could hear many join in and at the end I smile and wave to my people. I turn around and walk to the black stallions holding my chariot. I put my head to one and petted him and whispered "To Mt. Olympus"
He bucked as I secured myself on the chariot " ya" I yell. The horses started running and soon we were off the ground with not to far behind. I look back to see my mothers face buried in my fathers chest weeping. My father waves and I give him a curt nod before the earth in front of me crumbled and created a hole for me and Galia to travel to the land beneath Mt. Olympus. The hole closes up behind us. The sun was bright and pounding down on my skin. I cover my purple eyes and sneer. "We're here" I say with distain
"Mt.Olympus"
