K. we need to go back there. I'm sorry you guys but we do. If anyone doesnt want to go say now cuase danger, threat, introversion and risk is at stake. we will save all that has been taken from you but you need ot decide if you want to go as one or stay behind


message 452: by [deleted user] (new)

"Uh... first we need a plan before we know who is coming." I say, trying to delay the trip underground. "Plus we need supplies and... a bunch of other stuff." I say.


message 453: by [deleted user] (new)

rope
tape
food
water
clothes
First Aid


message 454: by [deleted user] (new)

"Don't have any of that." I say shrugging my shoulders. "Plus, sometimes the prophices don't happen for centuries." I say, trying to convince them to not go to Tartarus.


message 455: by [deleted user] (new)

ok and a plan i think we need oto go through the back. being the daughter of both athena and hades explains my knowledge and my understading on hell. we cant shadowtravel into hades grounds. not with ayone whose not a child of hades. how ive been claimed by 3 differnet gods is hard to beleive..by zeus i was claimed when i was younger but athena and hades. how does it make sense. anywho. kame your a daughter of who?? you might have skills that can help us

Ruby "Oh come on, kmae, we gotta go. And just forget about my arm, I can fix it." With a nod of my head the green goo was gone and my arm was totally normal.
Anyway, let's just get to Tartarus and figure it out from there, OK? Come on, let's go." I begin walking in one direction, then change my mind and come back to the group. "Umm, why don't we just shadow travel there? Zaynah? Maj? Are you feeling up to it? I know it takes a lot out of you..."

Ruby oh sry just ignore my comment


message 458: by [deleted user] (new)

i would but you cant shawodtravel into hades land with children who arent children of hades withough olympus consent.


message 459: by [deleted user] (new)

perhaps we should visit each one of houses to see whats been taken or who

we need to go to olympus and get the gods consent
then get our supplies
then go tot tartarus
then enter hell
then fight pass the gaurds
figure out whose been taken and where theyre kept
save them
bring them back safely

and then wait for another adventure to come our way who knows what we may pass.

MAJ
KMAE
RUBY

are you in!!!!

Maj "Back to Tartarus?" I say. "Have you lost your mind? Need I remind you that we barely escaped last time?"

"And it's not like we actually need permission. I mean, we can go anywhere where there're shadows. It's not like flying up to Olympus. If you really want it, you can shadowtravel anywhere you'd like. Though I must warn you, take the elevator to Olympus. They don't like unannounced visitors."

YOU GUYS. I HEARD SCREMS. PAINFUL SCREAMS AND SHOUTS OF AGONY. THAT COULD BE ASOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU. THAT COULD BE DANIEL (MY BEST FRIEND) OR IT COULD BE YOUR CAT MAJ OR SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU RUBY. DONT YOU GUYS CARE.


message 462: by [deleted user] (new)

are me and ruby the only ones willing to do this


message 463: by Maj (new) - rated it 3 stars

Maj "Fine, I'm in. But no more secrets. No more lies. No more hiding stuff, OK?" I ask.


message 464: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby "weeeeell actually, I have a few questions too... Like, why would the gods give their consent if they are plotting against us, and we can just shadowtravel to tartarus, and you've forgotten the rest of the prophecy, like the middle bit...
_retrieve what has been lost._ That's the next part, and what the heck does that mean??? I personally think we should think this through."


message 465: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 09, 2014 03:04PM) (new)

ok. Thank You Maj. KMAE,...ita up to you now. yeah or no

firstly we need to go home and see if in fact Daniel has been taken. you guys should go home and see whats been taken or whose been taken. yeah or cn u guess

well get the oracles consent...it stands for the same as gods. well bargain with him


message 468: by [deleted user] (new)

"Easy solution. Iris messages. No need to go home and check." I say simply. "None of the prophice parts have to-do with me. Nothing is lost, nothing is torn, nothing is taken." I say simply. "I'm unclaimed. I have no idea who's daughter I am. So I have no abilities that I know of. Neither of my parents ever disappeared. So I don't know if I even HAVE a godly parent. And neither of my parents are missing. No one I care about is gone or in trouble." I said with a shrug. "And we ALWAYS need a plan." I say to Ruby. "Its going to be a mess of craziness if we don't have a strategist. " I say sternly. I look down at her arm which was reforming the wound. "Ruby, do you feel alright? That cut of yours... I think its poisoned. Your mom might've done that." I said. I lunged forward and before Ruby could react, I slid my finger across the scratch goo. "Interesting." I observe as I look at the goop. "I'll hold onto this." I say, and walk over to a near by tree. I look around the tree bark and find a weak spot in its bark. I blow on the spot with a light breath. The bark peeled itself and broke in 2. I stuck the sample between the bark and blew on it once more. The bark sealed around the goop and became a sample case. I stuck it in my pocket good to go. "Sure. No secret stuff." I lie. "But I still don't see why I am needed on this quest. I'm no use. Just cause I am raised in the wild and I can do a little info guidance doesn't mean I should be on this huge quest."

Ruby "But... Why don't we go to Tartarus and follow the instructions? We go to where it all began, Tartarus, retrieve what has been lost...I suppose that could be our loved ones, but the next line is save what has been taken, which has to be our loved ones, and prophecies aren't usually redundent like that... Hey, maybe it doesn't mean something material, what about something like our friendship or... no...no... what about..."

Ruby "Wait... kmae, were you an orphan? Did you ever have any human company if you were in the forest?"


message 471: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 09, 2014 03:14PM) (new)

gimme 5 min you guys. im going to new york, i have a bad feeling


message 472: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby "Because if so, the "retrieve what has been lost" could mean to find your parents... Maybe you aren't a demigod... maybe you are half a wood nymph or something... Your parents might know what to do!"


message 473: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby ok


message 474: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby "YES!!!" I shout excitedly. "The memories of your parents!"


message 475: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby "That's what has been lost! The memories of kmae's mom and dad! Somehow, that is connected with this whole... scenario!"


message 476: by [deleted user] (new)

i shadowtravel to NY. i run up the stairs to my uncles and aunts manor where i've been living for 16 year. i grab the keys from under the door mat and open the door. the house is quiet. i run up the steps and open the door quitly the music room is silent. the house looks fine. so sign of struggle.

i run the the steps and out the house, i run down the road and across the street. i gulp and open the door to daniels. the house s destroyed. the table upturned, the furniture ripped and the ceiling and walls pealed. a streak of scarlett is smeared across the marble floor. i shout daniels name but hes gone. no ones answers. his parents weren't in America anyway but he should have been..

now im sure that hes gone and ii have to get him back. i shadowtravel back to my friends.

daniels gone. he been taken

suddenly i break down. sink to the ground and burst into tears.


message 477: by [deleted user] (new)

daniel knew about my truth but he wasnt a demi god why...why was he involved in this


message 478: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby "Aww, don't cry, it's OK, we'll get him back, we've already figured out the first bit of the riddle, now we just need to do the hard part, saving everybody!"


message 479: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 09, 2014 03:34PM) (new)

"Orphan? No no no. Maybe. Why does it matter? Of course I had human company in the forest!! I had George!" I say nervously but I tryed to make it like it was no big deal. "Be careful, Zaynah. In New York, that is. There is no life there. Only what is to replace life." I say just before she vanishes into thin air. I shuttered at the thought of New York. Dead. Very dead there. I shake the thought and turn back to Ruby. "My... my parents were human. Defiantly. They would be of no help." I stumble nervously. "I remember them fine. I loved them so much." I say with a warm smile at the memory. "I had two little sisters. We lived in a cabin up here. I look just like my dad and act like my mom. Mom would let us play in the fresh snow with dad and have a snow ball fight. We'd come in all wet and mom would put out clothes over the fire and gives us hot chocolate. Brianna and Gwendolyn were always so happy when I had a chocolate mustache..." I stopped myself before I spilled my whole story out. "But thats not important." I say sternly. "My memories are not the key." I said. I turn and start walking towards Poseidon's Stream.


message 480: by [deleted user] (new)

no. he might die. humans cant go into tartarus without pain. he....i sob harder

Ruby "Uh huh. I know you're lying, kmae. It's OK to tell us! What are you trying to hide? Just spill!"


message 482: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby "And, kmae, how do you know they weren't hiding things? And how ever did you end up in the forest? They died? Yes. They did. Didn't they?"


message 483: by [deleted user] (new)

my parents died when i was a baby. i cant lose daniel too. hes my best friend. maybe more. no zaynah shut up. not more. Friend.

that makes me cry harder though. i put my head in my hands and sob


message 484: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 09, 2014 03:36PM) (new)

"No. Your wrong. You don't know anything about me or my past. You know what you need to. Now, listen carefully. I'm not part of the quest. I'm NOTHING special!" I shout, voice quivering from the memories. I start running towards the river as fast as I could.


message 485: by [deleted user] (new)

i stand up and stop ruby before she goes after kmae


message 486: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby I roll my eyes and twirl my fingers in the air. Immediately kmae freezes and I slowly float her back towards the group, unfreezing her only when I know she is truly ready. "Now, we have no secrets anymore, ya hear? Now, spill."


message 487: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 09, 2014 03:38PM) (new)

"Ok. Fine. Were do I start?" I say sweetly.


message 488: by [deleted user] (new)

message 489: by [deleted user] (new)

message 490: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby I look over my shoulder at Zaynah and say, "Just wait a second OK?" I look back at kmae and say, ingoring her tone, "The beginning."


message 491: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 09, 2014 03:46PM) (new)

"Ok. Well..." I mouth I'm sorry to everyone. I take out the root sample I was holding back the whole time. I whip it out of my pocket and smash it on the ground in-front of me. It releases the drowsy gas like a bomb. I hear 3 bumps and see 3 motionless bodies through the smoke. It clears and I see all trio sleeping peacefully on the dead leaves. "I'm truly sorry." I say, on the verge of tears. What have I done? I run away and use my hunting skills to make sure no one will find me. I see the river and dash towards it. I slow and sit down at the bank. I wept from memories to what I've done.

Some time later we awake from a long and peaceful sleep. my cheeks dry with tears. i see Maj still asleep but ruby awaken. I close my eyes and try to sense kame but i don't see her.


message 494: by Ruby (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ruby "Kmae? kmae? Where'd she go? Oh, wait, let me find her..." I close my eyes and suddenly we are all transported to where kmae sat, crying. "Oh. Um, hello, kmae... I just want to know one thing, why? What are you so afraid of? What is it? You don't have to hide any longer, kmae. Just tell us."


message 495: by [deleted user] (new)

were here for you ok. its fine tell us ok. i think we've all lost something before. be it a friend or a pet or even a picture. memories are memoirs. there something that bind us to our past and brings our life to reality. live it happily, freely without fear or shame. just live!
