Chapter Nineteen

I had never been so happy to leave a place in my life. Seeing the iron doors that led to the outside world took a load off my mind. Until I remembered the last of the visions I saw. Athena, Adrian, and Adronis were dead. What if they suffered the same fate as Brandy and my parents?

“Wait. Don’t open the doors yet,” I squeaked from the back.

“Why? What’s wrong?” Hera asked, putting her arms around my shoulders.

“After the fight with Atlas, someone was taunting me. Some guy. I kept seeing visions of my best friend falling into a bottomless pit, dying. I saw my parents, the ones who raised me, lying in the middle of the street in Athens crushed by the rubble of our balcony. Then I saw Athena, Adronis and Adrian lying outside those doors. They were dead.”

“That doesn’t necessarily mean they are in fact dead,” a tall, dark haired man said.

“It doesn’t?”

“No.”

“So they could be alive?” I asked.

“Yes they could.”

“How do you know?”

“I’m the lord of this realm.” He smiled.

“You’re Hades?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Then let’s open the doors.” The tears were flowing again. I couldn’t seem to stop them now that they started. I didn’t feel like a mighty goddess.

Hera reached out and hugged me. I took a deep breath preparing for the worst on the other side. Zeus and Ares pushed on the doors. They creaked to life and moved. Cerberus was standing next to them. Same spot as when we had entered. I looked around but didn’t see anybody. They were dead. They had to be. Why else wouldn’t they be here? I heard rustling from the left and looked. It was Adrian. I ran to him, wrapping my arms around his neck and letting the sobs escape my throat. I didn’t bother hiding them.

“Cara, what’s wrong?”

In between sobs I was able to get it out. “I thought you were dead!”

“Why would you think that?” he asked.

“I was shown a vision of you, Athena, and Adronis dead. I thought I’d lost you.”

“I’m fine. Don’t be afraid.” He hugged me closer and kissed the top of my head.

“Adrian?” Aphrodite stepped forward with tears in her eyes.

“Mom! Dad! You’re alright,” he let me go and ran to his parents.

Adronis and Athena emerged from the trees that were off to the side. Adronis ran to his parents and the four of them embraced. I looked at Athena and saw the tears streaming down her face. I bit my lip and walked to her. She wrapped her arms around me and held me close. I could hear her heart beating faster.

“You did great, honey.”

“Thanks, Athena. Mom,” I cried.

“We have one heck of a daughter, Athena,” Ares said, standing next to us.

“That we do,” she said, hugging me tighter.

“If everybody is done crying, how about we go save the world?” Zeus asked.

“Sounds good,” Apollo said.

“If it’s alright, I’d like to get the souls sorted so that they can go to judgment,” a handsome, blonde man said, standing on the bank of the Styx.
