——————————————————————————————————

We are falling. The sounds of monster congregating down bellow haunts us. Thunder pounds in their ears. Wind rushed passed there heads. The aftermath of the battle flashes through there eye's. Nico is dead! Andromeda is getting flashbacks. Thalia is trying to help but she can't. Only Andromeda knows her way around.

Andromeda's Pov

Andromeda's Pov

We fell. You know mortals came up with a theory that it would take 42 minutes to fall into the centre of the Earth. They were wrong. It feels like it's been 1 hour already but it might be my ADHD kicking in. If Nico was here he would be asking if we could adopt Small Bob. He always had a fascination about Small Bob once I told him. But he's gone. Buried under rocks. Ironic right, the elements we control we fear, and what we fear will kill us.

Thalia is holding onto me for dear life. I can't blame her. I can feel myself holding onto her just as tight.

Time Skip

We were free falling. The light was finally coming through. And we were falling. Great! Over to the left is the river Cocytus and to the right is the river Styx. Eeny, meeny, miney, moe, Catch a tiger by the toe, If he hollers, let him go, Eeny, meeny, miney, moe. River Cocytus it is!

I quickly summon the water in the river Cocytus to carry us to the ground. As it touches us I start to hear wailing and feel the desire to give up on life. No, if I give up, we all die. I'm the one with the plan. A very reckless one, but it's a plan. I start thinking of Thalia and the team. What would happen to them if I gave up. I can't. I won't. I will power though!

As I set everyone down on the shores near the river Styx I see everyone was crying. Even the Man-Bat. Gods, its not even fun for me to make fun of him anymore!

I quickly look around and do a headcount. Wally, Thalia, Robin, Artemis, Kaldur, M'gann, Connor, Wondy (Wonder Woman), Man-Bat (Batman), Striker (Flash), Diper-man (Superman), Black Canary (She's too precious), Apollo Wannabe (Green Arrow), Cannibal King (Aquaman) and ET 2.0 (Martian-Manhunter).

ET 2.0, Cannibal King, M'gann and Kaldur are looking worse for wear but I guess it's just the climate taking its toll on them. Overall though, the group looks exhausted. I quickly tell them to take a 30 minute break and that will be back in a second.

Guess what dumb and kelp-head like thing I did next! I'm waiting... I'm Inpatient, I jumped into the river Styx again. And let me say. My dive was very elegant (Not).

"So you're in here again Godling?" said a feminine voice.

"Yep, and you are, mysterious voice?" I sasses back

"I'm Styx Godling. Why are you in a different dimension? Aren't you the saviour of Olympus and all that jazz?" She said

"I was betrayed. I guess my achilles curse never left because I got stabbed in the back."

She F***ing laughed at that. WHAT!!!

"That's too good," She wheezed. "They disregard everyone. In this earth it lead to a very extensive punishment."

"What happened?" My curiosity clearly got the best of me here. Lets go gossip about the Olympian Gods in a life or death situation. Why not?

"Kronos was fading, but he used the last of his power to kill/ send to Tartarus all of the Gods on the Olympians' side. One day he just took control of Ares. The only ones who survived were the ones who fled. He eventually drew weak and used the last of his energy to kill Zeus like in the Amazon tales. The Gods are now chained up near the Brass Fortress with the titans watching over them 24/7."
