Mount Olympus looked closer then it really was. It must've been because of it's size. It is huge, but far. Strangely there seemed to be less people, even though the mountain was tourist destination. I shrugged it off and decided to set up camp.

Shouting. Crying. A door slams.
"Fine then, leave I don't need I'll take of Joey by myself." I hear my mother shout.
Another door slams. More crying.
I'm sitting in my room crying quietly to myself.
My daddy's gone. Why?
I look down, my hands seem blurry because I was crying to much. I grit my teeth in anger, blaming myself for what just occurred. I yell in frustration and before my eyes appears a black figure but it vanishes before I can even move.

I wake up gasping for air, sweating. Epsilon gets up, turns, and barks me angrily cause I woke her up.
"Oh just shut up." I tell her.
I stay awake the rest of the night wondering what I just dreamt. Wondering who or what the shadowy figure was.
After a day of walking I reached Olympus and I saw someone setting up camp at the base of it.
Wonder who it could be. I thought to myself.
I continue towards the person. The closer I get more more she seems familiar. When I finally recognize her I fill with joy. A reminder of my past. The person that convinced me to go on this journey. Alyssa stood before me in tears, but we didn't speak much. We ate our meal and went to sleep. In the morning she broke the silence and explained her journey. She went through perilous tests that I had to go through. I explained what happened to me. She was scared of Epsilon which was funny to me. After we spent a couple hours catching up we raced up the side of the mountain.
