Alyssa's Pov

I'm climbing the mountain and it it's not and easy climb. I look up and see Joseph climb this like he has done if before.

"Slow down!" I shout out.

" I'm moving at normal speed. You're just a turtle!" He tells back.

I look up a and see him smiling at me, he winks, turns, and continues climbing the mountain. I get about half way up the mountain and its getting dark. So I pull myself over the next ledge and see he already has a camp set up.

"You are to fast." I simply say to him.

"We already went over this. You're just to slow."

He smiles and goes to bed.

I wonder if he changed. He seems different, maybe his journey changed him. I thought to myself. What if he doesn't like me anymore?

I get up and go to bed to.

It's midday when I get up. There's some food waiting for me, but Joseph isn't anywhere to be seen.

His stuff is still here, though. He probably went to the bathroom.

I go and wolf down my food. Out of nowhere something starts licking my face. I turn and scream.

"What's wrong!?" Joseph yells as he runs around the corner. "Oh it's just Epsilon I found her abandoned."

"Well she scared the crap out of me!" I shout at him. I'm so frustrated that I leave. I go change and pack up my stuff. I walk back to the campfire and Joseph is waiting for me.

"I'll go slow this time." he says quietly. He turns to me and smiles. "Sorry I should have told you about her. Ready?"

"It's ok and yeah."

I take off without him and yell, "Last one up is a rotten egg."

Next thing I know he is in front of me by about twenty feet. We send the rest of day running racing up Mount Olympus.

I see him freeze in his tracks and a look of shock enters his face.

"It's destroyed." he whispers.

I follow his gaze and see that Olympus is in ruins. I see him pass me and he walks to the main hall of the gods. He opens the door takes two steps forward and collapses. He doesn't move. He doesn't even seem like he's breathing anymore.

"JOSEPH!" I scream out to him. I run to him and sit next him. "Wake up you can't die on me we just made to Olympus. Joseph I can't lose you."

I burst into tears and begin to move away some of the debris, trying to find an area for him to rest. I turn to look at him, but he's gone.

"Joseph?" I say out loud.

No response.

"Hello?!" I say louder.

No response.

I go to my tent and see his hell hound laying down sleeping.

"Wonder if you miss him just as bad." I say quietly.

I look at her, she seems depressed.

"It's fine ok, we still have each other."
