Godling Of The Underworld

Journey To Mount Olympus

Crusher was crying waterfalls as he drove off, away from his uncle. Why would his uncle say something so cruel? Didn't he care about anyone?

He didn't care where he was going... as long as it was far away from Zeus.

He soon didn't realize he was going so far. A unicorn's neigh caught his attention, bringing his attention to where he was.

"Wha... wait, huh?"

He looked around to be faced with a familiar unicorn, huffing at him. It was a unicorn with pale, icy blue skin, ironic to flames of her misty blue hair as her fiery pink eyes glanced over at him.

"Oh... Paloma... it's you, girl," Crusher nuzzled her. "I-I'm sorry you had to see me like this, but... Uncle Zeus..."

Paloma let out a huff at the name before nuzzling him with a small comforting neigh.

"He said he would never come here to visit a child... and that my dad should stay in the Underworld where he belongs. I... I rarely ever get to see him... I rarely get to see any of my family members, despite having all of their powers. Is... is there something wrong with me?"

"There's nothing wrong with you, Crusher,"

Crusher jumped and turned to see Blaze and AJ heading towards him.

"Guys? What are you doing out here?" Crusher asked.

"We came to see if you were okay," Blaze answered.

"Yeah... I can't believe your uncle is that rude," AJ huffed. "Do... all your relatives treat you that way?"

"I… I don't know, I rarely get to see them," Crusher sighed. "As Son of Hades, Uncle Zeus didn't want me to be near any of the other Gods as much as he didn't want Dad to be near them,"

"Crusher... Zeus is awful, let me just say that," Blaze said.

"And if he thinks he knows what's best for you, then he's wrong," AJ agreed.

"I know you're right... but what do I do? I... I'm nowhere near as powerful as him..."

"I don't know, but maybe-"

"B! B!"

They turned to see Darington running to them in a hurry.

"Darry! Are you and the others okay?" Blaze asked.

"Yes, but there's a new problem!" Darington cried. "There are some fires that the firefighters can't put out!"

"Crusher, can you try and put it out?" AJ asked.

"If the firefighters can't put it out, I don't know if I'll be able to," Crusher admitted. "Darry, tell everyone to meet us at Stripes' treehouse. We'll come up with a plan there."

"Alrighty!" Darry nodded and drove off.

Crusher turned to the empty air and sighed. "Paloma, we need to give Blaze and AJ a ride to Stripes' treehouse. I know they're fast, but this is urgent."

As the boys looked frantically around, trying to decifer who Crusher was talking to, Paloma appeared in an icy whirl of blue fire.

"Woah!" Blaze gasped.

"Guys, this is Paloma," Crusher introduced. "She's my special unicorn guide-- all the gods and goddesses have one as their steeds."

"Hi, Paloma," AJ tried to reach his hand toward her, but Paloma snorted unsure.

"It's okay," Crusher reassured her. "They're good friends of mine. You can trust them."

Paloma narrowed eyes, but sighed, slowly moving forward. Slowly, but surely, she made her nuzzle was closer. And once she was close enough, AJ's fingertips touched her fur. It was icy cold... but also warm to the touch.
