When she looked up she saw a woman with golden hair, an older man with dark hair, A man with water for hair, and lastly, a man whose hair was pure hellfire, She backed up clutching her stomach as the man with fire hair spoke.

"Please, why did we choose this pathetic little girl for this very important task?  The fate of the entire realm is at stake!" She stood up and spoke.

"You do not know me! You do not know what I have been through! So please do not call me pathetic or little!" She started glowing green as she let her emotions go.

"Calm down sweetheart. Hades is just being rude, I promise we don't think of you like that Miss Evergreen." The woman with golden hair spoke up smiling and offering her a seat at a table.

"Wher am I? How did I get here? And Hades? As in the Greek god Hades? which means your Hera and your Poseidon. Oh and your Zeus?" Hera and the rest smiled nodding.

"She's smart this one is!" He clapped as a tea set appeared on the table.

"Tea?" He asked as Riah nodded and took a sip of tea, "See here's the thing, sweetie, we need your help. We as gods and goddesses cannot leave Olympus for at least three months every season, but lately, we haven't been able to go down there and help. That is until you arrived, we've been searching for you for four months, we've had others try and take down the blood suckers but they all failed. But you, my dear, are the one!" Zeus clapped again and chuckled taking a sip.

"How? I'm not that strong yet am I?"  Hera giggled putting her hand to her mouth speaking.

"Not yet, dear, we've invited you here to receive the gift of immortality and a gift for your little one as well. Both gifts will help you when needed." Hera placed her hand on Riah's forehead and spoke in tounges.

"Κάντε την ευχή της, δώστε στο παιδί της το δώρο του φωτός και του νερού και δώστε στη μητέρα του παιδιού το δώρο της αθανασίας(Grant her wish, give her child the gift of light and water and give the mother of child the gift of immortality)" The green light that was admitting from Riah grew bright as her hair turned lime green and her eyes became forest green.

"Whoa, I feel so different! Thank you so much!!" She ran and hugged Hera, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. She soon returned to the patio where her parents were waiting.

"Riah dear, I know what your-" His wife stopped him and pointed to her eyes and hair.

"Dear, what happened to you?" Her mother asked as they walked over touching Riah's hair.

"It's a long story, also yes, I'm going alone. Dad? Protect everyone here, I'll be back I promise, I love you both." stated Riah as she embraced her parents.

"Okay my child, here's what needs to be done," Silas ran out before Riah could jump down listening to their plan, "since we are out of that place we need a member of the Evergreen royal family to sit in the king's chair. It has the blood of the royal family in it so if one were to sit there it will glow and take down any enemy, with a little help from your powers." Silas gasped and held onto Riah.

"Wait!!! Let me come with you!" He pulled her in for a tight hug, as she hugged him back she whispered.

"After seeing your face again I finally realize how much I love you Silas" She chuckled as tears fell from her eyes, "Please take care of Fox and watch put for my parents if I don't end up coming back. I love you." She pulled him into a kiss, as they kissed she could feel herself starting to break down, she didn't want to go alone for the fear of never coming back, but if she could save her kingdom she would gladly do it twice more. after the kiss, she embraced him once more before heading toward the castle. As she was sneaking into the palace her grandfather stopped her with an aien crystal on the back of her head making her pass out, he carried her back to the sky region where she had been sleeping for a few hours. 

"Ah, god, my head! I gotta get out of here and find the palace before it's too late." She smiled and hoped up when she heard a voice from behind.

"You know what? It would be better if you had some help, ya know sneaking around." Her grandfather was sitting in a chair with his snake, he waited for her to wake so he could help her at least a little.

"Don't hurt me!" Max appeared in front of Riah growling.

"Hey now, I'm not going to hurt you! I wanna help you!" Riah and Max looked at each other as he nodded and disappeared.

"Right and I'm supposed to believe you?" Just as she was about to finish her mother, father, Silas, Fox, Cassius, and Jina walked in.

"Yes, Riah honey, you are. We all got yelled at when he found out we let you go alone, we know now that that was a mistake. And we are deeply sorry." They all hugged as RIah let out a cry, "We also brought help, go look out the window." She walked over and saw every clan known to the land, Riah laughed and wiped her tears away as Jina walked over.

"We're ready to serve our Queen and our lands." Riah chuckled as she looked out upon the crowd of mythical beings and friends.

"I have been given a gift from the gods! We shall take back our kingdom! Let's go!!" She placed her hand out as a beam of green light shot out, everyone gasped since no one was ever known to possess the power of light, especially the light of green.
