Reunited and it Feels So Good
Theo POV

It took about 2 hours to bury the body.
By the time we had dug a hole in the ground and done the traditional Greek burial customs (placing drachmas inside the mouth and over the eyes.)
I didn't know whether or not Tessa's mum believed in the Greek mythology/ afterlife sort of thing but given that she had a fling with a Greek God I just decided that it would be appropriate.
I had done most of the burial. It would be wrong for me to ask Tessa to bury her own mother. Besides, she was too busy wrapped up in her own grief to do anything, and that was fine by me.
I patted down the last mound of dirt before getting up and dusting off my hands before rubbing them on my shorts. I stepped back and examined my work. Obviously, the hole couldn't be that deep because I dug with my hands but it was still enough that the body was under the earth.
"May your soul find itself in Elysium Alexa Chartreuse."
I stepped out of the grove and let Tessa have her moments alone with her mother while I formulated a plan of how the Hades I was going to get us out of this conundrum. All this drama was causing me to get a headache and I didn't like it.
I sat down on the forest floor cross-legged, I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples trying to suppress any pain as I quietly exhaled through my nose. Now I don't know how to explain this next part because quite frankly I don't believe it myself.
I imagined myself exploring the forest searching for a way out, I imagined that I was weaving in and out of the trees searching for a gap in the green, a road, a path anything. Then suddenly I felt like a ripple in my mind and all of a sudden I could see what I was imagining.
I could suddenly feel myself gliding through the trees, feel the breeze of the wind down my body and the rush of adrenaline as I suddenly dived. I saw myself sitting cross-legged on the forest floor before I soared north past a crying Tessa and over the downed tree.
