* Big surprises await you, my friends!
Mount Olympus was an uncommon place that was different from all the other kingdoms. The first reason was that it was one of the kingdoms with the smallest population of humans, not beaten only by Sherwood Forest, with at most seventy to one hundred humans living there. The second reason that differentiated that place was the most important, the place was populated by gods, how to govern beings that don't even live on Earth? The only thing that maintained the relationship of that territory with the rest of Auradon was the surrounding forest. In fact, Adam and other classical kings managed to unite several kingdoms, but Olympus was still an almost unexplored territory. Zeus did not like magic and most importantly, he did not like humans.
"Visits Monday through Wednesday, Hercules does not live here and no, you will not see Zeus. Your name please."
Rashid was not a human, so it made no feeling for the hatred of the god of lightning to fall on him. As soon as he reached the top of the hill he was stopped at what appeared to be the entrance to Olympus.
"Rashid." Just saying the first name never helped identify anyone except the creature from Wonderland, because as moment he said his name to the person standing holding a clipboard he got startled and widened his eyes. "Is there a problem?"
"You!" The being stopped and looked at Rashid with anger, a lot of anger. "How dare you show up here?"
"Have we met?"
"Rashid Decantes! You don't remember me, do you?" He denied. "You are the man who sold me a fake cake." When Rashid looked at the man again he realized indeed he had a small stature. He could really give fake imitations of the growth cakes that only existed in Wonders.
"First, I'm not necessarily a man, that's a disguise, so to speak." Rashid was too complex a character to explain, so even he didn't try, "And second, those were dark times in my life, I swear I've changed." It was hard to promise that, or to ask anyone to believe that. "I need to see Apollo."
"The son of Zeus? I'm sorry, that's not going to happen."

Isle of the Lost
"Who is Audrey?
Carlos asked without understanding Benjamin's countenance when he heard that Sleeping Beauty's family was among them.
"His ex-girlfriend."
Mal answered remembering the name and where she had heard it from. The girl didn't know jealousy, but she felt a discomfort in her chest when she saw how Ben reacted to hearing Aurora's daughter's name and it only got worse when she saw him run away.
"Hey man, it stopped." Jay got in front of the prince before he left, "Where do you think you're going?"
"To see her, if Maleficent released her just now..." Ben didn't just see "his ex-girlfriend" he also saw one of his best friends, besides her family and the current queen of Auradon were not very friendly. Within Maleficent's entire plan revenge against Sleeping Beauty was to be expected. "She might be hurt."
"We'll take you there."
Mal said looking at the ground
""What's it like?"
Carlos didn't understand what they would put themselves at risk for by going to that part of the Isle.
"We know shortcuts." Mal replied. As strange as that uncomfortable feeling inside herself was, she wanted her boyfriend to feel fine, despite their recent fight. "Why are you looking at me like that? Come on, guys. We've lived here longer than these strange Auradonians."
