Another Voyage Into My Heart [On Hold]

Chapter 6: Wondering Around Myths

The pages of this book are different from the pages of the other books. The hand writing's different from the other books. Every chapter's written differently, like if it was made by a group of people. The pages are torn and yellowish, and some of them are breaking and falling apart. I start to read, since the appearance is too temptress.

It doesn't have a title; it just skips to the chapters, which are just names. I skip several pages until I actually start to read the information carefully. "Cerberus", a three headed dog with a dragon tail which guards the entrance to the underworld. Next, "Charybdis", a huge mouth that swallows great amounts of water and debris three times a day. After that comes "Nemesis", a goddess who helps to avenge those who were wronged.

I oversee "Pegasus" and "Persephone". I read about "Thanatos", the  God of death. After that one I read about "The Fates", which decide the man's destiny and how long they will live. I keep going with "The Graces", three charites (Aglaia-splendor, Euphrosync-mirth, and Thalia-goddess of cheer), known for singing and dancing for the gods. They're mistaken with "The Fates", but they're obviously not the same.

Next is "The muses" (9), known for the music of their songs, which bring joy to any who hears it. The penultimate I read is the "Sirens", who are beautiful half-woman, half-birdlike creatures who sings such sweet songs that the listeners forget everything and die of hunger.

Then it leads me to a strange page. I know that hand writing; I think it's my dad's. But why would he write here. I thought he stole these books from an old man. Anyway, maybe it isn't his.

"Eris", a familiar name. The daughter of Zeus and Hera, two main gods. She's the goddess of discord, strife and chaos. She uses a golden apple as a symbol of discord. As all the other gods, if she makes a promise by crossing her heart she has to keep it. Don't ask to see her; like any other god, she will come, but she will make your life miserable. After a couple of other sentence, I see the signature of my dad on the side. I think he takes these too serious. But... Why did he write that part?

Did he write this because he knows about it, or because he wants to appear in this book? Why didn't he tell me about this book, about this information? Maybe they're just myths. Maybe he thinks it's just stupid and just a story. But... I can't believe that. I don't want to. I need to know if this is real.
