Thea Roman

9/26/1000 BCE

As I woke, I went to the edge of the altar and looked down at the spot that Thea sat all yesterday and immediately noticed that the spot was empty and she was gone. I walked over to Mercury's housing and asked if he could tell me where Thea was. He told me she was halfway to the Entrance of Hades and should be there by sundown. After taking some quick and general directions, I hurried to my room to dress in mortal Greek attire and hurried to my "battlestation" or a a position which I can follow Thea without her knowledge.

As Thea neared the entrance of Hell, Cerberus bust out of Hades and grabbed Thea and dragged her by her chiton to the bay and into the sea. Without the help of Neptune or Poseidon she was bound to drown. Just as I was about to intervene Charybdis rose from the ocean and created a legendary whirlpool. As Thea channeled the strength of the sea. She began to swim towards Charybdis he began to swim backward leading her the middle of the sea which holds greater dangers than a whirlpool.

Thea began to rise out of the water, coming with her was a wall of water tall enough to put the parthenon to shame with its height, which is impressive compared to others structures of this time. As she rose a wire net emerged from the sea, it was at this moment I realized that Thea was trapped in the wall of water and she was being captured some unseen monster.

As Thea began to struggle in the hold of the net, she reached into the water and pulled out a sword. As she pulled the sword out of the sheath, I saw that she began to glow and shake. As the sheath was taken off I noticed that she hadn't grabbed a sword out of the water but a trident. Thea was holding the water god's iconic scepter.

As she unsheathed the trident, her body began to glow an unnatural blue color. As she raised the trident, the water level began to rise more but this time Thea looked more in control of the problem.

As Thea rose higher she reached out and grabbed the Charybdis and tore its head clean off. The wall of water began to shake and collapse as the trident began to disappear.

A huge wave swept Thea up and carried her tired body back onto the shores of Greece. Standing on her wobbly legs, she turned and began to walk the entrance of Hell, but before she could enter she had to be invited a black figure rose. As the face of the creature came into view, I saw it was one of my fathers and uncles, Pluto. Without looking at her, he said, "You may enter, but do not disturb the peace in this land, people of Olympus."

As she walked down, I hesitantly followed her. As soon as you entered you noticed an immediate gloom cast over the land. As we stepped into Hades the three judges sat on a high platform reviewing all of the mortals who entered. As we followed Thea still seemed oblivious to my presence.

It seemed as though we had been traveling for hours, in utter silence, except the groaning of the dead. After what seemed like and eternity we stopped in front of what seemed like an anti-Olympus. While Olympus held mostly white and silver and gold, this building help bronze ,black ,and red. After standing awhile in silence, Pluto turned to address us ,but hesitated and just jestered for us to continue onward.
