The Resurrection Of Hyacinthus

Flowers

I wake in a large field of flowers, my head aches yet I still manage to sit up, though it leaves me with blurry vision and lightheadedness for a bit. I try to remember why I was asleep here in the first place... but I'm struggling to remember anything... I remember my name of course, I'm Hyacinthus, and I of course remember the names of the gods... including my lover Apollo. Though, it seems unlikely that I'd just fall asleep in a field like this... in fact, now that I'm getting a closer look... I don't think I've ever seen this type of flower before... I'm certain I'd remember something this lovely!

I stand, I stumble a bit but I'm able to walk. I fix my chiton and head out toward some faint rumbling noise. I approach what appears to be some sort of village... but... what in the world are those?! They're so fast... they seem to be like chariots... but with nothing to pull them... what is going on?! When I notice that there's a group of people who seem about 15 or so that are staring at me... what are they wearing?! It seems so... different... oh... guess that's why they're staring at me... wait! What are those rectangles of metal they're holding? What is going on?! Quickly, I run back to my field, with my head filled with questions.

             After a while of just sitting there questioning everything, a young girl comes up to me, "Are you ok?" She asks me.

             "I-I think so..." I respond hesitantly.

              "You don't look ok" she tells me, then she too takes out a metal rectangular object, taps on it a few times and hands it to me. I see my reflection, my long gold brown braid, my icy blue eyes, my massive bloody scar... wait... massive bloody scar?! That'd explain me sleeping in the field... it looks bad... perhaps I should ask my lover to help me out with it, I hand it back to her.

                  "Thank you..." I say, "I'll be ok"

                   "Ok..." she replies reluctantly before running off. I look around till I see it, there in all its glory, the Parthenon, surely I can get help there, perhaps Athena can explain, so I run for it.
