While falling, I tried to formulate my entrance into the mortal world. Maybe, I could make some balloons and confetti fall behind me while I gracefully land on my toes, like a ballerina. And I could also use some music. Or I could... "gaaahh"
THUMP!!
"Ugghhh!"
For a second I could see the land spinning violently. I blinked.
"Stupid land!" I said kicking it. "You came towards me a lot quicker than expected!" I glared at the land.
It did not reply, so I guessed it wanted to apologize. "Yeah. You better be sorry."
I brushed mud off my dress. Golden ichor was rushing out of my left knee. I sighed.
I looked around. It looked like a parking lot to some mall. I sprinted towards the exit, and onto the street.
For some reason I felt bad. I was such a rebel! I wondered why Zeus was so horrified when I said that he hated me. But at least I wasn't regretting it anymore. I did what I thought was right. Besides what other reason could there be? Definitely he hated me. That pretty much explained the past hundred and two years.
After walking for a few minutes, I started noticing people staring at me like I was some wanted criminal or a celebrity. I went with celebrity. Some school girls were pointing at me, giggling. Ugh that was annoying. I ignored them. A teenager jogged past me saying, "Hey girl, what is it with the toga!" I stopped in my tracks. Yeah I'm wearing a Greek toga. So what? I frowned.
It took me a couple of minutes to realize that nobody on the streets was wearing ancient clothes. I quickly flicked my finger. I now wore the same dress the school girls had on. A man riding a bi-cycle lost balance and fell. He blinked at me with his mouth wide open.
"You...how...how did you..." He fumbled
I leaned in. "You did not see anything mortal."
I let the Mist do the rest of the job.
I straightened. "I think... a taxi to Long Island would be a good idea."
