Dam Demigods meet Puny Mortals

John Greene

It was a sad day as the cemetery was filled with people wearing black and mournful expressions, the atmosphere eerily quiet even though it's full of people crying looking at the graves and laying down flowers. 

I was one of them. 

I stayed sitting on the bench alone holding a bouquet of rare black and white tulips for a while until night comes and people slowly faded away, the light only coming from the bright moon that seems to shine exceptionally bright today. 

I slowly stood up and walked to the very back where three coffins stood. The two that I didn't recognize was together and was shining weirdly in the night light. 

I  took a step away from the two coffins and walked to the third lonely one. 

I kneeled in front of it and placed the bouquet on the grave. 

"My brother, my best friend, my lover." I started, looking at it. 

Yes, I am gay. 

I felt tears dripping down my face to my black suit. 

"Why did you have to leave me alone in this cruel world?" I whispered, caressing my hand on its smooth marble cover. 

I was just kneeling there when a bunch of teenagers walked beside me to the two coffins. 

They were all holding a single purple nightshade and a single pure white rose except for six teens. 

The first one is a boy with black hair and gloomy dark eyes. He held a single purple nightshade, but a bouquet of pure white roses and pure white lilies. 

He has tear streaks down his face and a boy with blonde hair and tan skin was comforting him, placing kisses on his cheeks every now and then. 

Next was a girl with jet black hair with silver highlights and a silver circlet. She has a bouquet of pure white roses and pure white lilies on one hand, and a bouquet of black and brown nightshades in the other. 

Behind her were a dark-skinned girl holding a single purple nightshade and a bouquet of pure white roses and lilies and an Asian boy beside her. 

Next is a dark-haired boy with green eyes and a blonde boy with blue eyes and a scar on his lip. They both have a single purple nightshade in one hand, and a bouquet of pure white lilies and pure white roses on the other hand. 

Last is a girl who doesn't look more than 12. She has black hair and silver eyes with a silver moon circlet. She has a black and purple nightshade bouquet in a moon shape, and a pure white rose and lily bouquet also in a moon shape.

They did everything in a hushed whisper, so I didn't hear anything, but they all put the nightshades on the left coffin, and the white lilies and roses on the right one. 

After a while, they all left except for the last girl holding the moon shaped bouquets. She didn't acknowledge my presence as she stood up from her kneeled position. 

"My brave hunters, my sisters," she started loudly, and her body started to glow. 

"We honor this day, the day you died. Honoring both of you, my leniuant and my brave sister, rest in peace in the Elysium once again."

She then started chanting in what I noticed as Ancient Greek, and her body started to glow and I averted my eyes because it's too bright. 

A second later, she disappeared and I opened my eyes. 

The flowers disappeared from the graves, and ashes were on the spot it was just a second before. 

How is that possible? I thought to myself. 

Ignoring the fact, I walked home quietly, never seeing those teens again.

Okay, I know it's really crappy. 

I'm sorry. I was really busy, in my defense.

Little Asian girl, is out.
