Lillianna and the Sand (1)

8: Lillianna

I was staring to fade away but I remembered my plan. All of the storm spirits kept cutting at me with their horse teeth. I screamed out in pain. I tried to speak but realized my throat was cut. I would die soon. No I have a plan I need to follow it. I just concentrated on the water. The storm spirits had no control of the water inside the hurricanes. I managed to turn the water into daggers (I wanted swords but it's better than nothing). I was slipping away so I needed to finish this fast. I put the rest of my remaining energy into making the storm spirits more solid as the water stabbed them until they vaporized.
As I was about to slip away the last storm spirit vaporized and I started to fall towards the boat. I thought I was going to die until an eagle caught me in it's talons and I realized it was Jake. He put down on the boat gently and changed back into a human. I tried to say something but I still couldn't. "Lily!" I heard Jake yell as I fell asleep for what I thought was the last time.
I was in the room in the Underworld that judges wether people get punished or have eternal bliss. "You're not dead!" Someone yelled at me. "Go back to the world of living!" A different voice yelled. "Do you want to stay down here?" A different voice asked. I realized it was Hades. "Lord Hades!" I said as I bowed. "You see this girl has respect unlike some people!" Hades yelled. "Whatever!" The person Hades yelled at replied. "Am I interrupting something my Lord?" I asked. "No and call me uncle." Hades said. "Now normally I wouldn't let one of my brothers children call me that but since you're a descendant of mine you can." Hades continued. "Of course Uncle!" I replied.
"You know that sounds nicer!" Hades said. "Anyway, do you want to stay down here? You're on the verge of dying but for some reason you're not. I think it's some power you got from me. Just know if you choose to go back you'll be in a coma until you get strong enough to wake up. While you're sleeping though you'll be put in a series of tests that are very painful, both emotionally and physically. If you pass the tests you'll wake up if you don't you'll return here." Hades said. "Also, if you survive I'll get a room for you in palace if you want to visit." Hades added. "I need to go back up to help my friends, but I would love to visit Uncle!" I exclaimed. I would actually like to visit though. People always say Hades is mean but it's just he's been so mistreated. That would make anyone bitter. I think I know why he's in a good mood though, it's winter so Persephone is here. I'd like to meet her. "Great to hear! Good luck!" He yelled as everything dissolved around me.

She's dead! Lily's dead I don't know what to do. She sacrificed herself for us. It's not just bad for me but for the world. The world is under a threat that can be defeated by her. Maybe all of us as water plus Max as lightning would work? But how are we supposed use water? Poseidon maybe? How am I supposed to face him if his daughter died!
"Jake come quick!" Zizi yelled. I didn't feel like getting up but I forced myself to run over. "I think her hearts beating!" Zizi exclaimed. Wait what? Lily's alive! I can't believe it she's alive. Happiness washed over me and lifted me out of depression. I'm pretty I was glowing. "Don't get your hopes up she's not breathing." She said. "Then how is her heart beating?" I asked getting crushed again. "I think it has something to do with the fact that she's a descendant of Hades." She answered. "Quick give her some ambrosia and nectar!" I yelled. "Oh and pour some water on her once she's had as much godly food as she can eat!" I yelled again. "Alright! Calm down Jake!" Zizi replied. Please don't die Lily I prayed to the gods.
