Currently, my step-brother is at my house. You might think, "Oh, does that mean you won't be updating?" Wrong! I will be updating more! I hate this guy! I don't want to be in the same room as him! Ugh! Oh yeah, I would like to give Corey and King a thanks for the idea and places that are for this part.

The worst part about sleeping? Dreaming. I was just minding my own business, then boom. Demigod Dream.

"That dumb cult!" a woman with long white hair said in Greek. "Why couldn't they just give me the damn sword!" she continued. She turned around to where I could see her fully. I instantly recognized her as Zues. The white hair and completely electric blue eyes gave it away. "Somethings off!" Zues yelled. She turned and looked straight at me. "I see, you have it, well you better give it back!" she said. The dream faded.

Selina was still on the wheel. She looked over at me. "Woke up?" Selina asked. "Yeah," I answered, rubbing my eyes. I looked at the watch I had recieved early. I had been asleep for nearly four hours. Which ment, Selina had been awake for nine. Poor girl. I could visibly see her trying to starve off sleep. I turn on the radio for some tunes. Something I liked came on, thankfully. "This reminds me, we should stop soon, for gas," she said. I looked over at her. "Do we have any money?" I asked. "We have a couple of bucks from that cult," Selina said. I guess she looted some dead guy's corpse? "Look, a gas station, let's stop up ahead," she told me.

The gas station was nothing to make note of. I bought a few snacks and drinks, and a knife. The catchier, was nice, and didn't question why I was trying to buy it.

We continued on our merry little way. It soon started raining. Then, thunder. Then, lightning.

ZAP!

On the lane next to us, lightning zapped the pavement. "What the hell!" I yelled. Before I knew it, the hood of the car had been blown up, and I went flying through the car windshield. Maybe I should have worn my seatbelt?

I landed on the soft grass on the side of the road. Selina was just as lucky. Another bolt of lightning zapped in front of me. I finally understood what was going on, Zues was being a dick. From that bolt of lightning, Zues appeared in a Greek Toga with the Master Bolt in her hand. "I've came to retrieve what is rightfully mine," she said. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Your watch, hand it over," Zues commanded. The weird sword? "Here, take it!" I said. I took off my watch and threw it to her. She caught it and it transformed into the big gold and blue sword. "I'll reward you for being so cooperative," she said. She then threw her bolt at her feet. I looked at Selina. She seemed just as about as confused as me.

At least Zues fixed the car. We still decided to camp out on the side of the road. We've made good time, though. I think we have 200 miles until Iwoa? Not sure where our destination is, but we're halfway across the country.
"Hey, Yn, aren't these Adonis Flowers?" Selina asked. Now that she mentions it, are they? "I don't know? I'm pretty sure they don't grow here, though?" I replied. Now that I noticed, as far as I can see, Adonis Flowers littered this place. Maybe Adonis is here? No, he's just a flower. I grabbed a flower and picked it. The flower started to bleed from the stem. I threw the flower to the ground. "What the hell?" I screamed. The flower didn't stop bleeding at all.

"Are the flowers moving?" Selina asked. She was right. The flowers were moving. "I think it's turning into something?" I questioned. "It is!" Selina agreed. The flowers made two legs and a waist. From a woman, I'm guessing.
A few tense minutes past before the person became whole. And I was right, it was a woman. A woman who was bleeding from her nose. She was very beautiful, even more so than Aphrodite. She seemed mad, but her faced softened as soon as soon as she saw me. She ran straight at me. Before I knew it, she caught my hands and started to ask me questions. "I've been waiting for years! When did you escape? I knew you would never do that to a woman! Especially her!" she said. She was really close to my face at this point. "I think you have me confused with someone else," I explained. "I know it's you!" she said. "I swear, I'm someone else!" I told her. "What's your favorite thing to do?!" she asked. "Listen to music!" she and I said at the same time. "Well, lots of people listen to music," I said. "Who's your favorite Goddess?" she asked. "That's a hard one but Apollo is pretty far up there," I said. She seemed to grow with excitement with every word I said. She started to talk and talk about all the things we would do now that we were reunited. "I swear! I'm not the guy you think I am! I swear upon the River Styx!" I yelled. A distant thunder sounded in the background. Nothing happened afterwards. She seemed to lose all hope in one second. "Well, you can at least stay here, for a while," she said, laying on the ground.

Selina found the whole thing really funny. I'm just glad she isn't mad.
We set up our sleeping bags under the stars. "Hey, Yn?" she asked. "Yeah?" I responded. "Why do you think you were someone else?" Selina asked. "Maybe I just look like him?" I answered. "But you answered all those questions just like she thought you would?" Selina questioned. "Maybe it was me from another life?" I asked. "Maybe," she responded.
