I fire arrow after arrow until the thing collapses at my feet, then I stab it with my daggers in it's heart while everything besides a tooth dissolves into golden dust, I practically run back up with barely a scratch but as I'm about to come out my leg catches a stalagmite and makes a cut on my leg in the form of 3 scratch marks. I reach the sandy world above and run back to the chariot with just a bit of blood streaming down my leg "I hate dragons from now on" I tell Apollo and he laughs.

I lay back into the chair "where to now?" Apollo asks and I smile too "LA for the underworld and along the way we can collect the light and air" I tell him and he nods, putting the car into auto-pilot and then collecting a small bit of light in his hand and then it turns into a pendant, he then grasps the air. Then a container full of air is given to me and I put both into the bag that I slung over my shoulder, I then smile at Apollo in thanks.

We drive or fly to La in a day and land a block away from DOA studios and my heart starts beating dramatically as I head down to the studio, I see the lights on and head inside, the spirits of the dead shift around the lobby and there is a podium with a guy in a italian suit. I head towards the guy in the podium and say " hello I would like to go to heaven please" I tell him and he frowns "I know that I am dead, I was killed by a murderer" I say and hand him some cash about 200$ worth "follow me" hhe says.

He leads me to the elevator that opens up and I head through and to the boat on the river, a ferry with a pole to row with and get inside with an old couple, a young girl and a middle agen woman "the river Styx" Charon mutters "Styx? Isn't that Greek? But this is Christian" I say playig dumb. He seems to follow it and stays silent until we reach the shore of the river as the dead people's clothes shift to grey robes as well as mine.

I feel terror creep up in my throat, all these people are dead, I'm not, I'm the only person alive that's here, fear creeps up in my throat further and I clear my throat, trying to push it down but it doesn't work at all and I gulp down the fear as much as possible. I hear a howl from down the road to the gates: Cerberus.

I scurry down the road but then notice the girl in the boat struggling to get out and see that her leg was sliced off until the ankle, so I turn and pick her up, she must have been no older than 8 so I put her on my hip and carry her down the road. I see a boy about my age in black robes and I see his face: Nico "hey Nico" I say and he turns to me, startled.

He pales "you can't-your not-Please don't be-your dead?" he demands but I shake my head no "I tricked Charon" I tell him and he nods, looking impressed "I'll escort you through the gates" Nico says with a bit of a smile and leads me away from the river and to the gates "can you get this girl to Elesium?" I ask him and he looks at me warily "as a personal favor" I say and she vanishes in a flash of black "you owe me" he tells me and I roll my eyes.

I then realze that I don't need to go through the gates "I just need some dust, this will work" I say scooping up some sand "tell Percy that I love him and that I miss him, I'll have to swim through the river Styx to get out..." I mutter, looking at the black river with the dreams and hopes floating around in it "oh no you don't, I'll shadow travel you to where you need to be" Nico tells me, grabbing my wrist "just outside the studio please" I tell him and then black, spaad so fast it feels like my face is peeling off and noises all around until I see Apollo's chariot and Nico releases my hand.

Nico vanishes and I rush to Apollo, still cupping my hands and holding the dust "here's a container" Apollo says and hands me a bottle which I pour the dirt into and throw into my bag ok 5 down, 7 to go "the garden of the gods please" I say and he speeds away, we make it there is a few minutes. I jump out and quickly grab some wheat and grapes before I hear a roar, a dracaenae stands in front of me brandishing a spear and weighted net.

I don't have time for this so I shoot an arrow into her chest and run back to Apollo "volcano, any volcano please" I tell him and he takes off as well, soon we get to one of Hephaestus' forges and I jump out, hurrying to the gate and a wave of heat smacks me in the face, wow ok uhm.....I look down and see the lava about 20 feet below, how am I going to get there?

I see a small stream flowing down the small ledge and grab a container from my bag, then I bottle the super-heated liquid and as i back-track I hear a screech from above, another dragon lashes down at me and I duck but the thing catches my shoulder with a single claw and let me tell you....it burns like hell. I can't fight this thing, not here so I do the hardest thing ever, I run out of the volcano and toward the chariot, I fall down in the chariot and black out with the pain in my shoulder tearing through my mind and body.
