Chapter 1

Kallisto was sitting calmly on a stone, thinking deeply about Swan. Her gorgeous snow white mare was her friend for life. The rush of the past year was still lingering on her mind. The battle, the enormous Chinese army and, of course, when Swan had almost been taken from her. The day was hot and you could see the heat haze in the fields. A few dark shapes dotted the never ending grass. Kallisto smiled to herself. She wouldn't have her life any other way. All she wanted to do was be with horses. They were here mother's life and they had become hers as well.

As she was walking Swan after her daily training, she noticed a large bird circling overhead. It was a really large bird with enormous wings. Wait, it's not a bird it looks like a horse! Kallisto gasped as this mystical winged horse descended from the perfect blue sky and landed on the rocky path. The handsome white horse snorted a greeting. "Hi!" Only then did Kallisto notice the small figure atop the horse's back. "Uhh, hello." Replied Kallisto cautiously. The rider dismounted and turned to face her. The figure was a young girl with long light brown hair. She was dressed in tight jeans, sneakers, a loose black shirt and a grey jacket. "I am Emily," said the girl, pretty casually for someone who just hopped off a Pegasus. "I am Kallisto," she replied. Emily smiled and said, "Pleased to meet you Calypso." She patted her Pegasus. "It's Kallisto K-a-l-l-i-s-t-o." corrected Kallisto, annoyed at Emily now. "Why are you here may I ask? And while I'm at it, what the hell are you doing with a Pegasus?!" said Kallisto firmly. "Yiesh! Take a chill pill. I was sent here by Zeus, the Greek God of the sky. He needs your help." "A geek god needs my help? Sounds like a joke to me." Kallisto was not taking this seriously. "It's Greek and he, to be more specific, needs the help of Ahura Mazda," Emily had her arms crossed over her chest. "Well I can't exactly summon the Great Lord of Light by clicking my fingers and saying, 'Hey Ahura! Just wanna talk for a sec.'" said Kallisto smugly. Emily sat down with a sigh and closed her eyes. Kallisto could not believe her luck. A strange girl lands with a darn Pegasus, then tells her she must summon a God? A seriously wacko kid. Kallisto decided she would take no more of this nonsense and stormed off.

Meanwhile, in a very crowded geeky club, Aiden was partying like a Centaur (don't ask, just read The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan). Aiden was 16 years old but could pass for 19 any day. The crowd of people tonight were a great sport. They sang along, danced, drank and had a little too much fun. Aiden was having a blast. He was head banging to his favourite song. "-Discord! Are we a prey alone? Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne? Discord we won't take it anymore! So take you tyranny away!" –sang Aiden. Just then a fight broke out between two totally not sober guys. Both were unable to stand up straight. Aiden decided it was time to hit the road, before the cops came. He said his goodbyes to the nearest dancers and grabbed his brown hoodie. He pushed open the club door and walked out into the fresh night air. His shoulder length blond hair blew into his face and he raised a hand to remove a strand from his mouth. It was spring break in Washington D.C and most of Aiden's friends where planning parties and dates and all that. His cell phone buzzed in his back pocket. He reached back and read the caller's name. Mom, great.

His mom had asked him to be home by 1 o'clock. It was 10 now so he decided to rather go home than stay out. He hailed a cab and paid the driver. "22nd Street please, West End." The driver nodded in response and pulled away. It was about a 10 minute drive and Aiden was used to it by now. Soon enough he was walking up the gravel driveway to his front door. He took out his keys and turned one in the lock. He stepped inside and called out, "Mom, I'm home!" He had seen the lights on and figured that his mother was most likely watching Revenge or some other series. "Hey honey! There's some pizza in the kitchen if you're still hungry." He put his keys on the table near the door and walked into the kitchen. He took a piece of Margarita Pizza that still had warm stringy cheese. He took a bite and walked back towards the lounge. He sat down next to his mother on the leather couch. She smiled and kissed his forehead gently. "White Collar season 5. Neil was nearly shot by someone. Somebody has also killed that Dutchman guy," said his mom enthusiastically. She loved this series more than most. Aiden sat there for a while before going to bed. Unfortunately, his dreams had other ideas.

In his dream he was running through a field of thick grass towards a wounded person. They had light brown hair and ripped jeans with blood smudges on them. He called out that there was something above her, at least he thought it was a girl. She glanced up just as another girl jumped over her and stood facing the danger. It seemed to be some sort of enormous creature with red eyes and a golden scythe in one hand. The girl pulled her arms back. As she pushed them forward, she screamed with so much rage and hatred Aiden could feel it radiating off her like heat. As she screamed, a blast of such force pushed the huge figure back and away from the wounded girl. The girl stood up and joined the other girl. Aiden then noticed the one that screamed had a dagger in hand and the other had a silver bow. They both armed themselves and charged at the monstrous creature.

Then he woke up.
