I always thought I was a regular, normal, mortal girl. Living in the modern world were Greek myths were...well...myths! I used to live in a minuscule apartment with just my dad. I usually fail all my classes and have a best friend. His name is Hector... We tend to create a lot of havoc together. We both have ADHD and dyslexia. Yet, my extremely dull life changed the day of the school archery competition...

I cautiously grabbed my last arrow and placed the head of it onto the frail string of my bow. I looked beside me, Adreanna was also doing the same. When she realised I was looking at her she sneered. Before I could snap back, the voice of my school principal, Mrs Kraemer echoed throughout the archery field. "The final round of the school archery competition is about to commence!" She shouted in her serious voice. And the crowd erupted in cheers. "Adreanna and Keira, head to head! Who will win this years competition?" And thats when the crowd went berserk! Shouting our names out loud.

I gulped, staring at the crowd of students. I tried to keep calm except it's quite hard to when there is a crowd of over a thousand people staring at you. I caught sight of Hector as he gave me the thumbs up. Which made me feel a little better..

I refocused my thoughts and vision onto the target which was a couple of meters in front of me. This competition meant everything to me! I locked my bow in position. Could I really win this? I gently pulled the string back with ease until it reached my ear. My spine tingled with adrenaline...

Just as I was about to release the string, a massive bird flew into the archery range... wait! It was much to large to be a bird. To my utter and complete surprise the "bird" shouted my name!

'Keira!' It screeched.

'Give me the bow'.

I stared at the bird in disbelief as it zoomed towards me. This couldn't be happening... could it?

I was frozen in the spot and my legs turned to jelly.

To my relief and bewilderment Hector raced towards me... with no crutches!

To my relief and bewilderment Hector raced towards me...with no crutches!

His curly, cocoa coloured hair bounced up and down as he raced down from the stands at amazing speed. Considering 5 minutes ago he could barely walk and was aided by crutches. However, that wasn't the strangest thing I saw that day, the strangest thing was that he had furry, goat legs!

"Run!" He shrieked. Right before the bird could grab me with it's razor sharp claws. The bird snarled when it realised it did not catch me.

"What in the world is that thing!" I panted. "Why do you have goat legs! What is happening?" I shouted back, desperate for answers.

"I'll explain everything when we are safe! For now follow me.. and hurry!"

I decided to take his advice and ran for my life...
