"Dammit Stemmings, move!" I shouted as my satyr friend froze in fear once again. I was just able to shove him out of the way as the hydra shot fire at him. Ya that's right, I said satyr and hydra. No, FYI I'm not crazy. I don't think so at least. I've been running for a week now, and this is the second monster we've seen. I ran, dragging the shaken satyr behind me and dodged through the thick trees. The hydra however, was having trouble, and was shooting flames and roaring at us. Finally, we lost it and it gave up the chase.
"I'm sorry!" pleaded Stemmings "I thought it was out of range! I'm sorry!"
"It's fine" I told him "we're OK and that's what matters." Then I collapsed on the soft forest floor to catch my breath.
Sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Frodo. Ya, i know what you're thinking. "What kind of name is Frodo?" Well its not my real name, it's my initials. Fin Rodd Odysseus Daedalus Oakley. That's what you get when your dad is obsessed with the Lord of the Rings and Greek Mythology. But I like it. It makes me feel different in a good way. Not the kind of different my ADHD and OCD make me feel. Anyways, my dad died three years ago so now I go by the name he secretly gave me. Frodo.
So now you're probably thinking "well great, thats cool and all, but what's up with the satyr and hydra?" Well I only know what they are cause I share my father's love for mythology. This all started a week ago. I was at school with Eric Stemmings, my closest friend at East Side Community High, who now I know is a satyr. We were just leaving school when I noticed a cat following us. It was huge, but I didn't really notice anything unusual about it. That is, until Stemmings started sniffing. Ya, sniffing. Like a dog. He stopped and turned. "Oh no" he whispered.
"What?" i asked
"A sphinx"
"What? That's just a cat."
"Look at it Frodo. Look at it really hard."
Somehow, the cat looked bigger. It was the size of a cougar and looked like a lion. What was the worst part, it had the face of a woman. "S-s-sphinx" I didn't even hesitate. I grabbed Stemmings and ran. We ran for what seemed like two hours until we collapsed in an alley. "What the heck just happened!? Did you see the sphinx?"
"Ya. You're not crazy. But you gotta trust me now. There will be more monsters. We need to go somewhere safe. Everything will be explained when we get there. Just trust me on this."
There was something in the way he said it that made me believe him. So we ran
