The Story of Clotho

I awoke to a door slamming. The scent of teakwood drifting in from under the door. I look around confused. This isn't my house. How did I get here My head pounds as I struggle to remember what happened. My blood runs cold when hear a eerily familiar voice drift in from the other side of the door.

"Clo wake up…." he shouts from the hall. "Come on it's time to go. Aren't you up yet?" he chuckles.

I panic as the footsteps approach the door. GET OUT! RUN! My mind screamed. My heart beat intensifies as he comes closer to the door.

"Clotho! Come on this isn't funny, it's time for you to go. You're gonna be late if you don't get a move on."

"Are you alright?" he asks. As the door opens, I pray to Zeus that he doesn't kill me.

*Introductions*

I have come to realize that I should probably introduce myself and the man on the other side of the door. My name is Clotho. I am one of the Moriari or the Fates as we are more commonly known. Unlike what the legends say, we actually look around our mid-twenties, and don't sit ominously at corners knitting giant socks. The man on the other side of the door is Thanatos, the minor god of death.

I try my best to be calm as the doors opens and Thanatos walks in looking confused.

"Oh thank Zeus Clo, you had me really worried." He says with a smile of relief as he embraces me. A statue in his arms I try to figure out what's going on. His honey gold eyes, shine as he looks at me. I snap myself out of my daze and push away from him. Looking hurt and confused, he steps back. I look down at the floor and am embarrassed to find I'm only in thin slip.

"It's Clotho to you son of Nyx." I say with the only dignity I have left.

"No need to be so formal Clo. We are friends after all" He says with a wink.

"No we're not."

"Come on Clo cut the act, I swear if you and Hermes are up to something again-" He stops, finally realising I have no idea what he's talking about. "Do you really not remember me?"

"I… I remember… I remember there was a war… then the war was over, we had won..."

"Clo, that was over two years ago" he says softly.

"You said we were friends?"

He looks heartbroken. He takes a deep breath and turns around. "Of a sort" he says softly, "You're supposed to see Zeus at noon, we better go if you want to be on time."

He heads to the door. I stop when I remember that I'm wearing a slip

"ummm do you happen to have something for me to wear? I don't think zeus would appreciate my clothing choice." He nods, and hands me a tunica from the closet

"Who's is this?"I ask.

"Umm… it was an old friends... I keep it to remind me that she's not gone, just lost." He looks so sad and I don't know why I want to comfort him

We step outside and Thanatos calls a cab. "Empire state building" he demands as we step in.

"Please" I add. He glances at me and smiles as the cab driver pulls on to the road. "What?" I ask in Greek. "You don't have to be rude just because you're death."

He laughs so softly that at first I thought he was choking. Confused I looked out the window at the scenery. A few seconds we pass a sign that says fresh strawberries and I laugh.

"Who knew that you Thanatos would live so close to the camp? You hate the little demigods" I laugh. He glares at me and it becomes quiet again. About an hour goes by before he finally replies.

"I don't" he whispers, "I don't hate them. I pity them. They go through so much just to please us and what do they get in return a measly gift or sometimes just the 'honor' of doing our bidding. It's silly how us, some of the most powerful beings on earth, can't even do the littlest thing without the little demigods but when something important comes along we shun them and hid ourselves away, with the hope it blows over."

I am about to ask why he thought that, when a bolt of lightning comes down just feet from the cab, a warning from Zeus.

"An abuse of power that's what that is" Then a roll of thunder. He rolls his eyes and stares out the window. For the next hour we are silent. We pull up in front of the empire state building and Thanatos hands the driver a credit card after the guy hands it back we step through the doors a toward the security desk.

"Um excuse me sir we don't mean to bother you but—" I start.

"We need the key to the six-hundredth floor and if you know what's good for you you'll give us the key" Thanatos cuts in, I've never seen him this agitated before.

"Sorry but no unauthorized figures allowed on Olympus." the guard replies.

"Zeus is expecting us" I insisted.

"Lord Zeus isn't expecting a couple of demigods because Olympus is closed for repairs" he sneered.

"Now look here buddy" Thanatos said with false friendliness, "unless you want to be on Lord Hades' bad side I expect you to give us the key before I march down to my boss and demand you get eternal punishment for declining me, Thanatos, and one of the Moriari passage to Olympus. And don't think I won't because I will"

The guard looks so scared I'm afraid he's going to have a nervous breakdown. He hands us the key and gets another guard to take his place at the desk.

"Sorry he's new" The other guard says "but it gave us all a laugh seeing him meet his first god and goddess, other than some of the thirteen." Thanatos scowls and stomps away. I mouth sorry and head toward Thanatos. We hop into the elevator and ride in silence listening to the cheesy elevator music. When we finally arrive Thanatos tells me to head to the throne room while he finds Hades.

"You weren't serious were you?" I ask now worried he might take it too far.He smiles his amazing smile "No I was only half joking."

I laugh in spite of myself and walk towards the throne room anxious about what might be waiting for me there.
