It was midnight when I arrived back at the empire state building. I took out my keys and unlocked the door. I had stolen them from the security guard on my way out.
I then snuck into the building. I knew that there were security guards here, but I wasn't worried. After all, I did outrank them.
I walked up to the man's desk. He was no longer there. Probably at home, fast asleep. I opened up the drawer and found the key.
The key was attached to a ring, that had a card on it. Olympus security with the omega symbol under it. Weird.
I went over to the elevator and pressed the up button. The elevator soon arrived. Once inside, I found the slot. Above it, was the omega symbol.
I inserted the key and turned. Then as if being shot from a cannon, it went up. I lost my balance and fell to the ground, my white hair covering my face.
The elevator slowed down and then the doors dinged open. Moving my hair out of my face, I got a clear view of what laid beyond the doors. And my eyes widened.
What the heck did I just get myself into?
Alex
I sighed.
"Mother, may I take a walk in the garden?" I asked.
Mom looked at me.
"I guess it is a beautiful night. Go ahead. But it is already midnight, you should get some sleep." Mom said.
"I will." I replied.
Then I kissed her cheek and got up and left. Then I left her palace and went down to the gardens.
My mother was Aphrodite. I'm her youngest child, at 19 years old. Everyone, besides the gods and her children, thinks that she only cares about her self and acts like a fangirl all the time. That's not true. She cares about everyone. Sure, she acts like a fangirl sometimes, but not all the time.
I loved walking through the gardens at night. The moon would always be reflecting off the water making it glow. And the flowers themselves would be glowing as well.
The satyrs, nymphs, and naiads would sit by fires and the satyrs would play on their pipes and/or they would be dancing around the fire. The naiads would be dancing with the satyrs as the nymphs would be singing.
And I loved hearing them. They were always so happy.
"Hey, Alex." One of the satyrs said, running up to me.
The satyr was my best friend, Raymond Carpenter or Ray as I called him.
"Hey, Ray." I said.
"So, still living with your mom?" Ray joked.
"Yes." I said.
"Seriously, you are nineteen, dude. Only stupid lazy mortals stay with their parents after turning nineteen." Ray said.
"All of mom's kids are living in the mortal world. She's kind of overprotective. Plus, I never stepped foot out of Olympus before. I have no idea what it's like. So, how do you expect me to survive with the mortals?" I asked.
"You have a point there." Ray admitted.
"Exactly." I said.
"So, you just going to live here for the rest of your life?" Ray asked.
"Yeah. And you know that if I left I wouldn't get to see you anymore." I said.
Ray covered his cheeks with his hands and gasped. His eyes were wide.
"That's right!" He exclaimed, joking.
We laughed.
"You are so drunk." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Yep!" He said.
Then he hiccuped, making me laugh again.
We reached the elevator which would bring us to the mortal realm.
Wait a minute, what's the elevator doing here?
