Sumire's p.o.v

"Sumire! Run!"

Eri shouted to me while she took out a bow and a quiver of sparkling arrows out of thin air. This enormous dog, with razor sharp teeth, claws like knives, and eyes the color of a horrid yellow, was chasing us, looking for tasty humans to devour. What's really going on? This isnt the first time this happened. But whenever it does, Eri would yell at it, threaten it in some language which surprisingly i understood even though i never heard it in my life, or do something so blinding i cannot make out.

"Sumire, Go!" She yells again as she shoots the hound right in the eye.

"What about you?"

"Im coming right... NOW!" She dashes towards me after blinding the other eye of the dog-monster. As we ran, Eri murmured something i cant hear and out of nowhere, something blinding appeared in front of us. It was so bright, but i could make out the faintest of detail. a silhouette of a tall man with shaggy hair, and a shape like a car in the back of him. The light had faded, and a teenage guy, about 17, was that man i thought i saw. In the back of him was a sports-car.

"Father!" Eri smiled and bowed down, edging me to do the same.

"F-Father? This guy's you father?" He looked far too young to even have any kids his age. Eri was 15 and he was like, i have no idea, 17?

"Eri! Rise! You too!" Eri's father smiled, his smile was gleaming. "Did you need anything, Eri?"

"How di-! But yo- Ehh?" I stuttered. What's going on? Eri was an orphan! How could her father appear before her so... like bam! Im here! whaddya need?

"A hellhound was chasing us. Daddy, We cant hold out much longer in the mortal world anymore. Can you-" Before Eri could finish her sentence, her father jumped in and knew what she was about to say.

"I know, i know. I know everything, right? Hop in! i was heading that way myself! of course Eri, you got some explaining to do to your friend here. Sumire, was it?" He turned to me and smiled brilliantly, exposing his pearly white teeth.

"I call shotgun!" Eri immediately hopped into the car, not even the least bit shocked that it came out of nowhere. I hesitated a bit, but if Eri can go safely in, then i might as well can too. I sat in the back. the car, surprisingly really warm. the car started. and we were flying.

"I know what you're thinking. What's happening? Why's the car flying? Who really are you? A million questions running through your mind!"

"Yes! How did you know?"

"Because anyone in your situation would be that way too!" Eri smiled her signature optimistic smile.

"Then tell me what's going on? Why are monsters always chasing us? How do you defeat them like that? Who's your dad? I need answers Eri!" I was frightened, shocked, surprised, awed, and a whole lot more all at once.

"Do you know about the Greek gods?" Eri sounded serious this time. that's the shocking part.

"Yeah, you checked out all the books from the library about them. Why wouldnt i know? Zeus, Hades, Apollo, Hestia.."

"best not to say those names at this time.." Eri's father chided. Why cant i say them?

"Well they're real. In existence. They're no myths."

"You got to be joking with me." But I was running from a monster dog, an now im flying in a car. I have no choice but to believe her.

"See my dad?" Eri pointed her thumb to the driver's seat

"Im Apollo!" Ok, somebody pinch me. I have got to be dreaming. Apollo, God of the sun, music, medicine, poetry cannot be Eri's dad. But it's true

"And you, Sumire, are not full mortal."
