It was 6:00 once we encountered our first obstacle. We were wondering in some part of the woods when we smelle some stinky smells .
" there must be some sewer system around here" said kolin . He was covering his nose with his shirt .
" not just any sewer system my ignorant boy " said a disembodied voice " it is the cloaca maxima " suddenly , a whiff of very bad smell passed by . It was so bad it made me dizzy. After the nausea passed , i looked behind me and found cat staring on something infront of me , all of them were looking at something infront of me . I looked infront of me and i almost loved pollution .
Infront of me was the most beutiful woman i ever met . She had chocolate lock of hair flowing down her shoulders . Her eyes were the same color of the sky . She had skin the color of cappuccino. The only bad thing about her was her dress . It was a dress made completely of water , but not just anywater . It was made of ( you guessed it ) freaking green polluted water . The dress was flowing on the ground and connected to a circular hole in the ground , which i guessed it must me the cloaca maxima .
" who are you ? " asked kat
" ugh " said the pretty pollution ( as kolin called her ) " some ignorant greeks , that is all i need " she said
" i am the son of poseidon " i said firmly " i order you to speak "
" bah !" She said " you dare order me gracius " she said it as some sort of insult " i know only neptune , but poseidon !? Forget it "
" who is this woman , razor ? " i asked the lion
" this is cloacina " answered razor " the roman goddes of the cloaca maxima , also known as the great drain "
" so , cloacina means drain ?" Asked kolin " man , it sucks to be you . You must have made your parents angry " the water aroun cloacina started swirling faster
" watch your words son of the sun -"
" lol , she said son of the sun "
" - i can destroy you and your friends as easy as i can speak . Go in peace and i will not harm you . But you greeks are not allowed to pass over my great sewer system . "
" that is very bad " said mohammed " her sewer system was the greatest in rome , so if it moved into america ... gods , this thing must cover the whole area "
" how come it does not overlap with the labyrinth ? " i asked
" who said it doesn't ?" answered ashraf " a week ago , i was exploring the labyrinth with nyssa and we found that some part of the labyrinth are actually sewer pipes. "
" great cloacina -"
" drain " snickered kolin
"- is there anyway we can gain your favor and pass over your great sewer ?"
Mohammed glance at her like really negga , great cloacina ? Great sewer ?
" good for you males that you have some female with manners " she wagged her fingers at us , the males. She looked back to kat " perhaps there is a way ," she tapped her gorgeous chin . " there is this miserable snake , amphisbaena , who lives in my sewers . He is always blocking the flow of water and cleaning my sewers . If you could go down there and destroy him , then you may pass over my sewers. " Kolin looked very pale , kat was sitting heroically, and mohammad was playing with his bow .
" okay cloacina " i said " your sewers will be saved "
We dropped into the sewers riding razor . We turned the covertable sealing on and we entered stealth mode . Razor have released perfume to cover the smell of the sewer . Since we had the convertable ceiling on , we could only speak to kolin through microphones . Kolin also had a convertable ceiling and a music player . Kat reached the music player and turned on " move your body " fo sia .
" hey " said Mohammad, turning off the music " do you want amphis to hear us ?"
" amphis ?" Asked kolin
" yeah , short for amphisbaena " we stayed silent throught the rest of the trip. At some point , we started hearing some slithering, so we turned of the convertable ceiling and continued moving forward . When her sewer majesty said blocking the flow of water , i could not help but think about the world serpent . But a small golden snake was not what i expected . Okay , it was golden , so i would give her a 4/10 , but that thing could not block a sewer . And when i say small , i mean so small that it could not be mesured with meters only centimeters . It was about 20 centimeters and very thin .
" that's it ? " asked kolin
" i think so " said kat . We dropped the stealth mode and went toward the snake . When the snake saw us , he hissed , and started glowing . Suddenly , the snake grew in size and became the size of the whole sewer .
" run. Run , run , run , run , run , run " screamed kollin . Mohammed simply unslung his backpack and he flew . Kat , kolin , and i rode on razor and then started running. We ran and amphis followed . Kolin started throwing arrows and with every arrow , a note played and with every note the snake seemed to be sleeping . Cosmic arrows appeared out of nowhere and hit amphisin the nose . I assumed they were from mohammed . Suddenly , kolin screamed .
" stop " he ordered . I stopped , he jumped of razor and started playing his bow . It was so nice , i thought that i will hate all the music i listened to before . He continued playing and his bow started to shine , and with the shining of his bow , amphis started glowing . The longer kolin played the brighter amphis shone . Amphis came to a stop just infront of kolin and kolin stopped playing . He touched the snake's face and the snake shrunk and slithered up kolin's hand . The snake wrapped itself around kolin's neck and stayed there like a scarf.
" i got a pet " said kolin proudly
We got out of the sewer system and smelled the less stinky air. Her stinky majesty was nowhere to be seen , which meens that we have succeeded. We passed and we continued on our way towards the doors of orpheus , the entrance to the underworld . Think that this was cool ? Wait till u hear about our encounter with Erebos , the god of darkness
