Chapter 10

Time out and a freaky closet.

"Asteria!" Maia yelled.

"Holy crap Maia you scared me! Not that you don't usually." Asteria smirked. She was glad to see the little firecracker even if it was just a iris message.

"Good then I have completed my mission in life. But that is not why I am Iris-messaging you. We are talking because SOMEONE got themselves kidnapped, but I am not mentioning any names here…." She raised a black eyebrow.

"Well you know what, you were asleep the whole trip so don't you start nagging me about proper quest etiquette." Asteria stuck out her toung…

"What the heck 'quest etiquette' who says that. Now tell me where you are so we can come rescue your sorry butt."

"How am I supposed to know? I was kind of well how do I put it…umm...KNOCKED OUT!?" Asteria waved her arms in the air.

"This is no time for excuses, we have to rescue you so we can continue this quest."

"Why don't you tell me?"

"Would I be asking you if I knew?"

"No... But isn't YOUR mother the goddess of cross roads? , so you tell me where I am!"

"Ah ha! So you are on a road! Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"No I am not on a road! Good gods save me!" Astra (short for Asteria if you haven't noticed already) put her hand to her forehead.

"That is what I am trying to do. Guardian Angles at your service, 'saving people that were to un-important for the gods to save themselves since 500 B.C.'" Maia bowed.

"You are so un-nerving. And that was not funny…at all." She said as she picked up a silver comb from the large vanity.

"Thank you. Now where are you for the last time! Wait! No Asteria don't throw that, we need to be able to speak!" Maia's eyes grew dark...er.

"You are psychotic; all I wanted to do was comb my hair… You know there are some people in this big world that take care of their hair. " she innocently combed her long dark brown hair.

"Oh you're just jealous that you don't have my awesome hair" she said and finger combed her black hair which got stuck in an ancient knot.

"Anyways…Oh… so are you in the air, on land or in the water?" She continued.

"I am hanging up now…" Asteria rolled her eyes.

"Don't do that! I only know so far that you are in this universe… great start right?"

"Alright from all I can see outside there is water and palm trees now LEAVE ME ALONE!" Asteria yelled and swatted the Iris-message away.

"Was it something I said?" Was the last thing that Astra heard her best friend say.

*Breaks connection*

Asteria

Guards banged on the large oak doors.

"Open up your wanted in the great hall." A husky voice boomed.

"Hold on I'm not decent!" but they didn't listen they rammed at the door which only look three tries and the door was open. Asteria screamed.

"I was serious! Turn around so change in semi- privacy."

I sped-walked around the corner and locked myself into the walk in closet.

"Oh. My. Gods." And standing in front of me was a simple white robe.

"it's enchanted." A female voice said. I turned around.

"Wha…who…huh?" I was confused and what was this lady doing in my room? Doesn't anyone get the point of doors these days?

"My name is Anacleta, Your personal hand maid. This garment is enchanted. Put it on and imagine any outfit you want and it will change into it at will. No ties attached." She said and walked towards the robe.

"Anything…." I said trying to think if she was lying or not.

"Anything. Why don't you try it on?" she said and slipped the white robe over my shoulders. I thought of an outfit I had back home. A grey turtleneck dress white leggings and ankle boots.

"Brava Asteria come Kronos is waiting."
