Psyche POV

I'm sure you all have heard about my near-death experience at the hands of Hyperion. Well, it was a real crazy ordeal. I almost went to the Underworld. It went like this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*flashback*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had just been stabbed in the gut. I don't remember that much, but I felt like I was floating away. I remember faintly hearing my dad's voice, saying "We have to get her to Will!" I don't know what he meant, but I thought I was off bad.

2 hours later, (American healthcare system) I was in a bed, with something that tasted like my dad's pancakes. I felt a little better, but I still felt like I was floating. Then, I saw the hooded figure of Death taking me away.

"Don't worry. I'm not sure if this is permanent." He said in his silky voice.

"This isn't fair!" I yelled.

"Fair. That is a word I heard too many times. This never is." Yeah, but I didn't want to go.

He took me to Charon.

"No fee? Can't cross. Do you have any idea how expensive Italian suits are?" he asked.

"No can do, friend. Lord Hades has demanded she be brought directly to him."

"All right. She can pass. But that means double the fare when it actually comes, little girl."

Creep.

As we flew through the Underworld, I saw Tantalus reaching for an apple, Sisyphus pushing his rock, and Orpheus playing his lyre with his wife. Glad to see he eventually got a happy ending. We finally made it to Hades.

"Psyche Jackson. I heard about your…predicament, and I had to speak to you." He said in his oily voice. "The Fates have not made it your time, yet. But I have some information I need to disclose."

"What is it?" I asked fearfully. I had a feeling I knew the answer.

"The Titans are trying to revive their father. If you don't come back, then Ouranos shall return, and I don't want to spend eternity rotting in Tartarus with my brothers and sisters, forced to do labor for Kampe. You need to come back."

And so, I returned. In a coma. And that is how it was for another 2 days, until I felt like my stomach was closed and I woke up.

"We have to stop this, or it could be the end of the world." I said.

"We can get some friends…" Mom said vaguely.

"Like Uncle Magnus?" I asked. He's actually my first cousin, once removed, and dead, but apparently, he still has some power. But it seems like we'll need all the help we can get.
