Gods, I think they probably own me.
Icas and Liam
'So what do we do if the bird comes back? Or brings its mate?' Liam asked.
'I don't know, poke it I the eye with a stick maybe,' Icas joked.
'I'm serious!'
'What makes you think I'm not?' Icas answered defensively.
'We need to find the others,' you could tell Liam was annoyed as he walked off.
'Hey wait for me,' Icas called running to catch up with him.
The two had been walking for what seemed like hours. Every part of where they were looked the same. In every direction were the same green trees, green hedges and the same green grass. Little rivers could be seen all over the place.
'Uhhh, I think we're maybe, perhaps a little lost.' Liam uttered.
'You think?' Icas said sarcastically.
'Why are you being so sarcastic?'
'Why do you keep stating the obvious?'
They both carried on throwing insults at each other for ages, and probably still would be at it today if a certain someone hadn't intervened.
'BOYS!' a female voice shouted. 'I though you were supposed to be looking for your friends. You do still remember them don't you?'
The two boys turned to see who the voice belonged to.
'Aphrodite!' Icas exclaimed.
She ignored him and carried on. 'One is about this tall with blonde hair, and the other is about his tall with brown hair.'
'APHRODITE!' Icas yelled.
'Will you please stop saying my name, I know perfectly well what it is, and how it sounds like!'
Her sarcasm made his shoulders stoop.
'Now, you both need to find your friends! No more arguments, you hear?'
'Yes mother,' Icas answered sarcastically as usual.
'I heard that. Would you like a Queen Young Jason?' she asked Icas.
'I have a girlfriend.' he paused, 'What do you mean by calling me Jason? Why would I want a queen?'
She filled him in about with all the Jason and the Argonauts information, is was appalling how bad his knowledge was!
'Ant more outbursts like that and I'll make sure you never fall in love again, or be loved in return!' she threatened.
'Sorry,' he apologised, at least he knew she was the Goddess of love!
Liam spoke up for the first time since her arrival. 'Aphrodite we're a bit lost, can you help us?' he asked hopefully.
'It's not really my job, but I am supposed to help you lot. Don't ask me why because I don't know! I don't even know why you're here!' she answered. It was true, she didn't know, not even Zeus knew could come up with a good explanation. The best he could come up with was that the fates were teaching them a lesson about accepting their heritage, but even that was a little hard to believe. The fates never really tell anyone what they've planned, or the reasons why they do with what they do, it's supposed to be a surprise.but not always a good one.
'Ok, what you do is go North from here, when you get to a tall black tree go East until you reach a river. A little South is a bridge, cross it and you'll see a path. Follow it, and you'll be fine,' Aphrodite gave them directions and then disappeared.
'I hate it when she does that,' Icas complained.
'Does what?' Liam asked.
'Disappears, and doesn't give us all the information we need.'
Liam shrugged, 'Which way is North?' he asked changing the subject.
'Well the sun rises in the East, and sets in the West. It's that way!' Icas pointing.
'You sure?' Liam asked.
'Of course,' Icas answered confidently.
'If your sure.'
They both headed in the direction Icas chose, only it was unknown to them both that it was the Southern direction.
