The gods apparently had sent me to an island not far from Jump City. A few miles away was a smaller island. On the island was a large T. I wondered who would live in such a ridiculous building. I shake my head and mount Zues. The island I was on on the other hand was beautiful. There was a large beach and a small wood. I decide to explore the woods to find a potential spot for a small cottage and stable. As I rode though the woods I could hear birds chirpping, and the roar of a nearby waterfall. Soon I come to a clearing where the waterfall was crashing down, which made a small pond. I ride closer to the water, and dismount. I kneel over and look at the water. It was crystal clear. I reach my hand into the water. It feels like touching air. I withdraw my hand and dry it off on my skirt. I get up and look around the clearing."Well, looks like we're going to be living here." I said to Zues,Athena,and Apollo. I begin to mark out the area where a stable and cottage would be. Once marked out, I begin to chop trees for the cottage and stable. The stable was built first. To be sure that if there were any cyotes around, they wouldn't get to Zues. Before I build the cottage I harvested some alfalfa, and tall grass. Using twine, I hang the alfalfa from trees to dry out. The grass is put into the stable for something soft for Zues to sleep on. Then I begin to build the cottage. The logs are laid on top of each other and then mud is put in between the cracks for insalation. I put a wall inside for an extra room before I put on the roof. I have Zues and Apollo help me put on the roof. Once the roof is on I use my powers to cut out windows and a door. Inside I cut a door on the left side of the extra wall. The building was grueling work so I decide to take a soak in the pond. I strip down to my undergarments and step into the cool water. The water relieves me of my sore mucles as I soak. I sigh deeply in comfort.
After an hour I come out of the pool and dry off by shaking the loose water off. I dress and wistle for Zues. Zues comes trotting out of the wood with some grass sticking out of his mouth. Athena is not far behind him. "Athena," I said sweetly, "Will you go catch us some dinner? Rabbit would do nicely." Athena mews sweetly and prances back into the woods. " Apollo keep an eye on Athena so she doesn't get into trouble please." I said to Apollo, and Apollo flies off. I mount Zues and ride bareback to the beach carrying a saddle bag.
Once I'm at the beach, I jump off of Zues, and take the saddle bag with me. Using my hand, I scoop up some sand, and pour it into the bag. Once full, I close the bag and jump back onto Zues. I canter back to the clearing.
After I return to the clearing I take off Zues's saddle, saddle bag, blanket, and bridal, I put Zues's tack in there proper places in the stable, but keep the bag of sand. I start a fire, with a small pot over it. I pour the sand, and sone dragon blood into the pot. I run off to find a hollow bamboo stick. I manage to find one, and grab a ladle. I go to the pot, scoop up the concouction, and start to blow in it with the bamboo stick. Soon I have a glass bottle. I stop blowing and take out the bamboo stick. I carefully be-rid of the top and soon have a bowl. I continue to do this until I have a complete set of eating utensils. 8 to be exact. I build a small trough, and fill it with water. I put all the sets in the water, so the glass becomes nice and strong. I begin on working on flat pieces of glass for windows. I pour the melted glass into molds I had made earlier. Once settled thouse go into the trough as well. I begin on working on a inside fireplace to keep the cabin warm. The fire place is finished, and I begin on the window shutter, and frames. I take out the glass for the windows and put them into the frames and make sure they can open and close. Then, I begin on the shutters by bolting them down and making sure that they open and close as well. Then I start to work on the inside of the cabin. The plumbing, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, ect. After about 4 hours I'm finished. I walk outside to look for some vegtables, when Athena comes to me, and drops 2 fat rabbits at my feet. Hse meos happily. I pick up the rabbits by their hind feet and stoke Athena. I take the rabbits, and the pot inside the cabin. I call Zues, so I can hose him off. I wash him with a special mixture I had made myself. I wash away all the gunk and grim, before I dry him off. "Good boy!" I said patting him on the back. I lead him to his stable, and take a special oil with me. I put some on my hands, and begin massaging Zues. The oil was to relax and enhance his mucles. I hear a scream from the city. I sigh, and say "Duty calls." I get Zues's bridal and my sword. I hop onto Zues and tell Appollo and Athena to keep an eye on the clearing. I urge Zues into an immediate gallop and find myself in the air in no time. I guide Zues into the city where I am about to begin my task.
Hope you liked that chapter! I'm working on anouther story. You Can't Hide Who You Really Are. Chapter 14 is coming soon!
