Chris POV

Turns out dirt doesn't taste very good.

I woke up in a black brown haze. It was until then I realized I was head first in the dirt, and I promptly dug myself out.

It was morning, which was odd, because I clearly remember it being noontime. Which was even more odd was that pieces of glass shards of some sort, some small as a bottle cap, some as big as a young pine tree, were scattered around the wrecked hovercraft and myself.

Standing up wasn't easy. I was dizzy, and I'm pretty sure the impact put me into temporary paralysis, but it seemed to be wearing off. When I did succeed, I surveyed my surroundings. I was in a forest, everything was covered in mud, and chunks of components, steel and steel alloys were scattered all over the place. Did I mention the glass shards?

I checked and poked around the area. I knew if I was going to stay here a while, i was going to have to make camp. So I started organizing myself.

The scrap metal sure embedded itself pretty well. While some chunks of steel were easy to pull out, I'm pretty sure some went about four feet deep, and I would need to make a shovel to get them out. I made a list of what I stockpiled. If you wanted to know what REALLY was strewn around the place, here's a list:

Components

Steel slag and chunks from ship

Weird glass shards

Plywood

Pieces of wire

Glass shards

Engine Parts (3/13)

Omega Lithium Batteries

A half burnt furby (don't ask)

That was the last of the things all over the floor. I bundled what I could and put them back on the ship, because the ship does have a storage system left. I haven't really poked around that much in the storage room, because I usually put stuff in my infinity bag and leave. This time, I had put my bag in the storage room, and now I could see what good stuff was actually in there.

There was a weapon chest in there, which contained a lot of different type of guns, knives, tools, bows, and immense amounts of ammo. That was good, because I left most of weapons at home. The few things I brought was a compound sniper rifle (sniper rifle that can be broken into multiple weapons) and about two dozen gravity bombs (changes the gravity in a certain area to whatever I see fit).

After packing all the things into the hovercraft's storage bay, I decided that I would want to explore the place around me for a bit. But I was hecka paranoid, so I decided to cover the ship in dirt, grass, and a big camouflaging tarp covered with some more grass. The whole fiasco took almost six hours, and it was already high noon.

I picked out some of my favorite weapons. My compound bow, my compound sniper rifle, my infinity bag, my melodica, my phone with a continuous wifi hotspot, and a pack of rations. Hopefully none of things got stolen when I was gone, because that would suck.

I had barely gone a couple hundred meters when I bumped into something. Let me rephrase that. Someone. And it was one of the weirdest creatures I ever saw.

"Uh.. hey.. Sorry if I bumped into you. Why are you here in the middle of the woods?"

"Um.. I live here." He said. " And dear Pan did my day go wrong pretty quick!"

I didn't know what the guy was talking about. All I knew that the weird guy with a pink flower in his hair had a horrible day, and if there's any information I need it's from a strange, poorly dressed dude in the middle of the woods. So I asked for him to continue.

"Well, I was watching the great Apollo's concert when a weird sound came out of nowhere! The weird sound would only happen every other day, and it was really getting on my nerves. Then the great Apollo himself asked me if I knew anything. It's very odd for a god to ask questions to a satyr but-"

"Wait a minute." I said in suspicion. "You mean to tell me the ancient greek god Apollo, is here? Are you a believer of some sort? Like a church?"

"No. I'm not a believer," The weird dude said. "But Apollo isn't ancient. He's actually relatively recent, and he's the best singer and music player ever! I would love to get a signed picture, but I'm too scared to. Also, what's a church?"

I had a sneaking suspicion that the guy I was talking to wasn't an average human, and I couldn't risk telling anyone my true identity. Also, I really wanted to stay calm, because being serious usually made my eyes glow golden yellow, and the poor guy would just think I was another god talking to him. So I decided to lay low. I said, "It's… nevermind. Also what's this about you being a satyr?"

"Oh yea! I'm a satyr. Look at this!", and he pulled his legs out from behind the tree he was standing next to. I jumped back and yelped in surprise, because those weren't normal legs.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LEGS DUDE?" I yelled, pointing to the goat legs of the poor guy. "How did this happen?"

"Uh, you shouldn't be so surprised about me having goat legs." he said. "Satyr's naturally have goat legs and a human upper half. All of Greece knows this."

I took a step back and thought for a while. I was in Greece. No idea how I landed here, I was across the Atlantic Ocean yesterday morning and I only remembered a big flash of light and me falling twenty thousand feet to my death. So if I was in Greece, I was bound to find a city sooner or later.

So I decided to take my leave and go to the nearest city. So I asked the satyr with the pink flower in his hair (weird combo) and asked, "Do you know the way to the closest city?"

"Yea. It's just about three miles ahead and you'll make it to Athens in no time."

Twenty minutes later, I found the city of Athens. It was pretty big, and I remembered that the town was named after Athena, goddess of wisdom, for gifting them with an olive tree. Personally, I think potatoes could beat olives any day. I began exploring and saw many wonders of the world. The coliseum, the pantheon, all the other buildings I had no clue what were for. You know. The works.

It was beginning to get swelteringly hot, and I didn't know why. Come to think about it, almost everyone I saw was looking at me funny or looking at the sky. So I decided to join them on doing the latter. And boy what a sight.

There was a huge hole in the sky, as if someone threw a baseball at a glass window, and it made all those spiderweb cracks. Pieces of sky glass were hovering around the hole and some even fell to the ground that probably caused a lot of property damage. I still had a shard of the sky glass in my pocket that looked more like a refined crystal than a glass shard, so I held onto it for safekeeping

I really couldn't take in everything all at once. The people in togas. The abnormally hot day. The hole in the sky. So I took out my cell phone, sat down on a nearby rock, and took out my earbuds and listened to some nice music… all to myself… with my eyes closed.

*TAP* *TAP*

Jeez. I was so into my music I didn't hear the young man who was practically yelling at me and touching my shoulder to get my attention.. So I pulled out my headphones and said, "Oh sorry. I couldn't hear you. Do you have something to say?" He nodded. He said, "I don't know how you didn't know I was trying to talk to you for a while, but you have noticed the hole, right?"

I said, "Yea, I did. I wonder how it got there." The young guy picked up a shard of sky glass that was on the floor.

"I don't know what these are, but these things are probably really powerful. Whenever I hold them, I get really tired." He yawned. "Here. You hold it."

I did. And somehow I wasn't affected. The young guy looked sort of perplexed at what was happening, but soon turned his head to something else.

My melodica. It was hanging out of my infinity bag.

"What's that little board hanging out of your golden bag? Is it used for anything?"

"Oh," I said, as I crammed my cellphone into the bag and pulled my melodica out. "It's a musical instrument that you can play with both your fingers and your breath! It's like a mix of a piano and flute."

I didn't even ask the guy if he wanted to hear it. I began playing one of my favorite songs, Shooting Stars by the Bag Raiders. It's a good song, and by the time I was finished with half of it, a group of people had formed. Some were even cheering.

When I finished, the young guy, who told me his name was Acomitus, said "That was so well done! I heard the god Apollo does these concerts in the woods! It would be so great to see you play with him! Or maybe even… Against him!"

"Er.. that's nice. Do you know where the concert clearing is?"

"You're actually going? That was supposed to be a joke! Well, if you really want to go, I can show you the way tomorrow. You can stay at my home. Don't worry. I'll tell my parents."

So I started off the day with knowing nothing, and I ended up with a lot of admirers, a new friend, and if the Greek stories are true, a one way trip to compete against a music god who skinned his opponent. This is why I like staying indoors.

Chris tries to be a good and funny protagonist but he was a little boring today

"Acomitus (UH-COM-I-TIS) has joined your party!"
