1 review in 3 days? VERY DISSAPOINTING PPL.

Well now that you saw ashlynns side of things, lets get back to where the story is meant to reside, with Herry.

I woke up, head throbbing, body aching, in the middle of a hospital. The light above temporarily blinded me. Green curtains surrounded me on both sides with my head rest against the white wall. It felt so calm and relaxing, like a hospital should be. My eyes readjusted within a few seconds.

"Oh good you're awake." said a dark haired nurse as she walked by. "How are you feeling darlinng?"

The woman couldn't have been older than 30. By the time I was awake enough to speak, she had already fetched me a hot drink.

"I'm OK I think. What happened?" I asked.

"A young girl around your age brought you in. You had an infected stab wound which is fine now. The doctor said that there will be a scar. You've been out of it for almost 3 days now."

"Three days?" I replied in astonishment. It felt like I had been out for a second. Not that my brain would have known differently. The girl who took me in must have been Ashlynn. "Where's the girl?"

"She left in quite a hurry. She did leave some stuff here though for you." She beckoned to the table with my wallet, my book, and a note. The woman left me to inform the doctor about my awakening. In that time, I reached over with my sore arms for the note and began reading.

Herry,

I went around the mountian like you said, but I had a run in with Medea. I managed to take her down enough to escape and find you. The truck is gone though. I retreived what I could. I found you in the entrance on the other side of the mountain. Whatever that thing that looked like mist was about o feast on you so I shot it and it retreated. I took you here. They say you are fine but may not wake up for a while. Knowing Medea, she was bound to get back on her feet soon enough. So I've left you here with your stuff to divert her. I'm going to New Olympia. I will find the Oracle if I can, but I will wait for you. Even if I have to wait years, I will wait for you. When you're strong enough, meet me there.

I love you.

-Ashlynn.

That last sentence caught me off guard. Love? Could a girl like her really love me? Did either of us even know what love is? I felt something with her that I had never felt before. I didn't know if it was love or not, but whatever it was, it was enough to make me determined enough to find her.

The doctor showed up from behind the green curtains. He had dark hair and a broad smile.

"I see you're awake. Can I please have your name sir? Your friend never told us what it is."

"Its uh, Harry."

"Well Harry, while it is good to see you awake, I am afraid we will have to keep you here until tomorrow morning."

"Fair enough."

The man walked closer. "You shouldn't need those bandages anymore." He unwrapped the bandage delicatly and what I saw before simply shocked me.

From the top of my shoulder, to the middle of my bicep, there was a tattoo on my left arm. Ink black and in a vine like pattern.

"What happened to my arm?" I asked frantickly.

The doctor who remained calm said, "The poison that infected your arm seemed to stain your skin tissue causing in the tattoo. How the ink formed in such an artistic patter is beyond me. That is the scar the nurse mentioned. It seems like it will be carried for life."

I stared at the tattoo. I didn't mind tattoos but I never wanted one myself, yet now I had one. At least it wasn't of some unicorn or dragon or something. It was a simple black pattern. I would have to live with it.

I was stuck in a hospital bed for 12 hours besides the occasional toilet break. I decided to settle down and read the book. Over the weeks, I had progressed through the adventures of my parents. I was on the second last story at this point. It was called, The Phantom Rising.

I read on for hours, consumed by the book as it told the tale of my mother becoming strong enough with her psychic abilities to take down Zeus, the head honcho of Greek Mythology, the big man, the undefeatable. And my mom beat him with a giant crab. That was when it got even better. She started turning on her friends. It took the feelings of Jay, my dad to stop her. It took a kiss to seal it away, return the powers of the gods, and return life to "Normal".

I wondered what my parents would have thought about my adventure. It wasn't quite as shiny or even as exciting. It was just me, driving across Canada, with a girl, who became all he cared about, and a destiny that he was clueless of.

It didn't sound so bad when you said it like that.

After finishing the happy ending with the false alrm on the defeated Cronus part, I had a nap and began reading the final chapter, "The Grande finale". Imagine a city full of humans. Now give them guns and other weapons and charge them against an army of ruthless monsters. Pretty grande if you ask me. It seemed a little overboard, like out of some fantasy movie or something. It didn't deter me from reading the whole story from beginning to end. It answered so many questions for me. It sealed the fact that my dad was a god. They offered it to him. simple as that. It was the battle that the old woman outside of Winnepeg was in and lost almost all her children. The fact that they were all hiding the truth about Greek Myths astounded me. How two thousand people managed to keep a mutual secret. It was why the authorities kept them anonymous until now. I read how Herry died. I kept myself from letting a tear from my eye fall when they said he was dead. The the team began going their separate ways after everything. My dad sailing to god knows where and my mom going to boarding school. It seemed rather anti climactic. But reality isn't a story, its reality. Reality doesn't follow climaxes or storylines. Shit happens I guess. And that was where the book ended. Cronus was dead. Mortal. Dead. GONE. How could that thing in the woods be Cronus. It wasn't. It was teh unspoken one, whoever that was. Only one man would know who it was; the Oracle. I knew that once I got out of this town, it was non stop to New Olympia.

But there was only one problem: Without a truck, how will I get there?

Shorter than usual, but I might have had more motivation to write more if I had more than one review. ;)

Please review see you next time!
