A/N: Oh my gosh. Guys. I'm so sorry I didn't update. I haven't been getting any reviews... Okay. So, here's the thing. I can't make Mark come back to life, but I can make him be reborn. And, even though technically he would be a baby, I'll have him be reborn as a person Hunter's age. He'll act similar to Mark, but he may be just a mortal, may be a demigod. I'm not sure yet. This chapter will be dedicated to the process of Mark being reborn. LET'S DO THIS POO!
Mark's POV:
As I was sitting in my house in Elysium, I heard a knock on the door. So I got up to answer the door.
"Were you Mark Ashington?" asked a tall guard from Hades' palace.
I nodded slowly. "Yes sir, I am- was. I was."
"My Lord sent this for you." The man handed me a note, then disappeared in wispy black smoke.
I opened the note, and it read:
Mark Ashington:
You have been selected for a chance to be reborn. Please report to the Judgment Hall immediately to be assessed. If you do not come, you will not be considered for another century or more.
Hades
I dropped the note and ran to the Judgment Hall as fast as I could. As soon as I got there I was told to stand in a spot with twenty or so other people. I took my place as they started to assess everyone. I had no idea what to expect. I blinked, and we were in a room similar to the one Will Smith was in for his Ghostbusters test. Of course, I was stuck without any flat surface to write on. I decided to turn my chair around and see if I could use the wall. I looked pretty weird, but I managed to finish my test. As soon as I finished I was in a big field.
The field was pretty much like the Fields of Asphodel, but there were no spirits except the ones being tested. There were significantly fewer than before the written test. We were told that there were a series of physical tests that we had to go through to prove we could handle living again.
The first test was weight lifting. Monster fighting all my life had prepared me for this one. It was relatively easy. The next test was a test of stamina. Depending on what age you were reborn as, and what occupation you chose, you needed this to be fairly good. Again, I passed this.
Later, after running, throwing things, swordplay, and wrestling, only me and one other person were left standing. The final test was... Did I hear him right? He said it was dancing.
The other person looked as petrified as I felt. I could barely do any dances, unless it was break dancing or slow dancing.
"Is there any music?" I asked.
The judge shrugged, and suddenly a rap song by Macklemore was on. Luckily I had heard it before somewhere, and I started break dancing to it. The other kid looked confused, and didn't know what to do. He disappeared, and I was the only one left.
"Congratulations, Mark Ashington. You have passed all the required tests to be reborn. Report to the River Lithe," boomed a voice from above me.
I went to the river, and they prepared me for rebirth. I was given a long white robe to wear, and left to get dressed. As I put the robe on, I shivered. What if I ran into Hunter and she was dating someone else? But I wouldn't remember her. Would I?
I was collected and sent to the riverside.
"When you step in, let your memories go. If you have any memories left, it will affect your new life."
I don't know who said that, but I did as they said. I stepped into the milky white water, and I could feel my memories slipping away. I focused on Hunter until that memory slipped away. By that point, I was stepping into my new life.
Luke's POV: (Luke is the new life Mark was reborn into)
My name was Luke. Luke Johnson. I was 16. I had dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. My skin was slightly tanned. Looking at my surroundings, I saw I was in a car. Somebody was taking a video. I felt tired, like I had just woken up.
I wonder how long I had been asleep.
A/N: That's it for this chapter.
