Chapter 4 - Going Up to Earth
After the dream, I was shaken up. I thought I could hear AD's voice from above again.
"When you truly wake up, follow the bones. It will lead you to chaos."
It stayed in my mind for a while.
2 months later
Nine year old Andromeda was learning math. Well, she was learning 13 year old math. So that is why Archimedes taught her. Hades had an automaton snap its fingers every 5 seconds to keep the ghostly Greek ADHD teacher from getting distracted.
"What is the formula for a circle's area?" Andromeda asked, searching her memories.
"DIDN'T I ALREADY TELL YOU? PIZZA PIZZA PI! The formula is pi*r^2. Otherwise known as pi times r squared," Archimedes shouted gleefully, bouncing around the table.
The ghosts started playing the blame game when there was a son of Athena who discovered that somebody decided to give Archimedes a HUGE bag of lollipops.
"Quiet down. If you don't I'll stuff your mouths with ghost chili," I smirked, looking at the array of open mouths.
There was that son of Athena at it again. "Ghost probably means in the upper world right now scary. People are always afraid of ghosts. Well, I guess we don't want that" he declared, raising his voice.
That was the moment Hades chose to walk in.
"Who gave the lollipops? Boo to them! I have decided that Andromeda shall have a trip to the world above once every year!" Hades proclaimed, sighing at the groaning and pleading ghosts. Snapping his fingers, all fell quiet. "Now is the time for her to go to the mortal world."
And so I followed him.
"Bye Andromeda. And remember, go to Long Island sound, and whisper into Chirons ear. He'll know. Then, you can explore Virginia, California, and Florida. Monsters have been sighted around those areas, and remember - use River. River will get rid of the monsters easy and fast. And don't try to summon a bone. Or I will zap you into Tartarus. Out by 5 o' clock", Hades reminded me.
Groaning, I looked at my backpack. Some water. Good. If I had water, I wouldn't have to use River that much. Staying concealed is going to be hard, but I'll rock their world. Now who is going to send things to Tartarus?
"Gods of Olympus, don't you know the rules?" "Hey, quit pushing me around"
The bus up to earth was being noisy. Andromeda sighed and rested her chin in her hands. 'When will I reach earth?'
A/N: I'm not sure what to put here; I guess I could say sorry for making Andromeda a Mary Sue. If I am going to be honest here, this is one of my worst stories not only in terms of a protagonist but also plot progression. It's the longest but has the most filler.
