Lydia's POV

Plummeting to my death, I could already picture my gravestone.

R.I.P. Lydia Ramirez

1996-2009

Sister, daughter, mother (Don't ask),

father (Definitely don't ask),

Brother, and nephew. (I have a weird life...)

For one second, all I saw was white. Then I could see what looked like... Wait, am I in hell?

"Get up girly girl!" I heard someone shout.

I looked up and saw a pale man wearing a black cloak. "Who are you?" I screamed as he took of the hood, revealing a brown weathered skull radiating with black energy.

"Child, fear not, I am Charon, ferryman of the river Styx."

"Oh," I said uneasily. "Hi Karen!"

"My name is not Karen young godling, do you need me to spell it out for you?"

He made his words loud and choppy, spit flying out at every sound. Which is weird, considering that most skeletons can't spit.

"Kuh-air-on! Charon! C-H-A-R-O-N!"

"OK Kuhairon."

He glared. "Would you rather take EZ death or the normal way?"

"The normal way please."

"Got any money?"

"Um... Sure?" I replied.

He held open his right hand. "But, this is my shopping money!"

"If you want to get across, give me some money."

"Okay," I said. "Rhinestones, diamonds, jewels, or cash."

I took a thick wad of twenty dollar bills out of my pocket. "Here." I said firmly.

He burnt the green paper in his hand. "I only except drachmas."

"Drokmuhs?"

"Drachmas. The currency of the gods."

"Oh, those coins Xavin gave me?"

"Who is this Xavin you speak of?"

"You know, half-horse half-human hybrid."

"A centaur?" he asked in a loud voice. "If so, give me those coins."

I took out the golden coins and gave them to Karen. He pointed to the boat thing. I got in it and he paddled across the black river. "This boat is weirdly empty." I said, slowing my words as I looked at my transparent skin.

"Yes, it's normally full."

As we made it to the two lines I chose the way with a big jumble of ghosts. This going to be a long night. Wait, how much time has passed.

(***)

As I finally passed (It was like a month later), I walked up this ginormous Greek looking building.

I walked inside and sat. Three men were sitting at golden thrones, one looking not that older than me. The young one in the middle stared at me. "I vote Asphodel for her selfless act, but also because her selfish attitude."

"I vote punishment." the right one boomed.

"I vote punishment too, Mr. di Angelo."

"So it is. Lydia Aquillo Ramirez, I, Nico di Angelo, ghost king, damn you to eternal punishment!"

What? I just jumped off a bridge to save my friend! Why are they punishing me?!

He was about hit his hammer thingy when a piercing voice spoke up. "I object to your conclusion."

"Askilyoxus, haven't we told you enough times that you can't object to random trials?"

"But, this isn't random. Doesn't my sister deserve Elysium? Maybe even rebirth?"

"Okay, Mr. Ramirez, we will give her a year in Elysium and then she shall gain rebirth."

I smiled, even though I'm uncertain what Elysium and Asphodel are. I shouted up to the heavens, where my supposed father and his wife, my adoptive sister's mother lived. "Thank you Hephaestus and Aphrodite!" Hah, me and Emma are step-sisters.

I walked to a large gate. It was golden and covered with millions of precious jewels.

I laughed. I noticed something, I had a brother. "I hope Emma won't be that sad, that I sent you to Elysium." Drake said behind me as the gate opened

The weird Greek dude dress he was wearing changed. He was now wearing an orange t-shirt with a pegasus on it. He said, "Sorry you didn't make it to camp, but, Avaline and Xavin are praying."

"They are?"

My life sucks. I just met my twin brother, I've saw him at the house a few months ago with two other boys, his friends Daniel and Drake.

He nodded. He grabbed me by the shoulders. He was strangely taller than me, with a darker tan, and turquoise eyes like stilettos (color/knife)

"Lydia, when you go in there, you will forget about everything. We might as well catch up while we can."

He pulled an iPhone 5 out of his pocket, the same color as mine, gold.

He was calling someone. When they answered the phone, his eyes turned a misty shade of gray. "Decus Regina venietis."

Out of nowhere, Emma appeared in a swirl of gray. She glanced at him then to me. "Lydia!"

She ran to me and gave me a hug.

"Wait, Lydia, before you go, let me do something."

He opened my palm. He said some word in a language that sounded fake. "Ava aka roma to lita akilla."

A mark appeared in my hand. Wonder what it means. "It means infinity. It will follow you in your lives. Just say these words and you will summon me. Or Victoria, depending on which life you're in...

Yay! So cheerful, right! Thanks so much to Drake son of Hephaesteus for guest writing this chapter! Its really good. So, please review this! I'm momentarily done with all my Lydia stuff and I'll go merge the others, including Xavin and Avaline. Oh, Im actually putting up the poll now, so please go vote! Remember to review.
