Not to mention save her mother, now taken captive by a giant, can she do this with the help of her siblings and estranged father? Meanwhile her life is falling apart at seams?

2. Chapter 2

I laid down in my bed and went to sleep, I thought about the depths of the underworld and felt at home. Then I saw a monster, I saw my mom, I tried to scream towards her to no avail. She can't, I refuse for her to be taken away. Whatever monster dare threaten my mother will not be forgiven. I tried to run after them, to kill the monster, but I was immobile.

I woke up in sweat and felt my sister's eyes on me. "So princess," said the one who I assume is the counselor by how the others treat her. "I hope you had a good night's rest, because the games are tonight." I nodded and got out of bed, and summoned some skeletons. "These are the only backups I need."

My sister squinted their eyes and advertised them away from on top of me. They were faking it, if I took the bait I would be a laughing stalk, so I didn't. "Oh, by the way, sister, our mom's in trouble." Then I ran. The faster the games are over, the faster I can help my mom.

My sisters were obviously shocked and confused at this news, but they brought extra weapons, so I gave the bows to my skeletons and laid down in our chariot. They obviously didn't like me sleeping on the job, but they couldn't manage to wake me up. Probably because I wasn't fully asleep. I handed them weapons, when theirs became useless. They didn't complain, though I knew their thoughts were judging and slightly explicit in some.

I caught a flying helmet, which was no longer flying when it landed in the chariot, and almost fell out. It seemed like the sigil part of the flag we were rushing towards. It was stained with blood. I proceeded to give the armour to someone else at the slight grumbles of my siblings for me grabbing their spoils. I proceeded to go to sleep. This wasn't hard with the thump of the pegasus hooves, and later wings.

The dream happened again, but this time I heard her scream, I saw her blood. I tried to help, but that did nothing, I was still immobile. I saw the surroundings better, we were in a smelly, damp, and practically lightless cave, the only source of light was mom's faint glow. Her captor was a giant, one I didn't recognize, I told myself, as soon as I evaporate that, thing, it will remain in Tartarus.
