I lost grip and fell off the basket. Han was near the top but I would probably die unless I was saved. I closed my eyes and spread my arms. Instead of the instant death, I felt someone's arm catch me. I opened my eyes and saw the scary guy who was chasing me. I got off and ran away but instead of throwing his weapon, he was chasing me with a wide grin on his face. Behind him was the child with an arrow. He probably hit the scary guy while he was trying to kill me and he ended up saving me instead. "Hey, how do I leave this island?" I asked slowing down.
"You have to knock out Aphrodite!" he yelled running faster. I sped back up and realised who ever Pearl was talking to was probably her. However, there was another question, why was there a child's cry.
I began to piece together my memories. I remembered that at the orphanage there was the noises in the bedroom and Pearl kept saying she couldn't run much so I came to the conclusion that she was pregnant. But there was a huge problem. It'd been way more than nine months since the noises so why did it take so long. I put off my theories and looked back to the statue. Han was just over the ledge. "Hey, can you take me up there" I said stopping.
"Anything for you, ummn what's your name?" he asked picking me up.
"Nobody" I said as he flung me up. I landed in the basket and they were still there. Han drew his sword and charged at her but was stopped by an invisible wall. "I will not allow you to damage my perfect face" she said pushing her arm forwards. Han was shoved back onto the wood and began getting squashed. I threw my knife and she changed where her walls were. I was slammed into the wood and struggled back up. I realised Pearl was holding the child who was still crying.
I climbed up the edge of the basket and shouted, "Hey, could you come up here". The scary guy jumped while shouting, "My name is Deimos, what do you wish for me to do?". He arrived on the basket and I said, "Take her down safely, she has a kid so be extremely careful". They went away and I looked back at Aphrodite. "Who are you?" she asked pushing her hand forwards in the air. "The great hero, Taragmenos!" I yelled dodging wherever the barrier was. I was still hit by the barrier and fell to the floor. "I will once again repeat, you shall not damage my beautiful face!" she yelled pushing Han away. "You're lucky I already have barriers in place" she said gasping for air.
"I just realised, you really do have a beautiful face, take my reflective knife to admire it" I said sliding my knife through the water. She was obviously very narcissistic so maybe this would work. "Han, go" I whispered. He picked up his sword and stumbled towards her while she was busy admiring herself. He thrusted his sword into her stomach, making her collapse. "Damn you Taragmenos and Han, you shall soon be met by the truth!" she said bleeding out. The water was tainted red and now the island was filled with a horrible stench. I fell back down and blacked out.
I awoke on the boat. Above me was Deimos. "Hey, go swim, I'll marry you" I croaked. He jumped in and I heard screams. I got up and limped out of my room. I heard Han and Pearl's voices talking so I decided to stay where I was. The next destination was where I'd find my mom. We'd only spent a day there so the tower still hadn't been rebuilt. I looked into the water and could still see Deimos dying. He wasn't human so it was ok to kill him. I got up and went to get food. The boat had less people since most of them decided to stay at the island's hotel which was now going to be deserted since two of the God's there were dead, one of them being Aphrodite. That however left me in a tight spot. I'd helped Artemis but killed Aphrodite and Deimos so was I a hero or villain to the Gods.
I got up and went up to the highest floor to look at the sunset. In the distance, I could see the island my mother was at. I went over to the captains room and changed the boat's direction and went to the left. The guards may have spotted us so I couldn't put the boat on dock. Emotions rushed as we came closer. I'd finally meet my mom.
