CHAPTER 1______________________________________________________________________________________________
It all started 4 days ago. I was minding my own business, looking at the clock with Greek letters instead of numbers. I think it was around 4:20:20. The arrows were all on the Δ, for the Greek letter Delta. I noticed the letter slowly glowing blue until, next thing I knew, my head hit the floor and the last thing I saw before fainting was the Δ.
Oh wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. My name is Perseus O. Saydun. I know, weird name, huh? People make jokes about how, if I used the initial for my first name, it would sound like Poseidon. Well, I like Poseidon, he's really nice, y'know. But, I'd rather stick with Hades. He's the god of the underworld.
Anyway, when I woke up after the whole fainting thing, I was in a really white hall with various vases. I saw a group of adults around me. "Are you all right, Perseus?" they all said simultaneously. "W-where am I?" I asked them. "Why, are you daft? You're in Olympus, home of the Olympians!"
"W-what? I'm in Greece?" I asked the bearded mean who said it. "No! Far away from Greece, actually. We're not even in Europe!"
"Oh. Well, you said I was in Olympus."
"You are!"
"Yeah, right! and you're Zeus! Hah!"
"I am! Athena's right, you are smart!"
"My dad's a policeman. So just let me go!"
"I did not know Hades was a policeman."
Okay, I was confused. No scratch that I was CONFUSED. "What? Hades ain't my dad you dummy. My dad's name is Alconius M. Saydun," I say to the man. "So, Diana married a mortal. Too bad. She could've gotten immortality if she stayed one more year with Hades as her only husband," he replies.
