Vai a frente strela caida

Across me was another man with a golden horse mask. "What do you have to tell Artemis?" he asked. "Nothing, she just wanted to know where Apollo was and he's here so, how do I leave" I said walking past me. He raised his hand and blocked me, "There's no exit for now, you'll have to wait for a week since it's nearing conclusion also, how did you get here?"

"Wait, there's no exit" I said. I knew I wasn't gonna die before but this could ruin all of my plans. "Yes, that's exactly what I said" he said.

"Then can I help you, I'm a hero!" I yelled. Though I couldn't see his face, I could tell that he was confused. "S-sure I guess" he said walking off, "Come with me".

We reached the construction site and there was heavy machinery around. "So, can you carry materials here" said the horseman. I nodded but I probably couldn't carry that. He took me to the production area and I took the smallest hunk of metal which was still big. The machine was a huge capsule with little boxes inside connected to the machine. I dragged the metal through the ground. If I didn't work out then this would be impossible for me. It took me about fifteen minutes to transport the metal back. I needed to get stronger somehow but for my age, this was basically the limit.

The day went by and I transported about fifty. It took me slightly less time then before by one minute since I timed myself. I had to sleep in a little shed with five other people in their thirties which agitated me slightly since I usually slept alone. The next morning came and I had to carry a different mineral I'd never seen before. It was even heavier than metal and it took me twenty minutes to transport the mineral and by the end of the day, I transported thirty and increased my time by a minute. "Keep going hero" said Aethon who was the golden mask guy. There were three others who had clothes with different markings there but I still hadn't met Apollo.

The next day came and I was back to carrying metal. It was still metal but I managed to transport them in eight minutes which was way faster. My muscles looked a bit too big for my height since I was fourteen but at least I was strong now. The others were still faster than me by two minutes but by the end of the day I had caught up to them. I slept earlier to balance out the work with my health and ate a bit more since they paid me for my work. There were four more days left if the work continued at this rate which meant I had to speed up. I surpassed my limits so it was surely possible. As I finished transporting the materials, Aethon said, "Apollo wants to see you".

I was escorted towards the castle which was basically a pyramid. I entered the room at the top and across me was Apollo. He looked exactly like the statue and was sat proudly on the golden throne with a sun behind him. "Hello Taragmenos" he said, "I thank you for caring for me in the orphanage after the curse was placed on me and telling me about my sister and I shall give you a reward but where is my sister?".

"She's in an underground kingdom" I said.

"Oh ok anyways, what do you wish for?".

"I want to know where the eye is" I said. His eyes widened and he sighed then looked at me confused. "Why do you wish to know the location of Mati, it only causes destruction and cannot be controlled by human or God".

"I'm not human or God, there's someone I want dead but they have an army bigger than mine so the only way to kill them is by attaining the eye" I said. He still looked confused but nodded. He pointed at Aethon and said, "Take him to the library and give him the eye of Mati".

I was taken to the library but the journey there was silent. "Here, he said handing it to me". I opened it at there it was on the first day. "It is in the underworld". I froze. That was were my father was and my brother too. However, there was an issue, how would I get there. The only way was to ask Han since he could search the underworld. He may have been father's blood child since he had ties to the underworld. That would mean he was a God which I hadn't thought of. He wasn't normal but still. Pearl also knew of some golden apple and the goddess we'd killed seemed to know who she was. What were they.
