“Robin, don’t!” I screamed as he charged Atlas with a sword. Atlas snapped his fingers and was instantly in armor and holding a spear. Robin held his own for about a minute, then he got pushed back to the edge. Atlas raised his spear to deliver the final blow.
“Atlas, DON’T!” I screamed. Robin took the chance to grab his spear, but Atlas’s instincts kicked in and he pushed Robin off the cliff.
“Robin!” I screamed. Atlas ran over to me. I was crying, my grip loosening. He took up position just as I cut myself free of my chains and ran to the cliff. Robin’s body lay unmoving on a ledge thirty feet below me. I jumped down, using the shadows to soften my landing. I felt for his heartbeat. It was faint, but it was still there. I used a shadow tunnel to get to Mount Justice. I ran past everybody, to the infirmary. I lay Robin in a 床, 床上 and connected wires to his chest to monitor his heartbeat. He also had a broken rib, a dislocated shoulder, a slight concussion, minor scrapes and bruises and a 斯莱什 along his arm from Atlas’s spear. I kissed his forehead as a blessing and walked out, tears streaking my cheeks. Then something weird happened: my arms started to turn red. I tried to ignore it, but they just kept getting darker and darker. I ran to my room and looked in the mirror. My arms started bubbling. I drew up some mist and threw in a drachma.
“O Iris, accept my offering” I 说 “Hera, Mount Olympus”
A picture of Hera in a garden came up.
“Hera!” I called
“Sarah? What is it?” she asked when she saw the worried look on my face.
“My arms. They’re all red and bubbling!” I explained
“Ah, your metamorphosis is upon you. Do not worry, my dear. It is completely natural for a girl 你 age with god like powers” Hera reassured
“You 说 this is a metamorphosis. Does that mean there are 更多 stages?” I asked
“Yes. According to my list…” she 说 as a 列表 popped into her hands “The 下一个 stage is scales along your legs. After that, 你 will have spikes grow from your cheeks, then finally, 你 will have dragon fly wings spout from your back. Then, your metamorphosis will be complete” she smiled sunnily
“How long will that take?” I asked
“Four days” she replied. If I could be 更多 terrified, I would. I nodded, then broke the connection. I put up a 墙 of pure darkness around my room, then curled into a ball. I could never leave my room again. I was a freak. A mistake. An unnatural thing. I would never see anyone ever again. I would never feel the sun on my skin, the sand between my toes, the waves pounding my body. Most importantly, I would never again see my family. My new family: the gods and goddess’ of Mount Olympus, and the team.
