Walking towards the forest, I recalled everything about my day. Listening to Chiron talk about the myths and the gods at an old ancient museum wasn't all that interesting. Especially when you've heard them all. Thinking back, I remembered my mom. . .

Racing through the studio suit, I crawled up onto the couch and sat on a beautiful lady's lap, holding an old book that read Perseus on it. The woman was beautiful. She held long dirty blonde hair and sparkly blue eyes. My mom was a movie star. Aside from seeing her on tv, I also had a few chances of going to Hollywood, where I would meet famous tv kids, and have conversations on their upcoming films.

"Read me this one!" I said eagerly, with a smile of admiration. My mom, took the book and smiled. Opening it up, she laughed. "I read you this one last night." She said soothingly. "How could you bare hearing the same story again?" She asked.

Shrugging, I gazed at the ground unsure of the answer. "I don't know!" The younger me said. "I just like Perseus! He's the son of Zeus, the strongest of gods, he's the king!" I replied. "Perseus is a prince!"
Smiling, my mom hugged me. "That's right, like you're mine."

Flipping the pages, my mother began reading the story. We got through most of the story, she told the background, the moment Perseus' mom got engadged and the beginning of his quest. By the time, she started talking about the Grey sisters, I perked up.

"This is the best part!" I proclaimed eagerly.
"Of course," She said. As she continued reading, she told of the dangers, Perseus would foretake. Eventually, Perseus made it out of the sister's lair, to end up being guided by his half-siblings, Athena and Hermes.Who aided him in weaponry and safe travels. Hermes handed him a lusterous shield, while Athena gave him a blade.

"Medusa!" I cheered.
"Yes." My mom replied. "With a swift whirl, a snake-like creature traced through the ruined pillars. Slowly Perseus, observed his surroundings. With his shield out in front, he carefully skulked forward." She read.

"What happens next, don't stop there!" I urged her onward.
"Perseus had heeded the words of the Grey sisters. He knew that if he were to change the outcome he had to do the out of the box thing. Banging his shield against the pillars, he drew out the serpentine. "

In a flash, the book speed up, she read it with diction and deadication, almost like this one story was the only one she liked the best. When she finished I smiled. I was happy, Perseus had a happy ending and the Princess got a chance to live.

"Why are you smiling?" My mom teased.
"Because everytime you read it, Perseus has a better ending."
"You think?" She smiled, hugging me tighter.
"Yea!" I laughed. "But you also seem sad this time. Why?"

Gazing at the forest, I sighed. I was now suited up for battle and ready for battle. Pulling out a neckalace with eight beads on it, I kissed the center one and took a deep breath.

"Where are you now, mom?" With a faded comment, I walked into the forest to meet up with the others.
