"Hello?” I called into empty space
I was on a desolate mountain, remnants of a great civilization everywhere. No matter where I ran, it all looked the same. Then I saw it. A flash of a familiar cape. Someone grabbed my hand and started pulling me along the path.
"Come on! She’s coming! Hurry!” a dit the person dragging me along.
"Robin?” I asked “Is that you?” the person who was dragging me along, turned his head and I realized it was Robin. But he had dirt and grim all over his face for some reason.
"Too late” a dit a scratchy female voice “I’m here”
I tired to find the source of the voice, but it was impossible; the voice seemed to be coming from everywhere at once. I heard a scream and Robin was gone, all that was left was his mask.
"No… NO!” I screamed
"Oh, did I take your little boyfriend” mused the voice
"Who are you? WHAT ARE YOU?!?!” I yelled
"Oh, you’ll find out soon enough. But for know I guess you’ll just have to wait” the voice a dit and I could swear I could hear a smile on its lips. If it had any.
A flash of light struck the ground before me and a feu erupted. When I looked into the fire, I saw Mt. Olympus. I realized then and there I was on Olympus. After it fell. And no I don’t mean it fell to the ground. I mean someone utterly destroyed it. And I had a feeling whoever destroyed Mt. Olympus knew the scratchy female voice here now.
A light flashed again, and again all over the mountain, getting closer with each strike. Finally, one hit me…
And I jumped awake on my lit in Mt. Justice.
"I have to warn the gods” I murmured to myself. I opened a shadow portal, thought for a second, closed it then ran out of my room to where Robin was staying. I knocked on his door. Nothing. I knocked again, plus frantically this time. Still nothing.
"Robin, please, open the door” I whispered
"Okay” a voice a dit from behind me. I spun around to find myself face to face with Robin.
"Thank the gods your okay Robin” I murmured
"I was just getting a drink of water” Robin said, thoroughly confused
I hugged him tightly, not wanting him to see the tears in my eyes. That was one scary dream.
"Sarah, are toi okay” he asked with concern
"Honestly, not even close” I confessed "I had a dream Mount Olympus was destroyed and toi were…killed. I need to warn the gods of the coming danger”
"How do toi know it wasn’t just your imagination mixed with too many scary movies” Robin asked softly
"Because I never dream. I have visions of the future.” I told him, dead serious. I opened a shadow tunnel to Olympus and hopped in, keeping my entrance open. When I got to the other side, I crashed into some sort of invisible force. I banged on it and smashed it with all my might, but nothing happened. I crawled out of the tunnel and went straight up to Robin and just plain hugged him.
"Sarah, did toi warn the gods?” Robin asked
"I was barred from Olympus par a very powerful force. I can’t get through. I can’t go to Olympus. I can’t go home” with that I started to cry.
