Chapter 2 The challenge

After he and Eliz entered the portal, they were sent into a forest. Then a message appeared from thin air “You shall use the weapons you’ve chosen to complete the quest” Eliz reads “You’ll have to hunt down a pack of silver wolves. Good luck young soldiers, you’ll need it”. Then the letters disappeared, and their backpack was filled with potions. Then the hunt is on. “Okay, Silver wolves are references to Artemis” Eliz said “Who is Artemis?” he asked, “She’s a Greek god of the moon, however she always has a pack of Silver coated wolves beside her” Eliz explains “Then what are we--” he said but then he got interrupted by a Silver wolf “Ahhhhhhhhhhh, run!” he shouted. So the chase began. He and Eliz ran through the woods until they reached a river, “I think we’ve shaken them off” he said but then the river began to rise up and form a shape “What the--” but the river formed a shape already, it’s a human shape mixed with a bull. “Minotaur?” Eliz said with fear “I shall say no young lady” The body said “I’m the god of the river, Achelous” after that it was silent, “Wait wait wait wait, we are in the world of Greek gods now?” he asked “Maybe...due to my calculations the kingdom’s mage must send us into another realm, or in other words he sent us into the world of Greek mythology” Eliz explained “Great” he sarcastically said “You shall not worry” Achelous said “I’ll guide you to the Silver wolf’s base”. So they walked along the river with Achelous, then he noticed the horns of Achelous. “Why do you have only one horn?” he asked “Well, I can tell you if you want” Achelous said “Sure” Eliz said “A long long time ago, since Achilles was alive, I was granted Deianira the princess of Calydon, but then Achilles came and fought for Deianira, I lost, Deianira ran off with Achelous and left me alone” when Achelous finished no one spoke “But it didn’t tell how you have only one horn” Eliz finally broke the silent “During the fight Achilles broke one of my horn and my horn became the world’s first Cornucopia” Achelous said “Really? I’m so sor--” he was rudely interrupted again with a Silver wolf but Achelous just snapped his finger and the wolf dissolved into water vapor. “Phew, thanks” he said “You’re welcome” Achelous said “We are close to the Silver wolf’s base be careful”, so they walked along a big rock then what they saw was shocking, down there it was a whole kingdom “What are we supposed to do now?” he asked “The task said that we have to hunt down a pack of Silver wolves, but this is a whole kingdom!” before their eyes a pack of Silver wolves came through a rock and howled. Every wolf bowed down, “I think we have to hunt that pack” Eliz said “Clearly” he said but then Achelous said “I can help you” Eliz asked “How?” so Achelous pulled them together and explained the plan. After the discussion he jumped down into the kingdom “Whoo-hoo” he shouted “This is fun”, then Achelous snapped his finger, which made him disappear and appear on the ground again. Then Eliz jumped down too, while in the airborne stage Eliz screamed and appeared again on the ground next to Dawn. They were surrounded, wolves came from everywhere, but then Achelous shouted out “NOW!” and Eliz threw a green potion into the air, as soon as the potion touched the ground Achelous snapped his fingers to make Eliz and Dawn come back. When they looked down they were stunned, down there was chaos, there was fire everywhere even on water “What in hades did you make me throw?” Eliz asked then she gasped “You gave me a Greek fire?” Achelous smiles and said “Yes, dear” then a portal appeared “Well, it seems like you’ve completed your mission” Achelous said “It’s time for you to go” Eliz hugged Achelous “This was a great journey, I will never forget you” then Dawn said “I agree” Achelous spread his hand to the portal “Farewell, my friend” Achelous said, then they both jumped into the portal.
