As I stand in the doorway to the Underworld and consign my life to a place
shrouded in darkness and mystery, I have to question how I got here.
Three months ago, before I knew Greek gods existed and have been
influencing the fate of our planet all along; before I knew climate change
was the result of Hephaestus’s curse although, let’s face it, people haven’t
been helping any; before I knew said climate change had progressed to such
a point that humanity is about to enter our zombie apocalypse phase; before
I knew Cyclopes are getting revenge on humanity for exiling them from the
earth by creating a weapon that fatally messes with the planet’s magnetism;
before my best friend Brandon, come boyfriend, come fiancé, was stuck
forever in ancient Greece; before my mom became a Pina Colada sipping,
reverse aging amnesiac trying to get her mind back at a hydro spa; I was a
girl with an obsessive crush on rich and captivating Colton Chase.
One day as I was in line for frozen yogurt and daydreaming about
him, I turned around to find him right behind me. It was like I had
manifested him with my obsessive thinking about him. I was so startled I
threw my hand up and said, “On my, God!” as I accidentally hit him with
my arm. That is the moment. That is the moment when everything changed.
I entered the world of lost gods.
◆◆◆
So here I am now, holding hands at the doorway to the Underworld
with my great crush and the dark lord of the Olympians. I know him as
Colton Chase but he is really Hades. I am saying good bye to my life on
Earth for a life at the side of the most mysterious of gods. I didn’t make this
choice for love of him. I made this choice because he somehow needs me in
order to return to his full powers as Hades and that is our hope for defeating
the Cyclopes. He tells me I am his Muse.
As I look at him now, tall and striking, a lost god who has been
found, I think back to how I first knew him. I think of how he made my
heart skip a beat.
My heart now is quiet. It had been beating so rapidly so recently for
Brandon. I know logically that Brandon is lost to me. It may take time for
my heart to accept that and for me to be ready to love another.
“Colton,” I whisper. I am afraid of the unknown. I am afraid of what
I will become.
Colton looks at me searchingly. I can still see the pine trees outside
on the other side of the open door to the Underworld. Before us is darkness
punctuated by bursts of flame. Somewhere beyond is Colton’s palace where
I will truly become his bride once I cross the threshold and live with him. I
wear a wedding veil that Colton will have to lift from my face as we enter
his palace.
