So today is the 3rd day of the Quest.. and today we're off to the Underworld.
Fun.
I woke up to the sound of a crunch crunch of a tin can. I sat up straight and found that Connor was chewing on a empty Coca-Cola can. He stopped chewing when he saw that i was awake and grinned at me. I just giggled. Satyrs are so weird.

So Connor and I talked for a bit about random stuff, and the Underworld and other Greek Mythology stuff until the others woke up. Phelia woke up after me, and then Alannis was last to wake.
So we packed up our stuff and headed to the Underworld, whose entrance wasn't far from the Santa Monica beach. On the way Alannis' hair changed color- and then a peacock shown bright over her head! Her dad was never Poseidon; her mom was Hera!. Wat the heck?!?!! She looked extremely confused, and i would be too. Then how the heck did she go to Poseidon's realm while underwater for 2 days and didn't pop unter the pressure or suffocate?!?! Well, we got more questions when we reach Olympus, then. But now we're going to the Underworld, so that'll have to wait.

We reached the DOA Recording Records, where Charon would take us across the River Styx and into the Underworld. Phelia walked straight up to him, Connor, Alannis, and I closely behind her, and with all those sad spirit eyes on us. For those spirits could not pay Charon to pass, so they will wait here forever, lest they get payment.
"Hey dude," Phelia said confindently, "can you take us across the River Styx?"
Charon just looked at her, seemed to know who she was, and nodded. Phelia grinned and gestured to follow her as she followed Charon.
So across the River we went, and it smelled nasty! Like acid burning in a witch's cauldron mixed with dead rats and cow poop.
Then we visited Cerberus, and that's when Connor and Alannis got really freaked out. Phelia was completely at ease. I didn't get freaked out until we passed the entrance to Tartarus on our way to Hades' palace. A chill went up my spine and I heard an angry, chilled voice. From the look on Connor and Alannis' faces, they heard it too. Phelia didn't look too troubled, she just smiled encouragely and lead us through Persephones' Garden and into Hades' palace.
We reached the throne room and there sat Hades. Phelia bowed to him, and so we did the same. Hades smiled, then ran and hugged Phelia tightly. I smiled to myself. The look on her face was pure joy.
As Hades backed out of the hug, that joy on Phelia's face faded quickly as she caught sight of the woman-spirit who stood at Hades' throne.
Phelia's face drained of the pale skin tone it had, and her eyes filled with sadness.
I glanced between her and the woman, and then it hit me.
That woman was Phelia's birth mother.
The. Weirdest. Day. Ever.
