Electra Stonebrook’s fate was destined before she was even born. As the first born she would go on a long journey to destroy the Darkness. She had super strength and this was apparent when she beat every boy in the kingdom in hand to hand combat. She also was very cunning and could outwit all of her enemies in very unconventional ways. She was also faster than the Kingdom’s best racing horse. Her beauty was also known far and wide throughout the kingdom, with her lucid blue eyes, long dark brown hair, and olive skin tone. She was alone with her mother as long as she knew, her father had died on the journey before she was born. Her mother constantly worried about her, for Electra had lead many battles against neighboring kingdoms. She had lead…show more content… She heard a whoosh and still feeling timid, looked down into the water and was greeted with two blinking eyes. A god emerged from the ocean and inquired, “I am Phorcy, a sea god, where are you journeying to?” She replied, “I am going to defeat the Darkness.” Phorcys’ face contorted with rage and said, “You will never defeat the Darkness it will reign forever!” He whistled and Ketea, the two sea monsters, appeared looking menacing.

He was on the same ship Electra was now on when he saw an island to stop and rest.

Electra remembered her mom sobbing hysterically and fleeing to her chamber. She did not want her mom to suffer through another death, this gave her the motivation to stay alive. Electra took her hunting knife and cut off Phorcys’ arm, as he yelled in pain, she grabbed the white waterproof bag with supplies and jumped into the water and swam towards a small island.

You might gain experience for your battle against the Darkness?” Electra tried not to let it bother her that Pandora’s sentences sounded like questions. “I suppose we could explore, but only for a little while.” Pandora’s face lit up and she grabbed Electra in a hug. “This will be so fun? Thank you for agreeing?” Electra again attempted to hide her annoyance, she changed the subject. “So, what are you the goddess of anyway?” Pandora responded, “I am the Goddess of Curiosity?” Electra said internally, “Well that makes sense.” The boat approached the island and the girls walked onto shore. They went to the entrance of the Underworld and Charon, the ferryman, told the girls to come aboard the ship for a token. Pandora pulled one out of her pocket and handed it over happily. Shades, dead souls of humans, boarded the boat as well, to be taken to the Underworld as their final dwelling place. When they reached the other side the girls stepped off the boat and followed the shades. The Underworld had lava pits everywhere and fire shot through the ground at unexpected times.
