Atlanta could bear no more she turned around and started to walk into the bush.
"Where to now?" she said to her self.
She stood arms crossed, looking around herself only to see loneliness.
"You can follow me"
She turned around. It was Hermes.
"What are you doing here, and why can you see me?" she asked
"Along with being messenger of the gods, one of the forgotten roles that I also play is, I escort the dead to their final resting place"
"Oh my god" she said chocking back tears "I knew it, I'm really dead aren't I? This isn't some sick twisted dream, is it?" she fell to her knees, now the tears started rolling town her translucent face.
"Come on Atlanta, it's time to go" he said in a soft soothing tone as he slowly helped her up.
She began to float, then fly, she thought not to let go, but then realised, what could happen, but she thought better of it.
"If it helps, I can promise you that the others won't give up no matter what." He said, a gentle smile across his face, she looked into it feeling a little better but not much.
They approached a cave, she knew what it was, the entrance to the underworld. A lump formed in the back of her throat, she knew once she passed through the gates of Hades, her fate was sealed.
"We'll have to wait, you don't have a coin yet, it'll only take a sec" he interrupted the silence.
Five minuets passed, the coin popped into her mouth.
"I guess this is it. I'm sorry you had to, well go like this, I'll miss you, and so will everyone else, you know that right?" he said
She could see him holding back tears.
"Thank you, for everything, could you please tell them all to never stop fighting and to never give up, and tell A..., never mind, tell them they can do it" Why couldn't see say and tell Archie that I love him those words she's wanted to say for so long, even now, when she had nothing to lose, she was at Charon's boat and still she couldn't bare to say those words. What was she afraid of?
"You know, that if you have anything to say, now is when to say it." He said.
She nodded. They embraced, and she turned away from him, pain in her lungs every time she gasped, she knowing these where her last steps on earth, and stared into the eyes of the fairy man, the proud woman she was, showing little fear, even though her heart was full of it.
"To the elysian fields then?" The ferry man asked
"Sorry?" she answered back
"The land of fallen heroes, their final destination" He replied
"I guess, if that's where I'm meant to go" she answered once more.
***********
As they pulled into the elysian fields she thanked Charon and took her first step into the after life. Their was a rock a couple feet away, she walked towards it then sat. She cried, it was probably her first real cry in a long time, her memories flashed through her mind. She saw her parents, her family,...her friends, Archie. She'd had so many fun times with him and the gang, how could this have happened?
"New arrival?" A voice came from behind her
"Yah" she didn't bother to turn her head to look at him
"Grieving doesn't make it any better" he told her
"What makes you the..." She couldn't believe what she saw, she wiped the tears from her eyes. "Archie?"
"Nope, my name's Achilles" he extended his hand
She accepted it. It was amazing, he looked exactly like Archie without the purple hair.
"The fields are really nice when you make them" he said letting go of her hand
"What do you mean" she looked puzzled
"When you accept the state of being dead, you can enjoy the beauty around you" he said in a more cheerful tone
"I don't see beauty, I see death destruction, horror, memories past, friends lost,...things that should have been done" more tears came down her face as the last words came out. Archie, I'm sorry, I should have told you
Achilles wiped of her tears with a tissue from his pocket
"You have to realize that there is no way back before anything can be right again" He sounded reassuringly
"I don't believe that, there is a way I know it" with it she got up, wiped the remaining tears off her face and walked away, looking, searching for a flaw in a prison that has held the dead for more 5 millennia
