One day Shardsong wanted to go out on one of her food runs to feed them both, but before she could take off she collapsed in front of the entertains. "Mom are you OK?" Metalus screams running towards her, "I'll be fine I just need some rest" she says softly. Metalus looks at her and all the scars that she has, and never remember how she got them only that when she sometimes came back from the scavenge she would have them. "Mom you should really let me go get food this time. You trained me to do that, right?", Shardsong cranes her head over to him "But your powers aren't ready for this" She points out, Metalus lowers his head knowing that every time he tried to use his earth element there was something wrong, shape, size, speed. "I know, mom, but you're in no condition to do this today". she then seems to contemplate her thoughts. "OK" She says softly trying to not say it to loud, "Yeah!" Metalus shouts in pure excitement. "BUT be careful my dear" Shardsong stops him, "OK, OK. I'll be quick" as he darts out and take to the skies. "OH dear Donnchadh, look at our son and how he has grown" she Sadly whimper.

"Oww, Watch it will ya" The voice of someone that Metalus does not recognize. "Haay, I never seen you before?" he asks.

Deep into the first story of “The Oresteia,'; better known as “Agamemnon,'; Cassandra, who has been cursed by Apollo to be a seer who will never be believed, envisions the death of Agamemnon and herself. It is in this vision that she sees an avenger who will come about and bring justice to the murdered victims, “ We will die, but not without some honor from the gods. There will come another to avenge us, born to kill his mother, born his father’s champion. The gods have sworn a monumental oath: as his father lies upon the ground he draws him home with power like a prayer.'; ( Aeschylus. The Oresteia U.S.A.: Penguin, 1975.) This vision proves to be very important when speaking about the innocence of Orestes and his heroism as well. Before the incident even takes place, we know that the gods have destined Orestes to avenge his father’s death. During this period of time, when the gods were on your side, you were doing the right thing! Another way to prove Orestes innocence is through the god of sun, song, and prophecy, better known as Apollo.

Tien Minh and I walked for a while and talked about different things until we heard a loud sound and people screaming in the distance. As we stood there, I wondered who those screams came from. Was it my mother? The other women and children working in the rice field? Out of fear, I ran back toward the village leaving Tien Minh behind. Once I neared the village, I noticed it was completely destroyed by some sort of explosion. The huts were no longer standing but rather deracinated from the ground below them and some villagers laid unconscious, or dead, while others huddled together in disbelief. Suddenly, another explosion occurred only a short distance away from me. I fell to the ground. My ears were ringing from the sound of what I then realized was a bomb. When I regained my senses, I saw that the villagers were running past me in a frantic fashion. Out of panic, I tried to run, but my entire body was covered in a thick, sticky substance that caused my skin to burn profusely. Because I couldn’t endure the pain, I stripped off my cotton shorts and tank top and began running. Fear and panic caused me to run faster, fast enough to where I caught up to Tien Minh who was a short distance ahead of me. As I ran, I thought of the change of clothes I wished I had. Then I thought of my mother. I told her I’d be back, but I wasn’t sure that I

Satsuki goes on a combined vacation and work trip in Thailand and has a very relatable guide with whom she becomes very close. After several days together, her guide, Nimit, recognized that Satsuki had issues that she had not been addressing. Nimit took Satsuki to a spiritual guide, who uncovered unresolved issues with her old boyfriend. The spiritual guide told Nimit that Satsuki had such a strong hatred for her boyfriend, that she wished he died in the earthquake. Nimit told Satsuki,“‘The man is not dead, he did not receive a scratch. It may not be what you wanted, but it was actually very lucky for you that he was not hurt’”(86). Nimit is telling Satsuki that she should let go of her anger that she’s kept inside of her for years. His solution for her getting rid of her angst is, ‘“The stone and its inscriptions are old, old things. You have been living with them inside you for a very long time. You must get rid of the stone ”’(85). The stone stands for all of the hatred that she has been holding onto. Learning this enables Satsuki to open up and finally share her deepest secrets. ‘“I have a secret I’ve never told anyone. But I’d like to tell it to you now”’(88). Without the help of Nimit, Satsuki would still be holding onto grudges that were weighing her down like a
Numerous lively heroes ventured into Persephone’s clutches with the hopes of beating death, yet she explains that despite their god-like strength they too will die. Two such heroes were Theseus and Pirithous. When Theseus and Pirithous attempted to kidnap the Queen of the Underworld she enticed them to sit in the chair of forgetfulness where their flesh fused to the cushions and refused to relinquish them (Taylor 268). Persephone appears many times to offer food, drink, or rest to weary heroes in the underworld in order to trap them there forever in the same manner that Hades tricked her (Taylor, 268). Because of Persephone and Hades’ antics many people hated them as gods, but Persephone’s cruelty serves as a reminder that while death is necessary it is not always kind. In the same manner that Persephone accepted her fate, mortals must also accept their own imminent

He was almost as big as me, but when I knelt down to scold him, accumulated anger in my eyes, I couldn’t stop myself. I wrapped my hands around his neck as he tried to run away and for a second all I saw was terror before I watched life drain out of his body.
