The Quest


The Quest 1 was about Rachel finding her four other sisters. Each of the princesses has a special gift. They can transform into animals or human/animal, they can also use the five elements fire, earth, wind, water and ice. They travelled to Mount Olympus to get the staff of Hermes to save there kingdom, Belapolis, from the tyrant king Odysseus and the gryphons. On there journey they made many friends and a few enemies. There most powerful enemy was Hades, Lord of the Underworld. He despises the five princesses because they wrecked his brilliant plan to take over Olympus. He was going to send the four titans of lava, rock, ice and tornado titan to kill Zeus. But the five princesses recaptured the titans for the three Oracles Brooke, Elyse and Naomi. The princesses succeeded in getting to Mount Olympus and got the staff from Hermes. There friend Jacinta the Pegasus got changed to a human by Hermes as long as she wears her amulet. Each girl has an amulet to use there magic. The six girls went back to Belapolis and killed the king and saved the land. The five princesses ruled over the land and Jacinta became one of there most trusted advisors.
The Quest was written because Mr. Elmore, my English teacher in 2006, wanted us to write an adventure story about ancient Greece where your land was in danger and you had to go on a journey to save it.

Chapter One


It has been two years of peace on Belapolis. No gryphon returned once the princesses took over the throne from the evil king Odysseus. No war, no monsters just peace and quiet. But then all of a sudden like a huge tidal wave fire washed over Belapolis. It destroyed everything in its path. When it reached the castle it stopped and shrank into the shape of a human. His skin was blue, he wore a black toga and the weirdest thing of all was that his hair was a blue flame. It was Hades god of the underworld and keeper of the souls of the dead. Hades shouted,” I warned you that I would return to settle the score. You fools may have beaten me last time but I am far more powerful than you. Farewell your highnesses!”
He lifted up his arms; two gigantic blazing fire balls appeared. He through them at the palace. But just before it hit Elyse woke up. She rubbed her eyes; it was the same dream again. It must mean something bad was going to happen in the future to her friends’ country. Elyse’s blue curtains blew in the breeze and the sun shone high in the sky. She chucked her blankets off and ran out of her room still in her pyjamas. Her two sisters were sitting around the kitchen table. Naomi the eldest of the three wore a brown top, long brown skirt and her long light brown hair was tied into a side ponytail. Brooke was eating a salad sandwich. Brooke had green eyes, shoulder length redish-brown hair and she wore a short green skirt and a light pink top with long dangly sleeves. They turned to Elyse. Elyse said quickly,” I had another vision of the future for Belapolis. It is the same one over and over again. We have to tell them what is going to happen!”
Elyse went back into her room and got changed into an orange dress and put a yellow ribbon as a headband in her hair. She went back to the kitchen and found her sisters ready to go. They were going to Belapolis and stop Elyse’s vision from coming true.
Meanwhile back in Belapolis Sim was practising her archery. She was really good she could get a bull’s eye every time. Sim was nineteen, she was blessed by Poseidon, she could transform in blue dolphin she also had the power of water. Simona was an excellent cook; she had the power of ice. Simona was blessed by the three Gorgon sisters and could turn into a green snake. Danyera lay on the green grass looking at the clouds. Danyera was the same age as Simona, fifteen years old. Danyera had the power of fire and was blessed by Cerberus, meaning she could turn into a greyish-brown wolf. Cerberus guards the gate to the underworld, he is Hades’ pet.

Ashley, a sixteen year old princess, was sitting next to Danyera in the grass. Ashley was drawing Danyera in her sketch book. Ashley was a magnificent drawer and so was Danyera. Ashley was blessed by the goddess Athena, goddess of Athens and war. Ashley has the power of wind and can transform into a brown owl, since the owl is the symbol for Athena. Last but not least of the five princesses is Rachel. Rachel sat on the middle throne in the throne room. Rachel had long brown hair and green eyes. She had the power of earth. She was not Greek like the other princesses but she was Egyptian. So Rachel’s blessing came from an Egyptian goddess Bastet, she was goddess of cats, fertility and she is a protector goddess. Rachel could transform into a black cat. In the throne room there were five golden thrones which the princesses sat on. Each of the thrones had a symbol representing a princess. From left to right it goes Simranjeet with a shell, Simona with a snake, Rachel with a sitting cat, Ashley with a wing and Danyera with three heads of a dog. The symbols were the same as there amulets, there amulets give the princesses there power to transform and there power over the elements. Rachel thought about her mother, she had not known her mother much because she was murdered the night of the Athenian Invasion. The doors to the throne room opened and Jacinta walked in. around her neck was a horse-shoe amulet, her black hair was tied into a ponytail that streamed behind her as she walked. Jacinta used to be a Pegasus of Hermes but because she helped the princesses she got changed to a human as long as she wears her amulet. Jacinta walked up to Rachel and said,” why don’t you come out side. It is a lovely day today.”
Rachel looked at the staff in her hands. It was a long golden rod with two snakes twisting around it and a pair of golden wings on top. The staff was the reason they travelled to mount Olympus two years ago. The staff made the land peaceful, plus the monsters were scared of its power. Jacinta added,” if you are worried that some one will take the staff why don’t you put it in the safe.”
Rachel stood up and pushed the red cushion off her chair and untied her necklace. She put the charm in the lock and turned it clockwise. The lock clicked and out popped a draw under her throne. She carefully put the staff init and pushed the draw shut. Rachel then turned the lock anti-clockwise and pulled her amulet out of the lock. She then tied the necklace back around her neck and followed Jacinta outside. The sun shone brightly in the lovely blue sky.

** The Three Oracles**


The three sisters left there cottage and began to hike towards Natasha’s Island. When they got to the large lake they stopped. In the middle of the lake was Natasha’s Island. Natasha could turn humans into animals permanently and they could not leave the island unless the spell was broken. Brooke whistled, a red Pegasus flew down and landed next to the three oracles. Brooke mounted first then Elyse then Naomi. When they were all on the Pegasus flew up into the sky. They flew over the lake and Natasha’s Island. But when they got to the sea the Pegasus flew down to a cave. Brooke pulled on the reins but Juliette the Pegasus was not listening, it kept flying down towards the cave. This cave was the one that the four princesses had killed the gorgons and saved Princess Simona. Juliette landed next to the cave mouth. Brooke said,” I could not turn her away. I am sorry.”
Naomi looked around, statues of sailors, animals and soldiers were everywhere. When something looked into the gorgons’ eyes they would be turned to stone. Naomi said,” we must have landed here for a reason.”
They all dismounted Juliette. Juliette flew off very fast in to the clouds, something must have spooked her. They stood right in front of the caves mouth, exactly where the four princesses stood back then before they saved Simona. They heard someone call,” help!”
Elyse suggested,” well maybe the person calling for help ca in fact help us.”
Brooke and Naomi nodded there heads. They walked into the cave. In side the start of the cave were stalagmites and stalactites, plus a few statues here and there. Brooke stepped in a puddle; she shook the water off her sandals. The person stopped calling for help, the three girls entered a chamber lit with flaming torches. This was where the three gorgons were killed. People used to say that the gorgons were the three oracles’ evil souls. There was something lying on the ground, it looked like a person. But as they got closer they realised that it was Hades himself. He stood up and laughed,” you fell for my trap Oracles. I will never let you tell the princesses my plan.”
Black smoke engulfed the girls. They were trapped! Hades took his three prisoners down to the Underworld. He gave 4 gold coins to Charon the ferryman so that they could cross the river Styx. Styx is a river that divide earth from the underworld, the only way across is to give Charon one gold coin for a ride (each person=1 gold coin). The greeny-blue water of Styx is made up of the dead spirits of people who are crossing over into the afterlife, if you touch the water the spirits may pull you under and you would die. When they got to the gate they heard terrible barking. It was Cerberus, his three black dog heads were chained to giant boulders so he could not escape again. He had whip marks on his muscular shoulders and burn marks on his large paws. Hades must have punished him for helping the Princesses 2 years ago. The three Oracles could not stand to see the guardian of the underworld so…. so half dead. Gods were ment to fear this poor beast and he was ment to protect the underworld, how can he do that if he is hurt so badly. So Brooke yelled out,” Hades you monster! You should be chained up instead of Cerberus!”
Hades smirked,” if you feel so sorry for him why don’t you join him?”
Charon rowed the ferry to Cerberus. His barking stopped as soon as Hades stepped off the boat and landed on to the blacked ground of the underworld. Charon rowed the boat away once everyone was on shore; he disappeared into the eerie mist. Charon is a skeleton that wears a black cloak. Three chains hung from the rocky wall next to the gate. Hades put each girl on a chain,” now Belapolis has no chance of winning this war!”
Cerberus dropped his three heads down to sniff the girls. He licked each of them. He did not mind people coming in only when they tried to leave would he rip them to pieces or if they tried to steal something from Hades.

Chapter 2


Rachel and Jacinta walked over to Simona. Simona had just finished cooking lunch. Simona called out,” lunch time!”
All the Princesses came over and sat down at the wooden picnic table. Jacinta handed out the ceramic plates. Simona put some food on each plate. But just before they put the food into there mouths all of their charms glowed. A porthole opened next to the table. Simranjeet suggested,” Maybe the gods are calling us?”
Simona grumbled,” and I just made lunch too! Hmph!”
Danyera asked Jacinta,” Can you grab us some bags so we can take this wonderful food with us?”
Jacinta curtsied and went off to grab some bags. Ashley asked,” I wonder why they are calling us?”
Rachel gazed off into the distance, she had this horrible feeling that something had happened. Simona looked at Rachel and asked,” you have been acting strange lately. What’s up?”
Rachel turned around to face Simona,” it’s nothing, don’t worry.”
She smiled trying to keep her true feelings a secret so they would not get worried. Rachel stood up and stared running towards the castle. Danyera yelled after her,” what are you doing. Jacinta will be back any second!”
Rachel called back,” I am going to get the sceptre!”
She disappeared into the castle while the others sat around the table talking. Rachel ran along the stone floor. She turned the corner and ran into Mr.Kane, their horrible maths teacher. She hit the ground and was unconscious.
*** Hades ***

Hades sat in a throne of black bones. On the back of the throne some bones framed dragon wings while the feet of the throne were talons of gryphons. Hades had been planing his revenge for two whole years; he was not going to let three girls wreck it now that he was almost finished. Hades was creating an army of monsters, demons and many other creatures. He had a table in front of him. It was a map of Greece. He had circled Belapolis. On the side of the map were little figures, like chess pieces, of creatures that had joined his army. Hades called out,” Pain!”
A chubby red demon with two small horns on his head came running up the stairs to his hall. Pain stood up straight and put his claw like hand to his head in salute. Hades called again,” Panic!”
A thin blue demon with long horns and he was running around like a headless chook he did not see Pain in front of him. Panic’s horn’s hit Pain’s but. Pain let out a short cry and said,” Pain and…”
Panic went on,” Panic reporting for duty!”
Pain puled panic off his but as Hades asks,” has Seth the Egyptian god of their under world here?”
Panic answered,” he just got here.”
Hades looked at the stairs, behind Pain and panic stood a tall man with the head of a hippo/crocodile. He wore a black kilt and a dark blue head dress. Hades stood up and announced,” welcome to my Underworld. I bet it is different from yours.”
Seth growled,” quit the small talk! Why did you call me?”
Hades said,” ah, good point. Well as you can see on this table, I want to destroy Belapolis and it’s Princesses. But I need your help, these Princesses are not average. They have powers and well…”
Seth interrupted,” I know of the Belapolis Princesses, one of them is blessed by Bastet. My rival’s daughter, Ra. You need an army, I can help you there. But what do I get out of it?”
Hades smirked,” you get to see your rival’s daughter corrupt in horror by a girl that is like a daughter to her, which means ra will get unhappy.”
Seth thought for a second, then answered,” we have an accord. I will help you defeat them. Two underworlds are better than one.”
Hades put out his hand, Seth put his hand in Hades. They shook hands and the deal was done. No one can brake a deal with a god
*** Belapolis ***

Rachel woke up. Mr. Kane was next to her, his bald head glared in the light. Mr. Kane said,” thank goodness, maths saves everyone’s life.”
Rachel rolled her eyes and said,” go back to the mental institute Mr. Kane they can help you.”
She got up and ran off to the throne room. She opened the draw with her charm and grabbed the staff. She pushed the draw back in and put her charm back around her neck. She ran back out of the room until she was outside at the picnic table. Jacinta was there and the food was in bags. Ashley asked,” ready?”
Everyone nodded. They walked into the porthole. Rainbow colours swirled around them; soon they reached the end of the porthole. They stepped out. They were in Olympus. The pillars were golden, the floor and the walls were made of marble. In the centre of the room was a fountain trickling with water. On the other side of the room were steps that lead to closed doors. The girls walk past the fountain and knocked on the huge wooden doors. The porthole closed and the doors opened.
