So Riova searched for this man, not sure who he was or anything about him. Time ed.She was beginning to think maybe Hera lied about finding this guy soon. She sat down, lonely and thinking about Aaron and John,wondering what they were doing.
Then, a guy appeared. He had red hair which covered his right eye. “Hello, why do you look so sad?” he sat next to her. “I feel the same as you...I yearn for adventure and being able to be a hero...but I have nobody to help me.”
Riova grins. “You must be the man that Hera spoke of, who would come to train me to bea great goddess.”
“Um well Hera didn't tell me of this, but maybe I am. I am Gyradoren but you can call me Doren.” he bows to her.
“Oh she didn't?Hum, well what should we do for training? I know of some things we did at camp, um...seeing the oracle told us what we needed to do.”
“Well, I can seethe future a bit. Hum, it seems your mother has been taken by...um...Hades it seems?” he blinks a bit.
“What? She is in trouble again? Um can you help me get her back please?” Riova looked at him hopefully
“Of course I would be glad to!” he smiled a bit. “This will be fun, when I save her I will be a hero..um..I guess you will be too.”
“You can take the credit if you want, I just want to impress Hera not be a hero.”Riova chuckled
“Oh really? You are so nice um...what is your name?” he moved to where Riova's mother was.
“Riova, sorry forgot to introduce myself.” they seem to be at an old building.“Huh so this is where Hades took her?”
“Yes seems to be,I wonder why Hades took her for? This is quite a mystery...maybe he wants a new wife?” he joked
“I doubt it, but I don't know much about Hades so maybe?” they walk in the building looking around, they see her mother tied up. “Don't worry mom I will save you.”
“You are not the one I wanted.” her mother scowled.
“What? I try to save you and you say that...wait a second...your a shapeshifter aren't you?” “Yes, and you ruined this. Others come and fight!”a hundred shapeshifters pop up from all around.
“Oh man...how am I supposed to fight all of them?” Riova frowned
“Don't worry, I can do most of the work.” then the guy made half of the group explode.
Riova widened he reyes. “Wow, you sure are powerful, well let me do my share.” she blasts lightning at the rest, but only gets ten. “Ugh, my powers aren't as great as yours.”
“I been doing this longer than you, that's all. You will improve!” he nodded.
“Uh yeah I guess,um can you still keep on helping?” some leap at them and she zapped them, and Doren takes care of the rest. “OK can you shapeshifters leave my mother alone now?”
“This is only the beginning.” a few of them slink off.
“I wonder why they are doing this for? Well at least they are gone for now.”Riova sighs. “I have a feeling this isn't the end of this.”
“I have no idea,but I will help you through this.” Doren puts a hand on her shoulder.
“Thank you, you are a good friend Doren.” she smiled and hugged him.
“No problem, I mean it helps both you and me at the same time after all.” he nodded.
“We should go to Mount Olympus, surely one of the Gods would know what is going on.” Riova took his hand and then appeared there.
Atlas was there at the front. “Oh, hello Riova...so you are finally ing us here?”
“Does anyone here know what the deal is with the shapeshifters, they tried to act like they kidnapped my mom.” she asked
“Hum, if anyone would know it would be the fates, and they are not here.” he seemed to be a little nervous for some reason.
“Ok, so how do I find them then?” Riova looks over him, wondering something.
“They are nasty,they will not just tell you what they know unless you trick them too.”Atlas warned.
“I am not good at that, isn't anyone else good with that?” Riova frowns
“Not that I know of really. But, maybe you can make the shapeshifters think you are one of them?” Atlas suggested
“How would I do that? I only have two forms, human and this.” Riova sighed.
“They aren't very smart, I am sure they would fall for it.” Atlas nodded.
“I don't think so...well maybe you can do something Doren?” she looks at him
“I can try.” he glows and then blinks staring at Atlas. “I sense he is one of the shapeshifters!”
“What? No you are mistaken.” The shapeshifter steps back.
“Don't lie to me,what is your plot!?” Doren glows trying to look threatening.
“I will never tell!” he changes to bird and flies away.
“You stop or you will die!” Riova make a flicker of lightning trying to scare him.
The shapeshifter stops and changes to a mole. He digs. “Ha can't get me here..”
“Oh you are wrong.” Doren makes a ball of energy appear in the hole.
The shapeshifter pops up and changes to a human. “OK I will tell, but..please leave me alone. Promise?”
Riova and Doren nod. “Yes we are curious what is going on.”
“Well you see, we feel like we should be on Olympus, and it shouldn't just be for Gods.” he explained.
“That's it? Well I could ask my father if you can.”Riova smiled. “You don't have to go at this complicated plan.”
“Oh, I feel really dumb. Um can I come with you?” he asked, blushing
“Err, well he probably will be angry at you for what you were doing. I don't think that is a good idea.” Riova shook her head
“Oh yeah you are probably right.” The shapeshifter looked down. “Well I will wait for you then.”
Riova heads to talk to her father. “Dad, shapeshifters are doing terrible things to get on the mountain, I think you should let them on.”
“I will not bend to brute force! I will teach them a lesson!” he growls getting out the lightning bolts.
“Dad, calm down!There is no need to be a war about this.” Riova grabs the lightning.
“Riova, please do not take those! You do not understand why it is so important nobody but Gods go on Mount Olympus.”
“Ok, then explain it to me.” Riova stared at him.
“It would be chaos if they were here...we make sure things go well.” Zeus nodded
Riova isn't too convinced. “But with them doing these things, it is chaos...it would be better if you let them on.”
“I am not going to discuss this further Riova, I am not going to let them on.”
Riova frowned, not knowing what to do. She appeared back to Doren and the shapeshifter.“He said no.”
“Then this is war!” the shapeshifter roared.
“Please, why is it so important you go there? It really isn't that great to have awar over it!” Riova frowned
“You can never understand our pain.” he turns into a bird and flies away.
“What will we do?I have no idea how to stop this war.” Riova groans putting a hand on her head.
“I have an idea,why don't I make a mountain for them? Then they should be happy!”Doren suggested
“Hey that is a good idea!” so, together they started making a tall mountain for the shapeshifters.
Riova goes to find them. They were making an army when she appears. “No need for that, we made a mountain for you.”
They look at her.“You don't get it, when you are on Mount Olympus for a long time,you become a God...that is why we want to be on there.”
Riova sighs. “Being a God isn't great, you have a bunch of responsibilities, and if you make a mistake it can mean the end of the world.”
The shapeshifters blink. “It is really like that?”
Riova nodded. “Yes,it really isn't much fun. I would rather be like you.”
“Well, maybe it is best to stop the war then.” they put down weapons.
“Whew, thank you!I thought trouble would happen.” Riova sighs.
“Well, we will get to hunting for food and such. Um, maybe see you later.” they head off.
“Hum...I wonder what adventures we will have now with them not in the picture.”Doren looked curious.
