I am very excited for all of these units. Mythology has always been very intriguing to me because they were spread throughout so many countries and they have such strong similarities but they are not the same. I think that I am most excited for week 3 and 4 because I love Greek mythology. I enjoy learning about the gods and each of their offspring and how that effected their lives.

I was distracted by a tall tower that reached far above me. I squinted trying to see better. Then, three furies flew down. They were stained with blood and holding a woman. But, she was not normal. She had green snakes coming from her scalp. They were tearing at her breast. She screamed mercilessly and attempted to swat them away. Suddenly their attention shifted towards me.

As she came towards us, there was a loud crash that shook both the banks. My master told me to focus on the mist. Only the mist. More than a thousand spirits scattered from the water. Amongst them was a Stygain ferry with dry feet. He waved the mist away with annoyance. I knew he was a messenger from Heaven. He walked to...
