Chapter 3 : Pugatory

Third Person

From where I am sitting I was actually intrigued by those two souls who have been walking around this empty space for over ten years.

I wonder if they have a reason for not moving to heaven or hell.

That's not my concern I'm just a keeper of this place.

But aren't I suppose to make them move on. They look like they don't want to move on but want to go back to earth but I can't help them I'm just a lone keeper.

It's another week and I was able to get them to talk they claim to be gods and that they've been made mortal on earth and I told them they aren't on earth but they are in purgatory but they don't believe so I directed them to the head overhere maybe they'll get their answers but I feel bad because they have a very long journey to the Faceless man's Palace.

Artemis's POV

So we weren't made mortal we were sent to purgatory. I actually can't believe The Moirai sent us to Pugatory without warning us.

I wonder who the faceless man is. He sounds creepy. The black swirl said his palace was to the east but I don't see no east.

I wonder how we will ever get to this palace.

'Brother how do you think we'll find this place so we can go to earth as soon as possible' I said.

'There! If that swirly thing is right we have roamed this endless space for 16 years for nothing and we have 2 years before our human forms become of age.' he said pointing towards the tall white building far away behind the vast forest before us.

We started walking towards the white building. The white building looked like a portkey kind ofish.

So supposedly we've been roaming purgatory for 16 years it means we haven't accomplished anything at all. And I still don't know who framed me.

That made me sad because I miss home and everyone on Mount Olympus. I don't know for Apollo I very well know he made a great sacrifice to stay with me. I just hope everything would work out well for us.

All of a sudden a floating parchment appeared in front of us making us come to a halt. It had this written on it

You have 7 tests to complete before you will reach the Faceless Palace. You must overcome the Seven Deadly Sins:

•Tame the Prideful Lion

•Kill the Envious Serpent

•Quench the Wrath of Fires

•Quicken the Sloth Snails

•Make the Greedy Monkeys selfless

•Provide for the Glutton Pig

•Overcome Lust

Before you can make it to the Faceless Palace you must accomplish all these without supernatural help for these are the Sins you all commit mostly before you come to PURGATORY.

Okay that is not understanding. This seems to be in a poem form I guess. No I think a methaphorical statement.

I never new we came to purgatory for commiting these. If you don't know pride, envy, wrath, greed, sloth, gluttony and lust.

I know crazy.

We started walking again towards the white building and we started to wonder where exactly to begin this quest from because it seems impossible to begin from empty space.
