the reason that your triskele doesn’t work here.” Hel explains.
    “ Thank you ma’am.” I reply.
    Hel gives me a curt nod and leaves the room. I spend the next five minutes getting dressed and then Jason, Reyna, Cheza, Naia, and Nahid re-enter the room. Cheza just stands there, glaring at me with her arms crossed across her chest, before Jason speaks up.
    “ Well, it’s been real, CT. Next time you come back, I’ll show you around Niflheim; it’s pretty much the Hollywood of the Underworld.” Jason says.
    “ Definitely! Thanks for your help Nahid.” I say.
    “ It was thanks to you that we were able to catch Saquib so just consider us even.” Nahid replies.
    “ Naia, since you apparently aren’t supposed to be in the Underworld, you are coming to live with me.” I say. Cheza’s eyes narrow in response, but Naia looks rather pleased.
    “ Why does he get two winged harem members…” Jason grumbles.
    “ You had better not be including Lila as a ‘winged member’ or you’ll be on the receiving end of a left hook in about five seconds.” I tell him.
    “ What!? Pfft, no! I wasn’t including Lila! I was talking about… SMOKEBOMB!” Jason yells as he flicks all of his fingers out in front of his face, and runs out of the room.
    “ Idiot… alright you three, hold on.” I say to Reyna, Naia, and Cheza while holding out my right arm. Naia and Cheza grab on, but Reyna looks reluctant.
    “ Don’t worry; I can take you down here to see him anytime you want.” I whisper to Reyna.
    “ Who said this has anything to do with Jason!? Maybe the mere thought of touching you repulses me so much that I don’t want to do it even if I have to stay in the Underworld!” Reyna snaps.
    “ Whoa! Is it really necessary to hurt my feelings in order to lie to yourself?” I ask.
    “ I’m sorry…” Reyna replies quietly.
    “ Apology accepted. Now I’m making up your mind for you.” I say and touch my right shoulder blade.
     

 
     
     
    Chapter 11: WILSOOOON!
    “ Oh my! There is so much color!” Naia announces when she sees our front yard.
    If this is her response to Arizona, her mind will be blown when she sees parts of this world that are actually colorful. I walk up to the front door of the house and stop. Returning home from the Underworld feels weird… I feel anxious for some reason… well, here goes nothing.
    “ WELCOME HOME COLE!” Sara and Tia shout as I open the door. I step inside and they both rush over to hug me.
    “ COLE! WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR ARM!?” Sara screams.
    “ Eaten by Apep so I made a new one.” I explain quickly.
    “ Who is this?” Tia inquires.
    “ This is Naia, I met her in the cage we were being held in; she has amnesia and doesn’t even remember what she is. Oh, and she’s invisible unless she wears that bracelet. She’s going to be staying here for a while.” I inform them.
    “ Based on your description, I might have an idea of what Naia is. Let’s sit down and have some lunch while we talk about it.” Sara suggests.
    “ Alright; I’m going to go change my clothes first.” I say and head towards my room.
    “ I need to get going; if I leave now I should be able to make it back in time for my afternoon classes.” Cheza says as I head towards my room.
    She must be going to ASU now. I walk into my room and see that it is almost exactly as I left it. I start changing into a clean t-shirt and cargo shorts when I hear whispering.
    “ Chezarei, have you told him yet?” Tia asks.
    “ Told him what?” Cheza asks, sounding slightly annoyed.
    “ About Jarrett.” Tia clarifies. “Chezarei, you have to tell him!”
    “ I don’t have to tell him anything!” Cheza expounds. “Now I have to go or I’m going to be late.”
    My stomach bottoms out as I hear the front door slam shut. Is this how Tom Hanks felt when he finally got off of that island in Cast Away ? And I don’t even have Wilson to help me through it…
    “ Hey Airi?”
    (No, you may not
