"Are you really going to do this Julia?” A pale faced goddess with right white hair said her face in half of a panic but half excitement, “I mean it’s dangerous but you’ll be on earth!”

The blonde haired goddess with the pale blue eyes turned her gaze up as she finished washing her face. A bright white smile moved across her full lips showing her straight white teeth. She was the perfect mix of her mother Hera and her father Zeus. “I’m excited, it’s just a gather-information mission and you can only learn so much by watching earth. I can’t wait to ride on the trains and in the cars! See all the things that the humans have built without our assistance and eat all of their amazing food!”

The white haired goddess giggled at her friend before falling down on the couch. “So you’ve got a place to live down there in… what? New York City. And you’re partnering with one of Hades’ kids. Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

“I didn’t want to partner with anyone.” Julia said stepping behind a large changing curtain and climbed into her human clothes as she spoke. “Much less someone from Hades’ linage but dad insisted that I not do this alone.”

“I’m surprised Hercules didn’t…”

Julia had finished dressing and jumped out from behind the curtain and pointed at the goddess. “Don’t even get started with him! I told him no and I’m sticking with no. I want nothing to do with him, I don’t want him in my life and I’m pretty sure mom would kill him if he tried anything. Though I doubt my dad would be against his bastard highly recognized slash praised child and his prized child hooked up.” A full shiver shook her body as she wrapped her blonde locks up into a pony tail and threw her small backpack onto her shoulders and snatched up the two set of keys to the loft 2 bedroom apartment. “But that is a battle for another day.”

Waving to her friend she called out as she walked out of the room. “I’ll be back soon, this can’t take that long.” With that she ventured to the exit of the heavens. Taking a deep breathe she placed her hand on the archway, the archway began to glow, and soon the space between it filled with the imagine of the streets of New York City. “Wow…” She said softly.

“Julia?” A voice called out behind her. “Julia wait, don’t go!” The male voice grew louder as footsteps seemed in a sprint towards her.

“No, no no no. no no no no no!” She said quickly as she begged the portal to get solid before Hercules grabbed her and pulled her back from it. The gods and goddess each had opinions about this mission and Hercules had his about Julia going but, this was her mission, her idea and her job! As soon as the wall became solid she sprang through it feeling fingertips brush against her arm. The door disappeared behind her and she came straight into the human world stumbling and tumbling like a new born baby lamb learning how to walk. Of course, the blonde tumbles directly into someone. “Oh gosh I’m so sorry I…” Her voice cut off as she stared over at the man she had smacked into, his aurora was incredibly dark and even at the small distance between them their auroras clashed intensely. “Oh well… hello.” She said, her smile as bright at the sky. “You were easier to find then I expected. Sorry about that.” She had literally fallen onto her new partner and knocked both of them to the ground. Getting to her feet quickly she threw her bag back over her shoulder and offered him her right hand. “I’m Julia, let me help you up.”
