• Turbulence

  Aphrodite was green. Athena’s satnav system had directed the four-horse-drawn chariot directly through the fiercest of storm clouds. Athena and Hera were both ‘sat’ in the front of the chariot, and Aphrodite had the back seat all to herself. The chariot plummeted, gained height, and flipped over right and left.

• Descent–and–Hell on Earth

  Two posts in one today, continuing the Legendary Circles storyline… Descent Hera took the front seat of the carriage, and took charge of the reins. Aphrodite and Athena had to take the back seat. Athena typed instructions into her satnav. “This is the way!” Athena said, referring to her satnav’s directions and not their method…
