Happy Hero in Mythology, Part 1

Sorry. I've been slacking off lately. Now I have to do Mythology Island, which was put out months ago. Well, I might as well just tell you about it.

I arrived at Mythology Island. I first went to the Museum of Olympus. As I walked in, there were pictures on the the wall. I pressed the button next to the pictures. And then the story started.




What a weird silly story. After it was finished, I walked on to see some statues. I jumped all the way to the top platform and saw a starfish on Poseidon's face. I took it.
(By the way, I got bored of babyish dragons, so I changed back to my cheerleader costume.)
Then I ran out of the museum because everybody knows museums are quite boring, and always want to get out of them fast.
I went left to the tree of immortality and saw an old woman pacing around in most boredom. So I tromped right in front of her and began to talk to her.
But she said, "Things are not always what they seem to be. "
I was like, uh, okay, and walked away to the Tree of Immortality.
Suddenly a statue stopped me and said,"I dare you to pick an apple!"
I just stared at it in fright. Who knew statues could talk! I ran up the steps to the tree, gasping for breath. There were huge red snakes everywhere. It was so scary. Real big snakes! Oversized snakes! With honey on their mouths! I had a feeling Mythology was gonna be scary.
I jumped on branches and climbed snakes until I met a half-ram, half-man, holding a reed pipe. And above us there was a golden apple! I gazed in awe.
I asked the man,"Can you help me get the golden apple?"
He said," The nymphs hid all my honey! Collect 10 jars before time runs out and I'll help you."
I had one minute to catch all those jars of honey while the ram-man watched me lazily. I caught the last one at the last second. I ran back up to the man, huffing and puffing.
He said, "Thanks for the honey. Use this secret path to reach the apple," and pointed to a secret path.
I used the secret path and easily caught the apple. Suddenly the ram man said,"Well I think I'll be leaving now."
And suddenly Zeus emerged from the sky.
He said,"Who has picked an apple of immortality?"
"Um, sorry. Do you want it back?" I said.
"I will grant you immortality. But first you must perform a task."
"What I refuse?
"Then all of Poptropica will feel my wrath."
"Okay, then. What do I have to do?"
Zeus flew up in the sky, leaving a scroll.
I took it and climbed out of the tree.
Suddenly I saw the old woman turn into Athena! I ran to her.
She said,"Look to the olive trees if you need my help. "
I ran to the bridge on the left.
I looked up and saw aqueducts.
I looked in front of me and saw a big spiderlike woman!!! With wings!!!
I saw a dead rose in front of her and ran to get it. But before I could set my round Poptropican hands on it, the monster said, "To gain one of my flowers, you must pass my test."
"What do I have to do?" I said.
"What once was wet is now dried up. When once again the water flows. Then I will grant you one red rose."

I shrugged and went of to the aqueducts. On my way I found a pomegranate tree. I picked some.









Then I went to the aqueducts. I climbed the rope.
Above me were a bunch of, well, aqueducts! I pulled some levers until I finally got all the water flowing.















I ran back to the monster. The rose wasn't wilted anymore. It had lots of colors! It was nice! I gaped.


I took it. The monster grinned toothily at me, and said, I swam around her to the other side and saw a door.
It was locked. "Oh no, what am I gonna do?!" I said. It was then that I saw an olive tree. I looked to it. "Music can open new doors." Music?! I didn't have any instrument. I turned and ran back to the Tree, passed Main Street, and to the Grove of Temples. There was a museum. Again!! But it had music notes all over it. Maybe this is the place!!! I thought. I went inside and there were statues-AGAIN!!! I ran past them in frustration. "Ooo, free reed pipes!" I said. Music! I took one.
