Orion

“Orion!” he yelled, “what are you doing here? You’re way over due!”
“I’m immortal,” I corrected,”I can’t die of disease or old age.”
“You have been slain many times!”
“Innocently. Only mortals can die for that.”
“But still! You’ve-”
“Wait! I have bad news.”
“Another event?”
“Yes. Remember the Tower of Babel?”
“Why should I care about that?”
“You don’t. I just need to borrow some witnesses from when it last happenned-”
“Who are your friends?” the Lord of Hell interrupted.
I turned around. “Oh, this is Jason, Collin, and Rachel. Future fire, earth, and water manipulators.”
“Mortals?”
“Yes”
“Fine. Take your people. But I want them back before the end of the day. Have Charon lead you the their dwellings.”
“Thank you.”
Charon lead us across the Underworld until we found three eye witnesses of The Tower of Babel. One Chinese man, one African man, one French man, and one German man. I gave Charon a tip and we were back off to the earth.
