Once upon on an epic, Boseus and Dyason 

were hunting in the forests of Crete. Our 

heroes were favored by the gods, Boseus, son 

of Poseidon and Dyason, son of Hephaestus. 

Dyason was gifted in metal- working, a trait 

from his father. Dyason crafted for his friend 

Boseus, a sword of Celestial Bronze. Poseidon 

blessed the sword with the power to summon 

great storms, therefore Boseus named it 

Hurricane. Dyason crafted for himself a bow of 

great mechanical ingenuity. It fired heat-

seeking arrows and its quiver was blessed by 

Artemis with infinite arrows. 

As the heroes were hunting for dinner, 

Poseidon appeared to the demigods in a 

chariot drawn by snow-white horses. “I am 

here to bring you to Olympus. I have a quest 

for you,” said Poseidon as he gave his horses 

some water. Boseus and Dyason rode with 

Poseidon to Olympus to receive the quest.

Poseidon brought our heroes to the throne room to meet the other 

gods that would assist them.   Artemis, Hestia, and Hephaestus rose 

to greet them. “I will now explain the quest,” said Poseidon. “My 

brother Hades has created a bear, the Styxian Bear. It turns any 

water into Styx water, therefore I can’t control it. I want you to slay 

it.” “As you wih Lord Poseidon,” said Dyason. “We have gifts to aid 

you,” said Hestia, “My gift is this eternal torch. It will never stop 

burning unless you tell it to.” “I decided to give you my trusty 

hunting dog Alpha,” said Artemis, “He has been with me since my 

birth, take care of him. He is very protective of heroes and will fight 

to the death to protect you." Hephaestus boomed, “My gift to you is 

this GPS to will locate the Bear. It will only work after you meet 

Hades.” “Now my gift, this orb of magic water,” said Poseidon, “It 

can summon enough water to fill a small sea.” “Thank you gods and 

goddesses. We will use your gifts to the greatest efficiency possible,” 

The heroes replied. “Let us go friend, we are losing time,” Said 

Boseus as the adventurers climbed onto their pegasi backs and they 

flew towards the island of Westfaxus; where the Chimera lived, a 

monster that was part lion, part snake, and part goat. There our 

heroes would find their first clue of the Styxian Bear’s whereabouts. 

Boseus and Dyason landed on the island and immediately 

began their search for the Bear. They came up empty- handed 

expect for one footprint. “This must be a bear print,” said 

Dyason, “We must be getting closer.” Suddenly, the roar of 

the Chimera could be heard by the heroes.   Alpha, the first 

one to recover from shock, barked back in protest, warning 

the Chimera to stay away.   With haste, the heroes tried to 

escape Westfaxus, but the Chimera had other ideas.   He 

jumped in front of the heroes and prevented them from 

escape.   Dyason, distracting the monster, allowed Boseus to 

sneak up, unnoticed, and kill the monster. The monster, in its 

last effort, shot fire at the heroes.   Boseus used his fast 

reflexes and predicted the monsters move, he grabbed the 

magic water orb and used his power over water to control it. 

Boseus blasted a column of water at the fire and saved 

Dyason and Alpha. The heroes got on their pegasi and flew off 

towards Underworld.

Once they arrived they arrived at the Underworld, Boseus, Dyason, and Alpha 

walked right down to Hades’ palace. “By the order of Poseidon, I demand you to 

withdraw the Styxian Bear and banish him to Tartarus!” Boseus shouted at 

Hades. “Hahaha! Puny mortals, you think I would take orders from you or your 

Olympian father! Cerberus! Take care of the son of my salty brother. Hydra! 

Finish the son of the forge!” Appearing almost out of thin air, the monsters 

came at the heroes. Boseus quickly took the water orb and the GPS and Dyason 

took the torch and Alpha. Dyason began shooting arrows at Hydra while Alpha 

bit it. Dyason shot Hydra’s heads but they keep regenerating. What would he 

do? Boseus wasn't having much luck either. He was trying to slice Cerberus’ 

heads off but the dog was too fast. Boseus blasted the demon with water and 

swiped at Cerberus with his sword. Boseus stabbed the dog’s heart and 

Cerberus was defeated! Dyason was running out of ideas to defeat Hydra. 

Finally he devised a solution, by remembering Heracles, Dyason knew he must 

burn the stumps of the Hydra’s head to kill them. “I need to aim for the heads, 

then go up and burn the edges of the neck.” Dyason shot at the heads of the 

Hydra, then ran up using the infinite torch and prevented the heads from 

reforming.   The last head, the only immortal one, started spiting everything 

imaginable at the heroes; including fire, poison, demon koalas, and giraffes 

riding unicorns.   Dyason sent Alpha to force Hydra into the Pit, Tartarus. Alpha 

bit and barked to make Hydra fall into the Pit. Hydra in desperation to stay in 

the palace, bit the edge of the Pit, but the ground was obsidian gravel. Hydra fell 

into the Pit and never bothered anyone else again.

“Hades, your best monsters failed to kill us, give me the 

location of the Styxian Bear now or we will destroy you 

like we killed your beasts!” demanded Boseus. “All right, 

you’ve won. I will summon the Bear here,” announced 

Hades. Boseus and Dyason were relieved their 

dangerous quest was complete, or so they thought. With 

a gust of wind, Hades was gone and there was no sign of 

the Styxian Bear. The GPS buzzed in Boseus’ pocket, he 

looked at it and its compass told our heroes to go north. 

“It’s in the Artic!” shouted Dyason. Boseus and Dyason 

didn’t have their pegasi anymore, therefore they did the 

only logical thing; they stole Charon’s boat. “Hey,” 

Charon yelled, “that’s MY boat!” “Now it’s mine!” Boseus 

responded. The heroes sailed up the River Styx until 

they reached the mortal world. They sailed for 40 days 

until they arrived in the Arctic.
