Mortal heroes, Infernix thought, scoffing. Even the nicest of the gods thought of mortals as… well, armed cockroaches, no more.
Denise had always been top dog. Not just at math, not just at social studies—everything. She was good at sports and school, and even pretty good at video games. But she had always had an ominous feeling that the kids at her school weren't fond of her.
All of her friends told her that she was too good, that that was why nobody liked her. But she didn’t understand. She was smart, free homework help! What could anyone not like about her?
And then the bullying started. Even just to go to the bathroom, she had to have teachers with her to make sure she didn’t get shoved up a wall or robbed of her lunch money. -
One day, Franchise, the school bully, gave her a wedgie. He put his hands on his hips and laughed. "You're not as 'top' as you think you are," he warned her. "Me and my friends add coming for you." "You're just a bully because your name is so stupid," Denise countered. She really hadn’t had any insult training the past month. Denise glared at him and tried to get down, but she just worsened the wedgie. "I think I’ll leave you here," Franchise said, grinning, but suddenly, the earth roared, and the ground started to shake.

An earthquake. Denise was smart, unlike Franchise, but he still had a head start, seeing as Denise was hanging from the ceiling fan in the locker room. Frowning, she asked herself, How do I not die? A plan began to form in her mind. "Yes. I get off the fan," she told herself. She ran a scenario in her head and decided she probably wouldn’t hit her head on the floor and crack her skull. Okay. Okay, she said, trying to prepare herself to do it.
She let go of the fan and hit the floor on her feet. Phew. She readjusted her underwear and naturally decided to run. Bursting through the school, panicking and forgetting the way to the front doors, the earth shook angrily. Raging and kicking like an unborn baby, the earthquake went wherever Denise went, trying to block her way. Gasping for air, Denise noticed nobody else was in the school. Curses, she thought to herself. Nobody was here to guide her now. Stopping and closing her eyes, she tried to recall whether to go left or right from the art room. The earth nearly pushed her over, but she stayed rooted. Left, she decided, and she didn’t stay in the same spot for long.
With a fallen school building behind Denise, she made it out. Now, she had the gods to worry about. She stopped in her tracks and prayed. Please, to the skies of above, what did I do to deserve this? In response, the sky boomed back so only she could hear, FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK. YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN NOT TO COMPARE YOURSELF TO A DIVINE ONE! But what did I do? she pleaded. -
Apparently, she wasn’t going to get an answer, and besides, stopping and praying to gods who had basically caused this natural disaster so she could die wasn’t a great idea. Additionally, well, it just generally wasn’t great to stop running in the middle of the earthquake, and the earthquake was quite eager to demonstrate that. Denise stumbled and lost her balance, and the earthquake pushed her down every time she tried to get up. Ugh, she thought, but finally she managed to lift herself up. The school had fallen behind her, and she was pretty sure that tree to her left was not going to stay rooted forever. She sprinted forward until she reached the end of the island she lived on. Waves came forth to ease the shore, and there was no way she could escape now.

Back on his throne, Infernix was chuckling. So there was a way to get around Harvard after all. She would look like a fool for punishing this mortal by the time he was done feeding her lies! Why was she ever made immortal in the first place? Perhaps at one point she was nicer, then it all went to her head... it was quite disappointing that it had to end this way for her. Surely after the other gods saw what she’d done, they’d vote her off the Council of Gods forever. She'd be banished from their palace in the skies for eternity, and she’d live in an old shack in the mortal world, forever scorned and hated. Yes... it was too good.
Meanwhile, Infernix did not seem to be considering that tricking a goddess into punishing a mortal just to make a goddess look ridiculous was incredibly unprofessional. After all, what about the mortal? This one was special, but Infernix didn’t know that much. He'd just have a wheel of misfortune hooked up and a bunch of humans' faces on it. He didn’t know anything about Denise, just told Harvard Denise was insulting her, and it all went downhill for Denise and uphill for Infernix.
Denise was struggling. What could she do? The seaside hotel was falling, and she felt like her life was in slow motion, which only made it worse. She could feel her impending doom closing in on her. Denise had only three options now. a) stare up at the seaside hotel and accept her fate, b) stare up at the seaside hotel and pray to the gods, and c) run back into town where a bunch of buildings had collapsed. She decided to go with c, perhaps so she could live at least a little longer, but she didn’t have much time to act. The building fell on her chest (bullseye!), and the world went black for the poor girl. -
When Denise woke up, she found that she had been whisked away to what looked like a hospital. One person stood to the side of her in a chair and immediately yelled, "The One is awake!" Chanting, two people rushed to her side. "ARE YOU FEELING OKAY," one boomed. "Sorry about the noisy one. Her name is Athens," the other chanter whispered softly. "She literally has zero inside voice," Denise observed. "No, that is her inside voice. By the way, I’m Argos, and the one sitting in the chair is Tang." Denise frowned. "Tang is Chinese?" Denise guessed. "Yes," Argos replied. "Tang is, but she speaks English very well." "You're absolutely right; I do," Tang chimed in. Denise was still recovering from the shock of experiencing an earthquake.
