Es ist mir gelungen, ein kleines bisschen der Göttin in mir wiederzuerwecken, und jetzt habe ich Kräfte, und keine Skrupel, sie zu nutzen.

I've been kidnapped by Zeus. Plucked from the streets of Manhattan and frightened half to death by a freaking Olympian god. And now I'm trapped in the Underworld, being forced to compete in a series of deadly trials for the position of Queen of the Underworld.

I am a Legend. Born to fight Death itself. Sworn to act as Zeus’ thunderbolt against the darkness. And now I’m mortal. Despite having Apollo, Poseidon, and Ares by my side I lost.

With his aid we stand the smallest chance, the slimmest of hopes.
