Note the reader: this chapter contains stories from Greek mythology. Learn more about Jason and the Argonauts here.

Levi and Racer: Levi suddenly entered a world of portals! Levi grabbed Racer’s leash. “Hello,” a voice said behind them. 

“Amelia?!” he yelled, scared that the queen was following him.

“Brother?!” the other voice yelled! Levi turned around to see another dog! She gave Racer a new collar. Racer started to speak!

“Thanks, Sis, I missed you soo much!!!” 

Levi almost fainted after hearing his dog talk! But before Levi fainted he heard a “fire in the hole!”

Portals all around them started getting destroyed, and in no time, every portal was gone except for 8 portals left. Racer’s sister clearly had done this before and knew how to navigate the portals.

“Come on Racer, it’s time to go,” Levi whispered.

“No!” Racer said. “I’m not losing my sister again!” 

“Then take her with us,” Levi yelled back.

“I want to see Mount Olympus,” Racer’s sister said.

“MOUNT OLYMPUS” Racer and Levi screamed at the same time because they were afraid. But Racer’s sister grabbed both of them, and the three of them fell into the closest portal, which she knew would take them to Mount Olympus. As they fell through the portal, Levi could see constellations forming all around them but they disappeared right as Levi landed. 

“Now, stay quiet,” Racer’s sister said. 

Levi looked around and saw the ocean and a mountain made of loose rocks and boulders. It was cloudy outside but hot. It seemed like they went back in time and all around them were gods and goddesses dressed in gowns and sweatsuits. He even saw camels on the beach. 

There was a giant palace filled with gods and goddesses doing stuff! He realized they had been dropped into a library where Hercules was showing how strong he was, while Poseiden  was reading a book titled, “Land & Sea, Battles At Large,” while chanting, “Go sea creatures, go!” Zeus was reading to toddlers while Hera was behind a bookshelf, looking very jealous.

“What’s up, bros!” Racer’s sister said. 

“I thought you told us to not talk!” Levi whispered. 

“I did, to you!” she responded.

Hera walked over to them with fury in her eyes. Levi grabbed on to Racer and Racer grabbed onto his sister! 

Hera opened a book and said, “Good-bye!” with an evil laugh!  

All of a sudden Levi and the dogs got sucked into the book!

Before he knew it, Levi was standing right next to Jason and his team of Argranots!

“Who are you?” Jason asked. 

“I’m Margo, this my brother Racer, and this Racer’s owner, Levi!” Racer’s sis said excitedly.

“YOUR Margo?” Levi yelled! “LIKE THE Margo?” Levi said again. 

Margo waved back her hair. “Yep,” she said.

“Who’s Margo?” Jason whispered to Racer.

“She’s on the show Dance Your Heart Out,” Racer told Jason.

“Okey dokey, set sails for the golden fleece!” Jason ordered. “Follow me,” he told  Margo, Racer and Levi.

He made sure he was out of view of the pages of the book and said, “Now yall’s follow what the crew and I do, okay?” 

“Okay.” Margo, Racer and Levi said together.

It was hard to do what everybody was doing because they had never worked on a ship before and it was really challenging. Finally, when they headed back towards Jason’s home, the three couldn’t hold it in anymore. 

“Your sail is supposed to be changed!” the three yelled. The three knew the story of Jason and the Argonauts and knew they couldn’t fix the ending because that would ruin the whole story! 

Jason grabbed them and put them into a canon! He lit the canon and blasted them into the real world! Hera saw them and stomped to them! Levi remembered he had grabbed a sword from the ship. 

Levi saw Margo mouthing, “Do it!” to him.

He pulled the sword out of his pocket and swung rapidly at Hera! Next thing he knew, enchanted guts and other parts of the body were scattered on the library floor.

“Get ready to make a run for it!” Margo said, panicking.

“Daddy, Mommy, look at bowady parts over the growend,” a toddler said! 

“Those are your first words?” the Mom screamed with fury in her eyes!

“Run!” Racer said.

The three of them ran all around the palace with a mob of angry gods and goddesses chasing them! 

Levi looked at his watch and said, “Bathroom, left, QUICK!” 

They locked themselves in a bathroom and heard a voice behind them say “Hola!”

“Dad?!” Margo and Racer said together.

“Chicos!” Racer’s dad said excitedly.

“How many of Racer’s family members are there?” Levi thought.

“One in every portal,” Margo said. 

“Does that collar let you READ MY MIND?!”

“One: be quieter, and two: no, you were thinking out loud,” Margo said.

“Look,” Racer’s dad said.

Levi and Margo turned around to watch Racer’s dad hit the “big flush” and “little flush” buttons on the toilet enough times to make a grown-up faint. It sprayed him.

“Racer’s dad,” Levi said. “Think thin….”

“I have a name, you know. It’s Edwardo,” Racer’s father said, cutting Levi off. 

“Woof arf arf,” Racer said to Edwardo.

“Right, right, of course!” Edwardo told everyone!

Levi went over and asked Margo what Racer said.

“He said, ‘Remember the code 5072’.” Margo answered. 

Margo didn’t want to tell Levi the real code so she made up the number. 

Edwardo had pulled the toilet paper roll and a secret chamber appeared on the wall. Levi assumed the chamber that appeared on the wall was the portal, and walked right into the wall.

“That’s just wallpaper, silly,” Margo said. She grabbed him and directed him to the staircase that had opened on the floor. Together they walked down a staircase and made it into a huge room where the wall looked just like the wallpaper upstairs in the bathroom. Levi was nervous this time so he walked very close to it and felt it first, but then fell into it! Next thing he knew, he heard soldiers marching down dungeon steps. 

One thing he knew: he was in trouble!...
