Highway to Hades

And with that, Odin’s chariot whisked the pair towards Hades. Before long, they came across what appeared to be a some sort of checkpoint. A large sign read Now leaving the Universe of Norse Mythology (UNM). Prepare to enter the Universe of Greek Mythology (UGM).

”D’oh!” shouted Odin. “I forgot me passport. Smuggle me in?”

”Well…alright,” said Fred. Odin hid under a animal skin and Fred took the reins of the chariot.

The chariot pulled up at the checkpoint. A handsome fellow in a toga was manning the booth. His nametag read Hermes. “Welcome to the UGN,” Hermes said in a bored tone. “Anything to declare?”

”Uh, just this chariot,” Fred said nervously.

”Okay…that is allowable as we have chariots in the UGN and it won’t disrupt things too much, despite the garish design.” Hermes looked more closely at the animal skin in the backseat. “Hey…you aren’t trying to smuggle in any illegal Gods are you?”

1. Fred manages to get Odin past the border.
2. Odin is discovered by Hermes.
