Narrator: One week after Aphrodite was born, her parents have a party to dedicate her to the gods.
Heira: Thank you! Oh, hi Hadesa! So you decided to come after all.
Hadesa: Yes, here’s a present for you, little Aphrodite.
(Aphrodite takes the bottle and Heira leaves.)
Aphrodite: Waaaaaaaaaaa!
(she throws the bottle on the floor.)
Heira: Oh, this must be trash! I’ll throw it away.
Narrator: Meanwhile back at Hadesa’s lair...
Hadesa: I almost got her! I will try to kill her again... But not now. I’ll watch her from my crystal ball for 15 years, then when she least expects it I’ll get her!
Heira: Okay Aphrodite, good night. We will never let that evil Hadesa kill you!
Narrator: Heira doesn’t know that Hadesa will be back to get her.
Narrator: 15 years later Aphrodite goes to see Athena she went to find out why Hedasa wanted to kill her.
Heira: Hadesa wanted to kill you cause of your beauty. She was jealous of your looks and all the attention you got when you were a baby. For your present she gave you a bottle full of poison. Your mother looked at it. It had little things floating around in it so she washed it out.
Aphrodite: Oh, now I understand. Do you think I can kill her for trying to kill me?
Heira: It’s not that simple like you think. You must kill her gradually.
Aphrodite: How can I do that?
Heira: First find out her weaknesses. Go to the underworld and ask any one you see. Also you have to do some tasks. But for now go to the flaming waters and go to the underworld.
Narrator: So in a day she arrived at the flaming waters. A ghost appeared out of nowhere.
Aphrodite: Excuse me, sorry to bother you, but do you know anything about Hadesa?
Ghost: No!
Aphrodite: “What’s wrong with her?” [She thought]
Narrator: She soon saw another ghost.
Ghost: Who are you and why are you here? Leave!
Aphrodite: Sorry..... do you know who Hadesa is?
Ghost: LEAVE!
Narrator: She was walking back to her boat when another ghost appeared.
Ghost: Leave, please, before anyone sees you.
Aphrodite: Please help me kind lady I’m trying to know some thing about your ruler Hadesa.
Ghost: I’m sorry, we can’t talk about our master. Please leave, before someone sees you.
Narrator: She sailed home.
Mother: My darling I was so worried, where were you?
Aphrodite: Don't worry, my dear mother, I'm safe.
Narrator: Aphrodite tells her mother about Athena and her tasks.
Mother: Go to bed for now. Tomorrow will be a busy day.
Narrator: The next day Aphrodite tells Athena about the ghosts.
Athena: Well, forget about her weaknesses. Now we will start your tasks. First, you must wait till the night of a full moon. The wind will take you to the moon. You must bring a piece of the moon to me.
Aphrodite: When will I have to leave?
Athena: The next time there is a full moon. Back to your tasks: the next one is you must go to the wild lands and cut off a boar's head. Let the body go but bring me the head. The next task is you must catch a star. You can let the wind take you there, just like the moon.
Aphrodite: Does it have to be a full moon to catch a star?
Athena: No. Last, you must go to the kingdom of Atink and kill the monster that is terrifying them.
Aphrodite: Thank you, Athena. I must be leaving now. I will see you after I get some of the moon. Bye.
Narrator: So she goes to start her adventures.
Narrator: The next full moon Aphrodite stood outside her door and let the wind take her to the moon. When she got there she took a big chunk of the moon and left.
When she got home she went to bed. The next day she jumped out of bed and went to Athena.
Aphrodite: Here is the chunk of the moon.
Athena: You have completed your first task. Remember, if you complete all of the tasks you will have no weaknesses and Hadesa can’t kill you, but you can kill her.
Aphrodite: Okay.
Athena: Your next task is to go to the wild land and kill the first boar you see and cut off its head. Then bring it to me.
Aphrodite: OKAY. I will complete the task.
Narrorator: So Aphrodite went to the wild land to look for a boar's head. She arrived in 10 hours. Then she walked for 3 more hours and finally she saw a boar. Aphrodite cried because it was a baby boar. But Aphrodite knew she had to kill the baby boar because Athena said to kill the FIRST BOAR she saw.
Aphrodite: Got Ya!
Narrator: She came home the next day and gave the boar's head to Athena.
Athena: Thank you. Tonight your task is to catch a star.
Aphrodite: Better go. See you tomorrow.
Narrator: That night Aphrodite stood outside, closing her eyes as she rose up into space. Then she caught a star and went back. The next day she took the star to Athena and gave it to her.
Aphrodite: Here is the star you told me to get.
Athena: You have one more task to do. It is to kill the 5 headed, Calebdia. I will be in the stadiam watching and waiting for you to defeat him.
Narrator: Aphrodite defeated Calebdia and she asked Athena if she had any other weaknesses, and she didn’t.
Athena: You have completed all of your tasks, and you have defeated all of your weaknesses, and now you can defeat Hadesa.
Narrator: Aphrodite sets off on sea to Hadesa’s underworld. When she gets there, ghosts surround her.
(Aphrodite swings her sword and yells.)
Aphrodite: Back, back, you crazy.... things!
Narrator: There in the distance she saw Hadesa.
Hadesa: I was expecting you, Aphrodite.
Aphrodite: How did you know it was me?
Hadesa: How wouldn’t I know that scent of perfume? I see you bought a new one.
Aphrodite: Oh ya, I bought it right when it came out. It’s Pretty Girl. I already have 9 bottles of that brand. There is Great Girl, Fancy Girl.
Hadesa: Okay, okay, I get the point. Did you come all the way out here just to tell me about your perfume?
Aphrodite: Well, you brought up the subject.
Hadesa: Then why did you come all the way out here?
Aphrodite: Um..Oh ya, to kill you.
(She puts on her evil look.)
Hadesa: You read my mind.
(Hadesa quickly pulls out a sword, swings, and misses.)
(Fight, loud noises from sword.)
(Aphrodite swings and misses. Hadesa falls on the ground, pretending that she is hit.)
Hadesa: Oh no, you hit me!
Aphrodite: Oops, I did?
(Aphrodite bends down to see Hadesa's wound.)
Hadesa: Just kidding.
(Hadesa jumps up and swings. Aphrodite leaps to the side and stabs her in the side.)
Aphrodite: I can’t stand blood. Why did I do this in the first place?
Narrator: Aphrodite sails back to her home land, and they have a big feast. Everyone is so happy Aphrodite saved the world, and they live happily ever after.
