If you obtain all the bonus gifts, you win a decor to set up your little collection!

I believe the decor they may be referring to is this item... which appears in my Furniture inventory immediately after the Level 6 bonus doll with blonde hair (Aphrodite, I'm guessing).  This "scene" is not included with the Level 6 gifts, as shown in the adventure menu (http://www.ohmydollz.com/?p=quetes_afficher_cadeaux):

The setting looks a touch small in scale to comfortably display 6 dollz... but, then again, I haven't tried it yet :P

Gave in and did this on at alt, little guide here:
The day before the big day
Tomorrow is a big day! Every year on that particular day, a young lady is chosen to join the realm of Gods. Olympia, my village, is next to the Mont Olympus, next to the place where those who rule the world live.
My world is made of unicorns, siren and plenty of other marvelous creatures. And I might become a goddess tomorrow! All the dollz from Olympia dream of being chosen to become apprentice goddess.
On this last night - I hope - at the bottom of the mountain of the gods, I fall asleep watching the huge cloudy silhouette from my bedroom window.

A path full of pitfalls
All the creatures entered Olympia. They are the ones who choose who will leave with them at the end of the day.
All the candidates are standing in a row, waiting. I nearly arrived late! No way I was gonna come with my hair all undone on the day I might be designed as a future goddess! The great Minotaur who is the president of the jury looked at me with a hint of reproach... I hope it won't jeopardize my chances.
Suddenly, we hear the sound of a horn, the Minotaur, stands up majestically and launches the trials! I had to run during hours, sing and use my insignificant Olympian powers to go through all the trials...
And the great moment came: the selection

Towards Olympus
At the end of the trials, we are standing in a row again. The Minotaur and the two Nymphs with him stop in front of me.
I can't believe it. I've waited for that moment all my life!
I was about to hug that hairy bull-man when one of the Nymphs told me to follow them on the secret path that leads to the Mount Olympus. Just in front of the gold portal of the entrance to the realm of Gods, all the chosen are gathered together in front of two majestic persons. The Nymph tells me that these are my new schoolmates and our teachers: Chiron and Aphrodite.
Not long after, a guy comes up to me. I had spotted him right from the beginning and I don't know why but as soon as our eyes met, I felt fascinated. His name is Alazonei. Being both god pupils we must support each other. We also meet Thalie and Marsyas.
For once, I can't wait for classes to start!

Beginning on the Mount Olympus
Thalies and Marsyas come from a village which is on the other side of the Mount Olympus. They have been chosen too. Alazonei is more mysterious, his story seems to be more complicated. He doesn't talk bout himself much...
Before we started they had warned us, the training to become a god is really intense. In fact, the Mount Olympus is in danger: the Titans allied to Hell to take advantage of the absence of certain gods and invade Olympus...
Yet, on that very first day, my mind was more at thinking about that guy with gorgeous eyes than about the risk of an infernal attack...

First lessons
Classes have started and it is quite tiring. Prometheus showed us how he had created humans with water and clay, Homer told us legends and introduced us to the heroes! With Atlas, things became more serious, he gave us a planet each, to train!
These round things full of buzzing busy humans are really funny. I try hard to be a good goddess and treat my people well but Humans aren't easy to rule!
Alazonei is good at it! Really good! It looks like he was born to send divine lightnings, to be honored by his people, to make a village of hunters become a great civilization in only a few centuries... Fortunately everyone isn't as smart s him. When Thais cast her first goddess spell, it turned against her... That made everyone laugh, even her!
Soon I'll master magic and the art of war! It seems like everything is easier when you are a goddess pupil!

Trouble-maker
After having trained all day under the hot sun, I love resting in the shade of temples, in the cool gardens.
Sometimes, Alazonei comes with me, he's so cute... We spend a lot of time together. Thalies and Marsyas think we keep to ourselves.. It's just that there is something very strong between us. I don't know what, but I sens that we are closely linked.
During one of those peaceful afternoons, a creatures sprung up just in front of us. No doubt, it was one of those horrible creatures, a servant of Hell! At first, I remained dumbfounded, then I shouted as loud as I can to alert everyone: the attack is launched!

(Option 2) I quit Alazonei
I'm following Alazonei who is running when I realize that I can't escape! Olympus is my home, all these creatures are part of my family now! I free myself from Alazonei and run back to the battle field.
I concentrate as hard as I can and invoke the mythical powers. With my weapon, I manage to defeat several hideous creatures.
Around me, the battle ends. The Gods of Olympus cheer me for my courage. They want to reward me. I don't think I really deserve it: I only defended my house as they did.
Whatever... now I am part of the Pantheon of the Gods (I have to finish the training first)! Chiron and Aphrodite are two demanding teachers!
I never saw Alazonei after that attack. I keep in mind all the nice moments we spent together but I do have a feeling of deception deep down in my heart. Why did he flee? Why didn't he follow me? Unfortunately, I don't think my friends would accept him if he came back...
After my training I become goddess of fashion and beauty but I'll never forget that the most important is to serve your people.


Won't be able to do the other option, so if anyone wants a guide for that, can't help you... Answers to riddles are found athttp://us.ohmydollz.com/board/viewtopic … 461#p94461 and the bonus gifts are athttp://us.ohmydollz.com/board/viewtopic … 481#p94481

Total cost of quest is $203 for one ending and $253 + 150 Fee'z for both.

I love that they included Chiron in this...he's not a well-known demi-god.  I named my cat after him (the one that died last year.) :(

For those who are wondering...it's pronounced Kai-ron.  I love the story of Chiron.  He was a centaur who was a gifted healer.  In fact, he's the one who taught all of the other more known healers like Apollo and Ascelpius.  Anyway, one day he was accidently injured by Hercules.  There are several stories about how the injury took place, but the one I know best is that during one of Hercules' quests, he needed to obtain a spear that was dipped in Hydra blood, as this was the only thing that could wound the God/creature he was to fight.  Somehow, he accidentally stabbed Chiron in the side of his abdomen.  Due to the Hydra blood, the wound could never be healed.  Sadly ironic that the most gifted healer could not heal his own injury.

So, from there Promethius (I believe) gets involved.  Due to Promethius betraying Zeus by giving the gift of fire to man, he was given a horrible punishment by Zeus.  Promethius was to be tied to a stake, and every day a crow (or raven) would come and eat his liver (Gross!)  Every day his liver would grow back and the cycle would begin again.  The only way for Promethius to be released from this punishment was if a God (or demi-God) would willingly take his place.

When Chiron heard of Promethius' fate, he decided that he would be no worse off if he switched places with Promethius.  So, he did...thereby releasing Promethius from his horrible fate.

When Zeus heard of Chiron's noble sacrifice, he decided to reward Chiron by also releasing him from his fate (that of the never healing wound) and he placed Chiron in the sky as the constellation Sagittarius...so that all would remember the noble sacrifice Chiron made.

Anyway, I know I spelled a few words wrong, but it's too hot here for me to care right now. Lol ;)  I hope those who are interested enjoying hearing (reading) the story of this lesser known, but very noble demi-God. :)

(I miss MY Chiron very much, but sharing this story with everyone allowed me to spend a little time with him again...in my memory.) :)

Yay!  I'm so glad you enjoyed reading it, iklovech...but, please remember that outside links are against the rules. ;)

I too enjoyed the story. ^_^ Especially since Chiron was placed in the sky as the constellation Sagittarius (because I'm one XD)

I didn't give an outside link. What outside link did I give? I only wrote that I liked the story. Don't remember an outside link.

There was an address (that you can see I editted out of your post), that once clicked on took one to a smilie site. 

I'm glad you enjoyed the story too, nicolelong9! :)  I've always loved Greek mythology, so this was a fun adventure.  Now, I just have to figure out where to put everything. Lol

Ok then there is a huge mistake. I never put up a link for a site with smilie faces. I was never on one yesterday.

So there doesn't seem to be an added benefit to doing both endings by buying it? Like sometimes we get a 'robot' that gives us gifts or extra money.

Thanks for sharing this story.  Do you know how Chiron became known as "The Archer" for the constellation?

You're welcome. :)  I haven't yet found a definitive answer, but my best guess is because the bow was his weapon of choice (as opposed to being a swordsman, hand-to-hand, etc.)  Over time, people forgot who the centaur in the constellation was and remembered him only as "The Archer."  Again, just my best guess though.  Another legend says that the arrow of Sagittarius will always point at Scorpio and if Scorpio ever tried to do harm to anyone, Sagittarius would shoot him in the heart.

I also found another variation of how Hercules came to injure Chiron (which seems to be the most common one), so I thought I'd share that one as well. :)  Personally, I prefer the version I shared a lot more.

(The below was not written by me, but is just a simple copy and paste from one of many sites giving the same story. No author was given, so I can't credit anyone.)   

                                         -------------------------------

Chiron was as kind, gentle, and wise as the other centaurs were mean, fierce, and unthinking. Chiron’s many skills and wisdom became so widely known that children of many a famous king were sent to him to be taught all manner of skills. Among his pupils were the mighty Hercules and Aesculapius, who became so skilled at medicine.

As the story goes, Hercules had traveled far one day and was very thirsty so he asked a friend to open a jar of the excellent wine kept in his house but belonging jointly to all the centaurs. His friend did, and when the aroma of this fine wine flowed out over the countryside the other centaurs furiously galloped up to the house and demanded to know how he had dared open the wine without first consulting them.
The centaurs began to attack him and Hercules. This was a mistake, for Hercules soon settled matters by killing many of them and driving the rest from the countryside, telling them never to return. Chiron was nearby observing the event, although he has not taken part. Although Hercules knew Chiron, and deeply respected him, he could not recognize his friend from a great distance and accidentally shot him with one of his poisoned arrows. Seeing these events and knowing of his son Hercules’ sadness, Zeus gave the good centaur a resting place among the stars as the constellation Sagittarius, the Archer.
