The Awakening: Chapter 4

Cora's P.O.V

My friends were pretty much disappointed with me because not only I spend too much time on him but I also make our team lost.

"Cora!" Nico yelled. "What were you doing?"

"I umm..." I don't know what to say. "I'm sorry about that."

"You cost us the whole game you jerk!"

"S-sorry, but..."

"Sorry doesn't cut it! Ever since you look at him you're starting to not focus on everywhere around you. You're always fond of him! I don't know why but from now, I'm taking him off....."

"Nico..." Chiron told him. "She's a new camper. Don't take her harshly."

"Oh, ok." Nico said and trudged off to the dining pavilion.

"Cora, I need to talk to you personally." Chiron told me.

"Oh, ok." I said.

Chiron guided me to the front porch, and there, he told me important stuff.

"Alright, you might not know this, but the thing is that Josh and his friends went on a quest 4 years ago to tell Ouranus to stop dropping his weight onto demigods."

"Yeah, then?"

"I'm afraid that you and your friends had to take on the following quest to stop it once and for all."

"What? Me?"

"Yes, you and your friends. Josh here had taken a deep sleep right after the quest, he's now 13 years old."

"13 years old?" I asked, surprised. "How come he's 13 years old now? I thought you said he's 17 years old?"

"Cora," Chiron told me. "You might not know this but when Josh enters his deep sleep, his aging is in a reverse process, meaning that he will age backwards."

I've been told that before, and I'm sure that I've been told that he cannot age below 13.

"Ok, that's it for now."

Then, I was walking at the woods and back to the campfire.

At the campfire, I saw Josh and Sebastian sitting there, Josh's head resting on Sebastian's chest.

"Hello, guys!" I called them.

Josh and Sebastian looked at me at the same time. "What?" Josh moaned.

"Guess what? We've got a quest!"

"Really?" Josh said as he stood up. I knew that he really liked quests, and I am guessing the reason that Josh is taking his deep sleeps is because he's waiting for another quest.
