The Lust for Power: Chapter 6

Mikmak's POV

When I woke up, I could feel every muscle in my body aches. I remembered my dream about Josh.

He was kidnapped by the goddess of the night, Nyx, by the help of Shirato Fuuka and Elizabeth Game – traitors. He was brought in a place where there was no light but darkness, it contracts Josh powers. I wanted to help him but it was just a dream.

I’m lying at the bed conscious. I stared at the ceiling, probably thinking.

“You’re awake at last,” Adam was sitting beside my bed and his eyes were red from crying. “I found you lying unconscious at the beach, I thought you were …”

He did not finish his sentence but I knew the last word – dead.

I smiled and mouthed the words: I’m fine.

I forced myself to get up but Adam told me not to.

“Adam I need to talk to Chiron and Kari, Josh was kidnap, right?”

Adam’s expression darkened. But he nodded and supported me to stand.

When we arrived at the big house, we spotted Kari preventing Rachel to fall. After a while, Rachel begun to wake up.

Kari told us what happened.

“Me too, Josh was tied in silver rope all over his body and he’s mouth was covered with a black gag. He was imprisoned in a place where there was no light; Nyx said that it’s his weakness. I also saw Shirato and Elizabeth in my dream they were there to help Nyx you know.”

“So this means you have to go on a quest,” Adam told us.

“Yeah, I think so. But my muscles still hurt, so I think it would be better if we’ll take a break specially you Kari; you need to calm your self before going.” I told her trying my best convincing tone.

“But..but…” she stammered then sighed, “ok but just for a while.”

After that, Adam escorted me to go back at our cabin and put me on my bunk.

“Take some sleep, just call me if you need anything, ok?” Adam said.

I nodded and then closed my eyes. I thought I couldn’t sleep that night but in just ten seconds I slept.
