The Lust for Power: Chapter 25

Evan's P.O.V.

"Evan!" Mikmak said to me, "How did you do that?"

How could she have known I saw the future?

"Yeah!" Kari said, "You were glowing when you attacked the monsters!"

Then I explained about my ability, and how I could see the future. But I didn't tell them that I could sense thoughts. No one could know that.

"Wow..." Mikmak said, "You saved my butt right there."

"And you saved Josh's life, and possibly Olympus." Kari pointed out.

"But there is still a good chance they will succeed." I said, "You would've joined their side if I hadn't had the vision."

She was silent. "Let's get on our way. We still have a couple thousand miles."

We quickly packed up the tent and went on our way. After we had started walking, my back hurt again. I groaned, and felt the area where the spear had hit me.

"Evan, you okay?" Mikmak said.

"Yeah..." then I collapsed.



I woke up to light. Not painful, but soothing light. Like being on a beach during sunset. I felt warm and clean, like I had just gotten out of a perfect shower. I felt my back, and my injury was gone. Someone had healed me.

I was in the back of a chariot. In front of me, Kari and Mikmak sat down. Ahead of them was a man with platinum blonde glowing hair. He had golden armor all along his body, and a long golden sword sat next to him. It was Hyperion.

"He's up!" Hyperion said, turning around, smiling. I looked into his eyes to see to small suns.

"Where... Where are we?" I said.

"Well you're on my Light Chariot!"

I looked over the edge to see lakes. Everywhere, countless lakes of various sizes spread throughout the area. It was amazing.

"Are we in Minnesota?" I said. The place was called 'The land of a ten thousand lakes.'

"Nope. We are just entering the Northwest Territory in Canada." Mikmak said.

"Oh yeah, and Hyperion told us where Josh is!" Kari said happily.

"Where?" I said excitedly.

"Just a couple miles North of Alaska!" Hyperion said, "We're on our fifth day, and soon we will be at Nyx's cave!"

We all talked for a while, and then I started to daydream. I looked out the chariot and smiled. I loved being in the air.

Then I noticed a village below us. A bunch of blue people were walking around. They reminded me of Smurfs. Then I saw a gigantic snowball come flying toward us.

"Hyperion look out!" I yelled.

He swerved the chariot to the side, and grunted saying, "We must've crossed the border of those Hyperboreans," he said, "Be prepared for a fight!"

Then we dropped down to fight the Hyperborean Giants.
