The Wrath of Ouranus: Chapter 15

Josh's P.O.V

I was wrapped with the golden rope known as chrysó schoiní. I don't know what is happening but Niobe, who had a grudge against Artemis's spawn, Luna, decided to kidnap me. Alright, to be honest, I've had enough with the kidnapping stuff. I've been kidnapped 3 times by now.

Niobe took me to somewhere in the mountain. I recognize this place. This is Mount Skylight, but why is Niobe taking me here? Please, don't eat me, I thought.

She put me down somewhere beside a tree, and she held my head. "Now listen here, Josh McLean. I know about your past, so either you will give me your powers or I'll make you a slave."

My mind is pacing at the speed of light now. I don't want to become a slave again. I hated being a slave.

I tried to light my hand in a ball of light, but it seems to fail.

Niobe laughed. "Oh, don't bother Josh. You see, the chrysó schoiní is designed to drain your powers. And once all of your powers had been drained, I shall have my revenge."

"Using the chrysó schoiní to drain my powers, eh?" I mused. "By the way, who are you going to revenge?"

"It's not revenge you fool!" Niobe growled. She had almost the same growl as Nyx. "It's avenging! I want to avenge my children, Artemis and Apollo, who killed my children!"

"Because you boasted that your children are better than Leto's right?" I added.

"I.... Don't change the subject!" Niobe told me sternly.

I waited for my friends, but they probably don't know where I am so I decided to give them signals.

But I can't. The chrysó schoiní is not only draining my powers, they're draining my superstrong presence too. Usually, my friends knows where I am, but now I don't know.

"Now, let me explain on how I can control the sky. First thing, I work with Ouranus to take revenge. I'm the one who dropped the sky on you to see if you're strong enough, and fortunately, you're more than strong enough. So in your quest, I decided to kidnap you and take all of your powers."

"Take all of my powers?" I said, my eyes widened, then turned serious. "Niobe! You won't...."

Just then, I saw a cyclops walking towards me and he swung his hand onto me and I went flying.

I crashed into the boulders and the last thing I felt is that my ribs are broken before I lose consciousness.

In my dreams, I saw Luna trying to wake up Annabeth.

"Annabeth?" Luna called.
