The Godslingers X 3: Chapter 10

Josh's P.O.V

I could feel my thigh and knees were starting to melt. I don't know how much longer I could hold the moon. This is definitely much much heavier than the sky, about 100 times heavier I'd say.

Then, the moon lifted itself. I collapsed to the ground and blacked out in an instant.

Stella's P.O.V

I looked for my dad, who had entered through Qadira's body and warned me about it.

There he is.

He collapsed right at the cliff where I decided to haul him to my arms. I looked at him in shock. His hair and eyes were gold but at the same time had some silver taints on it. It appears that he absorbed the power of the moon.

Then, a figure appeared behind me. I turned around, and I found myself face to face with a girl with silver eyes and auburn hair. She radiated the power of a goddess.

"Hello Stella." The girl said. "I'm Artemis."

I curtseyed in front of her. She's the goddess of the moon and the hunt. Then, she looked at Josh's listless figure, and frowned. "It looks like I had bring your father here some bad fortune."

"Artemis?" I asked. "But how come..."

"How come I am here?" She finished what I was about to say. "You see, I just tricked Nadine into letting only a few of my essence get trapped, while my other essence were in other places. You see, I can gather my essence just as easily like that. When I was kidnapped, That's simply only a little of my essence, and when the time was right, I quickly pulled my essence back."

"How about Apollo, then?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, a huge chunk of Apollo's essence was trapped inside his prison, so he remains kidnapped. But the good thing is that Apollo never loses grip on the sun."

Just then, Josh made an effort to open his eyes. I opened his eyes for him. "Steeeelllaaaaaaaaa?"

"Yes, father... I'm so sorry..." I told him.

"No need......... be safe with your new boyfriend......" He murmured before passing out.

Artemis held his head, examined it and looked at me. "He is the very best hero I've ever seen." She said softly. "I can't believe that I had made him bear my weight." She said, kissed him on the forehead and disappeared.

I decided to go back to the camp. I want to tell what had happened.
