The Godslingers Next Gen 3: Chapter 9

Lyre's POV
Finn was discussing something, but my head ached and my wrist hurt because of the fight earlier.

"Hey, Lyre!" Finn barked. I snapped to attention. "Have you heard what we're going to do?"

I lied plainly. "Yeah."

Finn nodded. "Good."

After that, we moved out of our meeting room. Passing the infirmary, I heard a muffled voice inside.

"Serve her! Protegenoi of destruction!" A familiar voice cried with an insane cackle.

"Calm him, Annabeth. He is....mad." Chiron's worried voice spoke. We stopped and cocked our ears to the door, listening.

"Where's Dionysus at a time like this?" Annabeth, of course, uttering in a disgusted tone.

"Nadine! She will prevail! Asia will be hers, then the entire world!" The familiar voice screamed again, definitely crazy.

I heard Sabre muttering, "Nadine?"

I looked at the others, and saw they had horrified looks on their faces. Nadine....no! We had put her to sleep 6 months ago.

Then, there was a shriek. It was Annabeth. "He disappeared!" Annabeth gasped. Chiron stamped his hooves furiously. "He will come to his mistress, probably."

"No." Said a voice behind us. It was quiet and calm, like Titus' voice was.

We whirled around. It was Titus, smirking heavily. His eyes were pure black.

Finn snarled. "You're possessed by Nadine." He said.

Titus just smiled and lunged at Josh, who cried out and let out laser beams. We dodged.

Josh managed to pull free from Titus' grasps and tried to shoot light beams at him. Titus moved with incredible speed, and he pounced at Josh once more.

Behind Titus, a vortex opened, vacuuming us. I shouted in alarm. Sabre pulled out his weapon, but it wouldn't do much good. We all got sucked in, including Titus.

After a few moments of swirling around in a vortex, we hit against something soft and powdery and cold.

Snow.

Rose mumbled something about "hating ice." We all stood and nearly fell again.

We were on a cliff a thousand feet below the ground. Looking up, we saw a mountain, snow-covered, stretching up so high you'd think it touched the sky.

"Mount Everest?" Josh breathed.

WHAT?!
