The Awakening: Chapter 5

Cora's P.O.V

On the taxi, I was glad I didn't have to be with the crybaby Sebastian Booth. I hope that there's no other crybabies in this quest. I relaxed my body and went to rest.

I dreamed of the sky. Well, not the burden itself, but the sky where aeroplanes used to travel through. I could sense its thoughts. Oh, when am I going to get back to my wife? The sky thought.

Then, as I watched, the sky rumbled and began to shook. Pieces of heavy rocks began to form in the sky itself, then it's getting bigger and heavier.

The sky began to form as a gigantic piece of rock that is large enough to crush Burj Dubai whole. I could tell it's about 15 meters in diameter.

Then the scene changed. I was looking at a girl. She had a brunette/auburn hair tied in a ponytail and a brown eyes. She's carrying 9-millimeter twin colt 45s gun. She's also equipped with an amazing arsenal, such as a grappler hook, Well, this girl is not a demigod, but why is my dream showing this kind of thing?

Then, as I watched, the sky above began to get denser as the pressure of the sky increases.

I woke up with a start, when Thompson shook me awake.

"Cora! Wake up! The taxi is going to refuel!"

That's when I looked at the other taxi. The other taxi is here, and my friends were there. I sighed, my friends were safe.

Just then, I heard the sky rumble and I felt something like an earthquake, but it only lasts for 1 second. I figure that the sky had dropped onto the girl I had just dreamed.

We all came out from the taxi, paying mortal cash and ran into the woods.

Josh's P.O.V

We ran and ran towards the source of the explosion. There was a girl with brunette/auburn hair and brown eyes tied in a ponytail. She didn't radiate any sort of presence, so she must be a mortal.

She drew her guns and pointed both of her pistols at us. We raised our hands up in the air.

"Who are you?" The girl asked.

"Umm..." Then, I saw the sky directly above her. "Look out!!" I shouted.

The girl laughed. "Do you think I would fall for that?" Then she frowned, looking at the sky. We put our hands down.

Sure enough, the sky began to drop on her. She rolled sideways but the sky seemed to follow her every move. After rolling sideways, the sky moved to where she roll to and dropped into her shoulder. She shouldn't be able to hold it because she's a mortal, but she seemed to be able to hold it, the weight of the sky, which was super heavy, she is able to withstand the pressure, although she starts to tremble so much.

Then, a voice laughed. "That's what you get for trying to uncover my secrets, little girl!" I could swear that the voice sounded familiar.

"I am not a little girl!" The girl groaned.

"Oh yes you are. How many times do I have to tell you to leave me alone!"

"PLEASE!!!" The girl pleaded.

"I will leave you here." The voice told her.

Then, she is left with holding the sky.

Jessica's P.O.V

I have to admit that I felt pity on the mortal girl that's holding the sky. But when I tried to approach her, an invisible wall prevented me from reaching the girl, so I decided to move on.

"Come on, Josh!" I told him. "Let's move!"

"Wait, Jessica. We can't just leave her behind!"

"Josh, there's in invisible wall protecting her..."

"Do you think I didn't know that?" Josh chided. "In my last quest, I've been facing the exact same problem and yet me and my friends found a way to free the trapped people under the sky!"

I was stunned. I didn't know Josh could get angry.

I decided to as him a question. "Josh, who are in your quest in the last 4 years?"

Josh stared at me. "Me, Luna Silver and Annabeth."

"Luna Silver?"
