The Godslingers Next Gen: Chapter 23

Lyre's POV
"Are you guys psychic or something?" I asked as I walked with them.

Finn laughed. "I am." He said.

"Oh. So that's why you knew I was Lyre and wanted to search for my cousin." I mumbled and swatted away some thorn bushes.

"Be careful!" Josh gasped. But I looked at him blankly and held out my hand. It wasn't bleeding. Yes, thorns scratched my hand, but I didn't feel a thing.

Sabre raised an eyebrow. "Hmmm.....Very impressive."

I didn't speak. I tapped my sword at the ground until we suddenly halted.

A dragon towered above us, orange-scaled with evil purple eyes that glared at us.

"Draco!" Sabre shouted. Everyone pulled out their weapons.

I scowled and charged the dragon. I heard Sabre reciting its history that it was a dragon sent to destroy the gods but was defeated by Athena in the First Titan War.

The dragon roared as if it was laughing. It scratched me behind the ear with one long claw until it reached my left cheek. I yelled and charged it. Power surged in my arms and I slashed and hacked until the dragon groaned and fell to the earth.

The others gaped at me, then Titus' jaw dropped open and his eyes shifted up above my head. The others followed his gaze.

Josh, the small but fifteen-year old looking guy, spoke in a shocked voice.

"You're a daughter of Hades."
