Astron's Cry: Chapter 4

Heart's P.O.V.
"What'll we do now?" Evan asked. We all stared at Josh.

''Well? You're the leader!'' I wanted to blurt out. He stared at the murals for a good 10 seconds until he replied.

"We'll have to go and find them." He declared.

I made choking sounds and acted like my hand was a knife that cutted on my neck. Was he insane?! It's nighttime, demigods ans demititans are vulnerable at night, when darkness blinds us until we are killed.

"Yes Heart?" Josh said.

"Are you crazy?!" I blurted, "You'll get us killed once we step out of the lines!"

Everyone knew what I meant, the darkness was the monsters' friend, we'd be blind at night, we will never sense or see if a monster will try to eat us.

"We have to try, right?" Mary supported Josh's suggestion.

I sighed. I knew Josh was the leader and all, but, sometimes, we aren't like Romans, when someone dies, you just pay little attention like it was just a pet ant that died. This group and every others just had 5, smaller than a cohort.

I gazed at the murals, once, we were like a family, now, we're blended, but for Astron's only hope, we have to embark on a quest I'm 98% sure we might not survive. But I had to think straight for now.

It wasn't because of some things and all, but if Josh get deadly sick during it, we'd be dead. I was sure we could succeed, yet why did I feel like we wouldn't?

I shook my head to get the thought out of my mind. "Fine." I finally said.

But none of us ever cheered, the worried looks drowned out the silence. We were all unsure of what this quest can turn us into, we were only five, the circle was closed, and I bet Lucira won't be too happy if we lose one member.

We all stared at Josh with hope and nervousness, I can clearly tell we were all scared. But Josh still stayed firm, 'cause all the problems'll just go to him.

I prayed to the gods. I prayed we can find out who took Hyperion and Apollo. . . . and if we can ever survive.
