The Godslingers 4: Chapter 27

Josh's P.O.V

I saw Jack just killed the sphinx that dragged Zarana.

I ran towards them, and asked if they were okay.

"We were okay, Josh." Zarana and Jack said in unison.

We all decided to return to our camps near Mount Othyrs and I kept thinking if there is a better way for us to get free from our destiny without having to sacrifice Annabeth to hold the sky forever.

Zarana walked up to me and sat next to me. "Thinking about Annabeth?"

How can she guess what am I thinking? I guess she had the same thought in her mind too.

I nodded. "We have to find a way out of this, Zarana."

"A way to prevent the massacre on us and Camp Half-blood?" Zarana asked.

I nodded. "It looks like the fates are not only angry at Andrew for kicking the basket full of threads. They're angry at us for not fulfilling what they had decreed."

Zarana paled. "So, they now had decreed that Annabeth is going to be sacrificed to holding the sky forever or else the camp and us is going to be destroyed, right?"

I nodded grimly.
