The Dissolving Mist: Chapter 3

Diana's P.O.V

It was a journey through hell and back. At the sea, I was getting attacked more frequently. There's some giant crabs the size of an 18-wheeler, and some of them are as tough as a light tank. But I was able to fend them off quite easily.

Josh's P.O.V

We kept following Stephanie, because she had the gift of sight, which means that she knows precisely where she is going, and trusting her is the only option. It was a long trip, but we managed to get down from Mount Everest, which took hours since we don't want to risk ourselves by sliding down with our backs. It took a good 4 hours just to do that, and as soon as we're downhill, I noticed a couple of kids playing swordfighting. We passed them and they stared at us as if they had seen a ghost.

"You know, I wished I could manipulate the mist here." I told them. "But the mist here gets thinner and thinner, making it so hard to manipulate the mist."

Stephanie nodded, but just then Stephanie frowned. Although I'm not sure why, but she just stopped on her tracks.

"Guys, I don't know what had happened, but suddenly my sight, my psychic sense just got obscured, and blocked." Stephanie frowned.

"Then we are near." I told her. "We're nearing where Diana is. Come on, Stephanie. The oceans are just a couple of clicks away."

Stephanie nodded, and since we only know the Arctic oceans are just up ahead, we decided to go forward. Just then, about 20 meters in front of us, there's Hyperborean Giants doing their usual peaceful stuff and hunting some fishes for their meals. There's some grizzly bears and arctic wolves coming out of the cave and they're very hungry, so they're looking for food, and we're going to be their meal if we don't move in fast.

"Guys, we have to make a run for it!" I warned my other friends.

Gary, Adam and Stephanie got the message. We ran together, away from the pack of wolves that were chasing us. I drew my golden bow and fired at one of the wolves. The wolves saw this and they breathe icy chilly breath that froze my arrows midair. That just add some tension to the problem. These wolves can breathe ice to freeze anything its breath made contact with.

We ran faster, and the wolves ran faster towards us. I noticed that in front of us was an ocean, and there's a ship coming towards us, which is still sailing in the middle of the sea.

"That boat! We have to signal that boat!" I said to my friends. So I concentrated, and my right hand is now bright, ready to fire a very bright flare, and I shot it into the sky and I fell down, feeling nausea. Stephanie caught me and she supported me for a while, and miraculously, the ship changed course, heading towards us.

"Nicely done, Joshy!" Stephanie clapped me in the back. I lurched forward, but Stephanie held me in place to prevent me from falling.

I looked behind us and realized that the wolves were actually in disorientation. It's probably from the very bright flare that I had just fired. We decided to go towards the boat as the boat parked and a girl disembarked. As I watched, her features were familiar. She had a pink longbow and her body is glowing silver. She has to be Diana Vasquez.

"Hello, demigods." She said.

Diana's P.O.V

I continue to scan the pack of demigods until I found Josh again.

"Josh!" I said, "Why were you looking for me?"

It was no coincidence that Josh is obviously looking for me. One does not travel through near Arctic oceans if not for something they're looking for.

"I.... uhh...... want to help you." Josh said.

I raised my eyebrow skeptically.
