The Lust for Power: Chapter 19

Mikmak's POV

I’m so relief that Evan was still alive. Kari said something about ‘watching us’ but I ignored it; I think it’s because of so much exhaustion that anytime I could collapse.

Suddenly a beautiful woman appeared from nowhere, she wore a long Greek dress and a flower on her left ear – in other words she’s really gorgeous. Just looking at her I know she’s Aphrodite, goddess of love.

“What brought you here mistress?” Evan asked politely.

“I’m just seeking for entertainment,” Aphrodite answered politely too but with a sweet voice, she’s so beautiful. No one can avoid from her charm. “Well, I’m amused at Kari’s determination to save his fellow boyfriend.” Then she glanced at me and smiled.

“Um, can you help us my lady?” I asked in a weak tone.

“Ok then, Josh just contacted me; he wanted to tell you that there are stymphalian birds coming to your way for the next wave. Be ready. Also, there’s an option at Josh’s necklace where you could activate a loud music to cause the birds in disarray. That’s all I could do for you, now.” Then she disappeared with white mist.

All of us seemed to be shocked.

“Huh? What’s that all about? She just appeared then disappeared and she didn’t even heal us? Where out of energy how can we survived the upcoming devil birds!” I complained.

“She’s the goddess of love not the god of medicine Mikmak, I think she just went here to praise Kari and tell Josh’s warnings” Evan said.

“That’s right so let us prepare…” Kari stopped because a pigeon no a stymphalian bird pass through her face. After that, Kari immediately put the necklace in its tent form. All of us entered the tent. Then more birds appeared and immediately attack the tent.

“There’s too many of them! The tent will break down if we don’t find the stupid option!” I yelled.

Evan checked the whole tent. He searched from side to side, back to front then he looked up.

“There! I think that’s the button!” Evan shouted.

Kari pushed the golden button and reluctantly it emitted a very loud music. We covered our ears with our palms to prevent ourselves from deafness. The stymphalian birds seemed to be mad, they torn each other while the others disarrayed. When all of them were gone Kari pushed again the button and then the sound disappeared.

Kari and Evan sighed then sat in exhaustion.

I raised my hand and said weakly, “Now… can I sleep?”I didn’t wait for their answer, I collapsed in just a second.
