The Crown of Kronos: Chapter 46

Zarana's POV
I gulped at Charlie's sinister look. But I understood her plan.

"Hey Alex. Launch full lava mode." I suggested. Alex stopped staring at Charlie as if she'd dropped from space and nodded.

She began blasting lava at the wings of the freaks of the Army. About fifty fell to solid asphalt. Charlie started to create a ball of energy and blasted about twenty wings. So twenty more idiots fell, screaming.

"There's hundreds of them!" Alex shouted at us. Then she glared at me. "DO SOMETHING, Z!"

"Oh fine!" I gripped my lightning bolt tightly and focused on sending my natural energy through it, so that the blast that will come off will be stronger.

Then an explosion that maybe shifted the earth a few inches made us fall off the owl. I heard the screams of my friends, of the enemies, and of me.

"WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO, ZARANA?!" Alex screamed at me.

"Nothin'!" I shouted back at her. "I just did my stuff."

"WE'RE GOING TO BE FLATTENED TO GREASE SPOTS, YOU STUPID...." She was stopped short by a loud hoot, and our faithful owl soared down and caught us. We landed safely on its back. Its beak was smoking, but otherwise it was still okay.

Alex seemed ready to hit me. "Don't ever do that again!" She snarled.

"Okay...okay...." I muttered.

The owl gave another hoot and dived for the misty top of Mount Tamalpais.

When we landed and got off the owl, we were greeted by....Palmira.

She looked powerful now. And behind her, was her brother and a young girl with orange hair.

"Welcome." Palmira said calmly, raising a strange sword. "You have come to die at last."

I rolled my eyes.
