Elia Sully and The Prophecy

Fall

Quebec City disappeared behind us, and I never felt so relieved at that point. Something told me that it wouldn't be the last time I saw Khione...that she was plotting our demise. "You were amazing," Jason said to Piper, breaking the silence. Piper responded, but in French. "What'd you say?" Jason asked. "I said I only talked to Boreas. It wasn't so amazing." She replied. "Hey," Jason said, "you saved me from joining Khione's subzero hero collection. I owe you one." He insisted.

Leo then passed us sandwiches from his bag. "I still can't believe Khione," he spoke up. "She looked so nice." Even from her looks, she didn't appear "nice" to me. "Trust me, man," Jason said. "Snow may be pretty, but up close it's cold and nasty. We'll find you a better prom date." He promised, but Leo didn't seem too cheered. I felt bad that he was left out at the entrance for smelling like "fire". Whatever Leo was feeling, Festus also felt it. He grumbled and steamed.

We didn't talk when and after we ate our sandwiches. Whatever we were going to face in Chicago, kept me agitated. Boreas only let us leave because we were flying to our imminent deaths. It made me uncomfortable, just thinking that. I looked up at the stars sprinkled across the night sky. 

The glowing dots on my arm were glowing like the tiny stars unlike Leo, Jason, and Piper. Something told me that I was very much like them...a demigod, but I wasn't at the same time.

I closed my eyes, leaning forward a bit. The gentle rocking of Festus helped me fall asleep...like I did this so many times with an Ikran instead.

I had another dream... 

This time, though, I wasn't on a floating mountain. I was in a lush green jungle. The trees were towering over me and rusted metal aircrafts with the letters, R, D, and A were painted on it. Three faceless and blue humanoid figures with tails and larger ears were in front of me, as well as a faceless human. They gestured over towards the hanging technology, before running towards it. I felt reluctant to venture any further towards the haunted graveyard, but I followed them anyway, worried for the four figures. 

One of the figures, as well as the human, climbed up to one of the aircrafts suspended in the air by the vines. Th human was wearing a transparent mask unlike me. Strapped to the side of his loincloth was a rectangular object. It was connected to the mask by a black tube. I went after them to get a closer look, and we found someone's decayed remains inside. 

Seeing someone's corpse was too unsettling, so I climbed down from the aircraft, walking over to the other blue faceless figures. They were sitting down in front of the remains of a fallen Ikran. 

We gathered some flowers to pay our respects for the fallen creature, but moments after that, the vines supporting the aircraft snapped, and the aircraft fell down, tumbling over the cliff we were on. 

I barely managed to hold onto the vine with one hand as I helped pull up the smallest blue faceless figure. I looked down, breathing heavily as I saw Pa'li running away, leaving us stranded in the jungle. The vines didn't support our weight, and we fell and got ourselves entangled in another set of vines on a tree.

My mind suddenly thought of the other blue humanoid and the human who were exploring the aircraft and I looked down at the wreckage. A wave of relief washed over me, seeing them stumbling out of the dust and debris, and then they looked up at us entangled in the vines.

I then glanced at the blue figure entangled next to me who touched one of the vines holding us. The vine seemed to listen to her command as it moved on its own, untangling itself and lowering all of us down to the ground safely.
