   "Wind. There is something mysterious about the wind. It sings." I said. "Why do you think so? did you hear it sing?" Mom laughed. "Yes, and it called me." I said timidly. "Oh.. then go and play with the wind." She said smiling. "How?" I asked. "Just call him, he will come." She smiled and went in the kitchen. I walked out, in the green lush lawn. I closed my eyes and felt it. I heard the birds calls, I heard the call of the drizzling water stream nearby, and I called him. Something inside me roared, lit up like a flame. Some light rays descended down, and the wind howled back. He came.

But...I cannot remember him...it hurts." I told Oliver. He was back from the woods and everyone was fast asleep. Christopher went to bed just a while ago, but it felt like forever. I felt complete with him. I can't feel like this...I have a boyfriend...whom now I think I don't admire that much...

"That's a weird tale." He said with those beady eyes. "I know. You asked me to share a weird episode of my life, that's what you get!" I laughed a little. "Yes, I should have known. So, did you find him?" He asked under the luna's light. The trees were enjoying the night by the rustling sound they made. Bats were flying across the sky. "No, I can't remember." I sighed. "I think I need sleep." I yawned. "Oh yes, I'll just be here for a while, you go. " He said and I started towards my room when I saw something shining near the edge. "What's that?" I asked myself. And then it disappeared. "Nevermind." I said and went to bed.

Andrew's P.O.V

"Sleep. Sleep. where are you? why can't you find your way back to Andrew?"I was trying to go to sleep, instead, I heard a "Shut up." From Ashton. "Hey, I can't get some sleep here!" I retorted. "Just go out, take some air and then go to sleep. That will help. Just don't sing such miraculously worse songs written by you, gotcha?" Drew yelled, pleading. "Okay...." I said and went out.

It was indeed a very long and weird day with so much happening. And I heard a cry. It reflected pain. "What?" I looked around and called Ashton. He came running wildly and looked around. "There is nothing here, you fool. Just get some sleep." He rolled his eyes and walked towards the room, and the cry came again. This time much louder. "Now, thassome thing." A sleepy Jake came out with a dagger. "Let's see." Ashton said.

"Okay..." I whispered and walked behind them.


Iris's P.O.V

What was that? My heart started beating faster....like someone was in danger, the one I care about... I pulled my sword out and came out of the room, the door was left ajar where Ashton and others were asleep, I looked towards Oliver's room, I was closed. Maybe he was a heavy sleeper, fast asleep. I didn't want to disturb him so I turned towards Christopher's room, his room was open, and in a very bad condition. "What?" I whispered. A note was stuck at the door.

'Solem in periculo'

"What?" I said out loud again. How can sun be in danger...Christopher is a descendant of the Sun community? Yes....that explains the sun on his bow. I have to save him...before it's too late....


Christopher's P.O.V

"Why are you trying to kill me...who are you?" I groaned in pain as another punch hits me in the gut. "Do you remember that tomorrow is summer solstice ? the Solstitium?" The voice in the dark said. The solstice...how can I forget! tomorrow the prophecy ends, the 10th summer solstice of the curse... that means ..... if I died I will not see Atalanta ever again... I'm powerless in the dark, now. I can only gain power in the dark until she is beside me.... 

"What do you want?" I asked as the painful knife went through my hand, and believe me it hurt badly.

"Death of Luna's descendant. I'm just tired of covering the real story of the past myths. I want you and her to die, or to break. I don't want you to be important to this world, I want it under my fame, my power. I want to rule and control the stones, and all I have to do is to kill you." He gave a mean laugh and pierced the knife in my chest. "No..........." I screamed. The knife had a covering of ash, it made me more weak..... I felt my body go numb, I felt my eyes shut, go down in the tireless sleep of forever....

"No!" I heard a scream. There stood everybody, and Iris came running towards my, my lying body, I felt myself drift away, fading away....

She took me in her arms, her eyes filled with fear and endless tears rolling down her cheek.....

"Atalanta...I have very less time..." I said.

"Can you shut up!" You'll be fine soon and then I will give you a whole one hour lecture on how reckless you have been, I know everything, you pussy!" She smiled in her tears.. Wait...

"You remember...you recalled everything?" I choked my own blood.

"Oh yes, and I remember the spell which I used that day in the garden when you were lying in your own pool of blood and I had that bunny in my hands. Just don't forget, ever.                                  I love you, Christopher Romero Archer." She cried. She knew the truth...

"But it's late..it's late now...I can feel myself going back...you have to save yourself I will wait for you on the other side....I love you more than you can imagine...." I murmured and I felt the darkness swallow me....
