Chapter 9
Dante's POV
I couldn't tell you how long we had been sailing. It was around I guess dusk when it happened. A giant squid rose out of the water. I stared in awe at the beast. Midnight however attacked it on sight. Heat did the same. The monster destroyed my boat and I was plunged into the murky depths.
Midnight's POV
Dante was nowhere in sight when we vanquished the squid. Flame and I set up a camp and waited.
"Do you think he's alright?' I asked my voice shaking.
"I honestly don't know sweetie. He could have drowned or he may have swam to another shore." Heat said even though he didn't show it I knew he was worried to.
"Well I hope he's ok." I said a little better than before.
"I'll go gather more wood for the fire." Heat said rising from where he stood.
"Ok." I said looking into the dimming fire.
It had been an hour and Heat hadn't returned. I went to look for him in the dark woods that he had gone into. In about ten minutes I stumbled upon a camp. I was relieved until I saw the signs on the tents. When I turned to run I saw a figure I hadn't wanted to ever see again. Before I could scream my former sister knocked me unconscious.
Dante's POV
I woke up in a cell. One look around and I wasn't happy. The place I was being held was run by none other than the squid army. They seemed to be celebrating. I knew it wasn't my capture though I was a nobody to them.
"Hey what's with the celebrating?" I yelled at the closest squid army member.
"The capture of Sky of course didn't you hear he was captured by the lady of the end." He said getting happier after each word.
I knew this wasn't good. When he went to celebrate with the other squids I made quick work of picking the lock to the cell door. After I picked the lock I ran for portal the squids had made for easier travel. But when I got back what I saw was not pretty. The land where I'm guessing Heat and Midnight had camped in was destroyed and the forest near it was burning. I knew that it was time to end this.
