Hey, everyone! Sorry this took so long to write, but soon I will be free
so many new chapters will be posted. Okay, so now you know the prophecy,
well, time for the adventure to move on!
Alex's eyes flickered open. For the first time in a long while, he felt peaceful. Slowly, he sat up and yawned. He noticed that Rhia was no longer next to him. A very familiar voice snaked down from the treetops.
... must not rule
His curiosity grew as he started to scale the inside of the trunk. "So, that's the prophecy? Hmmm... it doesn't make much sense." Alex grinned at the sound of Rhia's voice.
Her beautiful face seemed preoccupied when he saw her, but she smiled at him all the same. "What were you talking about?" Alex asked. "Oh, just stuff. I'll explain later." Was Rhia's reply.
Alex sighed and gently kissed her lips. "Oh, no. Not again!" Charlie exclaimed, "All this mushy stuff is making poor Brolo sick." Sure enough, Brolo had a yellowish tinge to his ears.
"Ya. Yucky mush make Brolo sick!" said the irksome little rat. Charlie rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Well, we'd better eat breakfast on the move today. Those goblins won't be far behind our trail now."
The company of friends traveled on at a good pace. Rhia and Alex walked in contented silence; a full night sleep having done wonders for them. Charlie loped through the maze of branches, never missing a step.
"Okay, here's the basic idea I've been working on. There is no way to come back through the portal. Alex, Rhia will put you up to speed later. Anyway...I figure the best way to go would be to find and talk to one of the gods."
Alex's eyes opened wide. Just as he was about to object, Charlie began speaking again. "I think our best bet is Poseidon but, since he reigns on the other side of the island, we will have to settle for Chepachet's."
Rhia raised one perfect brow. "Chepachet's? You mean the Aztec god of war? The one that ate his worshipers' hearts as sacrifice for his kindness? Sounds appealing."
Charlie sighed. "Yes, I know. But he's closest and he owes me a favor." Alex came out of his shock to become seriously annoyed. "What did you do? Round some people up for him, 'cause I am not going to get sacrificed!"
"No," Charlie replied, "I got him out of a tight spot with Loki. He'll listen, and give us transportation." Rhia glanced at Alex as she asked, "To where?" Charlie turned his yellow eyes on her. "To Thor."
Alex's eyes flickered open. For the first time in a long while, he felt peaceful. Slowly, he sat up and yawned. He noticed that Rhia was no longer next to him. A very familiar voice snaked down from the treetops.
