Chapter 5: HIM?

Blossoms POV

The earth was shaking strongly. It made me and Brick fall down. We also heard some screaming from the cabins from the far.
What the hell is going on?

The earthquake stopped few seconds later and the sky was red. Blood red.
This is weird. Skies aren't red. Right? I think I'm seeing things.
"Yo, Pinkie? The sky doesn't look normal" Brick said. That means that this isn't my imagination. This IS happening!

"I know Brick. We should-" I tried to finish my sentence, but something didn't let me. It's getting really hot. Too hot. I feel like I'm in hell, but it also felt good, due to my fire powers.
"Hahaha" I heard someone laugh. And then it made "poof". A pink cloud appeared infront of me. That kind of shocked me and I ran over to Brick and held on his arm.

A weird creature came out of the smoke. You could tell he's male, but... eh well, he's dressed up like a girl.

"So, so, you two are the fire bender." That thing said in a gay-ish voice.

"What the heck are you fagot?" Brick asked. I slapped his arm but that creature suddenly got mad and spoke in a devilish voice with us now.
"How dare you, you little brat!" he yelled at Brick. His voice softened again and continued to talk. "You will not survive, now that I've found you"

He laughed and disappeared in a pink cloud. I was still shocked and still held Bricks arm tightly. He tried to pull his arm away but he couldn't.

"Brick! Blossom! Are you two okay?!" We heard a voice from behind. We turned around and saw Monk Kūkai running toward us.

"Yes Master Kūkai. But Blossom is just 'a little bit' shocked" Brick said and chuckled. I only glared at him and turned my attention back to the monk.

"Would you tell me what happened here?" Kūkai asked. I looked up at Brick, signaling him to tell about earlier.

"A weird fagot-demon appeared. He got mad because I called him that, he he, but then he got angry and told us that we won't live long because 'he found us'. That dude was scary enough to scare Pinkie like that" he laughed.

"Quit laughing and stop calling me Pinkie! I have a name, yano?" i yelled at him. But seconds later my attention fell back to Kūkai. He made a serious face.

"Blossom, Brick. Come with me, your training can wait for now." he said. We nodded and followed him.
He brought us back to the temple, but not into the library. Instead, we went into the temples basement. There was another library. I sweat dropped.

Seriously? This library was much bigger than the one above.

"Master? Do you know who that thing was?" I asked him. He didn't answer though. He was looking through some books and got one out and gave it to us.

"Book of the monsters?" Brick and I read the title. Kūkai nodded.

"I want you two to read that book in the next few days and now listen." I looked at Brick and he was looking at the direction of the monk.

"The creature who just visited you two, was Him. Actually it's impossible for him to enter the camp. Something happened with the security wall. He's the one, who's terrorizing people from all over the world. And his new goal, my dears, are you two."

"Us? Why us?" I asked.

"HIM somehow managed to lock Hades(*1) up into the Tartarus(*2) and took over. Now he knows that you two are the successor of the heir, he wants to kill you two." Kūkai explained.

"But that means I'm related to BRICK?" I asked in shock.
"No you are not. Hades shares his powers with human beings, like he did it with your mothers and it jumped to the next generation. You two have the powers of Hades, that means you are the right successor of the heir."

"But Hades is in hell and he's evil. Does this make us evil too?" Brick asked. The monk sighed.

"Hades is not evil Brick." Blossom explained to him. „We wanted to find out but before we could, HIM killed your mothers." The monk said after my sentence. With that, I felt Brick getting tense and saw that he balled his fists.

"Monk Kūkai? What will happen to us all?" i asked him.
"My dear Blossom, you are not ready to know the full story about it." I looked down and nodded.

"Uhm one more question. Do we have to tell our siblings?"
"Yes, but not now. First, you got to translate the papyrus. This is the only way you all will understand the full truth." he said. "You can go back now. But please, right into your cabins. You can practise tomorrow after breakfast." He said. We nodded and left the temple behind us.

On our way back to the cabin, I looked at Brick. He was still tense.

"Brick? Is something wrong?" I asked him.

He looked at me and let out an angry sigh. "Yes, there is. Damn, if I would've known that HE was the one who my mother killed and not someone else, I would have finish him off." He said.

I looked into his eyes, he looked back. "Brick, I know how you feel. But look, we will get revenge. All the gods above us are probably on our side." I told him and pulled him in a hug. He hugged me back. We stood here like this for 4 minutes or even longer.

Man it feels great to be in his arms like that. Let's hope that Aphrodite(*3) is having her fingers in here.

We both pulled away. "And you should know, I'll be always here for you. Don't care if we only know eachother for few hours." I told him. He nodded.

A slight breeze came and I shivered. Brick saw this and wrapped his arm around me. With his other arm, he made a fireball to light up the way.

When we came back to the cabin, I rushed into the bathroom right after I've got my PJs and changed in there. I got out and saw Brick. Shirtless.

"Brick, wear some clothes!" I told him and covered my eyes, knowing that I'll blush deeply.

"Sorry Blossy, but no. Deal with that" he said and I heard him chuckle. Man he does that alot.

I gave up and opened my eyes. Brick went over to his bed and got in. I did the same.

"Goodnight Brick." I told him.

"Goodnight Beautiful" he mumbled "Sleep well" he added.

I smiled at that and few minutes later, I heard him snoring. But wait, did he just call me beautiful?

"Urgh, thanks Brick. Now I'll probably can't sleep because of that" I whispered and closed my eyes.

Luckily, I could drift into my dreamland.

(*1) Hades is the ruler of the underworld from the greek mythology. He's one of the sons from the titans Kronos and Rhea, brother of Zeus and Poseidon.
(*2) Tartarus is the prison of the underworld. Hades, Zeus and Poseidon cut their father into pieces and threw them into this hell-prison.
(*3) Aphrodite is the god of love and beauty from the greek mythologie. She's the daughter of Uranos.
