SpeaK chapter 9
The sun rose up and while Neru fell down to sleep, the others got up and continued their hike.
Len pulled out a banana from his dimension and peeled it off, Teto is furiously eating a sweet French bread, Miku gnawed on a stick of leak and Meiko took a swig off water. Rin is siting on a branch of tree, happily snacking on an orange.
Teto decided that she will walk along the river bank. There must be a waterfall or something like that where this came from.
Neru climbed another tree, already halfway across the mountain without knowing, and closed her eyes. The day was pleasant, with an occasional harpy attack, and soon it was sunset. Neru sat up and looked at the beautiful crimson orange sky. Okay! Time to move!
Neru looked at the beautiful crimson orange sky. Okay! Time to move! She jumped down the tree.
Meiko walked through the forest, looking around. Better find a place to crash.
She was still looking around when something heavy fell on her. "Oof!" she fell flat on the ground. Meiko looked up to find yellow stuff hanging in front of her face. " Ne... Neru? Why are you on top of me?"
The side pony tail girl was just as surprised. " Mei... Meiko? What are you doing underneath me?"
"Umm... I dont know. What about... you fell on me? [A/N: she said it in a sarcastic way]"
"Oh! Sorry... I was just going to be on my way."
"Eh? Aren't you gonna sleep?"
"already did. I slept through to day. Much, much quieter," Neru happily said, "and reducing the risk of being killed in the middle of sleep."
"oh, okay. I get it. Now can you please get off me?"
Neru chuckled and moved off Meiko. She helped Meiko up and while she dusted herself. Neru said, " Miku and I met a namean lion yesterday. What about you?"
Meiko looked up in surprise. " A namean lion? How did you kill it? But then, there is the two off you... so I guess its fair. I get to deal with a bunch of harpies while the two of you are wrestling a lion? Ugh... and you're sleeping on the trees? Smart. Why didnt I think of that?" she pulled at her own hair.
Meiko decided to walk along with Neru for awhile. They were barely walking for 10 minutes when they emerged to a huge clearing with thick fogs. They're eyes went wide.
Len was walking along with Miku. He was wondering. Hard. How on earth did I suddenly walk with Miku? But he kept on walking with her in silence.
They're walk wasn't long before they reach a huge clearing. They were surprised by the size of the clearing, obviously, but they were even more surprised to see Meiko and Neru on the other side.
The four of them stared at each other in confusion, surprise and a weird feeling on each of them. They were snapped back to reality by the vibration of the ground and a thumping sound. The four of them looked at a certain direction, ready with their weapons.
They waited for it to show itself.
On one side of the mountain, Teto looked up at the crystal clear waterfall. Her decision to follow the small river must be correct since a voice, Zeus's voice, spoke inside her mind.
Congratulations. Well done Teto. You are the second to find yourself a waterfall. This one is still clean and pure, so you succeed in the first task. Now, here is your second. Since you are the blood child of Poseidon, it will be slightly changed. Your task, is to retrieve something from this waterfall.
What is it? Teto asked.
That, you will need to find out for yourself.
With that, Teto took a breath and plunge into the freezing cold water.
The thumping sound got louder, and the vibrations got harder. The four of them waited in anxious, each gripping their swords tighter. A pair of horns came into view, and slowly the head and body was visible from the thick fog. The four kids eyes went wide, and then narrowed.
Minotaur.
At the same time, Meiko and Len charged at it. Meiko jumped onto the air, bringing her sword above her head, and slashed down, aiming for the head while Len ducked and slashed his sword upwards. Their attack was blocked by a giant ax.
With ease the ax catapulted a reply attack. Len did a back flip and crouch landed beside the other two while Meiko drops herself [A/N: (RL) from mid-air, duh. She jumped to attack but haven't landed. Just like those action anime (*/*) a fast action scene] under the minotaurs legs and rolled under it, hiding herself under the heavy fog and away from its sight.
Neru stepped in front of Len and summoned her blue bow. She placed an arrow made off light on the strings and shot it to the monster. It easily blocked the arrow with its ax that send it flying into a tree.
The minotaur brought the ax above his head and swung it down. The three kids easily dodge it and use the chance.
Len went and jumped on the ax and onto its hands and arm [A/N: (orangebanana) wow, try to imagine the size of the minotaur if Len can easily jump and walk on its arm. (RL) the size of the hand is just about the size of a normal tree (so Len is still balancing himself)] while Miku and Neru parted on either side of Len and [A/N: Neru switched back to her sword. The kids can do this thing very fast] slashed both sides of its upper thigh, making a pool of blood underneath it.
Both girls resume their original position while Len race up its arm and took a hold of one of its horns and swung on it, making the monster unstable. It tried to regain its balance when Meiko stepped out of the fog and, using her swords flat side, hit the part where both the upper and lower thigh joins from behind and thus making it slump to the ground.
Len quickly avoided the impact.
All four kids dashed onto it and slashed their swords. Meiko took hold of the minotaurs left hand stabbed her sword, straight into its hands and out into the ground, nailing it, literally to the ground.
The monsters right hand is still holding the ax and it is swinging wildly.
They need to jump to avoid getting either of their legs cut off. Neru cut open a major artery on the decapitated left hand and blood sprout out. The minotaur let out a horrible roar and swung his ax again. It was easily dodged and as the result, the weapon stabbed into the owners own upper right thigh.
Again, it roared in pain and Neru brought her sword onto the creatures neck.
A head with a pair of horns rolled into the fog.
orangebanana: now... this is what happened...
flashback
*len was chasing RL* *RL stopped and turned to len*
RL: len! if you take one more step, i will not give you banana for six months!
*len frezes on the spot*
orangebanana: *running behind len* len! if you catch her, i will give you banana for eight months!
*len took a step forward*
RL: ugh... len! if you take one more step... i will kill you in the next chapter!
*len froze and went pale*
orangebanana: its okay! i will revive you!
RL: no you cant!
orangebanana: yes i can!
*len looking back and forth at RL and orangebanana*
len: *suddenly become dizzy* AGH! somebody! HEEEELP MEEEEEE!
*meiko came out of no where and hit len*
*len fainted*
meiko: *the two authors still staring at each other*oh? there a review question.
orangebanana and RL: *looks at the laptop* eh? where?
Greekmyth3: ARTEMIS IS NOT POSSIBLE SINCE ARTEMIS IS A VIRGIN GODDESS FOREVER! Anyways question! Have you read the percy Jackson series?
RL: *sweat* yes, i have read the percy jackson series. its actually what inspired me to read more and more books, and eventually lead me to making this fanfic. and by the way, the blood children in this fanfic is different from the percy jackson series. in the percy jackson book, the halh-bloods are there because the gods marry mortal humans. but in this fanfic, they just simply put their bloods inside young kids, usually infants, so blood child from artemis is still possible. but that does not mean that rin is artemis's blood child.
orangebanana: i know right! RL is just so mean! she didnt even want to tell me who rins blood god is! hump! its obviously she wants to keep it a secret! humph! *secretly steals RL's USB that contains this chapter*
RL: haha... dont worry, i havent forgot about rin and i planned to keep it that way. at least, not until chapter... i dont know. but im planning to keep rins power and blood god a secret a bit longer... so i guess you just have to bear with it.
orangebanana: humph! *updated the chapter behind RL's back*
end of flashback
orangebanana: and... after that she chased me to death. *sigh* anyways... thank you to Greekmyth3 for posting a review question! we highly appreciate it!
