Artemis - Um...hi? That wasn't really a review...
I knew I was dreaming, but it all seemed so real.
I dreamed I was somewhere I couldn't identify, and a strange woman, sitting upon a throne. She never saw me, so I assume this was more of a vision.
The lady was talking to what looked like a servant, and I walked closer to hear what they were saying.
"So she is back, huh? To think, we were once best friends," the woman said.
"Until she got pregnant with your bro-" the servant started to say, but was shut up but the woman with a loud slap.
"I told you never to speak of it, you idiot!" the woman screamed. Who the hell was this woman?
I looked at my surroundings. The walls were a light blue, and had murals of people that looked as if they were praying in front of a shrine. With a moon on it.
This woman is Lunara!
"I will find her, you can count on that. And then, I will kill her with my bare hands." Lunara told her servant, with the most terrifying face.
That's when I woke up. I looked at the clock. 10:45?! I got dressed and went downstairs, no wonder I was starving! Damian and Kane were there, both of them just reading.
"Well, good morning, Sunshine," Damian said. I frowned at his pun and snickered.
"You'd think you would become a morning person since all this happened." Both boys laughed at the joke. I let them know what I thought about their jokes by flipping them off.
"Touchy," Kane said to me.
"Never been a morning person, never will. I was thinking, maybe we should go after Lunara, you know, teach her a lesson. What do you guys think?" I asked the boys.
"I think that's suicide." Kane said.
"Bad idea," Damian said.
"Of course, never side with the smartest person in the group," I rolled my eyes. Maybe they need some motivation to get them interested.
"I think we should do it, kick a little Goddess ass," I said, hoping that would make them change their minds. It did.
"When you put it that way, I'm in," said Damian.
"Fine," Kane said with a heavy sigh. Dramatic much?
"Just one problem," Damian said.
"What would that be?" I asked.
"We have no idea where she is."
Dammit.
"Actually, I know. She's in Mooshu." Kane said. "
Well, that solves that. Lets all pack up and get ready to go." I told them.
OooooooOooooooO
"Everybody ready? We have a long trip." I asked.
"Yup," Kane and Damian said in unison.
"It will take days for us to reach Mooshu on feet," whined Kane. If he was going to be like this, it's gonna be a long trip.
"Would you quit whining, I have mounts we can use." I clapped my hands together, and three mounts ran up to me. They were a horse, a lioness, and a dragon.
"I call dragon!" yelled Damian.
"I got the horse," Kane said. Once everyone was mounted, we were off.
OoooooOooooO
Soon, we crossed the border into Krokotopia, the land covered in deserts. Which meant it was going to be really hot. Great, can't tell you how much I love sweating.
"You know, people here worship Solara. In fact, they go into that huge pyramid there, and pray to her when a crisis turns up," Kane informed us.
"Really? Good reason to get out of here even faster. I don't want them to see me and notice my necklace. I'm not much of an attention lover."
Damian frowned and said, "Is that so? Well, I hate to tell you, but they're staring at us already."
Shit. I could hear the people whispering to one another, pointing at me, and giving me funny looks. I hate being stared at, it's like you can actually feel them staring, and I find that very uncomfortable.
"Just keep going." I muttered to the boys. It started out about ten people staring, now I just can't count. Didn't they anything else better to do?
"Excuse me," a local said to me. He was dressed in a robe, which I found kinda odd, being in the desert and all.
"Is that necklace what I think it is?"
I said nothing. I didn't know who this guy was, or if we could trust him. And I'm not taking any chances.
"It is, isn't it? Solara chose you to wear it."
I scowled, who was this guy? How did he know all of this? Was he a spy for Lunara?
"What's it to you? Why do you need to know?" I retorted.
"Come with me, I'll tell you more." He said.
I looked to Damian and Kane, with a look on my face that said "What should I do? Can we trust him?".
They both shrugged, which was oh so helpful of them. I thought about whether or not to follow him. Well, they do worship Solara here, why would he want to hurt me?
Well, there's only one way to find out.
"Alright, come on guys."
