Chapter 38

Sophie's POV

Cristine had taken me to one of its buildings, it was made of white stone, it had many columns to support the upper floors and where we were, all the floors were open, we sat on a kind of terrace.

-Please, like a noble Caterwill, you must read the writings of your ancestors.- Cristine gave me a very fat and heavy book, it was noticeable that it was old, but it was very well taken care of.

-Thank you very much, oh, I have so many questions. First, I have heard of a secret family mission, which only the nobles know...

-The answers to all your questions are in these books.

Before his words I began to read as fast as I could, I wanted to discover the secrets of my family, secrets that my family was supposed to teach me, but they left with them when they died.

Lok's POV

I was lying on my back on the floor of the boat with my knees bent. Cherit was sitting on one of the sofas that were next to me.

- Let's see if I understood, Cherit, in the magical world there are two types of vampires, the suckers, vampires that I have already had the "pleasure" of knowing, and that are vampires that need to drink blood, either human or magical creatures, and on the other hand, there are vampires like Dante, who do not need to drink blood of any kind, right? - I raised my head and looked at Cherit, who nodded confirming that she had understood- And besides, Dante is a vampire important in the magical world because he has an important position in the realization.

- You have understood perfectly Lok, but do not forget, that Dante only has a position as second of the king, he is not of the realization.

-Okay. Another question, in high school I heard that Sophie was important. That's true?

- Yes, the Casterwill has been a family of angels very powerful, rich and influential, they are almost like the royalty, they are more superior to the royalty on certain occasions, formerly the kings had to consult the Casterwill before making important decisions.

- Do you think Sophie knows all that?

-I do not know

-You do not remind her that she would not be more presumptuous.

Cherit and I laughed, but then Cherit was serious and looked at me with some regret.

-I have to ask you questions. Lok, what happened to you in Thor's temple? After returning Fenris to his amulet, you were weird.

I sat down and supported the weight in my hands by leaning a little.

-When I saw Fenris is that situation..., he reminded me. I found myself bound, scared, trapped..., I did not like being the one who caused that to another creature. And the memories did not help much.

-I am sorry to hear that. -Cherit bowed his head for a moment in pity, but he recovered and continued enthusiastically. -Second question, Sophie told me that you changed school almost finished the course, why?

-They "kindly asked me to leave"

-They expelled you, right?

-Aja, apparently some parents showed their discontent with my presence.

-That is unfair.

-Tell me.

- Another question Cherit, why they did not use the spell of Sophie to wake me up when they found me in the base of the Organization?

-Easy- Zhalia answered my question- we concluded that it would not be good for others if you were three days without sleep, think about it, you would get bored and you would nag others, and the boat is not big enough to go away from you.

Cherit started to laugh out loud, but it did not thank me, I was upset, annoyed because I knew she was right, how sad. I usually ignore the people with whom I live, and them to me, but with the team, I feel very comfortable, also for someone who listens to me and pays attention to me, I should take advantage of them and give them the can as much as I could.

Lok's POV end

Zhalia's POV

When I got all the information I needed, I went back to the boat, Lok and Cherit were on the cockpit, Lok on the ground and Cherit in one of the seats. Lok was asking a question to which I responded by earning his attention.

-Easily, we came to the conclusion that it would not be good for others if you were three days without sleep, think about it, you would get bored and you would nag others, and the boat is not big enough to run away from you.

I left the Holotomo at the controls and gave Cherit a relay, Cherit wanted to go exploring, but obeyed Dante's request to keep Lok company.

Cherit left very happy and very excited. For my part, I had to answer questions from Lok, which I did not really like, so I searched for a deck of cards and sat on the seat where Cherit was previously and invited Lok to sit with me to play.

Lok won me almost every game, I think he cheated, I hope for his sake that I'm not doing it, but if so, I pray he will not catch him, because if I do, he'll end up in the water again.

-Day Lok, do you have a fondness for getting into cemeteries?

-What are you talking about? - Lok ordered his letters.

-In the Prague cemetery, you said it was not the first time you entered a cemetery.

-Ah! That. It is not a hobby, but if any other bet.

-I get it…

-Zhalia, you know that these are the pistols the Organization has, I had never seen them before.

I downloaded my letters and looked at him very seriously.

-Lok are not good, are magical world guns, their ammunition are not exactly bullets, they have their shape and if they reach you hurt the same, but when they come into contact with the flesh dissolve and enter the organism, they weaken you, they take away your powers and they can make you sick, all in a matter of seconds. - I continued playing - It has possible side effects like for example, it can permanently take away your powers, or leave you in a state of constant illness for the rest of your life, but the most common is death.

Can do I looked back at Lok had a face of absolute terror, gave me some grief, I thought he would have nightmares for weeks.

-This ... why do not you go find Cherit, an hour ago he left.

Lok nodded and left in search of his winged friend. Take advantage of his absence to go to the cabins and change, Dante was not the only one who had plans to enjoy the sea and the sun. Once in a bikini I put on sunscreen and my sunglasses, took out a folding lounger and lay down to sunbathe.

Zhalia's POV end

Cherit's POV

While exploring the island I saw a woman surrounded by many unruly girls, unexpectedly one of the girls grabbed me by the tail and dragged me to the woman

-Look what I found, I captured it alone! - The girl sang very happy for my capture.

-I'm very sorry- The woman released my tail.- I can not control so many girls.

-Don't worry, does not anyone help you to take care of them?

-Unfortunately not, the others are very busy.- The woman approached another girl- They want so much to learn that I would like to find someone with more experience than me to really teach them.

-I'll help you beautiful- I approached her very excited, I had always wanted to teach children everything I know- Go ahead, show me the way!

I left with the woman and the girls so I could teach my first lesson.

Cherit's POV end

Lok's POV

I went to the island looking for Cherit without result, I kept sniffing the air to find its trace, but there was something in the air that prevented me from finding it, it was the same smell I detected when we disembarked.

I was distracted thinking about what that smell might be like and where Cherit could be when the ground beneath my feet broke and I fell into a very deep hole with a scream. Once down I looked at the hole where it had fallen, it was a trap for some animal and I had fallen by accident. I tried to climb one of the walls, but it was covered by a greasy and slippery substance, I fell a few times and I stained all my clothes and fur, when I was disgusted, I decided to scream for help. A very pretty girl peeked through the hole.

-Hello, you could help me, I fell into your trap.

The girl giggled and left, I thought she was going to look for something to get me out, but instead of bringing a rope, she brought a wooden lid that fit perfectly with the hole.

-Wait, what are you doing ?!

The girl continued to laugh while putting the lid and left me locked. Despite being waxed, I kept on screaming for help, I was waiting for someone to hear me and take me out of there.

When I gave up I sat on the floor and curled up wanting to be somewhere else.

Lok's POV end

Zhalia's POV

When the sun went down I went back to putting on my normal clothes and got on the boat. The next morning I woke up and checked the rest of the beds, they were all empty.

-Nobody has returned since yesterday. This is not normal.

I got off the boat and looked for Dante

-Is it that I can not leave them alone or 5 minutes?

Zhalia's POV end

Dante's POV

Medea and I were in a field of flowers, the grass was green and there was a great variety of flowers.

-Medea, I found the jewel orchids!

I raised a bouquet of large flowers and a very intense pink. Medea left what she was doing to pay attention to me.

-Perfect, to prepare well the antidote we need queen sheet too.

-Well, we have to look for it.- I only thought about curing Mets, and thanks to Medea, I was one step closer to achieving it.

-But it grows on the other side of the island.

-It does not matter where I am.- I handed him the bouquet to put in the basket along with the other plants- I will get the medicine to cure my friend as it is.

-You're a good man Dante Vale.

-Dante!

Zhalia arrived suddenly and in a bad mood

Dante's POV end

Zhalia's POV

-Dante!

I finally found Dante, he was very happy and living life with the Medea that.

-Uh? Zhalia?

-What do you do? If I remember correctly, we had a mission, right?

-We'll stay here until I find the herbs I need.-Dante answered ignoring my anger

-You just need a couple more.

Medea answered quietly, God, as I hate that woman!

-But Dante

-Not now Zhalia

-I want you to know that your puppy has disappeared!

-What?! - Medea was a little scared at the news- I hope it does not scare the girls.

-Quiet Medea, is harmless.

Dante and Medea turned their backs on me and went their way

-And quiet Zhalia, let Lok have a little fun

I let Dante leave with the hateful woman, I knew where Sophie was, but I had no idea where Lok or Cherit are, but anyway, if Dante did not worry, I would also be an island, sooner or later to appear.

-In the end, if Dante wants to stay, I have nothing to do.

I got off the mountain and went back to shore.

-Also, it's not my problem, I'm fulfilling my mission.

On the beach I met Cherit with a group of girls, I was talking about the hermit crab, and the way they hid in their shell at the threats, Cherit approached a crab to prove it, but instead of hiding he attacked, leaving Cherit in evidence.

-Master, how did our island get its name?

-I do not know why they decided to call it Medea Island, but what I do know is that Medea was a powerful figure in Greek mythology.

-Yes?

-Yes, she had a reputation as a witch and as a woman she could not play with. In the legend of Jason and the Argonauts, she could control the minds of men.

-It seems that you are enjoying.

-And it's true Zhalia. Girls, you want to excuse me for a moment.

With the approval of the girls Cherit came to talk to me, we got away from the girls and we sat on a rock.

-A titan who speaks and reasons as a person, ridiculous. You know, the first time I saw you I thought you were pretty useless, you failed even taking care of Lok, but then I started thinking.

-Yes ... -Cherit sounded sad.

-You are here since the previous time, when the titans arrived on Earth, so you must know a lot about ancient magic and what the legends hide.

-That was a long time ago.

-And what happened to you between then and now? What makes you special?

-I'm afraid I can not remember- Now Cherit was nostalgic.

- You will be thinking that I am very suspicious to ask you all this.

- For nothing, Dante asked me the same thing when we met.

- Okay, and I guess you do not feel like leaving this island, right?

Cherit's face was very funny, I was surprised and embarrassed, his response did not surprise me, he also wanted to stay.

I returned the ship and went back to investigate with Holotomo, but this time, not about Jason and the Hoplites, but about the island. I asked the Holotomo to scan it and show me the rest of the team, finally I could see Lok, it was still somewhere in the forest

-Holotomo, I've given you the situation of Medea and the other girls, why do not I see her?

"I can not extrapolate movements, I detect magical interference"

-Dante and the others are surrounded by the circle of energy thinking about their things. It's not my business, but still...
