Chapter 40
Lok's POV
After destroying Medea we stayed on the island for another day, we had to fix the boat to continue our journey. Along with the destruction of the glass, the strange smell disappeared, although, although there was no danger, I did not feel like separating much from the shore, or the boat, I was afraid to fall into another illusion.
I sat on a ledge overlooking the sea next to the boat, played with the amulet of Lindorm while thinking about what happened, because of that illusion I lost some control, although not for the illusion itself, but for the fact that it was impossible. My wish that my father returns to save me, whether from others, from the world or from myself, reminded me of all the times when I wanted to, the fact that it was impossible for my father to save me from such a situation. pathetic caused anger to take over me, luckily the only victim was the girl of illusion and not any of my friends, but one of my feathers will turn white..., I should be more careful.
I looked at the amulet of Lindorm, Sophie explained to me that Lindorm was a Titan of War, Saint George was a Roman soldier, his sword was very powerful and dangerous, destroyed all that Saint George wanted and that's why he won so many battles. Due to that, Lindorm was very dangerous, since it was he who gave fame to the sword, I also made it very clear his amazement at my ability to have formed a bond with him and without complication, because Lindorm would only form a link with a seeker With great destructive skill in the battle, his astonishment came mostly because he said that I did not have that ability. My head came and went, if Sophie knew the things that I'm capable of doing, I'd really freak out and destroy myself, and that white feather could have had a very high price.
The thoughts in my head about my "abilities" had me worried, as well as the fear of not being able to control Lindorm in the battle, which Zhalia was responsible for emphasizing again and again. I do not understand why the girls got along, both have the same hobby, embitter my existence and remind me all the time that I am a puppy and a pathetic seeker, in conclusion, very nice.
A torrent of frozen water fell on me, the work of Sophie, I could not help but scream when the cold of the water reached my skin.
-Why did you do that?
-I've been trying to get your attention for ten minutes. If this had not worked, I would have had to use my powers.
I got up completely soaked, Cherit brought me a towel to dry my hair and my ears. I looked at her with a look of hatred.
-You did not think about putting a hand on my shoulder.
-That would not have bothered you so much, now you have to dry all the hair you have." Sophie laughed a little.
-I know what happens to you! You're upset because in the end you gave me the soda.
-One, you're wrong, and two, that thing is undrinkable!
-It's just a lemon soda.
-Hey Lok, are you going to summon Lindorm?- Cherit asked, realizing I had his amulet in my hand.
-Yes ..., of course- I looked at the amulet with a lot of insecurity.
-Why not Lok?- Sophie looked annoyed. -You've never invoked him, not even practiced.
-I know it sounds strange, but I feel intimidated by him Sophie- I could not help thinking that I also felt a little intimidated by me.- If I cannot control it, I could hurt someone.
That was true, for both. Sophie got on the boat and picked up the Holotomo.
-We'll check it
In the Holotomo appeared the image of Lindorm.
"Lindorm: attack: 4; defense: 3; type: gaya-titan warrior; Special abilities: crushing attack, wild spirit "
Lindorm statistics intimidated me even more, it was a dangerous titan and I had to admit that I was not a very skilled seeker.
Dante under the boulder where he was practicing martial arts and approached us.
-What means that his strength in combat compensates for all the inconvenience.
-Dante, do not you think Lok should try it?- Obviously Sophie went to Dante to do what she wanted.
-Your concentration has improved, maybe it's because of the sea breeze.
-All right I'll try, but then leave me alone.- I looked at his unsafe amulet- Lindorm!
Lindorm appeared in the water, was an impressive titan, had a wolf face with boar tusks and two horns on his forehead, his arms were like a bear, but with really long and sharp claws, his body consisted of a trunk that ended in a tail similar to that of a snake.
-It seems very evil.
She said something disappointed before Lindorm, although I do not know why, her description did not say that it was an adorable puppy that likes to be burned.
- Come on, Lok! Let's see some action.- I'm asking Cherit.
-Okay... - I was not sure about that and Dante's tension did not help, it seemed that he was preparing to fight.- Lindorm! -I tried to sound as authoritative and sure of myself as I could- Throw that rock into the water.
Lindorm seemed to obey me, looked at the huge stone he had indicated and took it by throwing it into the air, I thought he had managed to control it, but hit it with his tail throwing the huge pieces in our direction, most fell into the water, so technically something if he did, but we had to dodge the rest of the pieces. Immediately Lindorm looked at Dante and me with a fierce look.
-Spectrum of thought!
I looked over my shoulder, saw Zhalia smiling, her hands glowing with a faint red light, waves of the same colour passed over our heads and projected another Lindorm into the water, but of gray colour. Both Limdorm started to fight.
-Lok quiet, for sure.
The illusion of Zhalia disappeared given me just enough time to relax and concentrate, as Dante told me, and I managed to return Lindorm to his amulet.
-Don't thank me all at once.- Zhalia joined us.
-And why? - As not Sophie was unable to be kind to Zhalia.
-Because I have finally mastered the power of illusion that we experience.- Zhalia was in a very good mood, she was so happy that she did not listen to Sophie.
-Great! - My tails moved happily, even, a blow to Cherit, who flew to my side.- Surely it will be of great help.
-Oohh, yes ...- now you can use illusions, great ... - Sophie's tone made it very clear that she was not at all happy with the achievement of Zhalia.
-Look Lok- I was a bit surprised when Zhalia ignored Sophie's comment, and she did it to give me some advice! - Lindorm is a very violent titan, you will have to have destructive thoughts to control them. -I could not help moaning and crouching my ears and tails, I did not want to have thoughts of that type.- Well, do not we have a mission?
-That is, we are going to look for the Argo today. - Dante jumped on the boat, resting one foot on the railing to have better momentum.
Lok's POV end
Third person
Grier had had to meditate on his decision to take command and get rid of his superior, he knew that Defoe was not an agent who ordered orders and was a problem in almost all its aspects, the other option was to leave the Organization, but It was not a very convenient option for their plans. He knew that, even if he left, the Professor would get rid of Defoe one way or another and probably would not be very pious with him, besides, he was the only one who could keep the Organization away from the puppy or at least at a prudent distance and blaming Dante Vale for the failures in his capture, he had to admit that it was fortunate that the boy had finished with him, otherwise he would have had to risk a lot more.
An agent knocked on the door of his new office and entered, bowed to him in respect and handed him a letter, bowed again and left. Grier read the letter, made a ball and threw it in the trash with a lot of anger. He was forced to embark on a new mission, but not before making the decision and dealing with the problem of Defoe.
Once he resolved all his affairs, he took several helicopters and his men and went to Sutos. He and his men arrived just in time, in the palace of Sutos was being attacked by rebels and in the village, they were causing havoc. Grier and several of his men, all military, descended from the helicopters catching the attention of those present.
- This island, Sutos, and all its inhabitants, are now under the orders of the Organization.
One of the rebels confronted Grier and threatened him with a sword, Grier, looked at the rebel without flinching, they were simple humans, Grier took out the amulet from Breaker and summoned him to give the troublemakers a good scare, the villagers ran their houses. Grier ordered his agents to take care of the town while he would take care of the "Lord of War" mansion.

Dante's POV
The information that Zhalia had obtained while the others were trapped in our illusions had been very helpful. Zhalia was with me at the controls guiding me while I was piloting the boat, the boys and Cherit were behind trying to enjoy the trip, although it was costing them.
In recent days the heat had increased, but today, it was unbearable, I had taken off my raincoat, Zhalia the neck scarf, Sophie the socks and Lok had just put on the white short-sleeved shirt. We had all drunk a lot of water, and we were thinking of taking a bath in the sea, even Lok felt like it, although he cannot be blamed, he has more hair than the others and must be hot. Those who were better than we were Cherit and I, as I am a vampire my temperature remains more or less constant be cold or hot.
Sophie was researching the Hoplites and Lok and Cherit had decided to take a nap to better withstand the heat, or to die dehydrated, whichever came first, sometimes Lok has worrying ideas.
After an hour's journey and with the indications of Zhalia we were approaching our goal, however, two huge stone walls made us stop, between both walls there was a corridor through which to navigate, however, two walls in the middle of the sea they could not be good.
-Look at that.
Said Sophie approaching the controls with a soft drink in each hand, one for her and the other handed it to Zhalia, a very kind gesture on his part, although I guess she does not want to die dehydrated, that way she would not have to who to discuss
- No doubt the Argo happened here. - Zhalia affirmed checking the information.
I looked over my shoulder and verified that the girls had not realized what was happening, or rather what was going to happen, Lok was still sleeping, a part of me wanted to let him sleep, because whenever he wakes up he wants to play, but another part knew that it was not good to continue sleeping under this sun.
-Sophie, wake up Lok, let's continue.
Sophie did as I asked and woke up Lok, I heard him complain and Sophie get angry for sleeping during a mission. I accelerated and made Lok fall again in the place where he was sleeping.
-Dante, what are you doing?
Lok looked at the walls we were going to go through with fascination, just like Sophie. I stopped the boat
-Look up there, there are marks on both sides of the cliff.
-It must be a coincidence.- Cherit reassured her.
-Or maybe not.
They all looked at me a little scared, and I did not help him to call Calibam, but we were going to need his help.
-What do we need it for?
Lok asked as he opened the fridge to get a soda, Calibam jumped on the front of the boat making him lean like a trampoline and throw the fridge that Lok was using to the inside of the cliff, it slammed shut crushing the refrigerator. Lok moaned, bowed his ears and pouted as he ran out of soda.
-Not the most elegant trap I've seen- Zhalia commented somewhat surprised.
-Anyone who passes by will be instantly crushed.- Sophie confirmed without wanting to go through in the middle.
-I have an idea, and Lok. There are more soft drinks in the other fridge.
The air that came to me suddenly made me suspect that Lok was wagging his tails with joy. The walls of loss began to separate. I accelerated the boat to the maximum to pass while repositioning in his position.
-Give yourself strong!
We had barely entered when the walls had almost been placed in their position.
-We're not going to get it, the engine is getting warmer!
Zhalia's information alerted me, if the engine overheated it would explode and stop, and we would be crushed.
-We have a few seconds left!- We had already passed half the cliff.
- Would it help if we push?
Zhalia's sarcasm told me that we were in a critical situation. Despite being a joke, Lok took it quite seriously, jumped from the back and leaned on the platform that we used to go down into the water putting his legs inside, Sophie helped him with "Fast-light", a power that it allowed Lok to move his legs so fast that he made the boat faster.
-It works, but it's not fast enough. Calibam!
Calibam ran and placed himself next to Lok, I helped him with "Feetfire", so that he could also move faster allowing the boat to be even faster. Calibam, seeing that the walls were closing, grabbed Lok by the shirt and threw him to the bottom of the boat and jumped apart his arms and legs to keep the walls apart while we got out, once we escaped the trap, the walls were closed crushing Calibam and returning him to his amulet.
- We got it - Cherit said something astonished, did not seem to believe it much.
-Narrowly.
Zhalia confirmed him. Lok came up sighing in relief and soaked upstairs under.
-Well, thank you Dante, by the hair.
- Give them to Calibam.
It was no surprise to me that Calibam made the decision to throw Lok back, all my titans are ordered to keep him and the rest of the team safe.
-You just wanted to take a bath, right? - Sophie teased.- Wait, where are we? - Asked looking around.
-In the island of Sutos- Zhalia answered- And that bay ...
-It's the perfect place to sink the Argo and no one can find it.
