Selene's povI have to be the one who changes things around here. I looked at Magnus as he got off the call with his mother and turned to us with a worried look on his face.“What happened, you look like you just saw a ghost,” Gabriel asked.Olivia was seated on her favorite stool on the side of the house with a shotgun on her lap.“Moonstone was attacked yesterday,” Magnus whispered. I gasped and turned my head outside the window. Was the pain and suffering never going to end? I knew what the answer to my question was already, we had to kill Saltos and we had to kill him now.“How's your mother?” Gabriel asked worriedly.“She's fine, but the town was completely tumbled, they have a lot of casualties.”Magnus walked to a sofa and sat down. “It was a lone cyclops, and had the entire town under its gaze. Grandma had taken it down fortunately before it could do more damage.”“That's good, that's very good.” Gabriel breathed out in relief.Magnus still looked uncomfortable and I could tel

Magnus and Selene's joint memoriesI wheezed and coughed and my breath caught in my throat. All I could see in front of me was more miles ahead to cover.Fuck I can't!“You should continue moving.” A voice said from behind me.I turned around to see Daruis struggling behind me. His wounds had begun to heal but his face was still burnt in some places.I did not care about his wounds because the urge to curse him was strongly on my mind. I turned forward and continued moving forward. I could see the backs of Gabriel and Magnus who occasionally turned around to check on our progress.Gabriel's eyes were looking back in our direction at that very moment.“Hurry up you two, it's not safe to be this stretched out.!” He yelled. His voice echoed towards us. He should have thought about that before making me hike through the woods for over a freaking day. It was already way past the afternoon and the mountains still looked as far away as ever.Magnus, you shouldn't be up.” She scolded me. I p

Selene's povThere I was, standing on the edge of existence, on the edge of everything that has ever been and that will ever be.But I was not afraid, not a single atom of fear was evident in my soul. The Goddess smiled at me and her smile turned into a light chuckle after she saw the determination in my eyes.“Finally, you rise.” She said,I turned my back to her and looked at the vast space between me and the land I called home.“Your people need you.” The goddess said. She was right, they did need me. Magnus, my Father and Olivia. They all needed my help.“How do I get back?” I asked and turned back to her.“You do not need to ask me that. The power to fly, to leap and jump is already in you.” She replied and turned to go back into her castle.I remembered the last time I had been here, I had been so afraid of the jump, of what might happen to me. Of I would find, but I did not need to be anymore. I climbed the safety rail and stepped on the edge of the sky. I have the power.My

Ansari's povNight had come and with it the scary reminder of how fast they flew. I was still walking through the little bushes with Jasper by my side. How do I do it?How do I tell him that our people had nothing left? I had walked to the grainery early in the morning to see it in complete ruins. All the crops we had and all the game we hunted had all fled or killed. Everything we had was gone. Saltos was one cunning bastard. He knew exactly what he was doing and how to do it and now we were left with nothing other than a week's worth of food. The people will be looking up to me for guidance and although Jasper's people had come with a little bit of supplies to help the war effort we still had little compared to what was needed.The only way to get food to feed was to go down to the humans and that was out of the discussion. My people were starving and humans were food waiting to be devoured.“You were saying?” Jasper said and looked at me. There was no delaying it now, I had to say

Daruis's povThe smell of sulfur was almost intoxicating to me. The army marched ahead of us, monsters of every shape and size marching with weapons through the woods of Iceland.A sharp pain jolted me for a split second.Saltos looked down at me momentarily.“Do not fall weak now. I still need you. Control the boy's soul.” He ordered in his cool but demonic voice.I nodded. I could feel the sound of Daruis clawing and fighting to gain control of his body but I could not allow that. His soul will die, just like Magnus and his entire race.We came to a stop on a hill that looked down at a lonely cabin in the middle of nowhere. The grass that led up to the cabin had been scorched and it was evident a great battle had been fought there.“They killed him,” I muttered in shock.“It matters not,” Saltos replied. “They die today.”The logins marched in front with the succubuses right behind them. They were our front line. They would march ahead of us into battle and weaken the ones inside. S
