Mytho-Academy Next Generation

Chapter 14: Visitor From Tartarus

Adrian

It's been a week since the battle with Seth, and I haven't seen much of Mia. I don't blame her, she just lost her mother. And her other mom must be devastated.

We had a funeral for both Terran and Emiko, while Lucy was deemed missing in action. Sadly, we weren't able to recover any bodies, since it was too risky. Angel and Emiko had found us by following Connor, and thank the Gods they did. A part of me wishes they didn't, too. Because if they didn't, Emiko may still be alive.

At the funeral, everyone from the old Team Demigod was crying and distraught. That was a name my parents told me that called themselves back in the glory days. Mia and Himari were hurt more than the rest. I did my best to comfort her, but she kept her distance. She told me one thing, and one thing only.

Mia: "I...I'm going to kill Seth..."

Mytho-Academy went on lockdown. We had just lost Connor and Emiko Yukari, two of our strongest Demigods. With the failed mission, war would soon be approaching. As it was now, we wouldn't stand a chance. Our students were still very untrained and from what I've heard, we've gone down greatly in number from what we used to be.

The rest of us were sad, don't get me wrong. But we didn't know Emiko that much. We were mostly grieving over Terran, however we didn't know much about him either. Lucas blamed himself for Lucy going M.I.A. and not being able to do anything. He vanished into his room and hasn't come out since.

The only person of our group I actually met up with was Yuna. She was sad about Lucy's disappearance, however she was still optimistic that she would be okay.

I met up with Yuna after classes had ended. We met at my dorm, since it was relatively quiet in the Egyptian wing. I was sitting on my bed with Yuna in a chair.

Yuna: "Anything from Mia yet?"

Adrian: "No... I'm worried she'll do something reckless"

Yuna: "I understand, she has every right to be mad or upset, but she can't let it control her"

Adrian: "What about you? Have you found anything on Lucy?"

Yuna's smile faded.

Yuna: "No... Lucy's Mom has been in contact with Hades. There isn't any word of Lucy in the underworld, so she's alive at least"

Adrian: "Do you know how Lily's doing?"

Yuna: "Her wounds are deep, she's lucky she got back when she did. Idril was able to heal her, so she'll be fine. She's just resting"

I looked out the window, reality crashing down on me.

Adrian: "We failed..."

Yuna: "Yeah... We definitely did. But it wasn't our fault. No one could've known that Seth would show up"

Adrian: "Lucy said something about how he did something for her. That has to be how she got her powers. That's the only explication"

Yuna: "She wouldn't make a deal like that, would she?"

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Yuna got up to open it. When she did, her mother, Siyuka stood on the other side.

Siyuka: "Hey, I know this is short notice, but the Gods need to see us"

She grinned.

Siyuka: "What were you two doing in here~?"

Yuna: "Talking about satanic rituals"

Siyuka: "W-What?"

Yuna stuck her tongue out at her.

Yuna: "I'm kidding"
