The Half-blood Chronicles

Chapter five

I scanned the jungle for movement. I had started the mission maybe an hour ago. I wasn't a human right now, but a eagle. There! I swear i saw some movement down by that old temple. I swooped down onto the roof. A grubby boy, maybe around 11-12 was sitting on an old part of the temple. Poor kid. I felt bad for him so i appeared infront of him. This way i got a better look at him and i wouldn't be stalking. He looked panicked but he didn't say anything. 'hey, hey, its okay, i'm not going to hurt you, I'm here to help, whats your name?' I smiled at him. He calmed down and pointed to a carving in the walls of the temple. 'Cyrus' I picked him up and teleported to some place safe. I was surprised to see my dad and Myth. 'Deirdre! Woah, so to put it short, i sort of recognize him' Myth explained, a bored expression on their face. 'I will take care of him' Dad took him from me and took him of to the bathroom, i don't know how i knew that, i just did. 'Why was i sent here? I meant to teleport to the kampidescopian palace' i murmured. 'Oh! Thats because i found you mission buddies! There names are Octavia and Adeline!' Myth grinned, obviously happy with the idea of me having 'Mission buddies'. But again, who would refuse new friends? Not me. Suddenly a short redhead in a maid dress entered the room. 'Deirdre, this is Adeline' Myth gestured to her. Another girl entered the room, this time she was tall, tanned and had black hair. 'My name, is Octavia' She smiled at me. 'Okay, so they will join you 2 days into the quest, and it hasn't even been an hour yet' Myth explained to us. AJ the needy dog strutted happily into the room. He nodded at us like he was some sort of extra fancy president. A cloud of violet appeared around me. I waved goodbye as i evaporated into dust. The last thing i heard was distant male laughter, and the feeling that i had forgotten something important.....

I let out a deep breath as my opponent fell on his face, dead. I kicked his face for good measure. I transformed into a crow and began to hide among a load of fellow crows who had been flying peacefully above. It was nice being strategic and smart. I dived down to my hide out as we flew above it. I made an amazing landing, and spent a generous few minutes giving myself compliments. I shape shifted back to a human, testing my arms and legs for a sec, good, they still work. I got down on the ground and grabbed the sideways wooden ladder. I  pulled myself right down a small slanted space into an area that looked like the inside of a large cabin. I stood up and helped myself to the blueberry muffins that Raven had sent me. Each tasted better then the last, i only had three out of 20, even though she sends them every day. I changed out of my sweaty leather clothes and into a more comfortable outfit.
Dang, this was boring. I was scrolling through Pinterest when i heard footsteps above me, meaning someone was walking on the grass roof. I pulled on my helmet and grabbed my spear. I transformed into a snake, and proceeded to slither up the slanted opening. As i reached the vine covered exit, i heard a voice, it was talking to someone through something i couldn't see, about invading Blouna. If i was a human, my face would be purple with rage, then again, if i could blush as a snake, i wouldn't put purple faces past it. I went down a secret passage and quickly got to another, smaller opening, not only could i hear them and the other person better, but i could also do a quick and stealthy attack. 'They think i'm dead, hah! I cannot wait to see the look on blondies face!' An annoyingly familiar voice laughed through the device. The man who had been walking around the roof snorted. I just couldn't tell whos voice the first one was, it was right there... Ugh, lemme guess, i won't remember till i'm a ghost. Maybe.....Nah, i watched her die, theres no way....but...NO! I scolded myself silently. Wait- i'm guessing y'all want a description of the dude. Well he has the weird loki style hair, and mustard yellow eyes. The realization suddenly hit me. Luciano, i recalled, was supposed to be our new enemy. Sweet, i can kill him before a war starts! With a sudden swift movement, he had me by the neck in human form. 'Stupid girl, think you can hide from me' he said it with a smile, creepy.... Okay. He threw me into a tree, hard. A loud crack etched a scream out of me. Flip, he broke my leg. I cursed as he neared me, grabbing me by the head, he smashed it into the tree. I began to feel incredibly dizzy, as my sight darkened
The last thing i heard was Luciano laughing on the phone to his friend.
