The Ancient Prophecy

21 : The Plan - Sot

"So what now ?" Sot smiled with excitement "What is the plan ?"
Phedora and Charis stared at him with the same surprised expression . Sot seemed to be the only one actually happy to go on a quest that could probably cause his death . That is understandable . He always wanted to go an a quest and now he could go on a quest with the Chosen Demigod . That means he will take part in world salvation .
He could never admit it , but his life was kind of boring . That is why he kept on going to all those parties , sneak into the most forbidden places in the city -which explains the healed scars all across his body- and make friends with lots of people . Not that he did not like doing all of these . He knows everyone around the base . He talked with everyone at least one time .
"Next we have to get the soul of Athena ." Phedora said with a serious expression "And I guess that that one is in the Underworld ."
Sot's smile dropped slowly .
"The Underworld ?" Charis frowned . Gods , she looked beautiful even when she frowned "But how do we get there ?" she turned her head to Sot . He felt himself panicking slightly . It was not observable for anyone .
"Do not look at me like that ! I may be a master sneaker , but I have no clue how to get to somewhere like the Underworld !" Sot said then put a hand to his chin "At least not yet ."
"So could you find out how to ?" Phedora asked . He saw the hope in her eyes .
"Probably , but that means lots of hours in the library ... or talking with Hades's children ." he shivered at the memory "Those kids really are creepy ."
Charis streched her arm and grabbed Sot's shoulder . He flinched at her touch "You will survive it . It's not as if they will kill you ." he saw her smirking , probably holding in a laugh .
He frowned at her slightly . Then he softened his gaze. I cannot be mad at her .
"Fine ." Sot finally said "I will do it for the sake of the quest ." but it was mostly for Charis .
"Great ." Phedora smiled faintly "Me and Charis will have to find out how to trap the soul into one of the artifacts ."
"The Hecate kids could help . I know one . I cannot say that we are friends , mainly allies , but I suppose he could want to help . He helped me sneak somewhere unobserved one time ." Sot searched through his mind for information about the demigod "His name is Petros . He's a little bit shorter than me , has dark brown hair and eyes . He's mostly dressed in dark colors so he's easy to spot . He's very serious and does not take jokes so don't make jokes unless you want him to not help you . I learned that the hard way ." Sot smiled awkwardly .
"We can handle that ." Phedora said "Thanks for the tip , Sot ."
"No problem . You guys are lucky someone like me helps you ." Sot smirked .
Charis rolled her eyes , but she was smiling "Yeah yeah , your social butterfly self helped us this time ."
Sot felt a surge of happiness at Charis's words . I will always do everything in my power to help you .
"So it's settled ! Tommorow we will start to gather our information . It's getting late now ." Phedora said . She was right . Sot looked out the window and saw that the sky was already dark blue , the stars shining brightly .
"You two have two other roommates , right ?" Phedora asked "Isn't it kind of late for them to be outside ?"
"It is , but they don't really spend time here . It's a miracle if they sleep in here . And if they do , they leave the room a mess ." Charis shook her head .
"Yeah , really ." Sot chuckled .
"You leave a bigger mess than them , to be honest ." Charis smirked .
"Maybe I do ." Sot smirked too .
Phedora chuckled "Alright , then I will take my leave . See you two tommorow !" she got up then walked to the door .
Some minutes later , Sot and Charis were left in silence .
"Well , we should go to sleep ." Charis finally said , breaking the silence .
